During Qingming Festival, people go on spring outings in search of seasonal flavors. For the She ethnic group in Fujian, a bowl of black rice is a must-eat during the festival. Fresh Vaccinium bracteatum leaves are ground in a stone mortar, and the purple juice obtained is used to soak the glutinous rice. The rice is then slowly steamed over a wood fire. The cooked rice is soft and chewy in texture with a black shine, offering a perfect combination of tastes—fresh herbs and sweet grains. This is a gift from nature and a traditional delicacy of the She people.

Come to a She village to experience the folk traditions. Sinopec offers thoughtful services to ensure a safe journey for all.
