When I walked into Shen Congwen’s “border city”, I saw more than just Cuicui’s love

✨️How is the climate ·💗 The ancient town of Chadong is located in the subtropical monsoon climate zone, with four distinct seasons, warm and humid in summer and cold in winter. The best time to travel is in spring and autumn when the climate is pleasant and the scenery of the ancient town appears even more charming in the sunshine and breeze. 🌟Culture, are you curious? The ancient town of Chadong is not just an ordinary ancient town, it is also the intersection of cultures from Xiangxi, southeastern Chongqing and northeastern Guizhou. It has both the traditional customs of the Tujia, Miao and other ethnic minorities, as well as the architectural styles and lifestyles of the three places. You can enjoy the unique ethnic songs and dances here and feel the rich historical and cultural atmosphere. 💡How to get there · You can choose to fly to Zhangjiajie Lotus Airport, then take a bus or rent a car to Chadong Ancient Town. Tea Hill is about 20 kilometers from the ancient city of Phoenix, about 40 minutes by car, convenient transportation. The ancient town of Chadong can also be used as a starting point for your tour of the surrounding three places, allowing you to explore more of the natural and human landscape. 🧥【小贴士】 1⃣ Dressing advice: ethnic style long skirt plus flat shoes (stone road is very slippery), morning and evening temperature difference to prepare a thin jacket. 2⃣ Photography time: early morning mist or evening sunset, the light is relatively soft, easy to shoot a blockbuster feeling. 3⃣ Avoid the crowd: It will be quieter during the working day, and you can experience the fireworks of the ancient town market on weekends.
