Guide

Furong Town, located in Yongshun County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province, was originally named "Wangcun" and boasts a history of over two thousand years. It was once the seat of Xi'an Youyang County. Benefiting from the convenience of water transport on the Youshui River, it has been a bustling commercial port since ancient times, known as the "Thoroughfare between Chu and Shu." In 1986, the classic film "Furong Town," directed by the renowned Xie Jin, was filmed here, bringing the town widespread fame and its official renaming. As a scenic spot that perfectly blends natural wonders with profound history, it attracts countless tourists who come to explore its ancient charm.
The most breathtaking landmark in the scenic area is undoubtedly the magnificent waterfall that flows through the town, earning Furong Town the reputation of "a thousand-year-old town hanging on a waterfall." The central area of the ancient town is built on towering rocks, with stilt houses featuring distinctive Tujia characteristics built along the cliffs and waterfalls in a staggered fashion, creating a unique and grand spectacle. Strolling along the winding five-mile bluestone street, visitors can not only explore historical sites such as Xizhou Bronze Column and the Tujia Museum but also savor authentic local delicacies like rice tofu and Tujia cured meat, immersing themselves in the rich urban life and Xiangxi folk customs.
In addition to its ancient charm and beauty during the day, Furong Town's night view is an unmissable visual feast. As night falls, the entire ancient town is illuminated by dazzling lights. The crystal-clear waterfall and the brightly lit stilt houses reflect each other, creating a shimmering, dreamlike fairyland. Furthermore, the scenic area regularly stages exciting live ethnic folk performances, vividly showcasing the cultural heritage of the Tujia people. Whether you are a literary youth seeking movie memories or a vacationer eager to experience a stunning night view and exotic customs, you will have an unforgettable travel experience in this unique waterfall town.
