Fenghuang Ancient Town苹苹野鸣秋The border city of Phoenix is said to have originally originated from a military fortress in the central plains of the arch. Hundreds of years passed, dimmed the shadow of the sword and lightsaber, and went far away to the drum horns to compete. The ancient city gradually removed its old clothes and put on the clothes we see today. At the beginning of the Hua Lantern, the two sides of the Lijiang River in the night are decorated with neon lights, which makes people think of the phoenix that is flying in the fire in the mythology. If the ancient city during the day makes people want to go far away from the Jinge iron horse, the bonfire wolf smoke, then the ancient city at night is more a kind of time through the magnificent and dreamy, maybe this really belongs to the legendary gentle border city.
Tuo RiverWWH1962As the mother river of Fenghuang County, Hunan Province, the Lijiang River not only carries rich historical and cultural heritage, but also attracts countless tourists with its unique natural scenery and humanistic landscape. This river runs through the middle of Fenghuang County, and has bred the children of the ancient city for generations. The Tujia Diaojiao Building, the ancient city wall and historical buildings such as Wanshou Palace and Wanwan Tower along the coast together constitute a beautiful picture of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The common way to visit the Lijiang River is "River Boating". Visitors can board the boat from the pier near the north gate, down the current, and go to the Hongqiao outside the east gate for about 20 minutes. On both sides of the Lijiang River are the century-old Tujia Diaojiao Building, which has a special charm. In addition, the rock jumping near the north gate of the Lijiang River is also a scenic spot to shoot the beautiful scenery of the Lijiang River. You can also take in the cameras of the hanging towers on both sides of the Straits, the opposite Hongqiao and the small boats.
Hongqiao Fengyu Building喜喜欢猫的虎The Hongqiao Bridge, also known as the "Wind and Rain Tower", lies across the Tuojiang River. It is the central landmark of Fenghuang Ancient Town, integrating scenic spots and tourist shopping.
On the walls at both ends of the bridge are engraved couplets written by Huang Yongyu and his brother Huang Yongqian.
The bridge has two floors. The first floor is a pedestrian passage, where tourists can travel back and forth between the two sides of the Tuojiang River. The second floor overlooks Fenghuang and is also one of the best viewing spots in the ancient city.
Nanhuamen顺顺时针1986Fenghuang Nanhua Gate is one of the entrances to Fenghuang Ancient City. It is a landmark building of Fenghuang and the dividing line between Fenghuang Ancient City and New City. Entering Nanhua Gate is Fenghuang Ancient City, and exiting Nanhua Gate is New City. You can take bus No. 1 or No. 2 in Fenghuang. You can see the towering Nanhua Gate as soon as you get off the bus. You can overlook the distant view of Fenghuang Ancient City on the tower. It is very lively in summer nights, and many people come to see the night view of the ancient city. At the same time, it is also the departure point for one-day tours around Fenghuang and bonfire parties. In addition, the surrounding area is also a place where major inns and hotels are concentrated. The tourism reception is relatively mature, and the transportation is convenient. It is recommended. This is also the departure point for most people to travel and the boarding point for bonfire parties. There is constant noise here every morning and evening, which is very lively.
Nanhua Gate is the junction of the ancient city and the new city. It is also a landmark building. Go down the stairs in front of Nanhua Gate to the ancient city. Nanhua Gate is called a city gate, but it also looks like a bridge. Standing on it, you can see half of the ancient city of Fenghuang. It is a free open scenic spot. The night view is even better at night. You can go and see it again. Many inns and hotels that have booked in the ancient city usually pick up guests at Nanhua Gate if they have pick-up services. During the two days in Fenghuang, I passed Nanhua Gate several times. The get-off point for taking the bus to Fenghuang is here. Bus No. 1 and Bus No. 2 can go here. After watching "Border Town" at night, I walked back to the ancient city from the Phoenix Hotel and passed by here. The night view is super beautiful. However, the ancient city on the Nanhua Gate side is all newly built antique buildings in recent years. The really attractive stilt houses are still in Hongqiao, Huilong Pavilion, and Shawan.
Hanging Houses of Huilong TowerCCD云上There are really too many people, especially at night. Don't buy a ticket. There are so many people. Maybe don't buy a ticket. It's not fun during the day. The sun is very hot. It's best for you to have a tour guide to listen to the story and understand it best.

Zhushan MiaozhaiSSophie1207A relatively uncommercialized Miao village, I got to know some of the customs and practices of the Miao people. It may also be that it was developed relatively late. The road was not repaired until 2019 and cars were allowed to pass. It was also the last place in China to get rid of poverty in 2012! The 148 ticket is indeed a bit expensive, just consider it as poverty alleviation!
