Ma Wei Shui Polygonatum Chicken

Ma Wei Shui Polygonatum Chicken

　　The Ma Wei Shui Primeval Forest is located on the northern slope of Mount Lu, at an altitude of about 500–800 meters, covering an area of approximately 10,000 mu. Most of the area lies at the bottom of a V-shaped valley, surrounded by towering peaks, with majestic mountain ridges, deep canyons, serene forests and springs, lush and densely tangled trees, and a forest coverage rate of 98%. The natural vegetation is well-preserved, with diverse plant species. The annual rainfall reaches 1,800 mm, the air is humid, and the highest annual temperature is 30°C. The dish is made by stewing wild polygonatum from the area with free-range local hens, then seasoning with salt before serving. It is served steaming hot, fragrant and appetizing, with a light yellow broth that delicately wraps around the fresh flavors—refreshing, delicious, and delightful to the palate. Polygonatum, belonging to the Liliaceae family, is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows wild under the forest on mountain slopes. In traditional Chinese medicine, its rhizome is used as an herb. It is neutral in nature and sweet in flavor, known for replenishing qi and nourishing the lungs, and is used to treat conditions such as weak spleen and stomach, lung deficiency cough, and diabetes. Ma Wei Shui Polygonatum Chicken is not only a delicious dish but also a premium tonic.
