A definite must if you’re in Kunming. Take the high speed train to Shilin North where a bus will be awaiting to whisk you away to the national park entrance. Once there, get away from the (rather overbearing) crowds with shrill guides and walk the wilderness in your own. The Deep and Narrow Valley is the most striking feature where hardly any tourists make it to.

The Stone Forest began its formation more than 270 million years ago, it is now listed in World Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO. The area was long ago covered by an ancient sea that deposited thousands of meters of calciferous shells that would one day become limestone and dolomite. This deep layer was later uplifted and weathered to become the stone forest (UNESCO, 2025) . Major stone forest is made up of steel-gray huge stone peaks while the minor forest are smaller and sparser stone peaks, the famous one is the Legend of Ashima (a brave girl fighting for freedom and was turned into stone).

Probably you can spend around 3hrs to walk around this area. There are some amazing stone creature and view. There is one look out point you can see beautiful scenery. From entrance to the park you will need to walk around 3km, advise to pay certain amount of money get into buggy let them take you there. Recommended to tourist ..

A UNESCO site, 5A graded by the government. It spans over a huge plot of land and all are naturally formed. A really magnificent site. I went in the early morning but it was already very crowded with tourists and locals. You wouldn’t get a chance to take photos as the locals will just jostle their way through. Sadly, smoking and spitting is a common sight even in the UNESCO site.

The **Stone Forest Scenic Area** is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Yunnan, China, famous for its spectacular karst landscape. It features thousands of towering limestone pillars, formed over millions of years, creating a breathtaking "stone forest." What makes it special are its unique rock formations, caves, and underground rivers, showcasing nature’s artistry. Iconic spots like the "Ashima" rock and "Sword Peak Pond" also reflect the culture of the local Yi people. Visitors can wander through the maze-like stone formations, marvel at the geological wonders, and experience ethnic traditions. Whether for nature lovers or cultural explorers, the Stone Forest offers an unforgettable journey.

The fantastic stone forest is a unesco heritage site. The scenic area is huge and require at least 3 hours to explore the essentials, and 3 days to poke into every nook and cranny. Along the way, there are performances of native tribes.

One of the most gorgeous lime stone formation globally (270 Million - 218 Million Years old).

This is the smaller stone forest ("Naigu"), not the famous big one. Which means we were almost alone there. There are several cool trails. We actually got a bit lost, so it is not that small at all! There is a lot to discover and it was beautiful. A hidden gem 😍 Tickets can be bought at the entrance. We went there and back with a Didi, no problem at all.

Nice scenery.

Made by natural.

Ahai and Ashima, a love story!!

Lovely

Nice scenery

(Translated by Google) It is a small stone forest. When I went there, there were about 5,000 people in the scenic area, with a daily limit of 10,100 people. I strolled among the ancient historical relics and felt the magic of nature. (Original) 一处小众的石林，我去的时候景区有5000人左右，每天限额1.01万人，漫步在远旧的历史遗迹中感受着大自然的神奇。

If you are coming from Kunming , you would need to take a bus (25 RMB , 1 hr) from Kunming eastern bus station (located at Kunming east coach subway station) to Yiliang county bus station first , followed by taking bus 21 (10 RMB, 1 hr 10 min) to Jiu Xiang cave ticketing office. The ticketing office is 5 km away from the actual cave itself. At the ticketing office , you are expected to buy a trip package that include some activities such as watching a 10 min video and a boat ride to bring you to the cave and back. As such , if you only wish to visit the cave directly, there is no transportation to bring you over. It is almost impossible to find a car by ride-hailing as well. Hence, it is important to plan your time so that you enough time to do the whole trip package if you do not have your own transportation. There is a ticketing office here as well but they only sell the entrance ticket (60 RMB) and a chair-lift ride (30 RMB) to return back here. The cave itself is large and there are coloured lights to beautify the rocks. There are also some sections showing the prehistoric time on earth and another about the mythical aspect of the cave but you would need to pay (30 RMB each) if you wish to visit them. There is also a sedan chair service offered if your legs are getting tired for a fee. There are also some souvenir shops and eateries in the cave complex. There is also a fun slide (30 RMB) to go to the lower levels of the cave when you reach the upper levels. The floor is wet as the water drips from the rocks above so do be careful. The duration to tour the cave would be about 2 to 3 hours. You would need to climb up some steps at the end of the walk in the cave followed by taking a chair-lift ride back to the ticketing office.

