Xinyi 信宜大圍村

The air is so fresh, everything is so natural and the place is just 山青水秀. It has mountain fogs every morning and you feel very good when waking up. We found a baby owl in the trunk of my fther's black olive tree 黑榄树. Of course we put it back afterward.
Most things we ate were grown or picked from the surrounding; rice, vegetables, gingers, peanuts, bamboo shoots, wood ears, walking chicken and honey from bees etc. They use bamboo leaves and long grass threads to make zongzi. Also tofu and soy milk are home made. Talking about ecological living, there is no such thing called garbage here.
It is hard to get in there because of a 3 km rocky dirt off-road from the main road. You pay $10 RMB to ride on a motorcycle and walk a little bit. If it rains, the car or motorcycle will get stuck in the mud. Then you cannot get in or out. The first picture below shows the car needed to be pushed at half way and the view of my cousin's house. The second picture shows the 70+ lady working in the field everyday when we passed this place.
