West Lake Water Shield Soup is a famous Zhejiang dish with Hangzhou flavor. It is made with water shield, a local specialty in Hangzhou, along with chicken breast, ham, clear soup, salt, MSG and chicken oil. The tasteful dish has a harmonious light color with green water shield and white shredded chicken.

Water Shield Soup not only has a delicate fragrance but also contains rich nutrition like vitamins. Moreover, the soup implies homesick and sentiment for motherland. Thus in recent years, many overseas Chinese who travel to Hangzhou prefer to order the soup to rest their sentiment upon it.
