Ancient Fairy Town
Spent a day in Fenghuang Ancient City and was mesmerized by this magical little town. I stayed in a beautiful room on the river with a balcony that overlooked all the activity. It was raining most of the time, but the mist just added more of a fairy-like atmosphere to the whole experience. There was plenty of street food, snacks, drinks to keep people fed while they are wandering through the alleys and checking out the scenery.

Walking around the town is a visual treat. You can walk along the river early in the morning and enjoy watching fishermen fish.

Fenghuang Ancient Town, China
An old town in the middle of a valley, the atmosphere is very good. The houses are still old and classic. The elderly people look energetic. They come out to do various activities, fish, walk for exercise. And there are many groups hired to take pictures for tourists near the bridge. So we got a lot of beautiful pictures back.
We took the high-speed train from Changsha for 2 hours, got off at Honghua, and took a taxi for 1:30 to get here.
It is an impressive city and I want to go again.

Fenghuang
Fenghuang Ancient Town (Phoenix Town) is a peaceful town just outside of Zhangjiajie. It can be done within a day if you use the local bus instead of taking a tour. We took a bus from the Zhangjiajie central bus station. Costs 80 RMB per trip and takes around 4h15min to get there. The journey back by bus was quicker, around 3h45min. They have loads of spots to buy snacks and water, and a few Chinese restaurants within the town. A lovely day outing! #fenghuangancienttown #chinatravel #ancienttowns #daytrip #explorechina #phoenixtown

Took a train from changsha station and a car ride to reach here. This place is rather popular, and is huge! but not sure is it because i visited during their non peak season, a lot stores never open. Stores that are opened are mainly for photo takings, and food only. Wouldn’t recc ppl to specially come n visit this ancient town. Visited other ancient towns in Xinjiang and Yunnan, they were so much better.

Wake Up to the Majestic Bridge: Fenghuang’s Best Rooms with a View
My stay at this homestay(江韵小筑江景民宿) in Fenghuang was a truly memorable experience. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. They even arranged a convenient pick-up from the nearby station, which was a thoughtful touch, especially after a long journey. The room itself was spacious and impeccably clean, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring the town.
One of the highlights of the stay was the balcony, which offered an amazing view of the iconic bridge. Watching the town light up at 7pm was nothing short of magical, with the entire bridge and surrounding area glowing in vibrant colors. It was the perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of Fenghuang as the evening unfolded. This homestay truly exceeded my expectations, combining comfort, hospitality, and a stunning location for an unforgettable stay.

Epic Night Scenery of Toujiang River, Phoenix Ancient Town
Experience the epic night scene of Toujiang River that has been flowing through the Fenghuang Ancient Town that encapsulates 1300 years of Tang Dynasty flavors and culture.
It is truly a breathtaking location that attracts the instagram and various social platforms "tribes" in droves to be dressed in ancient attires/robes to post the best snapshot taken by professionals.
In our opinion, you should stay a night in this place to enjoy the day and night scenery of this 1300 years of Tang Dynasty!#tangdynasty #fenghuangancienttown #epic #nightscene #dayscene #rivercruise #toujiangriver

Fenghuang Ancient Town
- Take the high-speed train from changsha south - fenghuang gucheng
- There are electric cars from the train station. The service is very good. When you arrive at the village entrance, you have to carry your luggage down by yourself because cars cannot enter the village.
- The view is beautiful during the day. At night, the lights are very beautiful.
- There is a fountain in the middle of the river that projects a screen instead of a projector. It is very magnificent.
- I recommend booking a hotel by the river with a balcony. There are many hotels. You can check the reviews of any hotel on trip.com.
- No Chinese people speak English. You have to use a translation app all the time. But it is quite nice.

The magical Phoenix old town (凤凰古城)
#100WaysOfTravel I traveled here for two nights but I wish I could have stayed longer! Both the daylight view and the night view was amazing, almost magical. I enjoyed a lot dressing up and taking photos with beautiful clothing and stunning background. I also went to watch theatre which was truly a special experience and I enjoyed every moment! After the theatre they had organised fireworks and other beautiful outdoor shows. The hotel prices were good and many of the hotels were decorated nicely. I would suggest to stay as central as possible in the old town, near the river. Also their barbecue was amazing as well as other Hunan food. I think a hood duration of stay would be 2-4 nights!#fenghuang #fenghuangancienttown #holidayvacation #stunning #summer

Beautiful Ancient Town. A must-go!
Feng Huang Ancient Town. Definitely in the checklist if you are in Changsha!
I was in awe of the beautiful landscape and scenery before my sight the moment I arrived in Feng Huang. The town is lively with people both day and night. The sights are both wonderful. Recommend to stay over a night in town just so you can party/chill till late looking over the water, listening to the chatting and music from the balcony. and enjoying the beautiful sights again when you wake up in the morning and enjoying your breakfast from the balcony. Truly a great experience! #ancienttownchina #fenghuangancienttown #scenary

Amazing ancient town. Beautifull views during the day. Enjoy lunch by the river side. At night the town is lit up with tons of street vendors. Highly recommend the river boat ride. Watch the show while enjoying the lights of the buildings. #mustdo #ancienttown #fenghuang #fenghuangancienttown #boattour #town #china #chinatravel
