Guilin Sugar Cane Juice

Guilin Sugar Cane Juice is a "thirst-quenching nectar" in summer, pressed from locally grown green sugar cane, sweet, juicy, with a taste of sunshine. To make it, sugar cane is peeled, cut into sections, and pressed in a special machine to extract juice, served directly without any additives. Fresh sugar cane juice is pale green, with a rich natural sweetness—high but not cloying, leaving the throat moist, perfect for hot weather. Guilin's sugar cane ripens in autumn and winter, making the juice sweetest, and street stalls are most common then. Vendors stack cane bundles by stalls, selling freshly pressed juice—one cup instantly relieves heat. It's not only delicious but also rich in vitamins and minerals, a natural energy drink. When visiting Guilin's attractions, buying a cup of iced sugar cane juice to drink while walking is a local summer tradition. Foreigners will be impressed by the pure sweetness, finding it like "liquid natural sugar water"—a refreshing drink made from simple ingredients by Guilin people.
