The city's renowned steamed delicacies, tasty seafood and stewed soup take tourists to new frontiers of flavor.

There is also a food belt along the Xiangjiang River, where tourists can savor local food while taking in the beautiful scenery.

The city government is also promoting cultural development.

The city is home to popular variety shows, such as the Happy Camp, which has been one of the top entertainment programs for 16 years.

The local culture department will also invite various famous artists from China and abroad this year to perform opera, ballet, symphony, Peking opera and acrobatics.

A weekend music and fireworks festival at Juzi Island has become a famous celebration nationwide.

Other events, such as the first natural ecology expo and the Sakura celebration, are a special treat for tourists.

Moreover, the city's foot massage service is something that tourists should not miss out on.

Chinese traditional medicine practitioners recommend soaking feet in hot water, which is a hit with local people.
