The Top 2 Furong Ancient Town Tours
While Hunan has popular destinations like mystical Zhangjiajie and antique Fenghuang Ancient Town, Furong Ancient Town (Furongzhen) is lesser-known. From magnificent waterfall to rich Tujia ethnic culture, it offers a different tourist experience, which can satisfy different interests of tourists and leave them with unforgettable memories.
The waterfall running through the town is its most prominent feature, creating a spectacular sight as the water cascades down forcefully. That’s why Furong Ancient Town is reputed as a “thousand-year ancient town hanging on the waterfall”. Furong Ancient Town is rich in the Tujia ethnic group’s heritage, such as Tusi’s residence and Xizhou Bronze Pillar, serving as a living museum of Tujia culture. It’s also a paradise for relaxation seekers. Compared to big cities, Furong Ancient Town has a slow-paced life. Tourists can stroll on green flagstone roads of Wuli Street to get away from the hustle and bustle of urban life and fully relax their bodies and minds in this idyllic town.
How to Plan a Furong Ancient Town Tour
April to October are the best times to enjoy the magnificent view of Furong Waterfall, especially during the rainy seasons (around June to Auguest) when the waterfall is in great momentum. One day and one night is quite enough for tourists to get a taste of Furong Ancient Town’s essence and appreciate its dreamy and magical nightscape.
Furong Ancient Town is not far away from Zhangjiajie (0.5 hrs by high-speed train) and Fenghuang Ancient Town (0.5 hrs~1 hr by high-speed train). It’s a wonderful idea to plan 3~5 days in Zhangjiajie or 1~2 days in Fenghuang Ancient Town combining with Furong Ancient Town. Since Furong Ancient Town is not large, walking is indeed the best way to immerse in the historical atmosphere.
