China Tourism - Ancient Fenghuang town
Ancient Fenghuang, a village in central China, used to be a frontier town, separating the Han civilization from the Miao and Dong minorities. It was an important regional center for trade and cultural exchange.
The riverside setting of the village, with its wooden stilt houses and narrow mysterious back alleys, makes it one of the most attractive places in the region.
These days, it has become a major tourist destination. While some traditions remain, much of the town has been set up to cater for the influx of new visitors, in some ways changing the face of the village beyond recognition.
Either way, Fenghuang provides an interesting glimpse of the many challenges and contrasts that exist in China today.

Top 10 Places to Visit in China - Travel Documentary
China is one of the most fascinating travel destinations in the world, and in this video I will share with you my personal top 10 best places to visit.
From the ruins of the Great Wall to vibrant megacities. From surreal mountain landscapes to charming riverside villages. Today’s China is a beautiful, complicated, and captivating place.
I spent more than 18 months in China, spread over the course of a decade and a half. In the last years, I started filming the places that I traveled to, using regular cameras and drones. All footage in this travel documentary is shot by myself between 2010 and 2019.
Here's a brief overview of the places in this video.
We start this journey in the stunning riverside village of Fenghuang in central China. The wooden stilt houses are a spectacular sight, and the backstreets are still filled with old world charm. We then continue to Harbin, best known for its Winter tourism. Millions of people usually flock here to visit the amazing Ice and Snow Festival, to admire beautiful sculptures and palaces.
Yangshuo is another spot not to miss, mostly for its mesmerizing mountain landscape of limestone peaks. It’s a great place to witness life in the countryside, and has a relaxed vibe. After Yangshuo we travel to Beijing, the nation’s capital city. The impressive Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven Park are two main highlights. And the nearby Great Wall of China is truly a sight to behold.
Zhangjiajie is the next destination on my list, and one of China’s most beautiful national parks. It formed the inspiration for the popular movie Avatar. You can get an aerial perspective from the many walkways, and don't miss out on the Glass Bridge here, if you dare at least. I continue my journey to Lhasa, the spiritual heartland of Tibet, and a place that left a deep impression on me. Take into a account that foreign travelers can only visit Tibet as part of a group tour.
Shanghai is a unique city with a jaw-dropping modern skyline, but also has some impressive historic architecture. It’s a busy place to visit, but also has many laidback neighborhoods and quiet streets. Yuanyang, on the other hand, is quintessential rural China, with an epic landscape of rice terraces. It’s a good place to meet some of the minorities living in the South of the country, and eat some local food.
I continue my travels in Qingdao, one of China’s most scenic coastal cities, located on the Yellow Sea. Many Chinese tourists come here to enjoy the beach and eat fresh seafood, but I was particularly impressed by the historic German buildings. I finish this journey in Hong Kong, easily one of my favorite cities in the world, and a perfect fusion between East and West.

10 Best Places to Visit in China - Travel Video
Check out all the places seen in this video:
China, the gateway to East Asia, is a fascinating country. It is an ancient civilization that gave the world Peking Man, gunpowder and noodles. Visitors making their first trip to China usually stick to the larger cities. More experienced visitors to the Middle Kingdom will strike out in other directions, where traveling may be a bit more frustrating because of the language barrier, but most definitely doable for independent travelers. Here’s a look at the best places to visit in China:
Top 10 Villages to Visit in China - Historic Towns and Countryside (Travel Video)
Welcome to China’s villages and historic towns. Often touted for its ever changing city skylines, China’s countryside shows a very different side of the country. From beautiful riverside villages to snow covered mountain towns. From mysterious tulou (earthen buildings) to awe-inspiring rice terraces. Traveling rural China can be an eye-opening experience.
I spent more than 18 months in China, spread over the course of a decade and a half. In the last years, I started filming the places that I traveled to, using regular cameras and drones. All footage in this travel video is shot by myself between 2010 and 2019.

