[2025 Yongshun Hotels] Travel Guide for Xuanyuan Viewing Courtyard B&B (Furong Town Scenic Area Branch) (Updated Jul)

Who can truly understand it? I visited Furong Town and was completely captivated. This is no ordinary town; it feels like Shen Congwen's vivid depiction of Western Hunan has come to life 🎨 🌙 Night Tour of the Ancient Town: Immersive Light-Chasing As night falls, stroll along the cobblestone paths. The stilted buildings are bathed in warm yellow lights, reflected on the banks of the You River like spilled liquid gold. The waterfall crashes down from the cliff 💦, surrounded by purple-blue hues. Mist mingles with the night air, brushing against your face—it feels like stepping into a fantasy film set. Folk music drifts from riverside bars, and even the evening breeze sways gently. 🌿 Day Tour of Ancient Residences: Reclaiming Old Times During the day, wander into the deep alleys and old courtyards. Carved wooden windows, moss-covered brick walls, bamboo shadows on rocking chairs— find a random terrace, brew a cup of tea 🍵, and watch the distant green mountains and scattered rooftops slowly sway. Time seems to slow down, as if the town has cast a "slow living spell." 🍜 Culinary Adventures: The Flavorful World of Smoke and Fire Start your morning with a bowl of rice tofu—tangy and appetizing. For lunch, savor some mugwort cakes, soft and fragrant with the scent of wormwood. Dinner by the riverside means feasting on Tujia-style fish, so fresh you'll lick your fingers. The ginger candy sold by elderly women on the street is so sweet it warms your heart. Even the air carries the happiness of "good food and good company" 🥢. 📸 Pro Tips for Stunning Photos! ▫️ Waterfall Viewing Platform: Use flash at night—the mist will make your hair glow ethereally. ▫️ Ancient Alley Corners: Sunlight filtering through branches creates dramatic silhouettes. ▫️ Stilted Building Terraces: Dress in Hanfu or Miao attire for an instant time-travel vibe. ▫️ Morning Docks: Fishing boats in the mist come with a cinematic filter. Two days in Furong Town felt far too short. The lights hidden in the night, the breeze in the old courtyards, and the ginger candy handed over by the elderly woman... It’s like the "romance of Western Hunan" has quietly taken root in my heart 🌿. I’ll definitely return next time! #FurongTown #WesternHunanTravel #AncientTownWander #TravelRecommendations #HiddenGems

In the winter courtyard, make tea around the stove - meet the Xuanyuan B&B, meet someone under the rainbow, by the You River. Meet a B&B in mysterious Xiangxi, in Furong Town. Before the winter snow arrives, move a chair and sit in the warm sun and doze off, a pot of hot tea is boiling, and a small "smoke" rises, the most beautiful thing in the world is this. I look at the scenery in the world, and the scenery is like a person in the scenery. Furong Town is a bit deserted in winter, but Xuanyuan is full of warmth. I was lucky to find this B&B and met the enthusiastic and honest owner. From the moment I booked the room, the young man started the customized butler service, taking care of everything, and even took me to a secret place. He helped explain and take photos along the way, and the young man was actually a photography major, and the photos he took were very good. The young lady in the store was also kind and lovely, and she even made tea for me. I felt the warmth from Xuanyuan in winter~

1. The location is super convenient: the B&B is located in the ancient town, only a five-minute walk from the core waterfall and less than two minutes from the bus stop. There are supermarkets and restaurants next to the B&B. 2. The front desk environment is very unique: the entrance of the homestay is a check-in spot, because there are flowers and plants planted on both sides, which echo the stone walls. The homestays are all made of wooden structures. You can smell the unique wood fragrance as soon as you enter the door. The housekeeper has thoughtfully prepared a lot of delicious snacks and fruits. So thoughtful! 3. Super distinctive guest rooms: When you open the door, you will find the room is antique and has a balcony where you can enjoy the night view and drink tea. The floors are well-arranged, making them a great place for taking photos. 4. Thoughtful anti-mosquito measures: The homestay has two-story staggered courtyards with many succulents and orchids planted in the courtyard. The rooms are equipped with electric mosquito coils, and the housekeeper will also thoughtfully do mosquito extermination work in advance. In summer, the housekeeper will turn on the air conditioner in the room in advance, which is very considerate. 5. The room facilities are complete: dry and wet separation, free tea table, and the bathing products are very easy to use, and you will not feel uncomfortable after washing. By the way, the store also provides the store’s special freshly brewed tea, which is very delicious. An ancient town, a small courtyard, giving you the warmest company ~ Xuanyuan View Courtyard B&B (Furong Town Scenic Area Branch)
