Fenghuang Ancient Town is a place that perfectly blends natural scenery, historical sites, ethnic culture, and literary sentiment. It possesses both the gentle charm of a Jiangnan water town and the free-spiritedness and mystery of a frontier ancient town. It is a must-visit destination for tourists in Hunan.

Furong Town has beautiful scenery, especially the layout around the waterfall. Every step reveals a picturesque view, it's breathtaking. However, the service is a bit overly pushy with the vendors, which can be annoying, but otherwise it's fine.

I used to think a border town was just a town, but after visiting, I realized it's actually a separate region. The Chongqing side is Hong'an Ancient Town, the Hunan side is Chadong Ancient Town, and the Guizhou side is Jiming Province. Admission: Free, open-air ancient town. Lala Ferry 2 yuan, ferry boat 5 yuan, other boat tours 25 yuan. Highlights: Wannian Terrace, Lala Ferry, Chadong Wharf, Cuicui's House, White Pagoda, and the "One Foot Across Three Provinces" boundary marker. Parking: Parking is available on both the Chongqing and Hunan sides, but I recommend parking on the Chongqing side. The Hunan side is quite frustrating to get in and out (the lines on the Lala Ferry are noticeably longer). Personally, I think the Chongqing side is more authentic, with less commercial activity. The Hunan side is more lively, with more commercial travel photography, but the focus is still on the Hunan side. You also need to take a boat to Cuicui Island. Cuicui's House has bacon rice, which I highly recommend trying. You can skip the boat altogether, especially to the new boundary marker, and just walk along the river. I recommend taking the Lala Ferry. If there are too many people, take the 5 yuan ferry across the river. It is generally recommended to spend half a day to visit. It is not recommended for non-art lovers or photography enthusiasts to stay for more than one day.

It's worth a visit. After all, it's a national-level building. Yes, let me tell you about Aizhai. The Aizhai Bridge scenic area has a glass plank walkway, but it's not very interesting. Half a day is enough for Aizhai Bridge. The official itinerary is difficult to understand. The Aizhai Miao village of Dehang below is interesting and worth a visit. Jidou Miao Village is simple and authentic. The service at Aizhai Bridge is average, directions are difficult, and communication is difficult. I took a lot of photos at Aizhai Bridge, but there's actually a fee later.

It's worth a visit. Walking among a group of stones, taking photos, and checking in, it's beautiful and a good exercise. In summer, you must take good sun protection measures, as your head will be exposed to the sun. We brought a child who was afraid of heat, so the shortest itinerary was probably completed in two hours.
