Guoba Huoshao
郭八火烧店
A traditional flatbread from Daming County, dating back to the Guangxu era of the Qing dynasty. Its many thin layers are crisp outside and chewy inside, and it has been featured on CCTV's Three Meals Four Seasons.
Guoba Huoshao was created in 1895 by Guo Zhizhong, a native of Daming County. Each flatbread has 25 to 30 thin layers, crisp on the outside and chewy inside, and it is a traditional specialty of Daming in Handan. CCTV's Three Meals Four Seasons featured this food, and one review says the shop was a filming location for the show. The storefront is about 100 meters south of the intersection of Wangling Road and Shuguang Street. A travel writer recommends the braised pork flatbread. The shop is small, serves quick and affordable food, and gets crowded at mealtimes, so you can try other snacks nearby on Shuguang Street. Average spending is about RMB 13 per person, and no reservation is needed. Operating hours differ across platforms, so check before you go.
