Culture
The county-level city of Mianzhu has its own distinct style of New Year pictures, known as the Mianzhu New Year picture.
Cuisine
Fruit Juice Beef: As a local specialty of Xiaoquan, its taste is absolutely superb: the outer skin is crispy and fragrant, while the inside is tender and melts in your mouth.
Lianshan Twice-Cooked Pork: Its preparation is extremely meticulous. First, the pork is boiled until it is 80% cooked, then it is taken out and cut into long, rolled slices with alternating layers of fat and lean meat. Each slice is 30-40 centimeters long, which is visually impressive.
