There is a couplet written during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty: "The yellow flowers outside the Great Wall are like gold nails on the ground, and the white pagoda in Beijing is like silver diamonds in the sky." The yellow flower written here is the nasturtium.

The golden lotus is almost unique to Saihanba. Every year in July and August, Saihanba is like thousands of gold stars falling to the ground, and the surrounding fields are covered with golden flowers, like a brocade, spreading over the fields, which is quite spectacular.

Nasturtium has a slightly bitter taste and a moisturizing and cooling nature. It can be used as medicine or as a tea.

When used as medicine, it can clear the heart and improve eyesight, dispel fire and moisturize the lungs, relieve cough and expel phlegm.

When the tea is matched with rock sugar, it will be sweet and bitter, clear and refreshing, and have a long aftertaste. It is known as "the best tea outside the Great Wall." White Mushrooms There are many varieties of white mushrooms on Saihanba, including "Tianheban" as big as a cattail leaf fan.

There are dragon ear mushrooms as small as elm coins, chicken claw mushrooms with rich fungus aroma, small grass mushrooms with elegant taste and pure taste, normal mushrooms shaped like umbrella caps, and odd-shaped mushrooms shaped like balls.

Bashang white mushrooms can be used as marinades or stuffings; they can be used as soups or as side dishes, making them a unique dish outside the Great Wall.

Eat a few delicious meals while visiting Saihanba, and take some with your relatives and friends before leaving. It is a very precious gift!

Bracken Bracken, also known as Ruyi Cai, is as famous as Bashang White Mushroom. They are both top-notch in Saihanba's menu.

Every year before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the young bracken shoots are picked back when they are still like crystal green jasper. They can be scalded with hot water in time, or pickled, or dried in the sun. They can be stored for a long time and can be eaten cold, cooked in soup or

Stir-fried food has different tastes.

Silver noodles and cat ear noodles are made of Saihanba specialty buckwheat noodles and oatmeal noodles respectively. The former is silver-colored and silk-shaped. It is a low-sugar food, rich in multiple vitamins, and made of local

Boiled noodles have a smooth, crisp, moist and refreshing texture, and were one of the royal foods of the Qing Dynasty.

Back then, Emperor Kangxi led the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to Mulan Paddock to hold the Autumn Festival Ceremony. After eating this noodle, he was highly praised.

After the ceremony, he ordered the imperial chef to bring a lot of noodles back to the capital, but no matter how carefully the imperial chef cooked them, they still didn't taste as good as what he had eaten in the paddock.

The next year I went back to the paddock to practice martial arts, but I found the original feeling again.

The emperor and his ministers were all puzzled. Later, a local old woman reported to the Ming Emperor that the cause was water.

The imperial chef then brought Mulan Water back to the capital, and sure enough he tasted the same delicious food as Mulan Paddock.

Cat's ear noodles are made from mixed oatmeal noodles and kneaded on top of straw. The shape resembles a cat's ears, hence the name.

Cat's ear noodles are sticky but not greasy, smooth and tasty. Once you eat it once, you will never forget it. It is the most preferred noodle of Saihanba people.

In addition, buckwheat and oatmeal can also be baked into cakes, steamed into nests, rolled into fish roe, made into fried noodles, or mixed with other wheats into mixed pasta, all of which are extremely delicious.
