Introduction to the historical background of northern Shaanxi cuisine;

Hengshan Mountain is an ancient frontier city, located at the junction of the middle section of Yulin Ancient Great Wall and the southern edge of Mu Us Desert. Here is a collection of loess farming culture, grassland nomadic culture, ancient Great Wall frontier culture, religious history culture, modern revolutionary culture and long-standing folk culture. We went to the county seat, enjoyed the rich natural and cultural landscape there, and tasted the local food featuring "mutton".

Mutton is the daily food of Hengshan people, and the "haggis" made of sheep offal is also a famous food in northern Shaanxi. Leather clothes and fur jackets sewn with sheepskin are the "precious clothes" of farmers, shepherds and porters in the past, which can shelter from the wind and rain during the day and can be used as bedding to keep warm and keep out the cold at night.

Sheep's wool is the treasure of Hengshan people's "making money from sheep", and cashmere winter clothes have already sold well all over the country.

Sheep bring delicious food and wealth to Hengshan Mountain. Three sheep open Thailand, good luck. Hengshan people today are proud and happy.
