Every city has its own taste that remains you of your childhood and accompany your growing up.
Now, let me tell you something about the special taste of Shanhaiguan --- the sodas
The Shanhaiguan Great Wall soda: produced in Shanhaiguan
The Shanhaiguan soda: produced in Tianjin
Many people are still familiar with the Great Wall soda, which is produced by Shanhaiguan Food Factory that was built in 1912 and rebuilt on July 17, 2013.
In the 1990s, the most popular beverage in Shanhaiguan was the Great Wall soda, which is a household brand. “You can ask any one who grew up in Shanhaiguan that what soda accompanied his childhood and the only answer you will get is: the Great Wall soda.”
Although the Shanhaiguan soda, which is no more than two or three yuan a bottle, seems to be insignificant, once you understand the history of the wedding banquet of Puyi(the last emperor of Qing Dynasty), you will be impressed by this “common” Shanhaiguan soda.
Even today in the History Museum of the ancient city of Shanhaiguan., there is a bottle of soda produced in Shanhaiguan and originated in Tianjin in the 1990s, which is well preserved and sealed with wax.
