Most visitors climb Huangshan and miss its food entirely — yet Hui (Anhui) cuisine is one of China's eight great culinary traditions. This hands-on class fixes that: shop a local Huizhou market for mountain ingredients, then cook 3-4 Hui classics in a traditional kitchen — the famous “stinky” mandarin fish (chou guiyu), mao tofu and a braised local dish — guided by a home cook, before sitting down to eat it all. Everything is beginner-friendly and relaxed, with your English-speaking host leading each step, so no skill is needed. A delicious, sociable and culture-rich alternative to another mountain day, perfect for food lovers, couples and families, with recipes to take home.
