very fantastic place in the world. I love this place so much. there are lot of hotel and local chinese food. I booked everything at Trip.com
The biggest highlight of Furong Town is the waterfall tour at night. Eat the local special pork feet soup, drink a bowl of rice tofu in Liu Xiaoqing's movie, go to the waterfall night tour, the lights at night, several times better than the day, from the back of the waterfall, there is a water curtain hole in front of you, especially great!
An alternative town if Fenghuang town is too crowded. Furong is less than 30mins by high speed train from Fenghuang. i love the town and the waterfalls at night when the light lit up
Very worth a visit to the scenic spot, the whole town is built around the big waterfall, very shocking. The tickets for the scenic spot also include watching the performance, and I feel that the price/performance ratio is OK. Have the opportunity to bring friends over to see it again.
