Day 2: Being MaoKong-ed Part 2



When we arrived at MaoKong, my wife and I were like deers in the spotlight. We stood there not knowing where we should head towards. It was a Y shaped road that pointed us to three different directions. So which should we take. The "Follow the crowd" mentality rear its head once again.

We turned left and moved with the crowd along Zhongnan Road. Soon, we had little food stalls on our left and a food centre of sorts on our right. As its still the early parts of our MaoKong's exploration, we continued our walk. We passed by some tombstones on the hill before arriving at this very beautiful and picturistic tea house and its small tea plantation.


I'd thought the pink flowers were cherry blossoms. In reality, they were flowers from the apricot trees, displaying red, pink and white flowers. Still has lovely.


The very first tea house that we arrived at was called HongMuShi. We did not stop to have tea at this teahouse but the lady owner was quite an interesting character. She called out from the 2nd level to get customers to patronise her teahouse.

On the right was a shop that sells tea. We walked on. After two more bends on the road, we came across on the left a cafe that serves coffee and tea from a modified van. The dispensing area does not look too cool, but the view of the mountains was to die for.
