Wannian Tribute Rice enjoys worldwide fame and is served to foreign heads of state visiting China. This snow-white, translucent rice originates from Heqiao Village in Peimei Town.

By the Zhengde era of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor dreamed of Jiangxi having a "thousand-pound winter melon and inch-long rice," prompting officials to search the region. Eventually, they discovered it in Heqiao Village. The emperor was so fond of it that he decreed the villagers to "cultivate it generation after generation and offer it as tribute every year," hence the name "Tribute Rice."

When eaten, it boasts a delicious flavor that becomes even more aromatic the more you chew, offering a unique taste—best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. First, a piece of dough about the size of a steamed bun is pinched off, stuffed with meat filling, then flattened on the kneading board using a rolling pin. Next, it is placed on a smooth, convex ceramic surface and pressed thinner with water-dipped hands. At this point, it is pressed onto a board evenly coated with a thick layer of peeled sesame seeds. A pancake with a diameter of over twenty centimeters is now ready to be baked. The baking oven is about one meter in diameter, with burning sawdust inside—smokeless and flameless. About forty centimeters above the fire is an iron plate. The maker presses the side without sesame seeds firmly onto the plate, causing the pancake to stick to it using the heat. In a short while, the pancake slowly puffs up inside the oven. In about five minutes, a large, fragrant Zichuan meat-filled baked pancake is ready to come out.
