In the province of Zhejiang, in Hangzhou, Dai Jianjun is passionate about preserving the ancient dietary doctrines of Chinese food knowledge - an art form he is seeking to salvage.
Dai’s project involves protecting endangered farming produce, by setting up restaurants that serve traditional cooking. It also involves the creation of a large experimental lakeside farm, set in the mountains of Suichang – Gong Geng Shu Yuan – Dai Jianjun’s earthly paradise and the rural sister-establishment of his famous restaurant in Hangzhou, Long Jing Manor.
