Teacher learns lessons about the countryside's 'endless potential'

She came, she saw, she liked. That would best describe Sophie Chen's trip to the ancient town of Zhongdu, a scenic spot in Liuzhou, Southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

The British teacher has been living in Liuzhou for 11 years. She loves luosifen, a local delicacy of rice noodles, and considers the city her second home.

She recently ventured into the countryside around Liuzhou to discover the local rural way of life.
