HOHHOT, Sept. 4, 2019 (Xinhua) -- Fu Yanmei, who lives in Enhe Township where China's Russian ethnic group gathers, has made Russian bread for nearly 20 years. "My mother-in-law is from Russia. I started to make Russian bread after I got married", said Fu.
With the development of the tourism industry in this small town in N China, Fu's business is growing bigger. Visitors come to try making Russian bread, and Fu hopes to take the opportunity to pass on the traditional skills.
