　　Yiyang Pa Tang

　　Yiyang Pa Tang has a long history and is well-known throughout the Dongting Lake water region. About the size of a cigarette pack, it is milky white in color with sesame seeds evenly covering its entire surface. Its length, width, and thickness are well-proportioned. Typically, there are 20 to 40 pieces per jin (500g). The interior features four large holes, 64 small holes, and 1,024 tiny pores—fine, uniform, and dense. It crumbles easily at the touch, resembling a cedar-like texture, with a soft, crisp interior that is richly fragrant and pleasantly sweet.
