Recognized as an intangible cultural heritage item, Baisha Tofu has gained a longstanding reputation for its craftsmanship and flavor. When you visit Baisha town, you should try the delicious cuisine.

Li Xueyang, the inheritor of Baisha Tofu said that the special allure of Baisha Tofu lies in its distinctive ingredients and techniques.
The natural environment of Dawei Mountain, free from pollution, contributes to the cultivation of superior soybeans. These soybeans are then soaked in the spring water of Dawei Mountain over 1,500 meters above sea level at a ratio of 1:10. In the pulp grinding process, the centrifugal speed and temperature should be strictly controlled to protect the fiber tissue of tofu from being destroyed. After undergoing 11 processes, such as filtering, boiling, pressing and slicing, the resulting Baisha Tofu exhibits a delicate and tender texture, living up to its well-deserved reputation as a culinary gem of Liuyang.

Baisha Tofu can be fried or boiled for a salty or sweet flavor.. Regardless of the cooking method, the authentic taste of Baisha Tofu remains unchanged. It evokes a sense of hometown nostalgia.
Today, Baisha Tofu has become a leading industry in the town. Upholding the virtues of excellence, Baisha people continue to innovate and incorporate their nostalgia into the production of Baisha Tofu, which is now sold well throughout the country.
