Learning ancient tofu making

After hiking in the mountain we arrived back into the small village at it's base. There were some small farms and houses making various types of traditional foods. This house was making tofu skins and soya milk drinks. Watching the process was very interesting and they gave us some hot sweet tofu drink which was very nice and a needed refreshment after hiking in the mountain. You can buy packs of dried tofu skins in the small shop at a very cheap price. Super cool to see that these villagers are still living a very traditional life in this small rural community here. I would highly recommend visiting. #passionpassport

Incredible hike up Bazhai Mountain, Shaoguan

This hike was one of the most visually stunning but also physically exhausting hikes I have ever been on. From the car park the mountain seems very far away. We hiked through a small village and up over the hills through patches of peaceful forest for 2-3 hours, a lot of which is stairs going uphill. Finally we reached the bottom of the incredible mountain The stairs and paths lead up the side of the mountain, with an amazing view of the nearby "teapot mountain". At this point the stairs become very tricky to navigate and at one point there is a near vertical section with chains to hold on to. Luckily there Is an easier way to go which is slightly less dangerous. When you finally reach the top the view is nothing short of spectacular. Definitely something you must experience if you come to Shaoguan. Be warned it is an intense hike and you will need a lot of food and rest after it. #mountainview #viewontop #staycation
