In southwest China's Guizhou Province, every flavor tells a story. CGTN reporter Idah Waringa travels to Pingtang County to try Panzi rice noodles, a local specialty packed with bold spices and rural charm. It's the kind of dish that captures the spirit of everyday life – simple, authentic and deeply rooted in place.

It's the same hometown spirit seen in My People, My Homeland – where simple stories reflect deep connections to place. From reel to real, this bowl of noodles offers a taste of the homeland – where every bite connects to a bigger story.
