“Gu Dao Cooking Lady” is next to Fenchi Hu train station. Walking into the restaurant is like going into the kitchen of a mountain family. The Tian Ma Ma, Sumo CHEN, is a native of Mei Shan and she was born in a farming family. After marriage, she moved to Ali Mountain area and started growing teas and bamboo shoots. Serendipitously, Father WAN of the church down the mountain hill invited her to run the church restaurant. She got inspired in the cooking field and continued the work for 20-some years and it won her the fame of cooking lady.
