Recently, Alex Robison, a well-known British writer and geographer, wrapped up his ten-day trip in Hunan. Speaking about his journey through Hunan at his final stop in Liuyang, he praised, "I have seen so many wonderful things in Hunan. It's hard to say that one is better than the other. The mountains in Zhangjiajie would probably be the most spectacular thing. But the beautiful temples I've seen as well, the fabulous food I've eaten, I mean so much has been good. The whole of the province has been wonderful."?

近日,，英國知名地理作家亞歷克斯?羅賓遜（Alex Robinson）完成了為期十天的湖南采風(fēng)行程。在最后一站瀏陽,，提及本次湖湘之旅,，他表示：“張家界的山峰應(yīng)該是最驚艷我的。但不論是美麗的古建筑,，又或是湖南美食,，其實(shí)都很棒。湖南的一切都很令人贊嘆,?！?/span>

Alex spoke highly of Hunan cuisine. When talking about signature dishes like mandarin fish and Chairman Mao's braised pork, his eyes sparkled with excitement. "These delicacies are absolutely exquisite—I've completely fallen in love with Hunan flavors," he said. Addressing the iconic spiciness of Hunan dishes, he chuckled lightly: "Out of ten, I would say four to five. I don't think the food here is very spicy." Alex showed great adaptability in tasting spicy Hunan cuisine, using chopsticks with ease and savoring each bite composedly. "Hunan cuisine is very tasty," he sincerely exclaimed.?

亞歷克斯對(duì)湖南美食贊不絕口。提及鱖魚,、毛氏紅燒肉等特色菜肴時(shí),，他的眼中閃爍著興奮：“這些佳肴味道堪稱一絕，讓我深深愛上了湖南的口味,?！闭劶跋娌藰?biāo)志性的辣味，他輕松一笑：“若以十分為限,，我覺得辣度不過四到五分,，對(duì)我而言毫無壓力?！泵鎸?duì)以“辣”聞名的湘菜,，他展現(xiàn)出極強(qiáng)的適應(yīng)力，筷子運(yùn)用自如,，品嘗時(shí)從容不迫,。“不過,，湘菜的美味絕對(duì)不容小覷,。”他由衷地贊嘆道,。

While in Liuyang, Alex visited Chen Jiwu's Chrysanthemum Stone Gallery. The unique geological formations have been transformed into an array of exquisite chrysanthemum stone artworks through Chen's masterful carving skills. Alex marveled at the craftsmanship. "There are two artists in this gallery—one is Chen Jiwu, who carves the chrysanthemum stones, and the other is nature, which created them." When night fell, he attended the 3rd Hunan-Jiangxi Artistic Fireworks Invitational Competition. When the sky lit up with dazzling pyrotechnics, he was deeply moved by the spectacle. "I can't say which of these fireworks displays is better because they are all breathtaking."?

在瀏陽,，亞歷克斯參觀了陳繼武菊花石公館,。奇特的地質(zhì)產(chǎn)物加上陳繼武精湛的雕刻技巧，各色精美的菊花石雕讓他感嘆：“這個(gè)公館里有兩個(gè)藝術(shù)家,，一個(gè)是雕刻菊花石的陳繼武,，一個(gè)是孕育菊花石的大自然?！币鼓唤蹬R后,，他觀賞了第三屆湘贛藝術(shù)焰火邀請(qǐng)賽。當(dāng)漫天煙花照亮夜空,，他被這壯觀的一幕深深打動(dòng)了：“這幾場(chǎng)煙花我說不上哪一場(chǎng)更好,，因?yàn)樗鼈兌己苷鸷橙诵摹,！?/p>

"The most memorable part during my trip to Hunan has definitely been the people. The people have been wonderful," said Alex, adding that "I have been so well received and so well treated. It's been a really good experience being here."

“湖南給我最深刻的印象,，還是熱情的人們?！北粏柤昂现械淖钌罡惺軙r(shí),，亞歷克斯如此回答?！拔乙恢笔艿胶芎玫恼写?，在這里的經(jīng)歷讓我覺得湖南非常棒?！?/p>

Upon returning to the UK, Alex plans to create travel articles tailored to international tourists' preferences, drawing on tourism resources from Changsha, Zhangjiajie, and Yueyang, as well as his photographic works, to promote Hunan to the world.

在返回英國后,，他將會(huì)結(jié)合湖南長(zhǎng)沙、張家界,、岳陽三地旅游資源和自己的攝影作品,，創(chuàng)作符合境外游客偏好的旅游文章，為全世界“種草”湖南,。
