"This store was founded by my grandfather in 1970 and has a history of 55 years. Since then, we have been using traditional techniques with the most traditional rice vinegar, salt and sugar to preserve fruits. We retain the fresh flavor of the year-round fruits as much as possible, so that people can eat summer fruits in winter."

Suanye, a snack of pickled fruits and vegetables from China's Guangxi, is famous for its unique sweet, sour, spicy and salty flavor.

Guangxi's abundant natural mountain and water resources have nurtured more than 200 varieties of tropical fruits.
