Rizhaohong Yuanyang Hu Dessert Shop trades inside Huimin Wharf Food City on Shuijie (Water Street) in Xingning District, a dessert stall that has run for more than two decades in Nanning's historic old-town snack quarter. Its signature dish, yuanyang hu, is a bowl split between a black sesame paste and a peanut paste, poured side by side and swirled together spoon by spoon as it is eaten, a presentation locals treat as a small piece of theatre alongside the dessert itself. The shop also sells the pastes separately and a sweet mung bean soup as a lighter, cooler option. Seating is minimal, typically a counter or a few shared stools within the food city, and drinks are limited to the desserts themselves rather than a separate beverage list. Reservations are not applicable; the shop operates as a walk-up counter within a food hall.
