Step into the ranch’s cake shop and you are welcomed by the warm, sweet aroma of freshly baked treats. The star of the display is the Open-mouth Lion Peanut Pastry, with its golden, crispy crust and rich, nutty filling that bursts with the fragrance of roasted peanuts. Made with locally grown peanuts from Lunbei and baked to perfection, each bite delivers a satisfying crunch and deep flavor. The packaging features the image of the Open-mouth Lion, a symbol rooted in Zhao’an Hakka culture, making this more than just a snack. It is a heartfelt blessing from Lunbei that you can hold in your hand.

The Open-mouth Lion is a guardian spirit of the Zhao’an Hakka community in Lunbei. Unlike the more commonly seen stone lions, it has a square-shaped mouth, a unique feature of the Zhao’an lion dance tradition. It symbolizes protection from evil and a wish for peace and safety. Among all the lions, the green lion is especially revered as a symbol of noble status. This is why the Open-mouth Lion Peanut Pastry is not only a delicious treat, but also a meaningful cultural gift.
