Brand Story
Bingquan traces its roots to Wuzhou, Guangxi, with a history dating back to the Qing Dynasty. According to local records, the Bingquan spring in the east of the city was known for its clear, sweet water that never ran dry. Locals had long used this spring water to make tofu pudding. In the 1930s, the Liang brothers, merchants from Wuzhou, combined traditional techniques with modern technology to create instant soybean milk crystals, naming them 'Bingquan' to signify purity. After 1956, the brand became part of the Wuzhou Food Factory. Following reform and opening-up, Bingquan flourished, exporting products worldwide. Made from premium soybeans, the crystals retain the rich flavor and nutrition of fresh soy milk, becoming a cherished memory for generations. The craft was listed as Guangxi intangible cultural heritage, showcasing the wisdom of Lingnan food culture.
