Many people want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and choose a quiet place to experience slow life, but most people will choose the Phoenix Ancient City. In fact, there is an ancient town next to Phoenix Ancient City that is more suitable for a comfortable slow life. It is Furong Town, which has a history of over two thousand years in western Hunan.

Furong Town, originally named Wang Village, was named after the filming of the movie "Furong Town". It is located in Yongshun County, a Tujia ethnic group in western Hunan. Due to the magnificent waterfall passing through it, Furong Town is also known as the "millennium ancient town hanging on the waterfall".

Furong Town is quiet and quaint, with beautiful scenery, comfortable and leisurely, and rich ethnic customs. As the writer Chen Yunhe said in "Furong Town", "The accent of Xiangxi is full of the ancient charm of Mengdong River.

Surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, Furong Town is surrounded by winding and deep streets and alleys. The Tujia stilted wooden buildings and the five mile long streets paved with bluestone slabs, which are adjacent to the water, reflect the simple and ancient Tujia folk customs and traditions. It enjoys the reputation of Youyang Xiong Town, Xiangxi "Four Famous Towns", and "Little Nanjing". There is a lyric praising: "Wuling Mountain is beautiful and the water is tranquil, and the Three Gorges fall into Xizhou

The Great Waterfall is a highlight of Furong Town and a must visit place for tourists. In the rainstorm season, the waterfalls are galloping and jumping, like thousands of horses, galloping and jumping. At other times, the waterfall is like gentle fairies dancing their long sleeves and drifting through the clouds, passionately in love with the peaceful and verdant Furong Town. The ever-changing waterfall is like a legend from the heavens.

Furong Town not only hangs above waterfalls, but also stands on mountains, with green mountains and clear waters floating around the rooftops in a green mist, like a fairy realm. The stilted houses where villagers live have their roots rooted deep into the earth, standing like giants among the mountains.

The bluestone foundation, green brick old walls, hollow window frames, and flying eaves and corners bring people who travel here back to ancient times.

Furong Town is surprisingly quiet at night, so quiet that it can calm one's restless heart. Apart from the sound of rushing water from the waterfall, you can't even hear any artificial noise.

So compared to the ancient city of Phoenix, perhaps Furong Town is more suitable for returning to slow life.
