义乌 旅游攻略

Yiwu's most famous product — traditional brown sugar made from locally grown sugarcane using methods passed down for over 400 years. The sugar is produced by boiling sugarcane juice in open pans, then stirring continuously until it crystallizes. It has a deep molasses flavor, a crumbly texture, and a rich mineral content. Yiwu brown sugar is used in cooking, as a topping for pastries, and as a warming winter tonic.

A legendary Yiwu street food from Donghe Village — thin, round pancakes stuffed with seasoned minced pork and scallions, then pan-fried until golden and crispy. The pies are rolled paper-thin so the filling is visible through the translucent dough. Each bite delivers a perfect balance of crispy dough, savory meat, and aromatic scallions. Best eaten hot off the griddle.

A specialty from Fotang Ancient Town — thick, hand-pulled noodles served in a rich pork bone broth with thin sheets of tofu skin (qianzhang), shredded pork, pickled vegetables, and scallions. The noodles are chewy and satisfying, while the tofu skin adds a delicate texture. The dish reflects the simple, hearty flavors of traditional Jiangnan home cooking.

A hearty and flavorful dish from Shangxi Town — beef offal (tripe, intestine, tendon, and tongue) simmered for hours in a fragrant broth with soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon, and chili. The offal is tender and infused with the rich spice flavors. Served hot with a dipping sauce of garlic, soy sauce, and chili oil. A beloved comfort food among locals.

Yiwu has a centuries-old tradition of ham curing, producing a product that rivals the more famous Jinhua ham. The hind legs of local pigs are salted, pressed, and air-dried for months, developing a deep rosy color, concentrated flavor, and firm texture. Yiwu ham is used to flavor soups, braises, and steamed dishes, adding layers of umami.

A traditional sweet from Chi'an Town — layered sesame candy made from malt sugar and toasted white sesame seeds. The candy is pulled and folded repeatedly to create dozens of paper-thin layers, resulting in a light, crispy, and melt-in-your-mouth texture. It is less sweet than many Chinese candies, with the nutty flavor of sesame taking center stage.