Here’s a brief overview of the content in this video:
We start off this journey in Yuanyang, a spectacular mountain region where you can find some of the world’s most jaw-dropping rice terraces. Staying with local families is a great way to explore the area, filled with breathtaking landscapes and friendly villages.
Xuexiang is located in the North of China, and is mostly known for its extreme Winter weather, with freezing temperatures and layers of snow. It’s a popular tourist attraction and beautiful sight. The ‘tulou’ buildings in Fujian province are the next destination. These structures were used by the local Hakka people as defense against rivaling communities and bandits. While many still function as homes, some are now used as restaurants and hotels for tourists.
Lijiang is one of China’s most beautiful historic towns, with classic architecture and narrow lanes that can be explored for days. Nearby Dali is worth a visit for its incredible Three Pagodas and Buddhist temple. We travel onwards to Xiahe, a tranquil town just outside Tibet proper. Join monks and pilgrims on traditional koras, and soke up Tibetan culture.
Yangshuo, on the banks of the Li River, might be one of China’s most famous villages, surrounded by mesmerizing limestone hills and mountains. It also provides a good insight into farming life in the country (you can rent bicycles and motorcycles for nice day trips). Shaoshan is a somewhat odd place. It’s the birthplace of Mao Zedong, regarded as the founder of the People’s Republic. The village is a popular stop on the ‘Red Tourism’ trail, a government propaganda campaign.
Fenghuang is a stunning ancient village in the same Hunan province, with incredible architecture, including stone bridges and towers, stilt houses, and a city wall. The next spot on my list is Zhujiajao a popular ‘water town’, not far from Shanghai.
We finish this tour in Pingyao, perhaps the best preserved walled town (or small city) in the country. It used to be an important center of trade and finance, and it’s fascinating to walk the quiet neighborhoods and intriguing alleyways.

Fenghuang (Phoenix) Ancient Town, Most Beautiful Town in China | 4K HDR
Two years ago, I made my first video in the ancient city of Phoenix:
Two years later, I came to this beautiful ancient city again and recorded a new video from a different perspective.
Hope you enjoy this special edition of Fenghuang old town.
--------------------⭐⭐
Fenghuang Ancient Town Facts
---------------------⭐⭐
Situated in Hunan province, Fenghuang Ancient Town is one of the most famous old towns in China.
You can appreciate the antique flavor of this 300-year old town, feel the rich culture of the 28 minority ethnic groups, and explore the remaining traces of the famous historical figures and great writers.
Type: Ancient Town, Historical & Cultural Site, Ethnic Minority Place
Best Seasons: All Seasons
Recommended Visiting Time: 1-2 days
Opening Hours: all day long
--------------------⭐⭐
Why Visit Fenghuang Ancient Town?
--------------------⭐⭐
Located in the southwest of Tujia-miao Autonomous Prefecture of Xiangxi in Hunan province, Fenghuang Ancient Town or Phoenix Ancient Town is reputed as “the most beautiful town in China” and “Town in a Picture”.
Built in 1704, this old town was given the title of the “National AAAA Tourist Attraction” for its charming scenery of multiple ancient sites of towers, brides, streets, and other buildings as well as the rich culture of Miao, Tujia and other 26 minority ethnic groups.
You may be attracted by the simple but charming customs which are written in The Border Town to come to visit the place. But once you get here, you will find her charm is not limited to this. You can stroll on the bluestone paved lanes after the rain; take a boat to cruise on the Tuojiang River and appreciate the 100-year-old stilted building; climb on the ancient gate towers of the city and feel all the vicissitudes of the ancient city; watch the old woman washing clothes on the river banks calmly; or sit alone near the window in a coffee bar silently enjoying the exquisite scenery and letting your thoughts drift...... These may be the secrets of the charms of the ancient town.
It used to be a gathering place for politicians, warlords, chieftains, Miao minorities and bandits, which can be considered as a standard barbarian place.
Visiting this about 10 square kilometers wide ancient town, you will love it immediately and discover the mystery of its profound culture.
The ancient town of Fenghuang also means the Phoenix Town in China; it was described as the most beautiful town in China by the Zelanian writer Louis Aileen. The town is the only path between Huahua, Jishou (Hunan province) and Tongren (Guizhou province) and a must-visit place to enjoy the real amorous feelings of the west part of Hunan province.
The town is very small with only a main street; however, it is a green corridor and charming place. It is located on the river bank of Tuojiang River (Tuojiang, 沱江), the small town was once the rallying point for politicos, warlords, bandits, and the local Miao minority people, we should say it was once a standard barbarian land.
--------------------⭐⭐
Ranking as the top ancient town in China, Fenghuang Ancient Town is a guidebook for people to know the past life in the pre-modernization period.
The wooden houses and stone roads are the typical scenes here. When sightseeing in this town in a misty day, you will really find why it is so famous and popular all the time. The scenery after rain or in the misty morning is more like a Chinese traditional painting rather than a real world.
--------------------⭐⭐
Fenghuang Ancient Town, aka Phoenix Ancient Town and Feng Huang Gu Cheng in Chinese, is situated on the western boundary of Hunan Province in an area of outstanding natural beauty where mountains, water and blue skies prevail. 'Fenghuang' is Chinese for 'Phoenix', the mythical bird of good omen and longevity that is consumed by fire to be re-born again from the flames.
Fenghuang Ancient Town is so called as legend has it that two of these fabulous birds flew over it and found the Fenghuang Town so beautiful that they hovered there, reluctant to leave.

