    "Super beautiful, not worth the trip. To the ancient city of Phoenix, the scenery during the day is not worse than the night view at night. The most beautiful ancient city I have ever traveled to, the hanging tower, the green mountains and green waters, the bridge scenery is different, there is no same bridge."
    Fenghuang
    42.7km from downtown
    Highlights: Fenghuang Ancient Town gained fame after author Shen Cong Wen's famous piece "Border Town". The town was built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi during the Qing Dynasty. The residents living there now are mainly from the Miao and Tujia ethnic minority. Ranking as the ancient town in China, Fenghuang Ancient Town is a guidebook for people to know the past life in the pre-modernization period. Wooden houses and stone roads are the typical scenes here. The scenery after rain or in the misty morning is like a traditional chinese painting. When the town lights up at night, it feels like you are immersed in a fairyland. It is recommended to stay for a night to fully enjoy this town.

    50km from downtown
    Highlights: The Biancheng Town, where the Biancheng Scenic Spot is located, used to be called Chatong Town, but it was renamed “Biancheng Town” in 2008. The real “Border Town” written by Shen Congwen is not in Fenghuang, but in Chadong, because of the fame and legacy of the article “Biancheng” The habit of calling it, there are still many people who still call it Chadong. Founded in the eighth year of Jiaqing (1803), the town is located at the junction of Hunan, Guizhou and Sichuan. After Chongqing was established as a municipality, strictly speaking, it is the junction of Hunan, Guizhou and Chongqing. called. Shen Congwen described the frontier city walls before liberation, with winding rivers, clean and elegant bluestone roads, quaint stilted buildings, towering white pagodas, ancient ferries and boats, which are picturesque and poetic. The poem cloud: "The scenery of the border town is intoxicating, and it is suspected that you are in the middle of the painting." After liberation, although the White Pagoda was destroyed, but the ancient style still depends on it. Films such as "Lianxinba" and "Border Town" were all filmed in Border Town. Today, when the ancient city of Phoenix is extremely popular, most tourists who can find it here are genuinely intoxicated by the scenes and events described in "Border Town". In the border town scenic spot, some of the scenes in the novel no longer exist, some have been moved, some have been refurbished, and some are simply newly built, but this does not prevent tourists from still taking "Border Town" as a guide map, comparing them one by one, or paying money. Hire a small boat to go boating on the Emirates water, and reminisce about that beautiful and moving story. Now the main attractions in the scenic area are: Cuicui Island (newly built), Calligraphy Garden, Diaojiaolou along the river, ancient human sites in the south, ancient city walls, Laladu (moved location, not the river crossing location in "Border City", now going back and forth Between the border town of Hunan and the ancient town of Hong'an in Chongqing separated by a river), Minglianfang, Three Provinces on One Foot, etc.
