Fenghuang the ancient city 😉 Nice places to take a rest & do the activities. Wake up early in the morning to see the sunrise you can capture a very nice photo in this timing. Back to take breakfast and reading some book for recommendation booking the hotel beside the river then you can enjoy the chilling moments. Lately in the afternoon take a sightseeing with historical places. Take a local dinner and continue the nightlife time 😊 #fenghuang #ancientcity #hunan #china #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
