　　Many older folks remember that the “Henglong Pastries” from Shan County in the past were known far and wide both within and beyond the county for their beautiful shapes, delicate craftsmanship, sweet taste, and rich nutrition.

　　However, for quite some time, these treats disappeared from the market, and people often reminisce about this “time-honored brand.”

　　After the reform and opening-up, Ma’s family in Xiguan set up the “Xinglong” Pastry Factory. They hired the master bakers from the former “Henglong”

　　and inherited the traditional techniques of “Henglong Pastries,” bringing back the essence of those classic treats.

　　“Xinglong Pastries” now offer over twenty varieties. In addition to some traditional pastries, they have also developed unique “specialty-style” pastries. These are excellent in shape, color, aroma, and taste.

　　Take “Xinglong’s” Osmanthus Crisp Cake, for example — if you unwrap the paper and gently place it down, it will crumble. It is known for its fragrant, refreshing taste, no residue, melt-in-your-mouth texture, and digestive benefits. The traditional “Da San Dao” (Big Three-Cut) pastry, thanks to “Xinglong’s” unique recipes, ingredient blends, and refined craftsmanship, has an even richer, crispier, and more aromatic flavor, and it stays fresh without spoiling over time. “Bee Cake” is another household name. “Xinglong” guarantees that its Bee Cake dissolves instantly when brewed with hot water, turning into a genuine “Bee Cake beverage” — perfect for the elderly. Additionally, “Plum Blossom Cake” and “Lotus Cake” are also distinctive, not only for their elegant appearance and vibrant colors but also for making anyone’s mouth water at first sight. People often say with satisfaction: “Xinglong has inherited Henglong and taken it even further.”

　　“Xinglong Pastries” have now become an indispensable delicacy for the people of Shan City. When visitors from other places come to Shan County to visit relatives, friends, or for sightseeing, they are happy to bring back some “Xinglong Pastries.”

　　According to the producers, their products have been exported as far as Fujian, Beijing, Qingdao, Heilongjiang, and other provincial capitals.

　　The Pastries Factory under the Shan County Chengguan Supply and Marketing Cooperative produces pastries that are not only pleasing in appearance but also delicious in taste. Among them, the Glutinous Skin Mooncakes, Sesame Slices, and Crisp Skin Mooncakes are all high-quality products.
