"the milk capital city of china"

hohhot was named as the "中国乳都" (the milk capital city of china) a few years ago and i can verify that the name matches the reality. unlike the milk in other places, the mongolian milk has a rich and pure taste, and in hohhot, each meal was ended with ice creams instead of pastries as my dessert. perhaps i should suggest another name for hohhot - the baijiu capital city of china. in the dinner table of a mongolian family i visited, there are three bowls, one for mutton fry cabbage, one for rice and the largest bowl is for baijiu. and i even find the local people drink beer in their breakfast!
