Tianshui specialty snack Guagua is a special food in Tianshui area.

No matter it is the harsh winter when the cold wind blows, or the midsummer when the sun is blazing, there are always purple-red guaguas for sale at the stalls. There is a constant flow of diners and the business is particularly prosperous.

There are many varieties of Tianshui Guagua, divided by raw materials, including buckwheat Guagua, iced bean Guagua, pea Guagua and flour noodle Guagua.

Among them, the most popular one is Qiaobiaoguagua.

The production method is to first turn the buckwheat flour that is abundant in Longnan into "buckwheat seeds", soak it in water, process it, and extract the starch. Then add the starch to the pot with water and cook over low heat until a thick layer of bright yellow color is formed in the pot.

When it is croaking, it can be taken out and placed in a basin with a lid. After recovery, it can be eaten or put on the market.

The way to eat Tianshui Guagua is also quite unique. First tear the Guagua into small pieces and then add spicy oil, sesame oil, mustard, soy sauce, salt, vinegar, garlic paste and other seasonings.

If Northwest people like to eat hot and sour food, then Tianshui Guagua is a typical spicy snack.

Lard box is a famous snack in Tianshui, Gansu Province, and the locals call it the palace snack of the Qing Dynasty.

It is modified on the basis of "Lard Pastry", a palace snack.

The main ingredient is fine flour, and the auxiliary ingredients include pork suet, green onion stamens, sesame oil, refined salt, etc.

The method is as follows: ferment the refined flour and set aside; use additional oil and flour to make crispy dough in a ratio of 1:3; then cut the green onions and pistils into small pieces; add alkali to the fermented dough and knead it until it is strong and tough.

When the dough is ready, stretch it into a long strip, apply sesame oil, and knead it into 1 or 2 layers of dough; then flatten the dough, wrap it in raw pastry, roll it up, flatten it, wrap it in pork suet, minced green onions, refined salt, etc., and pinch it to seal it.

Serve as a round lard cake.

Put the griddle on the fire and apply a little sesame oil. After it is hot, put the cake base into the griddle and bake it for a while. Then pour an appropriate amount of sesame oil into the griddle and half-fry and half-fry the raw cake base until golden brown.

Take it out of the pan and bake it in the oven until cooked.

Making dough is commonly known as "washing dough".

As a native Tianshui person, I recommend the following route, where you can eat, drink and play.

Moreover, Tianshui's simple folk customs, ancient buildings and pleasant natural scenery will definitely make you come and return with satisfaction.

The planned travel time is two days.

Day 1 If you have traveled a long distance, you can stop in Qinzhou District of Tianshui City, where you can visit the city’s scenic spots.

First stop: Fuxi Temple.

Fuxi Temple is a business card of Tianshui. It is also a place of worship for Fuxi, the ancestor of mankind. It can pray for blessings and has a strong representative significance.

(It is recommended to visit for 1 hour) Second stop: Nanguo Temple or Yuquan Temple (it is recommended to choose one of the two).

Nanguo Temple was once famous for the travels of the poet Du Fu, who once wrote a poem "Nanguo Temple on the top of the mountain, the water is called Beiliu Spring".

Yuquan Temple is the largest Taoist architectural complex in southeast Longnan. If you are interested in Chinese Taoist culture, you can study it.

(It is recommended to visit for 2 hours) The third stop: Hu’s residence is also the Tianshui Museum.

Hu's residence is a typical and well-preserved ancient residence in Tianshui, which has a strong representative significance.

It is also the Tianshui Museum. Visiting it, you can feel the intuitive portrayal of Tianshui as a historical and cultural city.

(Recommended to visit for 2 hours) Fourth stop: It depends on your mood and you can play freely. Tianshui is a standard slow-paced city. You can walk on the streets of Tianshui and feel the slowed down life that you have not seen for a long time. Go and take a look at the borrowed river scenery.

The water and sky are the same color, the water is blue, and you can also take a photo next to the ancient cypresses that can be seen everywhere. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
