Time-Honored BrandJia San · Shaanxi · Founded
Jia San Guan Tang Bao, a renowned snack from Xi'an's Muslim Quarter, is celebrated for its thin wrappers, rich broth, and savory fillings. As a candidate for China Time-Honored Brand, it embodies the fusion of Central Plains and Northwest culinary traditions.
Brand Story
Jia San Guan Tang Bao originated in Xi'an, founded by Jia Zhiliang (known as Jia San) in the 1980s. During the reform and opening-up era, Xi'an's food culture revived. Jia San innovated upon traditional halal baozi by incorporating techniques from Henan's soup dumplings and blending Northwest flavors. His dumplings feature paper-thin wrappers, tender fillings, and savory broth, best enjoyed with a special vinegar dip. They quickly became a signature of the Muslim Quarter, boosting local snack industry. Culturally, they reflect Xi'an's diverse culinary heritage and Hui culinary wisdom, now a must-try for visitors and a testament to post-reform entrepreneurship.
