Hunan is one of the largest provinces in China, famous for being the birthplace of Mao Zedong. Visiting the Hunan Museum, the Tongguan Yao Ancient town and the Huitang hot springs region of the country. Chinese food and local culture are explored.
The exploration continues at the Hunan Museum, where I encounter the fascinating exhibit of a 2000-year-old mummy, a relic of the Han dynasty that reveals the province’s deep historical roots. A visit to Tungwan Yao, an ancient town, offers a glimpse into the past, with traditional pottery demonstrations and cultural performances that evoke the grandeur of the Ming dynasty.
The rain does not deter my exploration, as I enjoy a captivating IMAX experience that transports me through the skies of Hunan. The journey culminates in the Huitang hot springs region, where relaxation and rejuvenation are paired with the breathtaking scenery of the surrounding mountains. My visit to Shoushan, the birthplace of Mao, adds a personal connection to the historical narrative. I engage in local traditions and savor street food flavors, further enriching my understanding of Hunan’s culture.
