Dining Under the Stars at Shi-Yang Teahouse (食养山房)

食养山房 is nestled amongst the mountain trails. The drive up might be a little daunting for first timers there, but it was worth every effort. The tranquility & ambience was mind blowing. This is where we would be having our dinner tonite. :)

Wu Yue Xue (五月雪）greeted us. :)

We made it in time for dinner! :)

Serious business talk...

There isn't any menu & hence every dish was a surprise. :)
