From Wang Chen, Fenghuang, Central China's Hunan province.

I was born in Fenghuang (Phoenix), an ancient town dominated by the Miao and Tujia ethnic people in Central China's Hunan province.

This ancient small town, according to New Zealand writer Rewi Alley, is one of the two most picturesque small towns in China.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with many poets and artists have drawing their inspiration from the natural scenery here.
