Cavour Travel Guide 2026: Top Attractions, Things to do & Itinerary | Trip.com | July, 2026

The street vendors had just set up their stoves, and the sizzling sound of frying sugar-coated rice cakes mingled with the aroma of glutinous rice, a soft and chewy treat with a caramelized scent that always evoked childhood memories. The vendor flattened the kneaded glutinous rice dough and tossed it into the boiling oil, where a golden-brown crispy crust quickly formed. Steam rose as it was lifted out, and each bite revealed a crispy exterior and a soft interior, with sweet syrup dripping down the corners of the mouth. Someone handed over a tissue to wipe it away, smiling and saying that this was the taste of home. Next to it, a clay pot simmered with mung bean soup, pale green bean skins floating on the surface. Someone added rock sugar and stirred it; a sip revealed a sweet taste with a subtle bean aroma, perfectly balancing the greasiness of the rice cakes. Beside the cashier, a bamboo basket held freshly steamed mugwort rice cakes, their emerald green exterior carrying a fresh herbal fragrance. Inside, red bean paste filled the cakes, their soft and chewy texture making it hard to resist eating a couple more. This casual way of eating by the roadside, without fancy tableware, brings the most genuine joy. It turns out that the true deliciousness of travel isn't in the dining environment, but in the feeling of being immersed in the local atmosphere. It allows you to feel the pulse of life in the steaming aroma, and even the breeze carries the scent of happiness. #NewYearDestinations2026 #travel2026
