Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, accompanied President Donald Trump on his recent trip to China, where he explored the streets of Beijing and sampled local street food.
On May 15, videos and photos shared on Chinese social media platforms, including Weibo, showed Huang interacting with residents in the traditional hutong area of Nanluoguxiang. Despite the sweltering heat, with temperatures nearing 30 degrees Celsius, he donned his signature black leather jacket. Huang tasted the traditional fermented soybean drink douzhi (豆汁) and visited the Michelin-rated restaurant Fangzhuang 69, famous for its Beijing-style zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste). He also purchased a peach drink from the budget beverage brand Mishibingcheng for 8 yuan (about $1.20).
Local media reported that the drink is being heavily promoted by Mishibingcheng under the slogan "Pick of the Big Shots," leading to high sales.
Huang has made headlines during his visits to China for his interactions with locals. This year alone, he has visited the country more than four times. Earlier this year, he enjoyed hot pot at a restaurant in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, where he took photos with staff, and he also visited a traditional market in Shanghai to sample street food.
Meanwhile, on the same day, Eric Trump, the son of President Donald Trump, and his wife Lara shared a memorable photo taken at the Great Wall of China. After completing their itinerary in China, Lara posted on her social media, expressing, "It was an honor to share such an unforgettable trip with my husband."
