The mountainous region of Anhui is stunningly beautiful and Adam can see why its ethereal landscapes have inspired poets, artists and photographers for thousands of years. Many in China refer to Anhui as a “big agricultural province”, a euphemistic term implying the region is backward, but that doesn’t preclude it from being the source of one of the eight great regional cuisines of China. Known for its use of wild game and herbs and simple methods of preparation, Adam expects a stark comparison with the elaborate cuisine he has just experienced in Beijing - and he's certainly going to get it here.
