Datong abounds with Chinese yam that can be used to make glass noodles. Every summer, glass noodle stands can be found in almost every market. But Hunyuan glass noodles are different , as they are not only offered in summer, but are also popular in cold weather.

Hunyuan glass noodles are available all year round and have a unique flavor. They are soaked in water until being served. Once ordered, they will be taken out of the water and cut into thin strips with a special knife, and then mixed with salt, soy sauce, chili oil, vinegar, sesame oil, monosodium glutamate, mustard and chopped green onions to make it rich in taste. It will be even more delicious if it is mixed with cucumber, radish, parsley and bean curd strips.

Most visitors will come to Hunyuan glass noodles after visiting the Hanging Monastery. Now, Hunyuan glass noodles have opened a business in Datong.