It was an amazing experience visiting this treasure from mother nature. First of all, we began with a short boat ride at the bottom of the canyon. Then we walked through naturally carved caves and admired at the stalactites. It's enormous inside and you find river through the caves and water dribbling through the rocks and even giant waterfalls inside. The final cable ride that took us a out of the caves was an unforgettable experience as the view was stunning. Beware, it's gonna be long day with a lot of stairs. The walk took us 2-3 hours in total.

It's worth climbing hundreds of step to see all this amazing scenery.

We had Starbucks coffee inside the lion cave. The information sign posted wasn't helpful and we had difficulty locating our next stop after our coffee break. At the beautiful twin waterfalls, a photographer was there to take your photograph. Like most places in China, you then have to pay for the photo if you like it. The last stretch was more than 300 steps of uphill climb, which can be tiring for some. They have sedan chairs for hire at 30 yuan if you need help. Then you take a cable car to exit the park.

Thousands steps to finish this cave,quite good. On the exit,u'll find fruit sellers, and it's a 'must try'. They sells many kinds of fruit,so fresh and not expensive. On the exit,u may also take cable car.

A rockscave place that located at Jiuxiang, which had been in a movie call The Legend (神话) act by Jackie Chan. There was a huge waterfall that made me impress and the rocks cave have lots of different shape and size that through by water, oxygen and time. A wonderful place to explore and I like the trekking part and cable car part. Can see it t JIUXIANG WHOLE SCENERY!

Known as the "museum of karst caves", Jiuxiang boasts more than 100 karst caves and is the largest cave group system in China

its just magnificent. the mountains, the fields, the ambience, just so magical. definitely a must visit spot. staying in a hotel in the area is a must so you get to enjoy the place fully. waking up to this view is really unforgettable.

This is an area with plenty of beautiful views of rice terraces from a higher elevation. Further inside is the Wanfeng lake where boat rides are available. Overall it’s an enjoyable and pleasant experience.

Very eye catchy karst topography! Stunning view! Hiker-friendly trails.

Really a fantastic geographical visit there. The view is similar to the one in GuiLin YangShuo(桂林阳朔).

Here for MTOS, air quality is good... superb scenery

Must visit, the best months are FEB and SEP. Stunning view of nature.

Good

Scenic area with plenty of waterfalls, rocky cliffs, and generally spectacular views. Be prepared for a physically challenging hike, those who are not fit should not attempt the whole journey.

the place is magical. the walking path along the river bank allows you to enjoy nature's amazing work up close. however it can get super crowded during peak times and the wait times for the elevator can get really long, so avoid going during peak holidays!

When i arrived in early March, its quite dry. The waterfalls are so soft and water level is low. The fun and tiring part is walkway. Come and see how natures show its manificience.

Nice tourist spot

Great~!!!

(Translated by Google) If you travel here during the rainy season, the waterfalls are magnificent and you can see more waterfalls. However, it is recommended to wear comfortable and non-slip shoes and a hat. You can buy an elevator to go up and down to save energy and to see the beautiful waterfalls along the canyon. (Original) 雨季來此旅遊，瀑布氣勢磅薄，且可多看到一些瀑布，但建議穿舒服防滑的鞋子，且戴個帽子，可購買電梯上下行，省得體力，方便在峽谷邊一路看瀑布美景

(Translated by Google) A wonderful discovery. It's possible to take an early morning flight between Guiyang and Xingyi and visit Maling and Wanfenling in two days (returning on the evening of the second day). I highly recommend this enchanting place. (Original) Tres belle découverte. Il est possible de prendre un vol entre Guiyang et Xingyi tôt le matin et visiter maling et wanfenling en 2 jours (retour le soir du 2nd jour). Je recommande cet endroit enchanteur.

