Details

To discover the sweet heart of Huizhou culture, visit the Huangshan Huizhou Pastry Museum. Here, history is not only seen but also tasted—through a hands-on workshop in traditional dessert making.

You’ll learn that these sweets are far more than simple treats. Each design, created with hand-carved wooden molds, carries symbols of good fortune and is closely tied to festivals and celebrations such as the Lunar New Year.

Under the guidance of a master, you’ll mix local ingredients like glutinous rice flour and brown sugar, press the dough into molds, and shape delicate pastries - including the famous honggao (red rice cakes) , whose deep red color symbolizes happiness and prosperity.

The result is a truly complete experience: you’ll come to understand the cultural significance behind each pastry, practice an ancient craft with your own hands, and - best of all - taste the fruits of your labor. You’ll leave not only with the authentic flavor of Huizhou, but also with the memory of a centuries-old tradition brought to life by you.
