Brand Story
Gaoqiao Food traces its origins to Liaoning, with a history dating back to the Qing Dynasty. According to local chronicles, during the Guangxu reign (1875-1908), pastry workshops in Gaoqiao Town were already renowned for crafting traditional Beijing-style cakes. The founder, whose name awaits verification, innovatively combined imperial pastry techniques with local ingredients to create distinctive Gaoqiao pastries. By the Republican era, Gaoqiao cakes had become essential gifts for weddings and festivals, sold far beyond the region. After the founding of New China, the Gaoqiao Food Factory was established, preserving traditional methods and earning widespread affection. More than a delicacy, Gaoqiao Food embodies the regional culture of Liaoning, witnessing a century of culinary evolution.
