Living in the west it can be hard to find a good true Vegan restaurant, but living in a small Mountain Village on the border of Hong Kong the spiritual Village where Christians, Buddhist, and Taoist all live together. This is a true Vegan delight with almost 70% of the restaurants serving Vegan dishes.

As you walk down a side road next to a mountain stream you will see a small little area playing Buddhist music, as you get closer the vibration pulls towards this small restaurant. If you did not hear the music you just might walk right past and never get to taste the wonderful dishes that are served here daily.

Their old sign sit in the corner, it had to be replaced with a modern one that reflects new pricing and design.

Here you will see the old with new, everyone here in this small mountain village pays by a cashless system called wechat and the payment is boldly displayed as you enter the restaurant. Upon entering you will sit at traditional style Chinese dinner table, and for a mear 40RMB or $5.85usd you can have a Vegan Delight of all the dishes you can eat.

Before sitting down you will see Buddhist design flowing throughout this small little restaurant.

Upon sitting down the first thing to get served is your eating utensils with a pot of hot Chinese tea.
