One of the specialties of Qinghai Province, China, is its medicinal caterpillar fungus. This stuff is in high demand, so be prepared to pay for your caterpillar fungus. In Golmud, I bought one single caterpillar (plus fungus) for 20 RMB (about 3 US dollars).
The high spenders among us may way to buy a whole box.
Choices to chose from.
A single caterpillar. Note the fungus growing out (strangely) from the head.
Once you've purchased your caterpillar(s), kindly deposit in a bottle of Chinese vodka. Then allow to saturate for up to one year before drinking. When ready to drink, take a nip each day for best effect.
Qinghai province is not just famous for its caterpillar fungus - there is also some tasty yak jerky, available at any supermarket.
