Exhibition in Baotou promotes intangible cultural heritage

The local delicacy chatang is seen at an activity highlighting intangible cultural heritage held at Arden Plaza in Baotou, North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region, March 1. Chatang is usually sold on the street and was developed during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), before being introduced to Baotou from Beijing and Tianjin in North China. Though named chatang, literally “tea soup”, there is neither any tea nor any soup in this dish. It is seasonal flour mush, made from sorghum and millet flour. [Photo/Baotou Daily]