Impressive waterfall in a nature reserve with lots of hiking tracks. You can walk around the waterfall and even go under it. There was a lot of watermist when I was there and I wondered what the quality of the water was. Some women dressed up in traditional dress and had their photo taken in front of the waterfall.

Private hire to this nature of wonder. Prerp yourself raincoat if you don't want to be wet when walking the 水莲洞. Is a route that you might get partial wet as you will experience walking inside the waterfall. When for this spot on last day of Aug. Off peak but still alot of people. Bought the ticket that cover the 3 scenic spot. But only went for this spot. Recommend to include escalator package so walk a little lesser. Tracking shoe is recommended for the walk.

Absolutely breathtaking experience. Highly recommend going through the Water Curtain Cave instead of the regular experience. Requires a time slot reservation. Bring a rain coat; it costs 2 RMB at the dozens of stalls outside of the ticket office. ID is required. Admission costs around 270-310 RMB, and gives you unlimited access to the scenic area for ten days. Opens from 7 AM to around 6 PM.

One of the best nature scenery in Guizhou. The park is very big and consisted of many trails. Great for nature lovers. The trails are well maintained so all you need is stamina to walk them. It can be very crowded during the peak season.

The Huangguoshu Waterfall is Widely recognized as China's largest and most beautiful, this 5A-rated waterfall captivates visitors with its spectacular light shows. It's a beloved destination for both locals and tourists.

This spot absolutely deserves a 5 star rating. The waterfalls especially the Silver Necklace Fall is jaw dropping in its beauty and uniqueness. The Shuilian cave behind the waterfall is also a must see. This area was very crowded when my group arrived ( mid May ), and the jostling to take the perfect shot can sometimes be annoying. The whole walk around took several hours and could be challenging for those who are not fit.

We visit the Huangguoshu Waterfall in the Huangguoshu National Park in Zhenning County, Guizhou. It boasts the largest waterfall in Asia. A bus takes us to the area where the falls are. But we find out that we cannot purchased our entry tickets here. The driver tells us to get back on the bus and we purchase tickets for ¥200 each in the nearby village. The ticket price includes the bus ride to three attractions. Today, we visit two, the Huangguoshu falls (黄果树大瀑布）first, and the Doupotang falls next. The whole visit to the bigger falls take over two hours, including the loop walk to the Water-Curtain Cave (水帘洞 in Chinese), a 134 m long cave located at the back of the Huangguoshu Falls. It allows visitors to not only view, but hear and touch the waterfalls. Huangguoshu, it is claimed,  is the only waterfall in the world that can be viewed from above, below, front, back, left and right. During the peak season, the waiting time to enter this cave can range from 15 minutes to much longer. Visitors can only walk in one direction. The whole loop starting from near the Rhino Pool can take an hour. A cheap poncho is provided, and you can bring an umbrella, to keep dry. Bring enough drinking water and snacks as there are no provisions. Toilets are strategically provided. Beware of the risks of falls as the cement path is very slippery.

This nearly 2 mile long cave is one of the biggest in the world. The walk up to the cave is beautiful but it is nothing compared to the inside of the cave. A lot of infrastructure has been put into the accessibility of the cave. Most of the walking paths are flat concrete and the stairs all have railings for safety. Lights have been placed in key areas to show off the beautiful natural features of the cave system. There is no need to bring a flashlight as there is enough light provided along the path such that there is nothing to worry about. It can be difficult to get to this location based on how far into the interior it is, but if you can find a way to visit the Geopark this is a must see in the interior of China.

The Chinese have done it right! There is a grand opening to the cave and the stalactites, those icicle-shaped formations that hang from the ceiling are plentiful. You circumvent the stalagmites rising from the ground with ease. It's a 2-hour excursion you won't forget.

