Fenghuang (Fenghuang Ancient), the Venice of China, the charm of Hunan A must-check-in spot for visitors is the traditional bridge known as dingbu.

Upstream from the bridge, there is a place called Hongqiao, which dates back to the Ming Dynasty and is decorated with traditional Chinese lanterns, preserving the ancient city's charm.

Life advice: You must visit Fenghuang Ancient Town once, it is so beautiful. As the most representative scenic spot in Xiangxi, the border town described by Shen Congwen, the architectural style of Fenghuang Ancient Town is very Xiangxi-featured, especially in the evening, when the lights gradually light up and the entire ancient town is lit up, the shock at that moment cannot be described in words, you must go there once!

Xiangxi is the full name of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, located in northwestern Hunan Province. It has a long history, profound cultural heritage, and beautiful natural scenery. Today, I want to strongly recommend a place of extreme beauty - Xiangxi Furong Town. Furong Town, originally named Wangcun, is an ancient town with a history of over 2,000 years. It is like a shining pearl, and it has the reputation of "a thousand-year-old ancient town hanging on a waterfall" because of the magnificent waterfall flowing through it. 🚉 Transportation Guide: High-speed rail: You can take the train to Fenghuang Ancient Town Station. After exiting the station, take a shuttle bus directly to Nanhua Gate. Airplane: You can first fly to Tongren Fenghuang Airport, then take the airport bus to Chengbei, and then take a taxi to the ancient town. Self-driving: Navigate directly to the parking lot. You can reach the ancient town directly without going through the visitor center. 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations: Middle reaches of Tuojiang River: The most prosperous area, also the best place to enjoy the night view. If your budget allows, you can consider a river view room in the middle reaches. There's a reason why it's expensive. Upper and lower reaches of Tuojiang River: If you prefer a quiet environment, you can stay here. If you are driving, you can choose to stay in the lower reaches, which is closer to the parking lot. ❤ Reasons for Recommendation: 1. Open the East Gate Tower: As the gateway to the ancient town, the East Gate Tower has witnessed the vicissitudes of Fenghuang. Standing on the tower, you can have a panoramic view of the stilted houses on both sides of the Tuojiang River. 2. Boat trip on the Tuojiang River: Take a flat-bottomed boat and drift downstream, feeling like you are "swimming in a painting". The lights on both sides of the river are dazzling, reflecting on the shimmering water surface, creating a beautiful scene. 3. Shen Congwen's Former Residence: Step into the birthplace of the literary giant, and it seems as if you can hear the stories about Biancheng whispering in your ears. 4. Stone slab alley: Wander through the intricate stone slab alleys of the ancient town, each step echoing with history. You may stumble upon a small shop or cafe with a story. 5. Night view of Tuojiang River: As night falls, the lights on both sides of the Tuojiang River gradually light up, reflecting in the water, forming a flowing ink painting. Take a walk along the river and feel the tranquility and romance of the ancient town. 6. Night tour of Fenghuang: Romance under the flickering lights. 🍜 Food Recommendations: Taste feast: Fenghuang on the tip of your tongue 1. Blood-soaked duck: As Fenghuang's signature dish, this dish combines the deliciousness of duck meat and the glutinous rice, spicy and flavorful, leaving you wanting more. 2. Miao sour soup fish: Sour and spicy, with tender fish meat, it is a must-try dish to experience Miao customs. 3. Ginger candy: Ginger candy shops can be found everywhere in the streets and alleys. They are made on the spot, sweet and spicy, and are a great gift for friends and family. 4. Snack exploration: Don't forget to try Fenghuang's local snacks such as Shefan, Liangfen, and glutinous rice cake. Each bite is an ultimate temptation for your taste buds.

#VisitAncientCities #100WaysToTravel #VisitChinaByYourself #Fenghuang 🍂 I don't know... I'll keep saying the same thing. You should come to Fenghuang, Hunan Province, China, because it's beautiful. It's so beautiful that you know when to stop being beautiful. It's one of the most perfect ancient cities, reflecting the charm of traditional Chinese art and culture very well. Whether it's houses, bridges, or everything built, it has become a famous tourist attraction that's worth visiting once in a lifetime. 🍁 Fenghuang City is divided into two parts: the ancient city area and the new city area. Both areas have the Hongqiao Bridge connecting both sides of the city. 🌴 The ancient city area is located amidst mountains, with the Tuojiang River as the center of transportation. Most of the architecture of the buildings is Diaojiaolou, wooden houses raised from the ground, designed specifically to prevent flooding during the rainy season. 🌿 "Fenghuang City" is over 300 years old and was registered as a World Heritage Site by UNCESCO on March 28, 2008.

