Faming Mountain Zisheng Township Spring Bamboo Shoots – A Local Delicacy Loved by Ningbo Residents
Ningbo's Faming Mountain, Zisheng Township, located in Zhangshui Town, Haixi District, takes at least 2 hours to drive from the city center. The environment on the mountain is very good, not only a negative ion accumulation area, but also known as 'Cherry Blossom Town'. More importantly, there is a unique feature: every April, villagers dry bamboo shoots in their homes, producing dried bamboo shoots and bamboo shoot floss, forming a unique local landscape.
Coincidentally, when we went, we saw villagers digging fresh bamboo shoots in the mountain's bamboo groves. Each time they would dig a full bag. Now, let me lead you to experience the whole process, from digging bamboo shoots to drying them into dried bamboo shoots!

Yellow Mud Pressed Bamboo Shoots
Why are they called 'Yellow Mud Pressed' Bamboo Shoots? Because the bamboo shoots are deeply buried in the fertile yellow soil, and the tips are not yet emerged, they press the soil into small packages, which means good quality.
