Foodwise: Shaoguan

Tianran and Hannah are in the picturesque city of Shaoguan in Guangdong Province, South China. They try tea grown on Danxia landforms and feast on mountain produce, before getting hands-on with making rice noodles in a Hakka walled village. They learn about the Hakka people’s southward migration and the effect it had on local tea and food, and end their journey in a thousand-year-old Buddhist temple, seeing how the monks integrate their practice into everyday life, and discovering just why tea is so important to Zen.
