Have you ever tasted snow? ☃️ In the beautiful city of Dali, there’s a special treat called “Yizhangxue,” which means “a palmful of snow”!
Even though it doesn’t snow much in Dali, this sweet snack is made by pouring red sugar syrup over pressed snow from the majestic Cangshan Mountain. Imagine holding a handful of snowy goodness drizzled with delicious syrup! 🍧
Every spring, a girl named A Yue and her grandmother set out to share this tasty treat. As they walk past the stunning Cangshan Mountain, the sparkling Erhai Lake, and through the ancient streets of Dali, Grandma tells wonderful stories about “Yizhangxue” and the history of Dali.
She speaks in the gentle Bai dialect, sharing legends and memories that make each bite of “a palmful of snow” even sweeter. It’s like enjoying a snack and a story all at once! 📖❤️
This special treat brings together tasty flavors and tales from the past, making “Yizhangxue” a delicious way to celebrate Dali’s rich culture and history.
