Milk Town

Zadian, Gejiu | Milk Town – I just want the milk, not the town Zadian Milk Town I've seen it pop up in my social media feeds countless times At every fork in the road, I'd hesitate whether to turn in This weekend, I deliberately made the turn Memories came flooding back This used to be the only way back to Gejiu Outside this roadside Zadian Fresh Milk Bar Where the "Milk Town" sign now stands Was once just a parking lot Back then, no matter how busy We'd always stop for iced milk + animal-shaped cakes I've always wanted to try the fermented milk with rice wine but never dared, fearing a DUI Never left without taking home a big bottle of fresh milk This time, I ordered: Ice cream + iced milk + animal-shaped cakes + milk toast slices + double-layer steamed milk The flavors remain just as delicious and rich as ever The animal cakes still have that familiar texture A bite of cake, a sip of iced milk That wonderful, nostalgic feeling Truly beyond words Absolutely magical Seeing sugar-dipped skewers again brought back so many feelings Mini meat skewers, iced milk, dipping sauce Seems like Gejiu's cuisine always involves sugar-dipped treats I adore sugar-dipped mini skewers, hahaha For this place My personal recommendation is to just Take some photos outside the fresh milk bar The manor charges ¥10 admission – it's not about the price Just that there's not much worth seeing inside Highlights: A few penned calves You can feed them hay Worth seeing if you've never encountered dairy cows Otherwise, it's like any ordinary city park Plus it feels dated and gets brutally sunny Given the chance I'd rather visit Zadian Dairy – the brand I've grown up drinking P.S.: The roadside rice noodles in Zadian are absolutely delicious too
