Yangbanqiao Thousand-Layer Tofu Sheets

Last updated 2026-11-10 — In Linli County, there is a small stream near Yangbanqiao that originates from a spring in the ancient Gushan Mountain. The stream water is sweet and flows year-round. The tofu and thousand-layer tofu sheets (doufu pi) made using this water are pure, tender, delicious, and have a unique flavor. Legend has it that during the Qing Dynasty, they were once offered as tribute to the imperial court and served as part of the royal cuisine. Even today, people still come here in an endless stream to buy tofu and thousand-layer tofu sheets. (Changde)
