I’ve been riding my bike since 4 in the morning

Actually, I have no idea what we’re going to find

Visiting the rural side of China is always a great experience

You can go to little villages where few travellers ever go

And see sights and discover new foods and cultures

This trip involved a 12 hour intense ride to Butuo

A little farmers village in South Sichuan

Endless little villages and fields and mountains

It was one of the most beautiful rides and towns I’ve been to

You can get a true feel for rural life in China

The local morning market was packed with vendors

But I couldn’t find anything to eat on the spot

So I went to the first little place that looked good for breakfast

And then explored around for more food in the afternoon

So we’re going to have a classic morning breakfast here in China

So we’re going to start of with a fresh steamy steamy baozi

There is going to be fresh pork in there and veg

It tastes like really juicy slightly salty pork

All over the breakfast joints like this place

And you can just dip it right into the zhou

This one really doesn’t have much flavour

So what’s nice is you can wash it all down with this steaming hot soybean milk

After breakfast I went out for a little ride deep into the countryside

The beautiful scenery really made it a great experience

Seeing children as young as 7 or 8 working in the fields on the schooldays

It really made me realize how hard life in the fields can be

And how we take for granted how much work goes into growing food

I made my way back to the village in search of lunch

But the cooking process couldn’t begin without first taking some pictures together

We have a plate full of local fresh potatoes here

I have no idea how we’re going to eat all of that

And then over here I really don’t know what this is

First thing I’m going to try is the tuotuo rou

This is what everyone says you have to try