#100WaysOfTravel I traveled here for two nights but I wish I could have stayed longer! Both the daylight view and the night view was amazing, almost magical. I enjoyed a lot dressing up and taking photos with beautiful clothing and stunning background. I also went to watch theatre which was truly a special experience and I enjoyed every moment! After the theatre they had organised fireworks and other beautiful outdoor shows. The hotel prices were good and many of the hotels were decorated nicely. I would suggest to stay as central as possible in the old town, near the river. Also their barbecue was amazing as well as other Hunan food. I think a hood duration of stay would be 2-4 nights!#fenghuang #fenghuangancienttown #holidayvacation #stunning #summer

#VisitArchitecture #100TravelTips #ShareTravelPlan 【Must-visit attractions】 1. Walk across the river at the stepping stone bridge, a stone bridge to cross the main river here. Don't miss it if you go during the flood season. The bridge may be closed for safety reasons. 2. Walk around the ancient city. This is an ancient city with beautiful architecture. We recommend going in the afternoon until evening because you can see the ancient city both in the morning and at night. At night, the whole city will be lit up beautifully. 3. See the river at night. This is the highlight of this place. We recommend visiting from sunset until night. It is the most beautiful time. Walking along the river is very beautiful. 4. Renting an ancient Chinese costume is another activity that you must not miss. It is very beautiful and magnificent. There are many costume rental shops. The price is around 69 yuan to 300 yuan. The shop offers makeup, dressing up, and taking pictures. We can inform them. 【Recommended accommodation】 Recommended accommodation area Personally, I think staying near the river may be a little noisy. So I recommend a hotel that is a bit further away. It is comfortable and has no noise. Walking to the ancient city is not far. Cheap and very clean. Hotel name: qijiantang smart home stay 【Photo spot】 1. Tuojiang River. It is very beautiful at sunset and at night. The lights are decorated to create a great atmosphere. 2. Rainbow Bridge. On the way into the ancient city, if you go when there is a little light, you will see the atmosphere up close. 3. Fengqiao Bridge. The lights are very beautiful at night. You can walk or take a boat.

Changsha is really fun, there are so many delicious foods, and the people are super nice👍 Before going: Changsha has a lot of delicious food! After going: There are too many delicious foods, I don't want to leave... (Don't worry about eating, you basically won't step on landmines, it's just that as a northerner, my body is a bit unaccustomed) Tea Yan Yue Se: Recommend Sheng Sheng Oolong, You Lan Latte, Matcha Grapefruit (the iced version tastes better) Whenever you see Tea Yan Yue Se in every place, you must queue up to buy it, it's really good (also, there is none in the north) Stinky Tofu: You can try the black classic oh You must go to Orange Island Head, it's very photogenic, it's just that there are a lot of people (you can go early in the morning) The night view of Fenghuang Ancient City is still good, but it's too commercialized, it's basically all travel photography, but the cost-performance ratio is still okay, if you have been to Lijiang Ancient City before, then it's not highly recommended here, there's not much difference. Zhangjiajie's Seventy-Two Wonders Building is also quite recommended You don't need to buy a night ticket, it's very nice to take photos and check in across the street! The scenery of Tianmen Mountain is really beautiful, you must go and see it yourself, the natural wonder (recommended tourist route A line, not tiring at all, remember to make an appointment a bit earlier) The National Forest Park is still worth a visit, to feel the magnificence of the three thousand strange peaks and rocks, after all, you have already come to Zhangjiajie, it's really big inside, saw wild monkeys🐒 very cute, recommend entering and exiting from the east gate. By the way, for those planning to travel to Hunan, you really don't need to check the weather forecast in advance, it's really useless, even the locals don't look at it, everyone just go and have fun, it's very comfortable to stroll around on cloudy and rainy days, sunny days are actually too hot, everyone just prepare an umbrella, the rain comes fast and goes fast!

I have been to Zhangjiajie three times! I really want to tell you some truth! These are all my personal experiences + travel suggestions, which I have summarized for you. I hope they can help you! ✅Travel preparation Book high-speed rail tickets/air tickets in advance according to your own situation ID card and discount certificate, a small amount of cash, gastrointestinal medicine, mask, camera, etc. The weather is changeable🌞Be sure to check the weather forecast in advance to find a better weather!

