Furong Town

Originally named "Wang Village," Furong Town is an ancient town with a history of over two thousand years. In 1986, the film *Hibiscus Town*, directed by Xie Jin and starring Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen, was shot on location here, bringing the ancient town widespread fame, and in 2007 it was officially renamed. The center of the ancient town is built atop a massive rock formation, with a waterfall dropping dozens of meters flowing through the town. Tujia stilted houses are built right next to the waterfall, earning it the name "the thousand-year-old town hanging on a waterfall." Strolling along the five-li-old street paved with bluestone slabs, you can see many local residences on both sides constructed from wooden planks, many of which have darkened with age, bearing clear traces of the passage of time. The Xizhou Bronze Pillar in the town is a precious historical witness, inscribed with a treaty of truce and alliance between the King of Chu and local chieftains during the Five Dynasties period, recording a chapter of Tujia history. The Tusi King's Palace next to the waterfall served as a summer retreat for successive generations of Tusi kings, and the area nearby is also a great spot to overlook the entire town, taking in the stilted houses, the waterfall, and the Youshui River below all at once. After nightfall, the ancient town lights up, the waterfall is illuminated with colored lights, and the night scenery is gorgeous and enchanting. Mi doufu (rice tofu), made famous by a film, is now the town's signature snack, with shops bearing "mi doufu" signs everywhere, and the one where the film was shot being especially popular. The town also offers specialty goods such as Tujia brocade, bamboo tube wine, and Guzhang Maojian tea, which you can keep as travel souvenirs.

Furong Town Waterfall is hidden in Furong Town, located in theWuling Mountains of Western Hunan. A stream flows through the town, and upon reaching the end of the town, it cascades down from a cliff in two tiers, with a drop of approx. 60 m and a width of approx. 40 m, plunging directly into the Youshui River below the cliff. The ancient town is known as the "millennium-old town hanging on a waterfall" because of this waterfall—the waterfall roars right beside the eaves of the old street, and this waterfall view that integrates with the entire town is very unique. On the cliffs on both sides of the waterfall, Tujia stilt houses hang in layers beside the waterfall; walking along the Wuli Slate Street that winds with the mountain to the edge of the cliff, you can look down at the entire water curtain. Descending to the Wangcun Old Wharf by the Youshui River at the foot of the cliff, you can look up at the scene of the waterfall and the stilt houses in the same frame. Shen Congwen once praised the exquisite beauty of the mountains, waters, trees, and stones at Wangcun Wharf. The waterfall has different highlights throughout the four seasons: during the high-water season, the water volume is abundant and the momentum is grand, and you can hear the roar from far away; during the normal water season, it looks like a white silk hanging from the cliff, making the ancient town appear even quieter. After nightfall, the lights turn on, and the waterfall and the buildings on the cliff take on a different silhouette. The night view of the grand waterfall attracts many tourists to stay until the evening.

Shiban Street is located in Furong Town, Yongshun County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. It is an ancient street with profound historical heritage. The street is about five miles long and is named after the bluestone slabs it is paved with. It is well preserved to this day. Traditional plank-door shops and Tujia stilt houses are lined up on both sides, showing a strong ethnic style. The winding street leads to the ferry pier on the bank of Youshui River. Along the way, you can enjoy natural landscapes such as Wangcun Waterfall and Feishuizhai built on the cliff.   Furong Town has a long history of more than 2,300 years. As the main road of the ancient town, Shiban Street has witnessed its evolution from an ancient commercial town to a modern tourist destination. The buildings on both sides of the street are mostly in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the bluestone pavement looks more quaint after years of baptism. There are also cultural venues such as the Xiangxi Tusi Museum and the Folk Customs Scenery Museum on both sides of Shiban Street, showing the rich Tujia culture and history. When night falls, the red lanterns on both sides of the street are lit up, reflecting on the bluestone slabs, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Visitors can stroll here to feel the charm of the ancient town at night and experience a completely different style from that during the day.

Nice town, but 100 RMB is a hefty price just to take a photo of the waterfall. Otherwise similar to most ancient towns. Might look more amazing if it rained the days before for a stronger waterfall.

Furong Town Waterfall is undoubtedly the centerpiece of Furong Town's scenery. Hanging by the You River, it offers a unique charm whether viewed from afar or up close, by day or at night, from atop a vantage point, or even by foot. It was also the filming location for the tale "Journey to the West," though back then, there weren't as many houses built near the falls. Commercialization, then, has its pros and cons, depending on how local authorities guide and manage it.

The ride was generally gentle, with occasional thrills, and the scenery on both sides was decent. However, some parts of the ride were too long, and my back and waist started to ache from sitting for so long. It was a good idea that the photos taken at the end could be processed more efficiently and sent to us directly via WeChat instead of insisting on printing them out.

I went there on the second day of the Chinese New Year. I went there as soon as it opened in the morning. There weren't many people, but after noon, there was a huge flow of people. It is recommended to go there during off-peak hours. The best time is in the morning. The infinity hot spring pool is the best.

Laosicheng has pleasant scenery, beautiful views and comfortable temperature. It is an ideal place for leisure and vacation to experience the local customs and folkways. It has a very high cost-effectiveness and historical value. It is great.

I loved this place it's really soul fulling for me on this this in April 2024. I did bag packing myself to China with out speaking any Chinese, but only free visa i saw and the place from pictures so stunning. I decided to come 20 days with out any plans. This place just make me sick of happiness. I got a room next to the waterfall and i stayed for 4 days. I would recommend you book hotel just one night and when you are here you can change to other hotel easily. The Chinese are very friendly and helpful to me with out speaking any language but just kind.Address: I''ll come back again with my family for sure

A national forest park in the city. It is hard to imagine that there is a free national forest park in the county. Cliff inscriptions, mountain streams, and lush forests make people feel comfortable physically and mentally. Chunqiubi strongly recommends the treasure tourist town of Yongshun County, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture. The key is: Yongshun also has a world cultural heritage - the ruins of the old city.

Wuli Stone Street is the stone street on the old street of Furong Town. It has a section of stone road and a section of stairs. There are many shops on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of things. It is similar to many ancient towns. There are not many tourists, and not many people buy things, they just look. Occasionally, a tour guide lady or a young man holding flags of different colors will lead a travel group through the stone road of the old street.

Как добирались: сначала доехали за 15¥ до Furongzhen Scenic Area. Там спустя минут 15 нашлась машина в didi до красных камней - 55¥.На выходе из парка такси в округе нет и didi не нашел спустя 20 мин, но мы и так хотели на автобусе (стоят у выхода) - 15¥ с чел (нал или wc), отправились в 14:45. В кассе сказали, что точного расписания автобусов нет.В целом место показалось немного заброшенным, людей мало(были в субботу), да и на территории есть прямо скажем брошеные места.Гулять хорошо, камни имеют интересную форму, много сосен и работники высаживают цветы. Основные зоны мы посмотрели за пару часов, но можно дольше гулять. Еды особо нет, но воду и перекусы купить можно.По итогу, из всех посещенных нами природных достопримечательностей в округе, эта более труднодоступная и менее впечатляющая.

Mengdong River rafting is a famous attraction in Zhangjiajie. The whole process takes several hours. Bamboo rafts drift along the river, with green mountains and clear waters on both sides, and monkeys sometimes shuttle through the trees. The scenery is primitive and quiet. Rafting is thrilling and exciting.
