Spicy cabbage is another one of Grandma Huang's specialties, but she never imagined that one day her lifetime of pickling would combine with coffee.

In the village's visitor center, a cup of spicy cabbage coffee has become a new favorite among tourists.

The coffee incorporates spicy cabbage and cocoa powder, with sour, spicy, and fresh flavors blended with the rich taste of coffee, becoming a patented new product of the village.

Currently, Songhua village, a national AA-level scenic area and a characteristic village of China's ethnic groups, receives nearly 200,000 tourists annually.

Plum trees, apple trees, and crabapple trees have become the names of homestays, each courtyard with its own scenery and specialty.

The traditional Korean ethnic houses with blue tiles and white walls, wooden window lattices, and traditional heated floors are preserved in their original form.

Tourists can follow Grandma Huang to make rice cakes, pickle spicy cabbage, and watch the Korean ethnic intangible cultural heritage performance.
