　　　　Product Introduction: Huzhou is located in the northern part of Zhejiang Province, on the southern shore of Taihu Lake, and has long been famous for its culinary excellence throughout China. The Ding Lianfang Thousand-Layer Bean Curd Skin Bun was established in 1878 (the fourth year of the Guangxu reign in the Qing Dynasty) by a local merchant named Ding Lianfang, who used his own name as the brand name. It has been passed down to this day and is one of Huzhou’s most renowned specialties. The bun is made from premium lean pork, combined with dried scallops and shrimp, and carefully crafted with thousand-layer bean curd skin (also known as bean curd sheets). Rich in nutritional value, it contains abundant protein and various amino acids. It is widely celebrated across China for its tender meat without greasiness, aromatic and appetizing quality, soft texture, and delicious taste. The renowned calligrapher Fei Xinwo once praised it after tasting it at the shop, saying “Fresh and refined, its fame spreads far and wide.” Thanks to its unique flavor and widespread popularity, and through the efforts of several generations, this traditional snack has become a representative Jiangnan delicacy embodying Huzhou’s traditional food culture.
