Fenghuang Ancient City is a national historical and cultural city, and is praised as the most beautiful town in China by the famous New Zealand writer rewi alley. It is adjacent to Dehang Miao Village in Jishou, Mengdong River in Yongshun and Fan Jing in Guizhou, and it is the only way between Huaihua, Jishou and Tongren in Guizhou. As a national historical and cultural city, Phoenix's scenery organically combines natural and humanistic characteristics, and the heavy feeling after perspective may be its charm essence of attracting tourists from all directions. Rewi alley, a New Zealand writer, once called the "Ancient Phoenix City" one of the most beautiful towns in China, which was built in the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. This "Pearl of Xiangxi" is really "small", so small that there is only a decent east-west street in the city, but it is a green corridor.

Unlike Dayan's atmosphere and magnificence, Shuhe River is quiet and simple. Perhaps it is because tourism development is not as good as Dayan, and the ancient town retains more of the original lifestyle of local residents. The local Naxi old lady also left a deep impression on me. I saw Naxi old ladies wearing the traditional dress of "Dai Yue brings stars" in the graduate school. They usually wear bright clothes and compete to take pictures with you. Of course, there is a charge. In Shuhe, the Naxi old ladies here also wear "Dai Yue with stars", but the colors are so natural and simple, just like their own backyard, so harmonious and natural. They are still very shy, and when they see me holding the camera in front of them, they all bow their heads and even hide it. They are quietly basking in the sun by the Shuhe River, away from the hubbub. The beauty of Shuhe lies in her purity. Swimming to the northernmost part of the ancient town, there is a lake, Jiuding Longtan. Before coming, some netizens said that the fish here are spiritual and can knock melon seeds, and they have always been skeptical. Unexpectedly, when I arrived, I saw the local security guards squatting on the beach. Don't feed the fish melon seeds. A handful of melon seeds were thrown down. Soon, melon seeds floated up. It seems that Lingshan is really beautiful. Even fish are so different. Many buildings in the ancient town are built with adobe made by local methods. According to the local people, this kind of adobe is very reliable. But it's also warm. It looks simple and beautiful, but it is said that there is animal urine in the material. I wonder how it tastes. Ha ha. All the towns here have streams running through the town, and the snow on Yulong Snow Mountain melts. Clear and beautiful. Small shops in ancient towns are also built by streams. In the afternoon, bathed in warm sunshine, choose a small shop by the stream and take a nap. Sometimes traveling is just so lazy and comfortable. However, tickets to Shuhe River are not cheap either, but there is a path that can turn right not far from the door, which can lead to the ancient city in a winding way. My husband and I are also happy to go around.
