Fenghuang Ancient Town (鳳凰古城)

Fenghuang Ancient Town

Located on the western edge of Hunan Province close to the border with Guizhou Province, Fenghuang Ancient Town, or Phoenix Ancient Town, is one of the most beautiful towns in China. With over 1,300 years of history, the town features distinctive residential buildings, elegant bridges, and many mysterious towers and pagodas. Upon entering the town, visitors immediately get a sense of the area's mystery, elegance, and primitive simplicity. When an early morning mist settles over the water around the bridges and stilted houses, the area becomes an iconic scene that seems to be the mirror image of a traditional Chinese painting.
