    Respect to this amateur food vlogger who had tried his best to food tour. Chengdu and Guangzhou have a similar vibe, which is the local would pay more attention to focus on their own lives and amazing food. Maybe that is the reason you name both of them on the top list of your favourite Chinese cities. Let's see what to expect more for this running man in the next video.

    Lingzhi, Ganoderma lingzhi, also known as reishi, is a polypore fungus belonging to the genus Ganoderma. Its reddish brown varnished kidney-shaped cap with bands and peripherally inserted stem gives it a distinct fan-like appearance. When fresh, the lingzhi is soft, cork-like, and flat

It’s really interesting, you will find human body has connection with the Universe, disease is affected by thoughts and emotions,everything in the Universe has Yin & Yang aspects including our body, our health conditions affected by the time of the day and season.
