There are not only crafts shown in the TV drama, but also some local food featuring intangible cultural heritage items wetting the audiences' appetite.
Flower cake is no doubt the most symbolic specialty of Yunnan province. It is a kind of traditional cake with a history of more than 300 years. Even the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) emperor Qianlong was a big fan of the cake.
The warm climate in Yunnan province provides superior conditions for growing flowers, so the most special part of the cake is the flower stuffing.
A handful of rose petals are wrapped in the round cake with a golden surface, which tastes crisp, and after taking one bite, the fragrance of rose pervades, leaving endless aftertastes.
