Ganchuan is a common snack in northwest China. Originated in Weinan, Shaanxi. When making Ganchuan, lean meat, fat meat and other meats will be cut into long strips, marinated with special seasonings, inserted on thin bamboo sticks and barbecued on charcoal fire. During the baking process, the aroma is overflowing and the taste is delicious. So Ganchuan has also become a food choice for many people.

Paired with drinks can make Ganchuan more delicious. Because sweet strings are salty, you can choose light drinks to match them, such as beer and green tea. The refreshing taste of beer and carbonated bubbles are helpful to digestion, while green tea contains a lot of polyphenols, which has antioxidant effect and helps to enhance human immunity. For people who like to eat sweet skewers, a cool glass of beer or green tea can also relieve the heat and cool down.

Ganchuan is also a representative of traditional culture. Historically, sweet skewers used to be one of the indispensable foods for folk festivals. Now, Ganchuan can also be seen in folk cultural activities in some places. For example, in traditional festivals in Shaanxi, some people will light a bonfire, taste Ganchuan and other foods in front of the bonfire and celebrate the festival together. Therefore, Ganchuan has also become a special food connecting folk culture and taste buds.
