A summer Escape

#summerresorts Furong Town, nestled in the heart of Hunan Province, is an idyllic summer retreat that offers a perfect escape from the heat. Known for its stunning waterfalls and well-preserved Tujia culture, Furong Town combines natural beauty with a rich cultural heritage. As I arrived, the first thing that caught my eye was the breathtaking sight of the Furong Waterfall cascading down the cliffs, its misty spray offering a refreshing coolness in the warm summer air. The sound of the water rushing over the rocks was soothing, creating an atmosphere of tranquility that immediately put me at ease. Wandering through the town, I was charmed by its traditional wooden stilt houses that line the river, reflecting the local Tujia architecture. The narrow streets were filled with the aroma of local delicacies and the vibrant colors of handicrafts, offering a glimpse into the everyday life of the Tujia people. Despite its popularity, Furong Town retains a peaceful, laid-back vibe, making it an ideal place to relax and soak in the beauty of summer in a setting that feels both timeless and untouched by the modern world. Furong Town truly embodies the essence of a perfect summer resort, where nature and culture blend seamlessly to create an unforgettable experience.

Furong Town | A Chaotic Wonderland of Management

| A Chaotic Wonderland of Management. D1: Arrive at Furong Town Station in the afternoon - Furong Town Night View - Furong Town Performance D2: Furong Town - You Shui Gallery - Red Stone Forest - High-speed Train · Specialty dishes: Blood Rice Duck, Cured Meat, Duck Feet with Wild Vegetables, Rice Cake ----Furong Town---- · The town is very small, and it can be completely explored in 3h. The rock jumping above the waterfall is not open at night, but the path that goes behind the waterfall at the bottom is open all day. · The scenery of the waterfall town is quite unique, and it's great for photography. At Shenpu Camp Square, you can see the full view of the waterfall. · Apart from the scenery, there is nothing good, the management is quite chaotic. Regarding how to buy boat tickets, 3 staff members all gave different information. · In addition, historical and cultural sites such as the Tusi King's Mansion, Xizhou Copper Pillar, and Tusi Temple were all closed, it's unclear what the scenic area is thinking. ----You Shui Gallery---- · You can only buy boat tickets for You Shui Gallery, a one-way trip takes 1h to reach the Red Stone Forest, after visiting the Red Stone Forest, you can take a ferry bus back to Furong Town in 30min. · Furong Town was a city during the Qin and Han dynasties, also known as Youyang. With the help of You Shui, it was connected to Sichuan and Guizhou in the north and Dongting Lake in the south, earning the reputation of 'Chu-Shu Thoroughfare'. You can take a boat to revisit the ancient route. · If you're lucky, you can see little monkeys chasing the boats along the shore during the journey. But the scenery can become monotonous beyond that. ----Red Stone Forest---- · Worth visiting for those interested in geology. The park development is very interesting, with towering red carbonate rock formations divided into upper and lower layers for exploration, including stone forests, canyons, and caves, among other landforms. And these are just the tip of the iceberg of the once Ordovician seabed. · On the surface of the rocks in the park, and on the floor tiles, you can also see fossils of marine creatures such as hornstones. · The 60rmb guide was slacking off the whole time, the promised 1.5h tour was cut down to 40min, making for a very poor experience. · The return time of the shuttle bus was much earlier than what the scenic area staff said, 30min earlier, making it impossible to fully explore the park. ----Ticket Purchase---- · There are 3 types of tickets: 1. Furong Town ticket valid for 2 days 2. Furong Town ticket valid for 2 days + Red Stone Forest ticket 3. Furong Town ticket valid for 2 days + You Shui Gallery boat ticket + Red Stone Forest ticket · Ticket 2 is suitable for self-driving or shuttle bus; ticket 3 includes a 1h boat trip to the Red Stone Forest, and a 30min ferry bus back to Furong Town. · It is recommended to get it all at once, otherwise, it will cost much more to buy tickets later. · During the May 1st holiday, boats are only dispatched 3 times a day, you need to go to the tourist center to get the schedule in advance to avoid missing it. ----Performance---- · There are multiple performances in Furong Town every day, all free of charge. After seeing the performance in Zhangjiajie, the performances in Furong Town, whether it's the setting, choreography, or actors, are all a big step down.

Furong Town in Xiangxi, a town worth staying for 7 days.

This ancient town hanging on the cliff is really worth it. The big waterfall is well-deserved, very photogenic!! About transportation: Take a bullet train directly to "Furong Town" station, there is a bus to the scenic area, or you can take a taxi directly, it is very close in ten minutes! Self-driving can navigate to the "Furong Town Tourist Center" to reach the scenic area parking lot (charged). If you live in a homestay in the scenic area, you can find the homestay owner in advance. Generally, you can park at the door of the homestay. Group tickets: 103 for adults, 60 for children/elderly. Find the homestay owner to book it cheaper, you can ask in advance! Furong Town must check in 1 Guanpu Terrace Scenic Area Viewing Platform Immersive This ancient town hanging on the waterfall overlooks the panoramic view of Furong Town. It is easy to take pictures during the day and night! 2 Furong Big Waterfall If you have a drone, you must bring it. The God’s perspective is even more spectacular. Some shops and landscapes opposite the waterfall are also very good! 3 Tuhuang Bridge Tujia Wind and Rain Bridge can take a panoramic view of the ancient town stilt building, must check in! 4 Wuli Stone Slab Street Ancient Town The oldest street witnessed the changes of the ancient town for thousands of years. The movie "Furong Town" was filmed here. It feels very good to take Miao clothes. 5 Tuhuang Palace The palace built on the cliff is too shocking at the moment of lighting. There are many small attractions in the scenic area. I personally feel that these 5 are not to be missed.

Magical little village

📍芙蓉镇, Furongzhen Absolutely stunning place to stay for just a night and you will be finished. So cheap and fast to go from zhangjiajie and back on train only around 30 minutes. If you book a hotel within the village you need to buy a ticket to enter the village on arrival or before you arrive and it is valid to come in and out for 3 days just remember to have it on you at all times, as you need it to enter the performances too which are on at many times expect for when it’s raining, I think there’s 2 stages with different times so please double check. It’s 120 yuans from my memory but we got it for 60 yuans from a student discount. After the performances you can go to the popular viewing platform, I think most only go there for a day and don’t stay over so there’s not many people crowding the view and you can take pictures. The lights close at midnight so the later the less people. If your a light sleeper I recommend staying outside the village and the waterfall is super loud everywhere. There’s also a little museum next to the village that we didn’t know and get a chance to see as it closes at 3pm that you should check out in the morning if you arrive early.