Great limestone cave

The caves themselves are absolutely massive and impressive, but our visit in August was very difficult. With the holiday crowds, there were just too many people to enjoy the experience properly. For anyone with mobility issues, this place is not suitable – one of our group had a knee problem and struggled from the very beginning, as there are around 6 km of stairs going up and down. Facilities are also poor. Toilets are limited, and at one point we saw parents using rubbish bins for their children, which was quite unpleasant. You need to be physically prepared for this visit. We had booked a boat trip as part of the experience but gave up after seeing an hour-long wait. While the caves themselves are impressive, I would strongly advise against going in August or if you’re not in good physical condition.

(Translated by Google) Zhijin Cave National Geopark, Zhijin County, Bijie, Guizhou, China (Zhijin County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province, China) is located in Bijie City, 120km from Guiyang City. It is 110km away from Anshun City. Jikgeumdong, a UNESCO Global Geopark, is the most beautiful and strange in China and is called the king of caves. It is considered the best to the extent that there is a saying that when you look at Huangshan Mountain, you do not see a mountain, and when you look at Jikgeumdong, you do not see a cave. It has 3 floors and is spacious (6.6km long, 175m wide, 100m high) and has stalagmites in the cave. About 40 types of karst sediments, including stone columns, are piled up to form a thousand shapes. Yeongbin Hall (迎賓館) is 200 meters long and the inside is full of moss. Sunlight comes in through a 10m round window on the ceiling and illuminates the cave floor. When you enter Jikgeum-dong, you will see the Underground Pagoda Forest, a forest of pagoda-shaped rocks. Cheolsan Clouds, reminiscent of a hazy fairyland, and Baekcheok Suryeom, pouring down with great force.百尺垂帘) Reminiscent of the moon country Gwanghangung (廣寒宮), a mystical palace in the sky, Yeongsojeon (靈霄殿), etc. unfold and create admiration. In the small hall next to Yeongbin Hall (迎賓館), there is a 10m high stalactite, which is a mushroom that forms after a nuclear bomb explodes. Because it is shaped like a cloud, it is called Mushroom Cloud Hall. Ganggyeongdang is shaped like a Bodhisattva sitting on a rock in a cave and preaching Buddhist teachings. In Taplim-dong, about 100 pagodas gather together to form a spectacular sight. The dazzling yellow stone pagoda is 30 meters tall. The tower divides the cave into 11 halls, and between them, stalactites of different shapes, such as stalagmites, stone pillars, and stone draperies, are scattered and harmonious. Mangsan-dong is the center of Jikgeum-dong and has an underground lake 170m long and 40m wide, from which you can easily go to other attractions. Black stalactites grow on the lakeside, and among them, the 10m high stalactite is shaped like an iron tree. The tree is full of black stone beads, and one side of the beads is white, so it is called a silver flower. Mangsan-dong If you go up the steep hill to the east, go around 18 bends and 27 corners, then climb 441 steps and pass through Namcheonmun Gate. If you enter Yeongsojeon and climb the 422 stairs to the west, you will pass through Bukcheonmun (北天門) and enter Gwanghangung Palace. On the inner wall of Yeongsojeon (靈秀殿), there is a 100-cheek-high multi-colored stone pillar hanging, giving it the feeling of a heavenly palace. Gwanghangung Palace (400m long, 100m wide, 70m high) has steep mountains and a pond between the mountains. At the edge of the pond, a 60m tall stone tree full of stone reishi mushrooms grows, creating a spectacular sight.                                     Gangnam District is divided into four parts: Bangkok Corridor, Beihai Ridge, Banquet Hall, and Gangnam District. The Bangkok Corridor is lined with strange and colorful stalactites, and the banquet hall is spacious and well-structured. It is flat and dry, making it great for taking a break during the tour. It's a place. The Bukhae Ridge has a winding stone embankment shaped like a dragon and is lined with stalactites, while Gangnamtaeguk has a rural scenery with flowing water and lakes and rice fields. The length of Jikgeum-dong (Jikgeum County, Bije City, Guizhou Province) is 6.6 km, and it takes approximately 2 to 3 hours. Information boards at important points provide explanations in Chinese, English, and Korean, so there is no major inconvenience even without a guide. There is also a portable emergency toilet installed somewhere in the middle.   Jikgeum-dong entrance fee is 110 yuan (3~11)/100 yuan (12~1), train ticket is 20 yuan, and opening time is 08:30~ (Original) 직금동(织金洞国家地质公园,  Zhijin Cave National Geopark, Zhijin County, Bijie, Guizhou, China,중국 귀주성 비제시 직금현,贵州省 畢節市 织金县)은 비제시에 위치하며 귀양시에서120km 안순시에서110km거리에 있다.

