Yongshun Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

High-speed rail direct! The thousand-year-old ancient town hanging on the waterfall made me cry!

I have been watching the waterfall in the mountains for a long time, always fantasizing about being able to live in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, as if it is a real paradise ^_^ In front of us in China, there is indeed such a place that can realize this wish. This is an ancient and pleasant border town that has experienced a thousand years of history, surrounded by water and the waterfall runs through the entire town. When night falls, the scattered lights are like a galaxy in the world, and the dreamy waterfall is even more colorful. This land once became famous because of a movie by famous director Xie Jin, and was renamed for this reason. This place is Furong Town in Xiangxi, Hunan, a severely underestimated niche attraction. Take advantage of the good season of autumn, why not pack up and set off! If you choose high-speed rail , you can get off at the "Furong Town" high-speed rail station, and then take a taxi for a few minutes to arrive, or drive to the "Furong Town Tourist Service Center" or "Furong Town Scenic Area Tianze Parking Lot" (the latter requires a ticket purchase first). The ticket price is 108 yuan/person, valid for 3 days, unlimited entry and exit. The recommended tour route is the entrance of the scenic spot ➡️ Baitang ➡️ Xizhou Copper Column ➡️ Tuwang Bridge ➡️ Tingtao Road Ancient Street ➡️ Guanpu Terrace Yinan Theater ➡️ Huashao Camping Base ➡️ Chushu Tongjin ➡️ Furong Town Big Waterfall ➡️ Viewing Gallery Bridge ➡️ City Gate Wharf ➡️ Wuli Stone Street ("Furong Town" movie location, Liu Xiaoqing's tofu shop) The special performance time is 9:00-22:00, the scenic spot continuously performs "Flowers Bloom and Furong·Bisca's Carnival", allowing you to appreciate the charm of the Tujia culture. The viewing platform at night is a night view not to be missed. The lights start at 19:30, and you can check in with the same pose as Yang Mi. In terms of accommodation, the price of homestays in the peak season is slightly expensive, and the price of waterfall-viewing rooms is above 350 yuan; accommodation outside the scenic area is more affordable, and parking is also more convenient. In terms of food, there are all kinds of special Xiangxi pickles, Liu Xiaoqing's tofu, stir-fried bamboo shoots, hot and sour noodles, rice wine, osmanthus fish, bacon, etc. In addition, the directly operated Tufeng Miaoyun Boutique Shop in the scenic area (opposite the Furong Grand View at the entrance of the scenic area) provides special products with Xiangxi style, such as secret T-shirts, sunny and rainy umbrellas, silverware, dolls, etc.

Day view at Furong Town☀️

📍Getting to Furong Town - Go to Zhangjiajie bus station and buy a direct bus ticket for 40¥, they provided us a small van service which was more convenient! 🚐 After getting there, enjoy the beautiful views from one of the rooftops, explore the narrows streets and have at least one night to see the stunning town full of lights, it’s even more stunning!🌟 . . . #scenicspotguide #seasidephotoguide #staycation #summervacation #createwithtrip #china #chinalife #couplestrip #hunan #ancientlandmark

Furongzhen

Getting to Furongzhen is easy enough though requires several steps if you don't have your own cae. Coming from Zhangjiajie we took a Didi, the high speed rail and then a taxi to the town. You then have to do the reverse to get back. We actually had to have someone call us a taxi from the scenic area since they aren't readily available and there aren't Didi's there. The attraction itself is pretty great. There are a few hiking trails and the one under the waterfall is pretty cool. We also hiked along the cliffs for a great view of the town and waterfall. There are countless restaurants and shops so you could probably spend the whole day there if you we're into that sort of thing, though be ready to pay for it! Foreigners need there passports to enter but it's easy enough otherwise. We have an 8 month old and brought our striller which was a mistake since there are lots and lots of stairs. If you have a little one I'd suggest bring some kind of baby carrier. Overall, a worthwhile daytrip from Zhangjiajie.#furongzhen #daytrip

this town is unreal, like I'm in Chinese movie scene date back im 2000 years ago. i had really great time here everyone is so friendly even they can't speak English. I travel alone from Thailand i feel like Thailand 10-20 years ago. you should come and check it out Furongzhen ancient town.

Furongzhen Night Scenery

This place probably has the prettiest night scenery I have ever seen, you can find many cheap hotel for around 100 Yuan per night. I visited it after Zhangjiajie and it's actually just 30 minutes by high speed train from Zhangjiajie, so it's a good idea to visit both places in one trip if you go to Hunan province. I think this is one of those places that you should definitively visit if you come to China.

Living above the waterfall ‖ Wonderful!

Finding a larger hotel among a bunch of famous ones is really not easy, we came by high-speed train and they offer a pick-up service, the guy who picked us up was also very enthusiastic, which is very much worth mentioning. The hotel's decoration is very modern, the rooms are equipped with full voice control which is very convenient, and there's also a projector in the room. It's nice for friends who don't want to go out to lie in bed and watch a movie, and the central air conditioning is also very powerful. The public leisure area upstairs is quite nice too. You can also gather around the stove to brew tea, there are some popular photo-taking and check-in facilities, and the view of the waterfall at night is really good! The outdoor hot spring pool is simply too comfortable to soak in for half an hour after a tiring walk around the scenic area at night. Downstairs, there is a local Hunan cuisine restaurant with reasonable prices and good taste, and they can deliver meals to your room, so you don't have to worry about finding food or stepping into tourist traps. As for the scenic area, the night view is pretty beautiful, but because it's the dry season, the waterfall doesn't have much water, so it's just so-so during the day. At night, there are performances to watch, all of which are Tujia ethnic folk performances.

Furong Town Twelve Cities Hot Spring Hotel

Ever since history, it's the most satisfying hotel I've ever stayed in🏨 I booked this hotel on Ctrip, thinking of taking a taxi from the high-speed rail station to the hotel. To my surprise, the hotel butler contacted me in advance to offer a pick-up from the high-speed rail. They arranged a 7-seater car and even helped us carry our luggage all the way to our room. The hotel environment is nice, and you can enjoy a free hot spring on the rooftop and they also offer free snacks as shown in picture 9⃣️. Any items needed, just a phone call away, and a robot will deliver them promptly. The hotel provides a special shuttle service to and from the Furong Town scenic area, with excellent service. The attitude is also very good👍. I highly recommend this Twelve Cities Hot Spring♨️ Hotel.

Therefore, they worship the ancestors, so they are called ancestors. Most of the ancestors have the characteristics of primitive society, and only a few reflect the phenomenon after class differentiation.
