"Lvdagun" is a long roll made of rhubarb rice and fillings. Soybean flour is rolled which looks like a rolling donkey, hence the name. The raw materials of "Lvdagun" include yellow rhubarb rice, soybean flour, sugar, sesame oil, osmanthus flowers, nuts and so on. Its production is divided into three processes: making dough, making the filling, and stuffing. The finished "Lvdagun" is covered with soybean flour, with a golden brown appearance, sweet filling, and soft and unique taste, which is a traditional snack suitable for all ages.

"Lvdagun" is one of the Manchurian and Beijing ancient snacks, originating from Manchuria, first appearing in Chengde, Hebei province, and becoming prevalent in Beijing. Because the people of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty loved sticky food, lvdagun was soon introduced to Beijing and became a flavorful snack in Beijing. It was a tradition of the Manchus to like sticky food because their hunting life was often to go out early and return late, and eating sticky food can help control hunger. Lvdagun is a popular snack that evolved from sticky food more than 200 years ago.