(Translated by Google) The caves are large and varied in shape. They are magical and charming. They are unforgettable and memorable. They are worthy of being the best cave in the world. For example: the deep love between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the pillar of strength, and the salvation of all living beings... It is truly a natural wonder and is indeed the number one geological wonder in China. The cave is 6.7 kilometers long, and the scenery changes with each step. The natural landscape is made in heaven and earth. It is very shocking and worth visiting. It is a national 5A geological park. This name is definitely not deserved. Marvel at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.

(Translated by Google) Zhijin Cave, formerly known as Daji Cave, is the most unique and largest cave discovered in mainland China. Located in the karst landform area, it is also the most beautiful tourist cave in mainland China. The tour route of the entire cave scenic area is a one-way walking route, and you cannot go back! So once you enter the cave, you must walk the entire way. After exiting, you can take an environmentally friendly battery car back to the entrance of the scenic area.

This is an ancient town that deserves good attention. One can visit this place after popping by 夜郎谷, as it is nearby. Recommend to get there by e-hailing service. One will have to make a nominal fee payment to access the ancient town, a decision you will not regret. For those who have not visited the great wall in Beijing, this is just as good and not congested.

A commercial ancient town full of ethnic characteristics. There are historical buildings about ethnicity and religion, and there are also many local snacks full of characteristics. However, there are many places full of commercial travel photography, which is worth a try.

Historical Old Town. One of many tourist attractions and local. You can rent a dress for men and women to show more authenticity with the scenery of the historical Old Town.

This is one of the main tourist attraction in Guizhou Ptovince. It is quite impressive how china blend modernity with their culture. This is very big area. Actually ,it needs a full day to explore every thing. You can buy chinese souvenirs, flower tea and other goods here. Only motor bycicles an be used inside the premises.

The old town is currently doing some revamping in order to get a 5A rating for tourist attraction. Even though it is rather commercialized, it's still worth a visit and night's stay. Come out early in the morning before most shops are open to enjoy the tranquillity of your walk around the town. There is also a wall surround the north and west of the town which you can climb for aerial view of the town. The rose products like rose sweets and rose syrup are very popular.糕耙稀饭 (Gao Ba Xi Fan) is a must try too.

Very relaxing on Monday. There's an entrance fee.

This was a nearby day trip for us. Once we finally found the city wall and old section inside it was much more interesting! Quite touristy but most of these old towns are. Gardens are not any where near as nice as Lijiang. The Le You Jue Guan Pub was very nice with the owner singing and playing guitar for us. Almost the only thing open late!

A public park where you can see monkey, panda, tiger and other animals. Wear comfortable shoes to walk around this park since one complete round will cover up to 5km walk and a bit of hike up.

Very nice park(黔灵公园) in the city. Only costed ¥5 to get in. Lots of trees that were hundred years old. Spacious relaxing squares inside the park for people just come and practice Taichi or dancing. Qianling (黔灵湖）is at the foot of the mountain. You can rent a boat and float around. Enjoy the nice cool Summer here. Climb to the mountain top is the Hongfushi ( 弘福寺). An old shrine that carries people’s prayers . When you heard the chanting accompanied by the low ring of bell, you could almost feel the connections between heaven and earth.

