At the heart of Chinese culinary tradition stands zongzi - sticky rice dumplings, which are popular every year, especially during the Dragon Boat Festival. However, in the town of Hele in the south-eastern province of Hainan, an exceptional variant is being created: Hele zongzi, a true gastronomic speciality with deep roots.
This delicacy is characterised by soft, supple texture and rich flavourwhich is achieved thanks to the precise choice of ingredients. The ingredients used here include black pork from Hele, salted duck egg yolk a sticky rice grown along the Taiyang River - raw materials that guarantee high quality and a unique taste profile.
Hey, zongzis aren't just food - they're a symbol of holiday joy, family traditions and cultural memory. On festivals or important occasions, locals always reach for this delicacy that connects the past with the present - with love, care and fragrance.
Who visits Wanning during the Dragon Boat Festival, Hele zongzi must not be missed - it is the taste that tells the story.
