　　Among the many local specialties of Zhongjiang, there are two renowned food brands well-known both within and outside the province—Zhongjiang’s “Silver Thread” hand-pulled noodles and “Eight-Treasure” oil cake. Thanks to their unique craftsmanship, excellent taste and flavor, and nutritionally balanced ingredient combinations, these two delicacies have enjoyed widespread popularity among consumers for centuries since their inception. Their fame has spread far and wide, and their sales remain strong. They can be considered two remarkable gems among Zhongjiang’s foods.

　　Zhongjiang Hand-Pulled Noodles are handmade, with a long history and unique traditional craftsmanship. They are known for their sweet taste and snow-white color, as well as their tender and delicious texture. The dough undergoes multiple rounds of fermentation, which creates tiny pores in the noodles—hence the saying “straight and hollow throughout.” Their exceptional tenderness and easy digestibility also stem from this process. To enhance their nutritional value, ingredients such as leek juice, spinach juice, egg whites, egg yolks, and cinnabar are added during production to create varieties such as egg white noodles, egg yolk noodles, cinnabar noodles, and jade noodles, catering to the preferences of different consumers.

　　Zhongjiang Hand-Pulled Noodles have been recognized several times as a high-quality local specialty by provincial, regional, municipal, and county authorities, earning widespread favor among consumers. They are one of the best choices for visiting relatives, friends, or giving gifts.

　　Zhongjiang Eight-Treasure Oil Cake is a premium pastry made primarily from refined flour, essential oils, and honey, with added ingredients such as peanuts, mashed muskmelon, walnut kernels, eggs, fresh rose paste, candied cherries, sesame seeds, and white sugar. Handcrafted using special techniques, carefully selected ingredients, fine workmanship, and abundant nutrients, it features a crispy exterior and soft interior, along with a sweet and delicious taste and excellent quality. It has been awarded the title of high-quality candy four times by provincial, regional, municipal, and county authorities, and is hailed as a distinctive, traditional, and nutritious food among Zhongjiang’s specialties.

　　The characteristics of Eight-Treasure Oil Cake include being rich but not greasy, crispy but not dry, moderately sweet with a pleasant aroma, highly nutritious, and easy to digest. It is an excellent nourishing treat. After decades of continuous effort, Eight-Treasure Oil Cake has secured a well-deserved place among premium pastries and confections. Its reputation extends far beyond the province, making it one of the top choices for gifts to family and friends.
