Namaste
The iconic red lantern reflections in the Tuojiang River are most beautiful at dusk when the stilted houses (ๅ่ๆฅผ) light up. Cross the Hongqiao bridge at night and walk downstream along the south bank โ you'll find the quieter riverside away from souvenir stalls. The old town walls at Dongmen Gate are free to climb and give the best view of the jumbled roofscape.
Bargain at markets. The local train is the city's lifeblood โ rush hour is not for the faint-hearted.
๐จ๐ณ Fenghuang Fun Fact
Fenghuang means 'phoenix' in Chinese and the town is shaped like a phoenix in flight when viewed from above. It was the birthplace of Shen Congwen (1902โ1988), widely considered the greatest Chinese prose writer of the 20th century and a five-time Nobel Prize nominee. The town's Tujia and Miao ethnic minorities maintain living traditions of hand-woven batik fabric and silver jewellery.
๐ฎ๐ณ Mumbai Fun Fact
Mumbai's Dharavi is one of the most productive slums in the world, generating over $1 billion annually.
