Fenghuang Ancient City is a very famous ancient city. Many friends plan to visit here. Tuanzi will share the guide to the ancient city’s attractions and how to plan the route.
There are many attractions in Fenghuang Ancient City. The more classic attractions include Fenghuang Ancient City Square, Wanming Tower, Hongqiao, Jumping Rock and so on.
Itinerary planning:
Although there are many scenic spots in the ancient city, if you walk down them all, you can complete the whole journey in less than four hours.
One day is more than enough. You can start from the North City Gate, pass by the Yang Family Ancestral Hall along the city wall, come to the East Gate Tower, take a look at Shen Congwen’s former residence, then go to Phoenix Square, and finally go to Hongqiao in the evening. Take a look at the night view near Wanshou Palace and Wanming Pagoda.
With this process, you can complete all the attractions in Fenghuang Ancient City in one day.
Classic must-visit attractions:
1. Wanming Pagoda
Wanming Pagoda is located on the north bank of Shawan, Tuojiang River, adjacent to the Xiachang Pavilion with carved beams and painted buildings in the east, and the Xiachang Pavilion in the west. Look at the magnificent Fengyu Bridge.
This is a hexagonal three-level brick tower. It was the site where old calligraphy was burned in the Qing Dynasty. The tower body is made of blue bricks, mixed mortar and reinforced concrete, and each corner is hung with copper. Wind chimes.
Tuanzi climbed up the tower to see its reflection in the Tuojiang River. The swaying figure looked very delicate and graceful outside the pavilion.
2. Phoenix Ancient City Square
Phoenix Square is an iconic attraction of the ancient city. It is a gathering place for tourists during the day and a dance venue for locals at night.
There is a huge golden phoenix statue standing in the square. The surrounding ancient buildings are well preserved. Next to it is the location of the Phoenix Tourism Bureau. Friends who come here usually use this as a photo location.
The night view here is also very beautiful. Tuanzi looked at the phoenix statue in the square at night. The golden figure was in sharp contrast with the night.
3. Hongqiao
Hongqiao is a wooden arch bridge with a history of more than 500 years and is located in the center of the ancient city.
There is a rainbow-shaped decoration on the top of the bridge, so it is named Hongqiao. The unique architectural style and beautiful shape make Hongqiao a highlight of Fenghuang Ancient City.
Many of the night scenes of the ancient city in Tuanzi were shot on Hongqiao, and the results are very good.
4. Tiaoyan
Tiaoyan is located on the Tuojiang River outside the north gate of the ancient city. It is 100 meters long and has 15 rock piers. It was an important passage for people to enter and exit the ancient city.
Tiaoyan can also be regarded as a kind of "bridge", connecting the two sides of the ancient city, but it is made of rocks separated by a certain distance. People walk on it as if jumping, so it is called rock jumping.
It’s very interesting here. Tuanzi likes to walk on both sides of the jumping rock. However, during holidays, there are many people here. Friends who come here during holidays should pay attention to safety.
5. Wanshou Palace
The Wanshou Palace is also called the Jiangxi Guild Hall. It faces Hongqiao far away. The three doors are facing the three holes of the arch bridge, which symbolizes the wealth of the Wanshou Palace.
A banknote printing factory, a weaving factory, a primary school, a grain store, a bandit suppression headquarters, etc. have been opened here. This has also caused the Wanshou Palace to go through vicissitudes of life. Many palaces have been demolished, leaving only the high gate tower. , the main hall still exists here.
There is Yang Tower in the north and Xia Chang Pavilion in the right and west. The interior space is unique. After visiting it, Tuanzi wanted to say with emotion: "After all, spring is never too late. I almost stayed in Longevity Palace."
6. Yang Family Ancestral Hall
The Yang Family Ancestral Hall is located on the edge of the city wall in the northeast of the ancient city. It is also the best-preserved ancestral hall in the ancient city.
The most famous among them is Yang Fang. In the 16th year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty, he was a third-rank official. He was also the prince and tutor. He had military power and a prominent position. He bravely commanded the battle group during the First Opium War, and was given the title "Qinyong" by Emperor Daoguang after his death.
When Tuanzi visited, it was strange that the door of the ancestral hall opened sideways. Generally, ancestral halls open from the front. Then after introduction from local people, we found out that it turned out that the Yang family believed in Feng Shui and the door opened diagonally to the front. Tuojiang can make the ancestral legacy last forever. Tuanzi was also shocked when he entered the gate. He looked up and saw the wooden sculptures of a cow head and a bat on the door. One is used to ward off evil and the other brings good luck.
7. Shen Congwen’s former residence
The former residence is a courtyard with a wooden structure, covering an area of ??600 square meters. Mr. Shen Congwen’s ashes are buried at the foot of the mountain.
This is a late Qing Dynasty building with a history of more than 100 years. It is divided into two entrances, front and rear, with antique wing rooms on the left and right, including a showroom. The clear and precious photos in the showroom record Mr. Shen Congwen's arduous journey in the world.
When Tuanzi saw the profound words, they truly recorded the growth process of the writer in his life. When he saw the chairs and square tables and other physical objects used by Mr. Shen, it was as if Mr. Shen had appeared in front of Tuanzi. , Tuanzi felt as if he saw Mr. Shen’s amiable smile.
The most famous thing about Fenghuang Ancient City is its night view. If you are not pressed for time at night for a day trip, you must go to the Hongqiao in the center to see the night view of the ancient city.
That’s it for the introduction of the classic attractions in Fenghuang Ancient City. The route planned by Tuanzi is very suitable for friends who want to visit Fenghuang Ancient City in one day. I hope you can use it.
