When Tradition Meets Lunar Legend 
Beijing’s iconic Seventy-two Seasonal Pastry just dropped a mooncake that’s straight out of a imperial feast! With the Mid-Autumn Festival around the corner, the historic bakery—once serving Qing Dynasty royalty—has crafted a dragon-themed mooncake, blending myth, flavor, and centuries-old culinary art.
Founded in the imperial kitchens over 300 years ago, the brand now reinvents classics for modern foodies. The dragon design, symbolizing power and luck in Chinese culture, is etched into golden pastry layers filled with lotus paste and salted egg yolk—a sweet-salty combo that’s gone viral on social media.
From Palace to Present Day 
Once exclusive to emperors, these pastries now tempt tourists and locals alike. 'It’s like biting into history,' said one customer. The bakery’s fusion of tradition and Instagram-worthy aesthetics has made it a hotspot for culture enthusiasts and dessert lovers chasing the next big thing.
Psst… Travelers, add this to your Beijing bucket list!
