Jing Yang Guan

Nothing beats a bowl of hot rice in soup，or paofan，as a hearty breakfast for authentic Hangzhou-ness.Pickles，or jiangcai，are highlights at any morning table Jing Yang Guan pickle store was founded in 1907 by 26-year-old Shou Daqing，whose technique was so good that even the royal family couldn’t resist this humble folk dish.The pickle’s influence in Beijing started with officials from Hangzhou who took their breakfast habits with them when posted to the capital.Before long，everyone，from common northern folk to the Empress Dowager herself，couldn’t get enough of Jing Yang Guan’s special recipe.Today you can find the shop on the Southern Song Imperial Street across from the Wanlong Ham House，offering pickled gourd，cucumber，carrots，fermented tofu，and countless local spices that may enrich your taste palate.
