　　 Yingde's Xiniu Town is located in a small alluvial plain downstream of the Liangjiangkou area. With abundant rainfall, fertile soil, and crisscrossing ditches, it is highly suitable for the growth of bamboo shoots. The dried bamboo shoots produced here have a golden, vibrant color, tender texture, and sweet taste. A full range of varieties is available, including shoot tails, bamboo shreds, dried shoots, and shoot skins, making it a well-known local specialty. The world-renowned Xiniu dried bamboo shoots have been cultivated and processed since the Ming Dynasty. Administrative regions such as Jinzhu, Chimi, Shushan, Huatang, and Gaodao have long maintained the tradition of planting bamboo shoots and crafting premium dried bamboo products. Using authentic Xiniu bamboo shoots, high-quality products such as dried shoots, shoot tails, shoot tips, shoot skins, and shoot slices (large shrimp slices) are produced. These bamboo shoot products were being exported to Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and various parts of Southeast Asia as early as the mid-Qing Dynasty.
