Definition
风土人情 is a set phrase that refers to the natural environment (风土) and social customs (人情) of a place — the full cultural character of a region. 风情 (fēng qíng) can also mean local customs, but it often carries a sense of romantic or exotic charm, and in some contexts can refer to flirtatious appeal (e.g., 风情万种). Use 风土人情 for a neutral, comprehensive description of a place's culture and lifestyle.
