Huang Renxun also sampled the "dark cuisine" — Beijing’s famous douzhi! On May 15, following U.S. President Trump’s visit to China, NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun appeared in Beijing’s Nanchuolang Alley wearing his signature leather jacket. He ate zhajiangmian (fried sauce noodles), bought a drink from the Chinese chain beverage brand Mixue Bingcheng, and was even fed the notoriously controversial Beijing douzhi by passersby. Footage from the scene shows Huang Renxun did not enter the zhajiangmian shop to sit down but instead stood at the entrance holding a large bowl, mixing and eating on the spot. He repeatedly praised in Chinese, “Delicious!” while interacting with onlookers, asking, “Have you tried this before?”
Aside from douzhi, Huang Renxun was also photographed purchasing drinks at a Mixue Bingcheng store in China. As for the taste of traditional Beijing douzhi, his facial expression said it all. In fact, this isn’t Huang Renxun’s first time exploring street food culture in China. The tech magnate, worth billions, has consistently shown a passion for immersing himself in local life during each of his visits to China, sampling authentic regional flavors. In January 2026, upon arriving in Shanghai, Huang Renxun headed straight to the Jinde Market in Lujiazui immediately after concluding official business.
Dressed casually, he paused at a fruit stall, personally selecting and tasting pomelos right there, praising them enthusiastically. He also visited “Haohao Lìwáng” within the market, buying sugared chestnuts and candied haws, enjoying them leisurely while walking—truly a relaxed and satisfying experience. Similarly, during his January visit to Beijing, Huang Renxun appeared at Wangfujing Zhonghuan, dining at “Banshan Yao” (Half Mountain Yunnan Cuisine). He ordered small-pot rice noodles, Shiping baojiang tofu, stir-fried sweet peas, and specifically requested a pot of pu’er tea—his meal choices were truly authentic and well-executed.
When it comes to American tech titans, Huang Renxun and Elon Musk seem especially connected to China. Huang Renxun stands out for being down-to-earth, relishing good food and knowing how to enjoy it. Meanwhile, Musk displays a different kind of carefree charm. This time, Musk’s young son, dressed in a fresh new Chinese-style outfit, turned heads with his strong Guochao (national trend) aesthetic—adorable yet elegant. His 360-degree photo shoot in front of the Great Hall of the People, as well as his relaxed, effortless demeanor while enjoying a state banquet, left a deep impression on everyone present. These two American tech moguls certainly made a memorable impact with their distinct behaviors.
