On August 25, the event "Discover the National Brand and Experience Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage – A Trip Featuring Intangible Cultural Heritage Item of Suzhou-style Mooncakes of Daoxiangcun" took media representatives to time-honored brand, Daoxiangcun. Overseas influencers from countries such as the United States, Germany, Colombia, Serbia, Republic of Korea, and Thailand, along with Mongolian, Nepali, and Arabic anchors from China Media Group (referred to as the foreign and Chinese media delegation), visited the Suzhou factory and Guanqian Street store of Daoxiangcun Group. They toured the modern production workshop of Suzhou-style mooncakes and experienced the intangible heritage craft of making these mooncakes.

At the beginning of the event, the foreign and Chinese media delegation visited Daoxiangcun's Suzhou factory. Stepping into the exhibition hall, they were instantly amazed by a stunning array of mooncakes. Varieties of mooncakes, resembling art pieces, were elegantly arranged on the stands, their golden-brown sheen and intricate designs a visual delight. On the wall, the introduction of the six generations of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) inheritors drew attention, illustrating their contribution to perpetuating this traditional craft through skill and ingenuity.

Guided by Ai Man, the sixth-generation inheritor of Daoxiangcun, the foreign and Chinese media delegation walked through the corridor and entered the Group's modern production workshop. Through the bright glass windows, they observed bustling activity and the hum of machinery. From ingredient selection to dough kneading, filling, and shaping, every step showcased the artisans' dedication and ingenuity.

Subsequently, the Chinese and foreign media delegation visited Daoxiangcun's original store location on Guanqian Street. Professor Li Feng, a Qing dynasty history expert in the country and author of A Draft History of Suzhou Daoxiangcun has made the following remarks after research, "This is perhaps the only shop in China that has maintained its location for nearly three centuries - the original site of Daoxiangcun store on Guanqian Street." This store is not only a showcase for Suzhou's traditional culture but also a hub for the inheritance of the ICH craft of making Suzhou-style mooncakes. Here, the delegation had a hands-on experience of making Daoxiangcun's signature clear water rose mooncakes.

Under the demonstration and attentive guidance of Mr. Xu Hongsheng, the fifth-generation inheritor of Daoxiangcun, the media delegation engaged in the mooncake making techniques, such as dough kneading, filling, and shaping. The entire process was crafted by hand, without the aid of any molds, allowing them to fully experience the art and ingenuity at fingertips.

Lai Yaming from Germany expressed his feelings after experiencing the mooncake-making process, "Chinese pastries, in my impression, are delicate, bite-sized treats that delight both the eyes and the palate. Tasting Daoxiangcun's pastries has confirmed and reinforced this perception. Each bite of these pastries is not just about the flavors; it's a story of tradition and craftsmanship spanning generations."
As reported, Daoxiangcun has been actively exploring innovation of incorporating traditional Chinese cultural elements into its product development. The brand is merging classic elements of national culture with traditional pastries, developing China-Chic products that cater to the consumption preferences of younger consumers. A prime example of this is the fusion of Biluochun tea, Suzhou's most influential geographical indication product, with Suzhou-style pastries to launching a trendy Suzhou-style tea treats – the Biluochun Tea Pastry. This innovative product presents the "business card" of Suzhou in a novel and appetizing manner.
