The railway was first proposed by Sun Yat-sen in 1903, but construction was not started until 2003 due to the difficulties of the project.According to the chief engineer, Zhang Mei, the line was the most difficult ever constructed in China.

The scenery of western Hubei is top-notch

It is too cold outside in Wuhan that I'd rather stay at home and make rice balls by myself.
It is a tradition to eat glutinous rice balls named after this festival, Yuanxiao/Tangyuan(元宵/汤圆）
Yuanxiao made by Andrew

How about today's lunch? Fried rice with egg and veggie, cooked by Andrew

Tangyuan (food) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't think it's easy to find these rice ingredients, mostly in a Chinatown.
And these sweet sticky glutinous balls(You can describe this texture in Chinese by an English letter, Q) are served as breakfast or desserts.
Some similar smaller one can be added in sweets like,

no 汤圆 for me today...

Why not go to a Guangdong-style dessert shop?

 

[Yizhi]

Why not go to a Guangdong-style dessert shop?
