Xiangxi, an ancient and natural city in Hunan, China. The land of Xiangxi is a natural textbook.
Here, the atmosphere is always filled with nature and classicism. People live off the mountains and the water, always having their own beautiful way of life and path to happiness. They believe in the laws of nature and are convinced that 'a life dominated by material things is pitiful.'
We have always known Xiangxi through the writings of Shen Congwen, seeing the Xiangxi embellished by the writer's pen.
~ Vast golden orange groves, the little boat that Cui Cui and her grandfather take to cross the river, the bamboo baskets carried by people on the streets, the cloth dyers, and the colorful clothing and ingenious silver ornaments of the Miao people. Everything is lively and vibrant at the tip of the pen, making one long for and fantasize about Xiangxi ~
