Bamboo shoots are abundant in or around Hongcun, so I often see them There are villagers who dry fresh bamboo shoots in various ways for storage or making other foods. There is also a local custom of killing pigs after the winter solstice and drying hams in spring. From time to time you would see ham hanging on the wall, glowing in the sun.

The most famous thing in Hongcun is probably the Huizhou hairy tofu that has been on the tip of the tongue in China. Everyone who comes here will come here to try it.

What is particularly refreshing are the various pickles made by local villagers, which are especially appetizing when paired with the crispy Hongcun sesame cakes.

Another place I visited A Bite of China is Laojie Restaurant, where I tried the local specialties, scrambled eggs with five-chicken peel, and Huangshan Double Stone. I probably ate too many snacks to not feel hungry, so I think the taste of the food is average. And the roasted duck leg felt delicious.

Just sweet and delicious. I bought it twice, and wanted to take some with me when I left, but I was in a hurry About accommodation

Hongcun is not big and there are many B&Bs, so I don’t think the location of residence is important because it is small and the accommodation is It is convenient to go shopping anywhere, and the structure of B&Bs is generally similar. There is a concentration of B&Bs on the edge of Nanhu Lake.
