I went hiking along the Renjiaxi trail last Saturday. It’s the second time I’ve hiked on this trail.
If you’ve been there in this season, you’ll know why I like it so much. Maybe this video I posted will give you a clue.
Not just because of the views, but also the delicious waxberries and the friendly locals.
On my way down the mountain, I ran into a local. He placed his full baskets of waxberries on the roadside and said to me, “Don’t be shy, help yourself as much as you like.” He was not trying to sell his waxberries. He told me that all the waxberries on his farm were for winemaking, not for selling as fruits.
He wasn’t the only local who offered me waxberries that day. The main crop in the village below the mountain is waxberries. If you strike up a conversation with the locals as you walk along, before you know it, you’ll be stuffed full.
The locals are professional. Every waxberry they gave me was perfectly ripe, sweeter than the ones I picked myself.
