Daoxiangcun

As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, Beijing Daoxiangcun has launched 9 flavors of packaged zongzi, including two new flavors. One is the Beijing-style shredded pork zongzi, incorporating the flavor of "Jingjiang Rousi (Beijing shredded pork)," and the other is the Five-color zongzi, which incorporates five colors of rice symbolizing the "Five-color silk threads" worn during the Dragon Boat Festival.

In addition to individually sold zongzi, the store also displays exquisite zongzi gift boxes that are equally eye-catching. The whimsical "Nine Sons Zongzi," the elegant "Daoxiang Zongzi Love," and the traditional "Beijing Fragrant Zongzi" gift boxes, totaling 6 styles, carry the festive wishes of the Dragon Boat Festival.

During the same period, Beijing Daoxiangcun also offers Five-poison Cakes and Scholar Cakes gift boxes. The Five-poison Cakes inherit the folk wisdom of "repelling the five poisons," while the Scholar Cakes combine the auspicious meaning of "succeeding in the college entrance examination," both using traditional food as a carrier to showcase the cultural charm of traditional customs.

In addition, Beijing Daoxiangcun has introduced hot freshly made zongzi in over ten stores this year. In addition to jujube zongzi and red bean zongzi, there is also a new Eight Treasure Bamboo Tube Zongzi. The fragrant zongzi leaves mixed with the sweet aroma of glutinous rice have attracted many customers to line up for purchase.
