For hundreds of years, people in Wudang Mountains have eaten this kind of frozen tofu during holidays.

The production of Wudang Mountain frozen tofu requires two natural conditions: one is a temperature of minus 20°C, and the other is the water of Wudang Mountain Tofu Valley. The latter is the key. Without the expertise of Tofu Gou, this kind of frozen tofu would not be made under the same conditions of other temperatures and processes.
