Due to a mix-up, I only managed to buy the flowing noodles, but luckily, I could still purchase hand-pulled noodles on-site. The process was so much fun! The young noodle master was incredibly kind, documenting our entire noodle-pulling experience, capturing all the wonderful moments. He even helped us find the best angles for photos! When it was time for the flowing noodles, it was really enjoyable. They had three types of noodles: ultra-thin noodles, red yeast noodles, and green tea noodles. Dipping them in their soy sauce and eating them was delicious, even more so with chili! 😍 The young master even gave us kimchi to pair with it. I had so much fun on this trip! The osmanthus ice cream was also delicious! Once the noodles are made and dried, you can take them home to eat, and they are truly delicious!

An amazing experience! The owner was incredibly kind and friendly. She helped me choose a very suitable and beautiful cheongsam that perfectly fit my figure. She also lent me two Chinese fans and an antique pearl purse, allowing me to create even more looks for my photos. The owner even styled my hair with an ancient Chinese hairpin, which looked absolutely beautiful! Walking through Jiufen Old Street, A-Mei Teahouse, and Shengping Theater, I felt completely immersed! Highly recommended!
