Some netizens once had a witty remark: Chengdu people are surging with the passion of chili oil, and Qingdao people are flowing with the sweetness of Laoshan beer in their blood. However, each place has its own unique feelings. Back in the 80s of the last century, soda factories sprung up all over China, as many as thousands. The best of them, such as the Arctic Ocean in Beijing, Zheng Guanghe in Shanghai, and Shanhaiguan in Tianjin, have become symbols of regional culture.
Some of these brands stand at the top of the market, while others fade away in the torrent of history, but the memories they leave behind are eternal. For example, in the Arctic Ocean, the classic orange juice flavored soda, known as the "national soda", has stirred the taste buds of generations. And Tianjin's Shanhaiguan is even more extraordinary. When Emperor Puyi held a wedding banquet, he specially instructed that Shanhaiguan soda must be used, which shows the dignity of his status.
Now it is popular again in the market, as well as Da Yao, which originated from the Bayi Beverage Factory in the 80s of the last century. This drink has a unique taste and has become a classic in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. The traces of history and the emotions of the region are intertwined and flowing in this small bottle of soda, which makes people taste not only the taste, but also an unforgettable memory.
