San Chi Noodles

Last updated 2026-11-13 — San Chi Noodles The village of San Chi, located to the north of Xushui, is famous for its noodles. Unlike Shanxi-style knife-cut noodles, San Chi Noodles use buckwheat flour instead of wheat flour. The noodles are made with a flat knife, resulting in long, evenly thin strips rather than the thick-middle, thin-end shape typical of other styles. Instead of serving the noodles in bowls, they are placed on flat plates. San Chi Noodles can be customized according to diners’ preferences, offering a variety of widths and thicknesses. After being boiled and plated, they are topped with spicy oil, vinegar, and a sprinkle of scallions. The texture is smooth, chewy, and incredibly delicious. Several San Chi Noodle shops have opened in Heyang County, but many people still prefer to make a special trip to Tongjiazhuang to enjoy the authentic version.
