Mooncakes with peach skin are a type of mooncake with a soft and tender crust and a unique taste, and peach skin mooncakes are usually preservative-free, so mooncakes made with peach skin filling can be eaten directly.

The mooncake has a long history of being used as an offering to worship the moon god. The term mooncake, in extant literature, was first included in Wu Zimu's Meng Liang Lu (Record of Dreams and Leaves) of the Southern Song Dynasty. Mooncakes have been blended with local dietary customs to develop Cantonese, Jin, Beijing, Suzhou, Chao, and Dian style mooncakes, which are loved by people all over China, north and south.
