Pingyao in the north, Fenghuang in the south—a living city of history!!!

Many people say that they learned about Fenghuang from Shen Congwen's 'Border Town', but in fact, 'Border Town' describes the ancient town of Chadong, which has always been less famous than Fenghuang. The stilted buildings along the river are built on the water, and looking down, it feels like arriving in the water towns of the south. As night falls, the brilliant lights decorate the ancient city like a dream. The clear Tuo River runs through the city, with its leisurely waters shimmering. The green mountains and trees along the bank complement the river. The ancient city has a single business model, with 70% being homestays + clothing photography, and the impact of serious commercialization needs attention. However, overall, Fenghuang is a charming ancient city. Come and experience it for yourself; its beauty and uniqueness are unforgettable. 🏮Lantern lighting time: Some say it's 18:30, some say 19:00, and others say 19:30!
