You are working hard in Beijing and want to bring some Beijing specialties back as gifts to your relatives and friends, but you don’t know what to buy? In fact, there are many specialties in Beijing, not only delicious ones but also many fun things. Next, we recommend some Beijing specialties that are suitable to take back.
Beijing Roast Duck
The century-old Quanjude Roast Duck is known as "the best in China". After the high-quality Peking meat duck is grilled with natural fruit wood, the duck's body turns red. , the skin is crispy, the duck meat is fat but not greasy, and the tempting aroma is revealed from the inside to the outside, even the sweet noodle sauce can't cover it up! Beijing roast duck is known as "the most delicious food in the world" and can be said to be the representative of Beijing cuisine. In addition to dining in, there are also many vacuum-packed roast ducks for sale, which can be bought and taken home. The most famous thing in Beijing is roast duck, but I would rather choose Bianyifang or Dadong roast duck than Quanjude. They can be roasted and packaged freshly, and then vacuumed.
2. Daoxiangcun Pastry
Daoxiangcun in Beijing is a Sanhe brand. Are you sure? This one is authentic. You can directly choose a ready-made pastry gift box, or you can mix your own pastries and package them in a gift box, which is appropriate. Of course, when you come to Beijing, you must try Beijing Daoxiang Village. Old Beijingers will recognize Daoxiang Village with the "Sanhe" trademark, because it is an authentic "southern flavor spot" in Beijing. Anyone who has bought Daoxiang Village knows that Daoxiang Village’s cakes are very real. Daoxiang Village’s assorted cakes: cheese cakes, fennel smoothie cakes, red bean roasts, soy lecithin cakes, cashew cakes, multigrain sponge cakes, fried noodles; Daoxiang Village’s sugar alcohol cakes : Sugar-alcohol multigrain shortbread, sugar-free cookies, sugar-alcohol husband cake, sugar-alcohol papaya cake, sugar-free saqima, etc. There are many varieties to choose from.
Recommended: beef tongue cake, snowflake cake, brownie
3. Zhang Yiyuan Jasmine Tea
I heard from friends in Beijing that Zhang Yiyuan’s tea is better than Wu’s If Yutai is well-known, it is more suitable for gift giving; Zhang Yiyuan specializes in tea and founded the base in 1994. He is also a veteran tea merchant. He produces and processes green, red, white, green (oolong tea), yellow, black, scented tea and other teas. Beijingers consume more scented tea.
Recommendation: The most classic jasmine tea
4. Wu Yutai Tea Biscuits
Wu Yutai was founded in 1887 and mainly deals in tea. It has been 135 years old. With a history of more than 20 years, there are now more than 200 outlets with annual sales of more than 100 million yuan. In addition to shops selling refreshments, there are also teahouses and teahouses with specialized performers to provide performances for tea customers. This is also normal in Beijing. There are more and more rich people. To kill time, people like to make a cup of scented tea and watch programs. You can choose scented tea and matcha biscuits, which are their specialties; but biscuits can only be bought on Qianmen Street. You need to line up in advance to get a number. The purchase is limited to three boxes? 18 per box (12 pieces)
5. Centennial Yili Butter Biscuits
I have bought their butter biscuits in barrels. The style of the tubes has a retro feel. I remember it was ?99, which is very suitable for giving away.
6. Sun and Moon Shengliangxing Erbajiang
My old Beijing friends strongly recommend it! He said that his Erba sauce tastes very good. It is 20% sesame sauce + 80% peanut butter. You can buy it yourself and try it.
7. Tianfu Hao Sauce Elbow
It is also recommended by old Beijing friends. It is a time-honored deli in Beijing. There are many choices and there are also gift boxes that can be given away
Recommended: Sauced elbow
