HU XING TANG HONG CUN DOU GAN WEN HUA GUAN

Under the tallest and oldest tree in Hongcun is a gathering place for tourists. Every tourist group will start their free activities here, so this place is the gathering place of various shops in Hongcun. Among them, this shop has the largest sign. It is said that this shop was first opened before the reign of Emperor Daoguang, and has a history of 200 years. At first, I thought it was a pastry shop, but I didn’t expect that there was stinky mandarin fish. The packaging is very thoughtful and the design is very cute. It is quite suitable as a souvenir. For example, Huangshan sesame cakes, in addition to packaged ones, there are also baked ones on site. There are also many shops selling Huangshan sesame cakes in the town, which are cheaper, but it feels more reassuring to see it here.

Huxingtang (Hongcun Store) is located near the west gate of Hongcun Scenic Area, Hongcun Town, Yi County, Anhui Province, next to the big banyan tree. Because I needed to go to the bathroom at that time, the tour guide told me to go to this store. I went in and saw that it was a cake shop with a full range of cakes. Later, I bought some original flavor sesame cakes.

"Xiao Shijie" Domestic Tour 📍 Anhui. Huangshan I rarely bought local specialties when traveling before, but this time I drove around the country, I didn't need to carry them around, and I didn't worry about occupying the luggage allowance, so I bought a lot. But in fact, there is another problem when buying local specialties in China, that is, Taobao has them all, and sometimes they are cheaper online😂 This time I bought a lot of things in the store, which are basically the same. The official flagship store has them all, but the promotional Laba dried tofu I bought is quite cheap, and the taste is very special. I plan to buy it online again after I come back. In addition, if you buy a certain amount in the store, you can also get it delivered for free.

Huxingtang is the first choice for buying Hongcun specialty products in Anhui Hongcun Scenic Area. Most of the products here are freshly made, the price is very reasonable, and the packaging is also very delicate. You can buy some specialties in Huxingtang to give to relatives and friends. The more recommended ones are Huangshan sesame cakes and Hui-style sesame cakes. Huangshan sesame cakes are filled with pickled mustard greens. I like them very much. They are small and good to eat 1 or 2. Hui-style cakes have sweet and salty tastes. Most people buy sweet ones. They smell very fragrant and taste sweet but not greasy.

I had a terrible experience buying pastries at Huxingtang (the one next to the big tree) in Hongcun Scenic Area. On the morning of July 20th, the female cashier, a woman wearing glasses, was extremely rude. The incident: I bought pastries and asked the cashier for a few extra bags, but the staff member gave me a dirty look. First, I asked if I could have a few more bags, but instead of clearly stating any rule against it, she just gave me a dirty look and rolled her eyes. After dragging her feet, she produced several bags but only gave me one, leaving another on the counter in front of me. I assumed it was for me too, but when I went to get it, she snatched it away, rolling her eyes and asking where I was from. The entire experience was extremely poor service. 1. I bought five boxes of pastries, but only received one bag. Four of the boxes were gifts, so getting a gift bag was a legitimate request. 2. If the store has a clear rule against giving extra bags, the staff could explain the rule or give me another reason why, and I would understand. Instead, they responded with a dirty look and a physical attack. 1. Is this how you train staff in a store this big? Asking me where I'm from is an attempt at regional discrimination, isn't it? And afterwards, you even had a little notebook to record it. What, is it illegal for me to ask for a gift bag within reasonable limits? 2. Has this staff member received any job training? Where did they learn to treat customers with disrespect and roll their eyes? If it's from a company, I suggest they go back and retrain. If it's from home, I suggest they control their ugly behavior and not embarrass their family at thirty years old. 3. Please respect every customer. If staff can't learn respect, it makes us question whether the store will respect customers when it comes to its products.
