Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, accompanied President Donald Trump on his recent trip to China and took the opportunity to explore local street food in Beijing.
On May 15, videos and photos surfaced on Chinese social media platforms, including Weibo, showing Huang interacting with residents in the historic hutong area of Nanluoguxiang. Despite the sweltering heat, with temperatures nearing 30 degrees Celsius, he donned his signature black leather jacket while sampling traditional fermented soybean drink, Douzhi (豆汁). He also visited the renowned Beijing restaurant, Fangzhuang 69, known for its authentic zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste), and purchased a peach drink from the budget beverage brand, Mishi Bingcheng, priced at 8 yuan (approximately $1.20).
Local media reported that the drink is being heavily promoted by Mishi Bingcheng under the slogan "Pick of the Big Shots," leading to high sales.
Huang has consistently made headlines for his interactions with locals during his visits to China. This year alone, he has traveled to China more than four times, previously dining on hot pot in a restaurant in Shenzhen and taking photos with staff, as well as visiting a traditional market in Shanghai to enjoy street food.
Meanwhile, on the same day, Eric Trump, the son of President Donald Trump, and his wife Lara gained attention online for a commemorative photo taken at the Great Wall of China. After completing their itinerary in China, Lara shared a photo on her social media, expressing, "It was an honor to share such an unforgettable trip together."
