About 50 meters south of the west gate of Qingyan Ancient Town (on the right hand side), there is a low, quaint street-facing shop. In front of the door is a pair of unicorns, which are very eye-catching. The sign "Bai Nian Gaoba" is very simple. This is the famous "Xie Family Centennial Cake". 10 yuan per serving of century-old cake, very affordable. The "gaoba" served is a sticky, coarse-grained dough ball in the middle of the bowl, which is the gaoba. It is soaked in "porridge" made of boiling water that is suspected to be water chestnut powder (or lotus root powder), and sprinkled with rose sugar, white sugar, fried peanut powder, fried sesame seeds and other auxiliary ingredients, which looks appetizing. The clerk said that the cake must be stirred and eaten while hot. After we stirred it, we took a bite and found it had a rich taste, delicate, crisp and mellow. The taste was fragrant and light, sweet but not greasy. It was a great dessert. [Evaluation] Made with craftsmanship and passed down for a century, in my personal opinion, "Xie Family Centennial Cake" is a must-visit place for tourists.

I came to this shop after reading the reviews. The century-old cake is their specialty. The boss is very enthusiastic and sweet. We also ordered rice tofu, which is bright in color and made of rice noodles and vegetable juice. We can't agree with the taste. It's a bit smoky and unbearable. I really don't like Guizhou's special snacks!

The century-old cake from a century-old shop. I used to think that the rose cakes in Lijiang were very fashionable, but today I learned that this cake has had the flavor of roses for a long time, because rose candy is very popular here. The base of this cake is lotus root starch paste, and the top is made of three kinds of rice cakes mixed in it, and sesame seeds, peanut powder and various bean powders are also added. It has a sweet taste with the scent of roses, which is pretty good.

Many well-known restaurants in Qingyan Ancient Town are located on the Nanbei Ming and Qing Ancient Streets, which are crowded with tourists. However, this small shop named "Xiejia Centennial Cake" is very low-key and hidden on Ximingqing Street near the west gate of Qingyan, but it has a lot of reputation. When we were eating, tourists kept coming here, but the shop owner was busy in the kitchen, as if he didn't worry about business at all. This shop only sells two kinds of food, one is rice tofu, which is sour and spicy; the other is the famous cake porridge. It is similar to jelly, with a piece of white cake in the middle. When eating, it is mashed and stirred, and the rose fragrance is immediately fragrant. The taste is sweet but not greasy, it is worth a try.

In Qingyan Ancient Town, I searched for Xie's century-old cakes for a long time. Although there are cakes and porridge everywhere, this one is the best. You just need to look around carefully. If you find it, you will think it is worth it.
