Journey Through Shaoyang: A Culinary and Cultural Stopover

Introduction

Heading from Yongzhou to Guiyang, we stopped for lunch in Shaoyang. We found a lively hawker stall amidst advertising and street name signs, where we enjoyed food, finger food, comfort food, and ingredients and cheese served on worn tableware and serveware. We observed the town's life, from an abandoned building to passing cars with automotive wheel systems, a traffic sign, and even a sleeping Felidae. Before leaving, we bought red produce and ingredients from a market, adding a vibrant touch to the brick wall and architecture. Fed and refreshed, we continued our journey to Guiyang.
