Chinese people prefer to taste teas rather than just drink them. Savoring tea is not only a way to discern good tea from mediocre tea, but it also allows people to enjoy the drinking of the tea itself. From ancient times, tea cultivation, processing, serving and tasting have all been considered very difficult abilities to master. Now, these talents are collectively known as the tea ceremony. Many people don't know how normal tea is made, not to mention the traditional manual tea. There are over 10,000 hectares of mountain tea estates in Baima(White Horse) Mountain of Wulong. Today I will tell you about the whole operation from tea picking to tea processing. ·Tea Picking The earliest time to pick tea is around the Qingming Festival (Tomb-Sweeping Day) in early April. This is known as “the first ... read more

On the third day in Chongqing, we set off for one of the key scenic areas in Wulong: Furong Cave, a world Natural Heritage Site known for its unique karst geological landscape in southern China.   One thing to remember, however, is that the Three Natural Bridges and Furong Cave are in opposite directions, so we had to prepare for at least a two-day trip in Wulong.   The tour guide said that it was a God-given sunny day. We didn't know how lucky we were because it was our first time there. The guide told us that on previous trips the sky was totally gray and the distant woods were completely invisible.   I was shocked by the scenery as soon as I walked in. The height and depth of the cave was much larger ... read more

The ancient town of Xituo is located in Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County of Chongqing. It is the starting point of the Ancient Bayan Road. As early as the Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty, the area began flourishing as a water and land trading point. The long human history of the area has left a wealth of culture here. In ancient times, transportation along the Bayan Road was treacherous and inconvenient. Coolies (contract laborers) played an important role in economic and trade exchanges throughout the southwest region. Salt originating from Wanzhou, Yunyang, among other areas all arrived over water to the shores of Xitou. Here, coolies would carry hundred-pound bags of the salt from Xiyan Xiayandian wearing uncomfortable straw shoes and worn out linen shirts. They embarked on long journeys, routinely trekking across hundreds of kilometers ... read more

When I traveled to Big Hole River it was just the beginning of summer. The Pyracanth was in full bloom sending out strong clouds of its fragrance into the air. The mountains were covered in red with a backdrop of green. Beneath the mountain lies Big Hole River, a deep crevice that looks prehistoric in stature. I have been here many times before but realized I have never truly been present.   She is mysterious. I can feel the majesty of the mountains and the tranquility of the river. Next to the river is Muyang Gorge. There are a few families that live here in front of the gorge. The location has become an attraction for people who want a retreat away from the wilderness. Big Hole is glorious. The light from the top of mountain on the gorge brings rays of sunlight and warmth to the ground below. She is prosperous. Big Hole is the birthplace of the Shiliang River. The river ... read more

In the southwest of China, women devote themselves to fattening pigs after every autumn harvest. Every day they bring back the potatoes and artichokes from the fields. They wash and dry the pig food, chop it into pieces, cook it in a pot, and pour a large scoop of cornmeal into the pot to mix evenly. Then they pour the food into the pig trough. At the end of November, people will slaughter the fattened pigs and prepare for the pork feast. Before each household slaughters the pigs, neighbors will discuss when they’ll do it in case other families are planning it on the same day. After the time is agreed upon, the butcher will be called and the invitations to the pork feast will be officially sent out. Many households even hold a family meeting to list the names of friends and acquaintances for the feast, and then they’ll call to invite them. The butchers are the most respected and busi... read more

Rivers have run through the Bayu area since ancient times, so road transportation is rarely an option. Most people choose the water to get around. In some rushing and narrow waterways, boats needed someone to pull them in order for them to move. These rough conditions created a job as the boat tracker. Impression of Wulong performs on the Fairy Mountain. As audiences are entering the theater, they pass through a tunnel that shows the history of boat trackers and views of Wulong. After the machine boats and ships took over around 1960s, boat trackers were gone forever. In these pictures, the men were nude. Jack pulled my sleeve and asked me, “Their penises are dangling! Why didn’t they wear anything?” During the performance, an old boat tracker answered the question. He said, “First, you can’t ... read more
