LIU YANG YUAN ZI

**Liuyang 2 Days, 1 Night: The Ultimate Romance of Fireworks and Steamed Dishes** > When the 160-meter "Fireworks Tower" lit up the night sky, and the aroma of steamed dishes filled the old streets, this small town offered me so many surprises! --- ### 🌟 **Day 1: A Visual Feast Beneath the Fireworks Tower** In the evening, I headed straight to the **Sky Theater**, which coincided with the opening of the 17th Liuyang Fireworks Culture Festival. The **160-meter-tall **Fireworks Tower** transformed into the "Tree of Life" and "Light of Technology" in the night sky, with golden sparks pouring down like a waterfall. Then, the "Heart of the Earth" spread a galaxy between heaven and earth, and the "Umbrella Rain and Smoke Bridge" shed glazed raindrops. The audience gasped in delight, mingling with the crackle of fireworks—in that moment, I understood what "a moment is eternity" means. After the show, I ventured into **Liuyang Courtyard** in **Luojiaba Alley. The steamed food restaurant, renovated from an old factory building, exuded a lively atmosphere with bamboo tables and chairs and Liling porcelain bowls. I ordered a dish of steamed bacon with fermented black beans. The aroma of tea seed oil blended with the savory flavor of the bacon, paired with a bowl of sweet steamed eggs, instantly soothed my late-night stomach. The owner enthusiastically recommended the firecrackers and jellyfish fireworks, calling them the "emotional antidotes" for Liuyang residents. --- ### 🏞️ **Day 2: Ancient Town and Fireworks DIY** In the morning, I headed to **Dawei Mountain**. Although the peach trees were past their bloom in April, the rolling green hills remained as radiant as ever. On the way, I visited **Baisha Ancient Town**. While sipping rustic coffee in a century-old house and watching an elderly woman weaving bamboo baskets on her doorstep, time seemed to slow down. In the afternoon, at the **Fireworks Intangible Cultural Heritage Labor and Practice Education Base**, I personally mixed the gunpowder, shaped it, and filled it, creating a unique "Gatling Firework." The instructor reminded me, "Fireworks, like life, require patience to achieve their perfect bloom." When we ignited them by the river in the evening, and the colorful lights shot up into the night sky, the sense of accomplishment far surpassed ordinary viewing. --- ### 🍲 **Taste Buds Highlight: The World of Liuyang Steamed Dishes** In Liuyang, steamed dishes are an unavoidable staple. **"He Dad's Steamed Dishes**'s chopped pepper fish head is spicy and tender, but locals recommend **Steamed Dried Tofu with Red Beans**—simple ingredients, tempered with tea seed oil and steam, surprisingly go so well with rice. Walking through the **Liuyang River Scenic Area**, I stumbled upon a riverside stall selling **Mugwort Baba**. Its glutinous aroma, laced with herbal freshness, makes it a perfect afternoon snack when paired with a pot of chrysanthemum tea. --- ### 💡 **Practical Tips from My Trial** - **Transportation**: Changsha High-Speed ​​Rail takes 30 minutes to Liuyang. We recommend renting an electric bike within the city (50 RMB/day). - **Fireworks Show**: Sky Theater has a regular fireworks show every Saturday night. Reservations must be made in advance through the "Fireworks Cloud" mini-program. - **Accommodation**: The cluster of homestays in Baisha Ancient Town is worth a try (we recommend "Waishan Secret Realm," where you can see the mountains from the window). - **Hidden Gems**: Buy firecrackers at the "Fireworks Hut" to relieve stress and create romance with jellyfish fireworks. --- **As I left the city, I looked back. The Liuyang River, shrouded in morning mist, was a poetic silence. ** This small town transforms gunpowder into art, and uses steam to preserve its fragrance. It lives a vibrant life through the collision of tradition and avant-garde. If you're tired of the same old travel, come to Liuyang—let the fireworks illuminate the night sky, let the steamed dishes warm your stomach, and make every moment here memorable. #Places most asked about on WeChat Moments #Where to go this weekend #Romantic travel spots in China #Local food #Couple travel

⭕️⭕️The layout is like the style of the 1980s and 1990s. The dining tables are assembled from small desks. Although it is a bit noisy, the taste can kill most Hunan restaurants in seconds! ! 🉑🉑The stir-fried yellow beef is so delicious... sour and spicy, the beef is super tasty! The celery is also very crisp. Scoop a spoonful of pepper beef and celery rice. It is so fragrant, it is a great tool for rice! 🔴🔴A whole portion of steamed pork belly and spareribs! Almost all of them are spareribs. The black bean pepper is really the characteristic of Changsha. I think it is better than some radishes and winter melons! Even the green vegetables here are super delicious and go well with rice! Rural crispy bamboo shoots, steamed eggplant with green peppers, and stir-fried sweet beans with pickled cabbage, none of them are not recommended! ⚠️⚠️Only about 30+ per person, collect it quickly. #美食旬味会 #地方只能吃的美食 #长沙旅游攻略 #长沙美食
