Here are some pictures of my trip to Karen’s hometown, Gong’An, Hubei Province, China. It’s a relatively small county with about 1 million residents.
As the indoor heating system of all housing not in the North of China is not great, they have this nifty little electric gadgets to keep your feet warm.
Our hotel room with western style toilet and a mahjong table. Room 8888!!! (8 is a sign of fortune in China)
Typical playing with fireworks during Chinese New Year:
Chinese pedicurist are hardcore when repairing nails! Those are not my feet btw.
Me playing mahjong with the neighborhood’s most feared player, Karen’s grandma!
Typical meal on the left with 2 different hotpot and various other dishes. On the right, the Gong’An pizza which is cooked inside hot barrels (the pinkish thing is a pita getting cooked). Probably wouldn’t pass hygiene safety protocols but still good tasting nevertheless.
In-house meat and fish storing methods:

Scenes from Gong’An downtown:
