Dongpo Meets the Immortals

Dongpo Meets the Immortals

　　　　Among the ten most famous mountains in China, Huizhou has one called Luofu Mountain. After being demoted to Huizhou, Su Dongpo felt melancholy. One day, gazing at the shimmering waters and surrounding peaks of West Lake, he suddenly had an epiphany — that people should live a life of simplicity, elegance, freedom, and ease between heaven and earth. He often enjoyed exchanging ideas with the Taoist priests of Luofu Mountain on health preservation and culinary arts, and even created this seafood soup, made primarily with shark fin, shrimp, and crab. He frequently shared it with the Taoists, and named it “Dongpo Meets the Immortals.”
