Wen Xi Zhu bing

Wenxi Cooking Cake has the reputation of "the king of cakes" in Shanxi, and it also has the reputation of "no production of Chinese cakes". Shaped like a full moon, the skin is covered with white sesame seeds, so the appearance is moon white. It is wrapped in sesame seeds, rounded, and filled with chestnut and crimson white cakes. It can be pulled out into filaments several centimeters long. It tastes crisp, sweet, non-sticky, non-greasy, and does not deteriorate for a long time. It is still a popular food for all ages.

Jishan dough twists and preserved apricots

Jishan Twist was founded during the reign of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty and has a history of thousands of years. Jishan Twist not only inherits the traditional skills and techniques of twist, but also injects modern technology into the production of twist. The twist is delicate and small, like a double dragon winding, golden and shiny in color, crisp and fragrant in taste, and the store is crowded with customers every day.