The Qianling Shan Park is nice, but the location mark was completely wrong. The photo attached to this marking is for Quanling Shan Park. If using this marking, we ended up pay 40RMB extra. Plus, the taxi driver not even know that it is different tourist spot.

There are panda

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful park surrounding the lake. During the Spring Festival, the management office will prepare a lot of dead trees and branches and firewood, so that people can collect firewood to attract wealth. (Original) ㄧ個環湖的漂亮公園，每逢春節管理處就會準備很多枯樹支枯柴，讓人家檢柴招財進寶

(Translated by Google) Qianling Park in Guiyang is like a Madrid retreat, but on a larger scale, with mountains, rivers, a zoo, a cable car, monkeys, and much more. Avoid going during the week because it's usually very crowded on weekends. (Original) Qianling Park en Guiyang es como el retiro en Madrid pero a lo grande, con montañas, rios, zoo, teleferico, monos y mucho mas. Evita ir entre semana porque en fin de semana suele haber muchisima gente.

(Translated by Google) It's a nice park right in the city. There are a lot of people there during the Dragon Boat Festival. However, the scenic spot is very big and there aren't many people on the mountain. It's just a bit dangerous. Many of the fences are in disrepair. Watch out for monkeys and keep your distance. The scenery is indeed great. It would be even better if the weather is good, and the tickets are cheap, only 5 yuan.

There is no ticket office anymore. Instead, you buy the ticket using their app which only supports 身份证 numbers.

There are two floors in total, five or six exhibition halls, which are very small. They mainly introduce the history, culture, skills and medical treatment of the Miao people. There are not many physical displays, mainly in the form of text and pictures. There is nothing to see. Many people come here not to visit, but to rest when they are tired.

You Must come here

Fanjingshan, a sacred mountain in Guizhou Province, China, was designated a UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site in 2018. For centuries, it has been revered as a holy place, particularly by Buddhists who believe it to be the site of the Maitreya Buddha's enlightenment. Originally constructed during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the Fanjingshan Temple complex underwent reconstruction in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). The complex comprises two main temples: the Temple of the Buddha, dedicated to Sakyamuni, and the Maitreya Temple, honoring the future Buddha. These temples, perched atop the Red Clouds Golden Summit, are connected by a stone bridge spanning the Gold Sword Gorge. Reaching the summit requires a challenging ascent of 8,888 steps or a less strenuous cable car ride. The journey rewards visitors with breathtaking views and a glimpse into the mountain's rich history and spiritual significance. Fanjingshan's isolation and diverse altitudes have fostered a unique ecosystem. The mountain is home to over 2,000 plant species, many of which are endemic or endangered. Additionally, it provides a habitat for various threatened animals, including the grey snub-nosed monkey and the Chinese giant salamander. Some of these species have origins dating back to the Tertiary period. To reach Fanjingshan, visitors typically travel to Tongren City. The city is accessible by air via Tongren Fenghuang Airport or by rail through Tongren South Railway Station. From Tongren, visitors can reach the mountain by taxi or bus. Regardless of the season, visitors are advised to prepare for varying weather conditions by packing warm clothing and waterproof gear.

This place reminds me of the Lego Ninjago temple.

Long before time had a name the first spinjitzu master created ninjago using four elemental weapons. but when he passed a dark presence sought to collect them all, Lord garmadon. So i, sensei wu, his brother sought out to find four ninja to collect them first

One of World's magical wonders !

Yes, it’s pretty - as long as it’s not misty. Which is it most of the time. Prepare for queueing of hours upon hours. If you decide to go anyhow, make sure you wake up at 7 and try and get tickets to even get in. It has gotten was to busy here to still be enjoyable. Note; if you want to climb all the way up to the temple, be sure to book a spot when you arrive! Or you’ll have to queue there another hour.

