went for m'sia trip to ipoh on 25th and 26th with mum n dad. Quite a relaxing trip n in this trip, i noe how charcoal come about. Its some high quality charcoal. It uses the tree trunk from 红树林。(direct translation will be red forest? i not too sure the exactly name. If anyone knows plaease tell me and share the knowledge. Thanks!)

Lets learn from pictures:
This is the 'pot' for all those tree trunks. this is the 'cooking' process..
it takes about 2 weeks to complete 'cooking'

Must constantly add rubber tree trunks for burning the red forest trunks.
(The person in the pics is the boss)
This is the fresh tree trunks.
(Boss says:For every tree trunks we cut, we have to plant one more back. And each tree takes 30 years to grow before it can be cut down.) WOW!
Oops, saw this cute millipede near the river bank.
Why is there a river bank here?
Ans: to transport tree trunks to the 'pot'. Wait til its high tide n see. (Too bad for me?)
Yup, fresh tree trunks. 30 years old skinny trunks.
Close the 'pot' let it cool down for 10 days before starting to 'cook' again
Ah ma packing charcoal
Befre the pot closes, men get in the hot hot pot to caryy each individual trunk outta pot
(Boss says: I pay them to take out the trunks as well as free sauna..) haha.. how humourous!
Why is it called 红树林? cuz it is really red when they're young. look at all those young leaves..
Fungus grown on tree trunks. Look like ling zhi right? =)
here also.. the cannot eat de white fungus.
tallest tree in the forest
This is wat happen to the burnt charcoal. 75% sells to japan. wow! the more perfect, the higher the price. so dun anyhow crush the charcoal..
Thats all for the lessons.. =)
