While strolling through Anchang Ancient Town, we were suddenly captivated by an incredibly rich, savory aroma—leading us straight to the century-old Renchang Soy Sauce Garden,famously featured on CCTV's A Bite of China!
Stepping into the courtyard, we saw photographers gathered around a master craftsman documenting the traditional process of covering the soy sauce vats—a fascinating sight. The most breathtaking scene was the nearly 2,000 large fermentation vats neatly arranged under the sunlight, filling the air with an intoxicating, umami-rich fragrance that seemed to carry the essence of time itself.
As a filming location for A Bite of China,this place preserves the ancient brewing techniques in their purest form. We explored exhibits of traditional tools and the garden’s history, and even witnessed various soy-based products still fermenting in the vats. Don’t miss trying their viral soy sauce ice cream,the perfect balance of sweet and savory makes for an unforgettable treat! This immersive cultural experience is truly the most authentic way to discover Anchang.