My.fanjing is amazing and very unique.I can see in the picture habitation at the top of mountain.I am intrigued how the people live at the top of the mountain and how they journey from the bottom of the mountain to the top.

Ancient town, nice to walk through old streets especially at dawn and Night. I recommend to take a boat to have a good look at the houses by the River. But many of them are rebuild.

Crowded,noisy,half the places are pubs & night clubs.So gawdy.

It is crazy beautiful. Book something along the riverside and enjoy.

It's a calm and sweet place. Night view is simply stunning.

Worth to visit the oldest ancient town in China.

Really beautiful old town. By night it's stunning thanks to the illumination of all buildings. However had to experience racial discrimination being told that white people can't access a historical attractions after having paid 10 euro of ticket entrance.

Nice city, nice view

Very beautiful old town with traditional style buildings. Have a slow stroll along river and take in the gorgeous riverside scenery. There are many shops along the main shopping street selling traditional snacks and local food as well as traditional handicrafts.

Fenghuang Bridge is a beautiful experience and a gorgeous place to explore. It is truly one of those places you have to visit at least once.

Very beautiful view, should come at night and stay here for 1 night and get up early in the morning to take pictures.

The ancient city of Phoenix is a place for the avid photographer The view from the river is enchanting and picturesque

One of the many beautiful bridges..

One of the beautiful bridges along Tuojiang river in Fenghuang. The ancient city is lively in the evening and very picturesque

Beautiful

Absolutely stunning wooden stilted houses along the green river that snakes along the valley. At night this gorgeously authentic indigenous village with it's serene boat rides transforms into a magically lit masterpiece. The town offers many eateries at reasonable prices and if you are willing to walk away from the main bridges, you can find a more peaceful village scene and nice homestays overlooking the river and pagodas. At night the transformation also includes the visitors all decked out in the indigenous clothing and of course posting photos for social media, which makes for a very interesting evening wandering through the town.

This FengHuang Ancient Town is even more magical at night, tastefully lit up. The city is full of life with both youngsters and elderly using the city as a stage to dress up in the ethnic costumes of the minority people of this place and parade themselves at each and every beautiful vista of this town with their personal photographer. Interesting and quaint shops abound all over the little alleyways. I would return here.

Came here in October and it was beautiful! I loved the scenery on the boat ride. It also looks amazing at night when the whole city lights up. However, many locals approach you every minute trying to sell professional photography, food or other things to you.

A well preserved ancient town within a modern city. Unlike other ancient towns in China, there is no entry fee. There are pedestrian paths on both sides of Toujiang river, about 2-3 kilometres long and connecting with many small alleys, especially on the southern side. At night, buildings along riverside are all lit up and there are a few performances on the river, igniting a festive vibe. There are many shops for traditional Miao costume as well as professional photos shooting services. Many women, young and old alike seemed to enjoy this activity. The town is worth staying for at least one night. Most people will combine visiting to this town in the Zhangjiajie multi-day trip itinerary. The town is easily accessible by high speed train.

Beautiful place to visit. At night, it gets very crowded, but the scenery is worth seeing. There are restaurants and shops, and costume rentals and photo opportunities are available. It's a really great experience.

A place to see buildings that come from a different time in china. The buildings here and the ancient town are amazing. I got here by train and took a taxi into the town. Very easy to do so even with out knowing that many words in chinese. The taxi driver called ahead and spoke to my hotel and the person at the hotel came out to greet me . This was great since I was staying in the ancient city part . He took me down the narrow streets and alley to the room. Two things you will find here besides the city are places to get dressed into period correct chinese clothing and food. There are lots of tours as well. But if you are able just exploring the city by yourself is great. Use alipay or wepay instead of cash or card.

Small ancient town similar to many other ancient towns in China. Stay for day and night the transformation is beautiful with the lights and performance along the river. Try on the miao ethnic costumes for photo opportunities. Not expensive and the the edited photos are nice.