China, Like You've Never Seen — Wuhan, Zhangjiajie, Fenghuang, Changsha | The Travel Intern
Usually when we think of China, the first things that come to mind (well, at least for us at first) are the Great Wall of China, the Tiananmen Square, Shanghai’s bustling city… But that’s not all there is!
Check out our full itinerary across Wuhan, Zhangjiajie, Fenghuang and Changsha here:
WUHAN (00:35)
00:36 - Yellow Crane Tower
This is probably the most iconic sight in Wuhan, where local tourists and locals both come to visit all year round.
00:50 - Guiyuan Temple
One of the four largest meditation temples in Hubei province. It’s where people go to burn the first bunch of incense for the coming year, and also to pray for auspiciousness and safety.
00:57 - Moshan Scenic Area
If you ever need to get away from the hustle and bustle of the main city, this is the perfect place to head to in Wuhan.
01:17 - Hubu Alley
It’s not a visit to Wuhan if you don’t visit Hubu Alley, the alley full of breakfast food specialties of Wuhan! And it holds significance value to the city’s history too.
ZHANGJIAJIE (01:33)
01:35 - Avatar Mountains
Here, you get to behold the place that was a huge inspiration to the creation of Avatar’s Hallelujah Mountains landscape. It’s super crowded though, so be prepared!!
01:43 - Bailong Elevator
The world’s tallest and heaviest outdoor lift surely deserves a feature. It’s actually one of the only ways to get from Yuanjiajie area to Wulingyuan, so do take note if you’re travelling to and fro the destinations.
02:02 - Tianzi Mountain
One of the best sunrise spots in Zhangjiajie, Tianzi Mountain area is one of the more hidden, less crowded spots in Zhangjiajie National Park.
02:09 - Imperial Brush Peaks
Watch as the fog lifts in the early morning, revealing these rock formations that line up like brush tips.
02:16 - Baofeng Lake
After a looooong day out exploring ZJJ, this lake ride is what you need to rest your weary feet.
02:24 - Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge
You’d have probably seen videos of people acting like the world’s gonna end while they’re shaking on this glass bridge. It’s actually not scary, considering how there are so many people on the bridge you don’t really think about the height.
*DO SET ASIDE 3 HOURS for this entire glass bridge experience though, because after going past the bridge, you have to walk through a pretty long way through the forest below. It’s pretty damn scenic and you’d probably be snapping photos non-stop.*
02:50 - Tianmen Mountain
Tianmen Mountain is down in the main city of Zhangjiajie, not in the region of Zhangjiajie National Park. There are even more glass bridges to cross ;-)
FENGHUANG (03:08)
03:11 - Fenghuang Village
Ancient, historic city by day, crazy party land by night. Truly an experience, if you ask me.
CHANGSHA (03:23)
03:26 - Juzizhou AKA Orange Isle
If you search for ‘Changsha’ in Google, or any search engine, this would probably pop up as the iconic landmark of the city. Learn about Mao’s history and background here!
03:42 - Yuelu Shan AKA Mount Yuelu
Just like in Wuhan, Yuelu Shan offers the ultimate getaway from the bustling city.
04:00 - Meixihu International Culture & Arts Center
It almost feels like you’ve stepped into another planet, honestly…
04:14 - Huangxing Walking Road
We spent many nights here, eating, shopping, eating, eating, eating and more eating. Freaking AMAZING food found all along this stretch of road that goes on for kilometres… Be sure to try their specialties!
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT, China like you’ve never seen!!!

Fenghuang (Phoenix Ancient Town), Hunan, China
To donate to this channel, please use the link below, thank you.
Fenghuang County (simplified Chinese: 凤凰县; traditional Chinese: 鳳凰縣; pinyin: Fènghuáng Xiàn; literally: phoenix county) is under the administration of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan province, China, bordering the prefecture-level cities of Huaihua to the southeast and Tongren (Guizhou) to the west. It has an exceptionally well-preserved ancient town that harbors unique ethnic languages, customs, arts as well as many distinctive architectural remains of Ming and Qing styles. The town is placed in a mountain setting, incorporating the natural flow of water into city layout. Over half of the city's population belong to the Miao or Tujia minorities. It was the centre of the unsuccessful Miao Rebellion (1854–73), which created a Miao diaspora in Southeast Asia during the last two centuries. The city is revered in Miao traditions and funeral rites and is the location of the Southern China Great Wall (中国南方长城; 中國南方長城; Zhōngguó Nánfāng Chángchéng; Miao: Suav Tuam Choj), a fortification built by the Ming dynasty to protect the local Han Chinese from Miao attacks.
