As with many of the more famous mountains in China, Wutaishan has little in the way of really good dining.
As with many of the more famous mountains in China, Wutaishan has little in the way of really good dining. Food is normally either very expensive or not of good quality, despite the profusion of restaurants that you will find in the area. Food that could interest can be found however, and particular specialties of the area include the Blotted Cake (Babing) and Guokui Cake (Yuanping guokui), both of which are good for the energy that you will need to scale the mountain.
The Blotted Cake (Babing) is so named because of the numerous little depressions that cover the surface of it. The cake is made in a fairly ordinary style, first by mixing the flour with eggs, sugar and oil. The blotted effect on the surface is achieved in the final process, when the mixture is added to a pan that is covered in a layer of exiguous sand and then baked. The finished specialty is golden in colour and crispy in taste.
The Guokui Cake (Yuanping guokui), like the Blotted Cake (Babing), is another famous regional cake specialty. This cake is even more simple than the blotted varieties, and comes in many different sizes, although they are almost always around one inch thick. This is favoured by the locals for mountain climbing.
