Yang Ching-ju, a digital creator originally from Taiwan's Taichung City, is serving up piping-hot xiaomian noodles and cultural understanding through her viral Chongqing vlogs. The 28-year-old moved to southwest China in 2024 to explore her grandfather's roots, and has since built both a successful food business and a 500,000-strong online community.
📸 Her daily posts blend sizzling wok shots with personal stories about navigating life across the Taiwan Strait. "When I taste Chongqing's spicy flavors," Yang says in a recent video, "I'm reminded how our family recipes traveled from here to Taichung three generations ago."
💼 Beyond the kitchen, Yang mentors young entrepreneurs through cross-strait business networks. Her latest project? A matchmaking platform connecting Taiwanese tech startups with manufacturing partners in the Chinese mainland.
🌶️ Followers praise her authentic approach: "She makes Chongqing feel like home," commented one Taiwan-based viewer, while a mainland subscriber wrote: "We share more midnight snack cravings than differences."
