For Tibetan woman Dadron, Cantonese cuisine from Guangdong province is not only about food and ingredients, but also a path to future fortune.

"I want to start a business by opening a bakeshop after finishing Cantonese cuisine training," the 23-year-old said.

Dadron, along with 14 other trainees from Nyingchi in the Tibet autonomous region, is taking a three-month training course on making Cantonese pastries in Dongguan, Guangdong.

"I have not had any knowledge about Cantonese food. The training will lay a solid foundation for me to start my future business in my hometown," she said.

The Cantonese cuisine training is part of a pairing-off arrangement for poverty relief between Guangdong and Tibet.
