About
Chinese American couple Grace and Yongjian returned to China to visit Grace's ancestral hometown in Fujian – and the incredible modernization completely surprised her in the best way. That trip inspired them to travel deeper across cities, the countryside, and explore culinary traditions, uncovering hidden gems along the way. They even share a must-visit spot where you can eat dishes from a different ethnic group at every meal for an entire week.
In this My China Story special, Grace and Yongjian share what it is like to see modern China through the lens of family heritage and fresh discovery.
