In the People's Republic of China, sweet Yankan (pronounced as yánggēng in Chinese, written with the same Chinese characters as yokan), which contain adzuki beans and chestnuts just like Japanese yokan, are made and sold in Tianjin and Beijing.
また、中華人民共和国でも、天津市や北京市で日本のものと同じような、小豆や栗を使った甘い「羊羹ヤンカンyánggēng」が製造販売されている。
