Fenghuang(Phoenix town) is a town out of time. Hemmed in by rolling mountains and watered by a smoothly flowing river, flagstone streets, rows of traditional wooden houses built on stilts, towers, bridges everywhere, small boats rowed down the river, that's a portrait of Fenghuang. It's an authentic ancient town not too touristy.
Fenghuang is located at the southwest ridge of central China's Hunan Province. The region's terrain drops off in escarpment from northwest to southeast. The highest elevation is 1,117 meters while the lowest elevation is 170 meters. The area has beautiful scenery with undulating mountains and ranges, deep valleys, wooden covered forests and rivers.
