#TravelChina #TravelChina2025 #Henan Review of food at my boyfriend's house in Xiangcheng 🏡✨ Hello everyone~ 🥰 Today, we will take you to taste local food in the countryside in Henan 🇨🇳 My boyfriend's hometown in Xuchang, Xiangcheng! For those who like spicy food like Thais 🍛 It may be a little shocking 😆 But let me tell you that it's both funny and eye-opening! 1. 🧂 Saltiness comes from afar The food here is so "salty" that you have to ask for rice 🍚 (which is not available...) or some dishes are so "bland" that you want to secretly bring fish sauce 🤣 But in the end, you can adjust~ ❤️ 2. 🍞 Steamed Buns vs. Steamed Rice Henanese people mainly eat Steamed Buns 🥯 We secretly miss rice a bit 555 But after trying it, hey, it's actually quite good! 😋 3. 🍜 Frequently eaten menu • 馒头 Mian Tou: Steamed bread without filling, but good to dip with rice • 粥 Zhou: Clear rice porridge… 🫥 • 烙馍 Luo Mo: Thin dough sheets, used to wrap meat like Chinese crepes • Henan-style fried dough sticks: Sprinkle with chili, chili paste, and dip in spicy soup! 🔥 Warning: Thais may be confused at first bite… but it’s fun! 😂 4. 🍲 True Love Recipe Bland Soup My boyfriend once made me wonton soup. The soup was so bland that even the fish in the water were confused. 🐟💬 “Is this water or soup?” But it was touching because every dish was made with love 💕 Even though I had to secretly think about papaya salad all the time 😅 ⸻ Summary: This time visiting my boyfriend’s house, the taste may not be familiar to my tongue 🫢 But my heart is very warm~ Eat and have fun. Adjust yourself. Then you will fall in love with Chinese local food without realizing it! 🥰🇨🇳 #ChineseFoodReview #HenanBoyfriendHouse #BoyfriendCookingForMe #HenanStyle #TravelingInChinaInThaiStyle

Nanton Ancient City is located in Zhengxing Village, Nanton Town, Xiangcheng City, Zhoukou City, Henan Province. It is commonly known as 'Ghost Repair City' and is a large historical and cultural site group. It includes sites from the Xia and Shang dynasties, the city wall site of the Dunzi State, the ancient tomb group of Hamazhai in Nanton Ancient City, the ancient tomb group of Tianyuan in Nanton Ancient City, the Guangwu Platform site, and the Guangwu Temple buildings. The scenic area consists of the ancient city wall site of the Dunzi State, the Guangwu Platform site, and the Guangwu Temple building group. In 1005 BC, during King Cheng of Zhou's eastern expedition, to intimidate the old Shang people here, he enfeoffed the descendants of the Ji surname to establish the Dunzi State. During the Spring and Autumn period, the Dunzi State moved south to this place to build a new capital called Nanton. In 496 BC, Chu destroyed Dun, and the Dun people became slaves of Chu, leaving the Dun capital to future generations. The ancient city wall of the Dunzi State currently preserves a part of the eastern section of the north city wall. According to the Tang Dynasty's 'Kuodi Zhi' and 'Taiping Huanyu Ji', Liu Qin, the father of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, served as the magistrate of Nanton County, and Liu Xiu was born in the Nanton County government office and lived here in his youth. After the 'revival of the Han dynasty', in the nineteenth year of Jianwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty (43 AD), he visited Nanton, and the people of Nanton built a platform to celebrate. Liu Xiu, remembering the old feelings of the elders, exempted Nanton from two years of land rent. The people of Nanton were grateful for generations and built a temple on Guangwu Platform to worship him. For more than two thousand years, the temple has been destroyed and rebuilt, and the incense has never ceased. In May 2013, Nanton Ancient City was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
