Longtou Mountain Water Tofu Pudding

Longtou Mountain Water Tofu Pudding

　　    Longtou Mountain is located north of the Temple of the South China Sea in Huangpu District. The area is surrounded by mountains and water, with Zhangshan and Guanyinshan to the northeast, Shishiling to the northwest, and Feilongling, Kengweigang, Baikonggang, and Yuandinggang to the south. The Baigu Stream meanders through here, and during late spring, mountain flowers bloom brilliantly, grass grows lush, and birds sing cheerfully. Whether viewed up close or from afar, the spring mountains seem to smile, and the scenic beauty of the mountains and waters is truly uplifting. It's as the saying goes, “Melodious warblers sing over the branching stream; rugged rocks reveal the dragon’s head.”

　　    On the mountain, there is a clear mountain spring that flows day and night, running beneath the ancient temple of Longtou Mountain through a channel. The water tofu pudding of Longtou Mountain is made using this spring water. Because the spring absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, and the spirit of the sun and moon, the resulting water tofu pudding has an especially delicate and fragrant taste—far superior to that of similar puddings found elsewhere.
