A mist-shrouded "Time Capsule" of stilted houses and emerald waters—widely regarded as the most beautiful ancient town in China.
Fenghuang (Phoenix) is a masterpiece of Fine Arts & Design in the form of a city. Set along the banks of the Tuo River, its wooden Diaojiaolou houses reflect in the water, creating a scene from a classic ink painting. Famous as the home of writer Shen Congwen, the town breathes nostalgia. WeTrip travelers enjoy a Private Wooden Boat Cruise at dawn to see the town wake up in the mist, or explore the stone-paved alleys lined with ginger candy workshops and batik studios. It is a place of serene beauty and deep History & Archaeology, where the Ming and Qing dynasty fortifications still stand guard over the tranquil river life.
