It's great to bring home some Beijing style pastries and snacks during holidays. The time-honored brands including Daoxiangcun and Yushiyuan are worth your time to choose.
The most common ones are the eight gift boxes in Beijing, the moon cake gift boxes during the Mid Autumn Festival, and the Lvdagur (Glutinous Rice Rolls with Sweet Bean Flour), Pea puree cake, tuckahoe cake, hibiscus cake, rose cake, peanut crisp, Zongzi, preserved fruit, and various kinds of biscuits. Whether you are purchasing a large box or customizing it in bulk according to your personal preferences, you will definitely be able to buy a hand gift that will make you feel happy.
Although some Beijing specialty stores can now be found throughout the country, and corresponding official agents can also be found in reliable online stores, personally selecting specialty pastries on site is also an expression of deep affection for friends.
Beijing style pastries are considered a very good specialty in Beijing. They are good at handling pasta in the north, but fine pastries are generally not as strong as those in the south. Therefore, we need to present this representative. Famous stores in Beijing recommend three old stores: Daoxiangcun, Bainian Yili, and Yushiyuan.
Daoxiang Village has a high reputation for its pastries. Dongzhimen is the main store, with a wide variety of pastries and guaranteed flavors. During the Chinese New Year, it is very suitable to give Daoxiang Village pastries as a gift to relatives and friends, and they are of high quality. Especially the Mid Autumn Festival mooncakes, they can be considered a masterpiece.
