Chinese Herb Market

We went by taxi a bit far from the center to see the Chinese medicine herb market. It's a traditional market where peasants and wholesalers sell bags and bags and boxes and boxes of interesting herbs, medicines and medicinal foods.

There were lot of strange things. The most common things we have recognized were Ginseng, Goji Berries, licorice and some kind of mushrooms.

The funny guy owner of the shop told us the benefit of each herb and gave us a special wine made with undefined herbs and mushrooms. It was really strong and tasted quite bad but he told us that it hadn't collateral effects.

We bought some Goji Berries for 50 RMB (250g). Cheap price and good quality.

It was a really interesting experience for us.Read more
