After years of wanderlust, CGTN reporter Lucy finally checked off her dream destination this week: Fenghuang Ancient Town in Hunan Province! 🌟 Nestled along the Tuojiang River, this 400-year-old "Phoenix Town" dazzles visitors with its Ming-era architecture, cobblestone alleys, and iconic wooden stilt houses reflected in tranquil waters.
🍜 But Lucy’s adventure wasn’t just about postcard views! She dove into local food culture, sampling youdengcao (oil lantern cakes) and the eyebrow-raising "bee pupa stir-fry" – a crispy delicacy made with honeybee larvae. "It’s like nature’s protein bar," she joked during her livestream.
📸 From sunrise boat rides to glowing night markets, Fenghuang offers time-capsule charm with modern traveler perks. Pro tip: Visit in November for autumn foliage without the summer crowds!
