    • Name of Shop: Cai Zhi Zhai

    The shop Cai Zhi Zhai was established in 1870, during the reign of Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty. It specializes in producing Suzhou foodstuff eg. sweets, cakes, preserved foods etc. The philosophy of the shop is the old ancient Chinese belief of eating healthy (ie. consuming food with medical benefits).

    What To Buy: We bought "Bei Mu Gong Tang" - a kind of sweetened cough drops made with medicinal herbs. My friends had bought a packet of these sweets for me, and it was really quite good for soothing sore throats and coughing. Each packet has 12 individually wrapped sweets inside. It is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi had also taken these sweets, and recovered from a persistent cough she was suffering from.

    What To Pay: 2 RMB for a packet
