I have been watching the waterfall in the mountains for a long time, always fantasizing about being able to live in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, as if it is a real paradise ^_^ In front of us in China, there is indeed such a place that can realize this wish. This is an ancient and pleasant border town that has experienced a thousand years of history, surrounded by water and the waterfall runs through the entire town. When night falls, the scattered lights are like a galaxy in the world, and the dreamy waterfall is even more colorful. This land once became famous because of a movie by famous director Xie Jin, and was renamed for this reason. This place is Furong Town in Xiangxi, Hunan, a severely underestimated niche attraction. Take advantage of the good season of autumn, why not pack up and set off! If you choose high-speed rail , you can get off at the "Furong Town" high-speed rail station, and then take a taxi for a few minutes to arrive, or drive to the "Furong Town Tourist Service Center" or "Furong Town Scenic Area Tianze Parking Lot" (the latter requires a ticket purchase first). The ticket price is 108 yuan/person, valid for 3 days, unlimited entry and exit. The recommended tour route is the entrance of the scenic spot ➡️ Baitang ➡️ Xizhou Copper Column ➡️ Tuwang Bridge ➡️ Tingtao Road Ancient Street ➡️ Guanpu Terrace Yinan Theater ➡️ Huashao Camping Base ➡️ Chushu Tongjin ➡️ Furong Town Big Waterfall ➡️ Viewing Gallery Bridge ➡️ City Gate Wharf ➡️ Wuli Stone Street ("Furong Town" movie location, Liu Xiaoqing's tofu shop) The special performance time is 9:00-22:00, the scenic spot continuously performs "Flowers Bloom and Furong·Bisca's Carnival", allowing you to appreciate the charm of the Tujia culture. The viewing platform at night is a night view not to be missed. The lights start at 19:30, and you can check in with the same pose as Yang Mi. In terms of accommodation, the price of homestays in the peak season is slightly expensive, and the price of waterfall-viewing rooms is above 350 yuan; accommodation outside the scenic area is more affordable, and parking is also more convenient. In terms of food, there are all kinds of special Xiangxi pickles, Liu Xiaoqing's tofu, stir-fried bamboo shoots, hot and sour noodles, rice wine, osmanthus fish, bacon, etc. In addition, the directly operated Tufeng Miaoyun Boutique Shop in the scenic area (opposite the Furong Grand View at the entrance of the scenic area) provides special products with Xiangxi style, such as secret T-shirts, sunny and rainy umbrellas, silverware, dolls, etc.

📍Getting to Furong Town - Go to Zhangjiajie bus station and buy a direct bus ticket for 40¥, they provided us a small van service which was more convenient! 🚐 After getting there, enjoy the beautiful views from one of the rooftops, explore the narrows streets and have at least one night to see the stunning town full of lights, it’s even more stunning!🌟 . . . #scenicspotguide #seasidephotoguide #staycation #summervacation #createwithtrip #china #chinalife #couplestrip #hunan #ancientlandmark

📌 From Zhangjiajie (张家界) in Hunan, you can take a bus from the long distance bus station to just outside the town. This trip will take about 2 hours. From here, you can ask your hotel for help. Mine came to help me find a car which will take you to the town entrance for about 10RMB (you can try to negotiate), but it's only a 5min drive. Then you need to pay an entry fee into the town which will cover 3 days. ⛲️  It's a very small town and I walked around it in about 2-3 hours. There are some spas along the streets where you can get a foot massage while looking at the waterfall. In the evening, there are performances (1 free, 1 needs ticket) which are really cool to watch. And of course the waterfall! You can't come to Furongzhen and not see it at night time, it's spectacular! 🏠 The hotel I stayed at was called 江湖驿站（Jiang hu yi zhan). I found it through a friends' friend. It was a small place but very comfortable and conveniently located inside the town. 🥢 The are many small restaurants down the street and you must try the speciality food of (米豆腐）Midoufu.   📝 10/10 experience. #historicculture#waterfall#beautifulsunsets

Getting There - go to the bus terminal in Zhangjiajie. buy the ticket and wait for the next available bus. It costs around ¥30 and takes around 2 hours. Wear your seatbelt - it’s a bumpy ride. Sitting in the bus is a beautiful way to observe rural farms and natural China mountain scenery. Attractions - you are required to buy the ticket to enter the scenic town. There’s a waterfall you can walk under, you can ride the boat, you can find a restaurant with a beautiful view. There’s even an outdoor cinema. Choose the things you like. You can do everything in one or two days. Hotels - the hotels inside the tourist area are more expensive. If you don’t mind walking for 10-15 minutes you can get a pretty cheap room on the main road before entering the water villiage. If you prefer luxury - try to find the hotel with the good view. There is good availability and many places to choose from. Food & Restaurants - many restaurants here serve delicious Hunan dishes. Try to find the place to eat where you can see the waterfall and enjoy fresh fish from the river. Delicious! Shopping - there are lots of little shops to buy souvenirs, cold drinks or ice cream. Good quality local goods. #ancientarchitecture #summervacation #waterfall
