Lucy, CGTN's intrepid reporter, recently made it to her bucket-list travel spot: Fenghuang Ancient Town in Hunan Province on the Chinese mainland! 🎉
Also called Phoenix Ancient Town, Fenghuang sits along the Tuojiang River, a Yangtze tributary. Think winding riverside alleys, wooden stilt houses, and vibrant local markets that look like they popped out of a movie set! 🏞️🎥
Beyond the epic scenery and classic architecture, Lucy found some serious foodie surprises. One stand-out snack? A dish made with honeybee larvae – yep, you read that right! 🐝🍴 It’s a local specialty believed to be super rich in protein and oh-so-crunchy.
From sunset boat rides under ancient pavilions to sipping handmade rice wine at cozy tea houses, Lucy soaked in every moment. The town’s timeless vibe is perfect for slow wanderers and snap-ready photographers alike. 📸✨
Whether you're planning a future getaway or just love vicarious travel vibes, Fenghuang Ancient Town should be on your radar. Pack your sense of adventure and get ready for hidden gems around every corner! 🌍💫
