[Henan, China] Getting stuffed on the Luoyang Shui Xi (Water Feast)
Calling this a feast fit for a king is an understatement. The Water Feast (Shui Xi), a banquet of pride for Luoyang, consists of an astounding 24 dishes, hence I’m not surprised that it is known for being the ‘Top Banquet under the Heaven’.
