Fuling jiabing

Fuling jiabing
is a traditional specialty snack food of Beijing and is an integral part of their culture. It is a pancake-like, thin white piece of snack made from flour, sugar, and ''fuling'' , sandwiching some contents made from nuts, honey, and other ingredients. The flour is usually mixed with ''fuling'' , which is a kind of Chinese medicine from Yunnan province. Different contents sandwiched give a variety of ''Fuling jiabing''. The pancakes can be carved into beautiful patterns, too.

It used to be light snack served to the royal family or governmental officials in the Qing Dynasty. Now it has become one of the tourist's must-have snacks of Beijing. Century-old traditional Daoxiangchun is the best known for its ''Fuling jiabing''.
