Pingyao Binggan

Pingyao Binggan

　　World Cultural Heritage site and renowned historical and cultural city—Pingyao Ancient City—is located just twenty kilometers south of a secluded valley known as Guozigou. Here, springs babble, streams run clear, forests thrive, grass flourishes, and fruit trees fill the air with fragrance. The valley is home to a variety of wild fruits, among which the bing fruit has the longest history and finest quality. Since its artificial cultivation during the Chenghua era of the Ming Dynasty, the bing fruit of Guozigou has gained fame both at home and abroad for its vibrant color, rich aroma, and sweet-and-sour flavor. Pingyao Binggan, processed using traditional methods, offers a unique taste and is known to nourish the skin, benefit the lungs, aid digestion, and relieve fatigue—making it especially suitable for women, children, and the elderly. Historically, it was exported as far as Eastern Europe and Russia, where it was warmly welcomed.

　　 Pingyao County boasts abundant bing fruit resources, yielding around one million kilograms of bing fruit annually in normal years, which can be processed into 200,000 kilograms of binggan. Using traditional binggan processing techniques, the county has launched an exquisitely packaged, uniquely flavored local specialty—Pingyao Binggan. Upon entering the market, it quickly earned praise from consumers and holds significant market potential.
