Shanxian Mutton soup is not just a local delicacy — it's an intangible cultural heritage. It dates back to the year 1807, giving it a history of more than two hundred years. It's the only soup ever included in the "Collection of Famous Chinese Dishes,"and it's honored as the "Number One Soup of China." There are many folk legends about it. It's said that when Confucius traveled through the states, he passed by Shanxian and tasted the Mutton soup here. From the breed at the source, to the cooking process, tasting this bowl of soup with our own lips, and finally learning about its history and culture — I can honestly say Shanxian Mutton soup truly lives up to its name. If you ever come to Shanxian County in Shandong, be sure to try the Shanxian Mutton soup.
