Nestled in Hunan Province, Fenghuang Ancient Town is renowned for its exceptional building preservation, earning it a reputation as one of China's most beautiful ancient towns. Dating back to 1704, the town has many well-preserved ancient buildings that embody the architectural styles of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, harmoniously blending influences from diverse ethnic groups. Serving as a vibrant cultural center, it attracts and embraces the Miao, Han, Tujia, and other ethnic communities.

The Tuojiang River gracefully winds through the ancient city, akin to a shimmering jade ribbon, infusing the surroundings with a vibrant energy from dawn till dusk.