It is recommended to sign up for a reliable local tour for the first time. The Xiaowang tour we went to Zhangjiajie this time has a special car, and you don’t have to worry about accommodation, scenic spot tickets, transportation, etc. You can check in the highlights of the scenic spots, listen to humorous explanations, have fun, and it is very cost-effective~

I personally think that the ancient town of Fenghuang is better during the day than at night. It is best to travel outside of holidays to truly appreciate the unique charm of Fenghuang Ancient Town. Traveling during holidays, apart from the lively nights, only offers a bland and heavily commercialized experience! 🌟 After getting off the high-speed train, don't take the magnetic levitation taxis. Instead, walk inside and buy a direct bus ticket for 7 yuan per person. It's about 8 kilometers and takes 20 minutes. When purchasing, show the staff the hotel you're going to, and they will tell you which bus number to take (there are only 2 routes). 🌟 Book your hotel in advance, and don't worry about which gate to enter through. The ancient town is neither too big nor too small, and there are many places to visit, so it doesn't really matter where you stay. There's no need to be picky about the location or to stay in the county outside. Just choose a hotel inside the ancient town. It's best not to choose a hotel by the river during holidays, as it can be noisy until 2 a.m., making it hard to sleep. On regular days, riverside hotels can be an option, but choose carefully. I personally recommend staying at a hotel further inside, as accommodations are very affordable and you're unlikely to encounter any issues. 🌟 If you choose a homestay near Nanhua Gate, there will be many stairs, which is not convenient for luggage. Look at the map and try to choose a location a bit closer to the river at the bottom left corner, where there are not too many stairs and it's more convenient. 🌟 Two days and one night are enough; there's no need to stay too long. The scenery is beautiful during the day when the weather is good, especially from Wanming Pagoda to Feng Bridge. If you want to see the night view, you can go to Nanhua Bridge. 🌟 The photos you can take in the ancient town are quite similar, so there's no need to choose too expensive a package. The 199, 299, 399, 699 options are really just for the experience. A 199 package is enough, and the photos will be similar. Many are just casual shots, but you can still get one or two that you like! It's best to rent a costume and take photos during the day, as they don't look good at night. You don't need to deliberately look for roadside photographers; sometimes they will take photos for you, and if you like them, you can buy them—10 yuan for 7 photos! 🌟 The food and goods in the ancient town are too expensive and not tasty or enjoyable. You're always stepping on landmines with the heavy commercialization. The entire ancient town is almost entirely filled with clothing and travel photography shops. It's really only suitable for a glance at the scenery. Biancheng is not Fenghuang Ancient Town, but if you have time, you can find a driver to carpool for 80 yuan per person to visit Chadianzi, the place described by Shen Congwen in his writings!

During the day, there aren't many people, but at night it gets very crowded! The streets are quite narrow and packed with people. The night view of the ancient town is very beautiful, you must go and see it, there are many music bars by the river but the prices are generally high. Local delicacies include special dishes like blood curd duck, Miao pancakes, beef rice noodles, and shrimp cakes. I tried the blood curd duck and beef rice noodles (blood curd duck is available in many restaurants) and the taste was quite good~ There are many top-rated restaurants every day, you can go and check them out!! It is recommended to use group buying for 1-2 person meals, most of which are priced around 68 yuan, and you can eat very well. The most popular shop for beef rice noodles is Shili Xiang noodle shop, but I just randomly chose a shop, and the taste was also good. The noodles are the very wide kind, they look spicy but are not. Photography: There are photo studios all over the ancient town, with both cheap and expensive prices, but you get what you pay for. You should visit several studios, pick and choose carefully. 398 yuan for 10 retouched photos, with all negatives included. The makeup artists are very good, and you can ask for a makeup change if you're not satisfied. Accommodation: Don't worry about not having a place to stay! There are homestays everywhere, but you still need to look ahead of time. The river view rooms have great views, and at night you can listen to the music from the bars by the river. But the prices are a bit more expensive, ranging from 200-600 yuan (or even more expensive), so you can choose according to your own needs. Attention! When visiting the ancient town, be sure to wear comfortable flat shoes! Otherwise, your feet will hurt, as the roads in the ancient town are uneven. Some attractions in the scenic area require tickets, so check the weather forecast, as it is often rainy in this southern water town, so be prepared with an umbrella. Travel light, and if you can avoid bringing a suitcase, do so, as it's not convenient to wheel a suitcase around the ancient town.

