    Gekui (戈奎) seasoning sauce is famous for its Hani cuisine, and media have previously interviewed and filmed special episodes on Hani delicacies. Their dishes are known for their unique methods and diverse varieties. For instance, just one type of Hani dipping sauce can contain more than 30 ingredients. Gekui dipping sauce is among the richest in variety and most delicious in the entire county, known for its authenticity and highly complex preparation. Apart from salt, Sichuan peppercorns, chili, and monosodium glutamate, it includes ingredients like shallots, garlic, and Hani black beans. Additionally, a cooked egg is placed in the dipping sauce, making Gekui dipping sauce an outstanding delicacy that has been featured in special reports by CCTV.

    Another renowned dipping sauce in the region is made from konjac, which Gekui people take great pride in. It is always served alongside dipping sauce and is renowned for its translucent appearance due to meticulous preparation. When chewed, it becomes increasingly crunchy and flavorful. Alongside the konjac, another specialty dish of Gekui is pickled vegetables. Besides the dipping sauce and konjac, Gekui farmhouse pickles are also highly cherished. These pickles come in various types and are loved for their rich diversity, including pickled fish, meat, and bees. The people of Gekui along the Bainah River have maintained the tradition of making and preserving pickles for generations. These pickles are prepared uniquely, capable of preserving any edible delicacy found in the mountains and seas. Whenever friends and family visit, pickled vegetables are an essential dish served to guests.
