Must-Try Foods in Wuqiao County

Wuqiao Sugar Balls

A traditional snack in Wuqiao County, originated in the Qing Dynasty. It is made of hawthorn as raw material, coated with rock sugar syrup, can be strung into balls or made into slices, crispy outside and sour inside, sweet but not greasy. It spread because acrobatic artists often took it as dry food in the early years, and it is a "acrobatics snack" that tourists must try.

Fried Tiger (Vegetable Dumplings)

A special breakfast in Wuqiao, also known as "Vegetable Dumplings". It is made of flour for the skin, filled with chives and egg filling, rolled into an oval shape and fried until golden. The outer skin is crispy and the filling is fragrant. It is named because of its tiger-like shape, and it is one of the most common breakfasts on the streets of the local area.

Wuqiao Old Tofu

Traditional breakfast in Wuqiao, made of soybeans with unique craftsmanship. The tofu curd is tender in texture, served with sesame paste, soy sauce, leek flower, chili oil and other seasonings, rich in salty and fragrant flavor. It is jokingly called "tofu that can dance" because of its smooth and tender taste like "acrobatics soft skills".
