Wanping Tofu

　　Wanping tofu is produced in Wanping Town, Yongshun County. Its production began in the Ming Dynasty and gained fame during the Xianfeng era of the Qing Dynasty, boasting a history of several hundred years. Made from pollution-free green soybeans and pure natural spring water from Shanmu River, Wanping tofu is crafted entirely by hand using traditional folk techniques. It is known for being rich in nutrients, having a delicate texture, and being exceptionally chewy. As early as the Ming and Qing dynasties, Wanping tofu was served as a tribute and became a delicacy in the imperial palace. The Tujia people also often use dried tofu to entertain honored guests and give as gifts to relatives and friends.
