Da Hong Men
Time-Honored BrandDa Hong Men · Beijing · Founded
A time-honored Beijing food brand renowned for its traditional braised meats and cooked delicacies, preserving the authentic flavors of Beijing cuisine.
Brand Story
Da Hong Men traces its origins to Beijing, with a history dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties when it supplied royal courts. During the Yongle reign (1403-1424), workshops in Beijing specialized in making braised meats for the palace, which later became available to the public. In the Qianlong era (1736-1795), the Da Hong Men area, near the Nanyuan Royal Hunting Ground, became a meat trading hub. Local artisans combined imperial recipes with folk techniques to develop a unique braising craft. In the early 20th century, several cooked meat shops named 'Da Hong Men' appeared near Qianmen, famous for their braised pork hocks and beef, beloved by locals. After the public-private partnership in 1956, these shops merged into the Beijing Da Hong Men Meat and Food Factory, continuing traditional methods. Today, Da Hong Men stands as a symbol of Beijing's culinary heritage, carrying the taste memories of Beijingers and upholding the quality commitment of a time-honored brand.
