　　Jade Crystal Dumplings are a snack from Baise, known for their attractive appearance, delicious aroma, and tender texture.

　　Baise is one of the snack paradises in Guangxi, where you can indulge in stir-fried snails, grilled duck intestines, roast duck rice noodles... and, of course, the beautifully shaped, thin-skinned, savory, crystal-clear, and tender Jade Crystal Dumplings. Their “emerald green” wrappers are crystal-clear, filled with various stuffings—both pleasing to the eye and the palate. These small, oily, jade-green, and translucent dumplings are sure to whet your appetite.
