Anshun is a home of golden rosa roxburghii. This golden wild fruit is sweet-sour and nutritious, often made into juice, dried fruit and preserves — easy to carry and a popular gift.
Among traditional sweets, bobo candy is made with glutinous rice, sesame and more, crisp and sweet — a traditional confection of the area. In ethnic crafts, Buyi batik stands out in blue and white, with cloth, scarves and clothing to choose from, while embroidery and silverware make fine keepsakes. Check dates and shelf life for food, and mind transport and freshness for liquids and fresh items.
