Extended information:

Lipu taro is known as the "King of Taros" and is famous for its abundance in Lipu. According to folklore, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a long drought in Lipu with no rain and no harvest. The farmers had no food to satisfy their hunger and had to pay taxes, so there were many complaints. After hearing the news, a taro fairy came in the clouds and mist and sowed taro seeds at the foot of the Guandi Temple in the county seat. This year there was a good harvest of taro, and the people used taro as food to survive the famine years. Since then, Lipu taro has become a local specialty and the preferred tribute in Guangxi.
