Guilin's Three Treasures are the city's most famous local specialties — Guilin Sanhua wine, Guilin spicy bean curd, and Guilin fermented bean curd. They make perfect souvenirs of a visit to the river city.
Sanhua wine is Guilin's famous rice wine — clear, fragrant, and with a distinctive sweetness. Named for its triple distillation, it's the classic drink of the region and a beloved gift.
This is a spicy fermented tofu product, sold as small cubes or in jars — piquant, savory, and addictive. It's a versatile condiment and snack.
A milder fermented tofu, softer and creamier, used in cooking and served as a side dish. Along with the spicy version, it's one of the city's defining flavors.
The Three Treasures are sold throughout Guilin — in the markets, specialty shops, and along Zhengyang Street. Many shops offer gift packaging for travelers.
The wines pair with local dishes, while the bean curds are eaten as snacks, with congee, or used in cooking. Ask in any restaurant for the local way to enjoy them.
All three make excellent, easy-to-transport souvenirs of Guilin. Purchase sealed, packaged versions for easy travel.
