The making of Dali Beer!

I continue to be amazed at how the Chinese have come to do certain things. You've read about the Christmas lights. Well, we took a trip around Erhai Hu (Lake) and came across all this barley thrown across the roads. The cars just go right over them and we were wondering what the heck? After asking our tour guide, he said that is how they separate the barley from the stalks! Amazing! And this particular barley was going to be made into Dali Beer (Watch out for a future blog on Dali Beer of which I've had my fill). Who would have thought about free labour (cars, horse carriages, us...) to do this. It was so interesting to see.