Having visited many ancient towns, one might feel a sense of commercial homogeneity. However, I find the bridges over the Tuojiang River in Fenghuang Ancient Town particularly interesting. Nestled among green mountains, with clear waters flowing, each bridge has its own unique shape, full of aesthetic quality, and also carries a folkloric charm. It reminds me of the famous lines written by Mr. Shen Congwen, a local writer of Fenghuang Ancient Town: 'Between the green mountains and waters, I want to hold your hand and cross this bridge, Above the bridge are green leaves and red flowers, below is the flowing water and people's homes, The end of the bridge leads to youth, and this end to grey hair.' I think, this is probably the most beautiful expression of love and life.

Fenghuang Ancient Town is this unreal slice of history tucked away in Hunan, China. With its stilted houses right on the river, winding cobblestone paths, and bridges that look amazing lit up at night, it's like walking into the past. It's perfect for anyone into history, culture, or just looking for some awesome photos. Definitely a must-see for an authentic peek into China’s rich heritage. Super picturesque and full of character. It was accessible by train directly from Zhangjiajie, can be visited as a day tour but I would definitely recommend staying at least one night since trains back to Zhangjiajie depart early. That way you can enjoy this picturesque town also at night. Bonus tip: if you rent an outfit and have a photoshoot, you can do it almost at sunset time, so you have both daytime and nighttime pictures 😉 #freehotelstay

A must-go in this life‼ ️Definitely the most beautiful ancient city in China, Fenghuang Ancient City ✅"I have walked across bridges in many places, seen clouds many times, and drunk many kinds of wine, but I have only loved one person at the right age" Yichen Congwen ✅I believe that many people have an inexplicable complex about ancient towns and cities. Fenghuang Ancient Town is definitely the most worthwhile ancient town to visit in China and also the most worthwhile travel destination. We always look forward to good weather, but only in Fenghuang Ancient Town, I hope it will be drizzling. Fenghuang in the mist and rain is the most beautiful scenery in the world! 📍Address: Fenghuang Ancient Town, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province 🚙Transportation: The nearest train station is Jishou Railway Station. There are buses to the ancient city right outside the train station. Private cars are not recommended. The nearest airport is Tongren Phoenix Airport. 📌Must-check-in scenery 1️⃣ Two bridges, from which you can overlook the panoramic view of Fenghuang Ancient Town, which is quite spectacular 2️⃣The night view of the ancient city. The night view of Fenghuang Ancient City is the most beautiful I have ever seen. Sitting on the stone bench by the river, listening to the music in the store, and feeling the time in the ancient city is comfortable and romantic. 📌Guide to preventing scams 1️⃣The ancient city itself is the biggest attraction. You just need to stroll around the ancient city, look at the Tuojiang River, and admire the stilt houses in the ancient city. 2️⃣ It is not recommended to attend the so-called bonfire party. Don't listen to the recommendations of the innkeeper and the so-called tour guide. Some people say that Fenghuang Ancient Town is very commercial. In fact, you just need to focus on the scenery and feel the atmosphere of the entire Fenghuang Ancient Town.

|Border Town under the pen of Shen Congwen. 'A bend of Tuojiang River, a Phoenix city.' A slight mist is diffused, three thousand bright lights are brilliant, so this is the border town under the pen of Mr. Shen Congwen... Rush to the Phoenix Ancient City in western Hunan to see the 'Border Town' under the pen of Shen Congwen. The majestic ancient city wall, the neat stilted buildings, the smooth bluestone roads, the Yao girls by the Tuojiang River... These are the first impressions of the Phoenix Ancient City. Phoenix is located in western Hunan, and is a county where ethnic minorities such as Miao and Tujia are mainly concentrated. This place has a long history and was once called 'the land of barbarians', but a 'Border Town' has pushed this ancient city to the world. Today's Phoenix is the 'most beautiful small city in China' in the mouth of New Zealand writer Rewi Alley and the 'Painting Township' under the pen of painter Huang Yongyu, which is comparable to the ancient city of Lijiang in Yunnan and the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi. 'Wait for a city of misty rain, just for you; cross a lifetime of love, only with you' 'I have walked over many bridges in my life, seen clouds many times, drunk many kinds of wine, but only loved a person at the best age' Perhaps many people like Shen Congwen because of this sentence. And because of his 'Border Town', they fell in love with Phoenix.
