Story & history

What the name tells you about Guiyang changwang noodles

Guiyang changwang noodles take their name from two toppings: “chang” means pork intestine, while “wang” refers to pig-blood curd. The technique for making the noodles entered Guiyang’s municipal intangible cultural heritage list in 2020. The noodles can be eaten at breakfast or as an afternoon meal. For visitors, the name is a direct clue to the offal in the bowl, not a metaphor.
