As summer fades, Shipai Town in Hubei Province—known as China’s tofu capital—is buzzing with activity as farmers wrap up this year’s soybean harvest. 🌾 The town’s fields, once lush with green pods, now hum with trucks delivering crops to local collection centers, where beans are sorted and prepped for tofu production.
‘Soybeans are the heart of our community,’ a local farmer told CGTN reporter Morag Hobbs, who toured a collection center. ‘This year’s yield looks strong, which means fresh batches of tofu for markets across the region!’ 🥟
Shipai’s tofu has gained fame for its silky texture, thanks to high-quality beans and traditional methods passed down for generations. With the harvest complete, factories are ramping up production, blending age-old techniques with modern efficiency. 💡
For travelers and foodies, autumn is the perfect time to visit Shipai—think tofu tastings, bustling markets, and a front-row seat to China’s agricultural heritage. 🚜✨
