Herbs - The Herbal Sprites Living in the Deep Mountains of Yunnan

In Changning, which is about more than an hour's drive away from my home, there’re several forest bases dedicated to growing herbs. I took the car that went down from the base to shop for groceries to the top of the mountain. In the mountains in June, it started to rain, and I shivered with cold. The dendrobiums that live on the pine trees produce flowers of various colors. In the field, there’re paris and polygonatum that have grown for six or seven years, and also the incredible glossy ganoderma that looks like a fake. I picked some of them. Since herbs and food are of the same source, people in rural areas often stew soup or make wine with herbs. I'm not sure if they're actually medicinal, but we eat some all year round!
