The ancient town of Fenghuang is located in the southwest of Xiangxi, Hunan Province.

The ancient city was built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. It is nestled between mountains and rivers, with the Tuojiang River running through the city. City walls made of red sandstone stand on the shore and the Nanhua Mountain is set against the city towers from the Qing Dynasty. Across the river below the north gate of the ancient city, there is a narrow wooden bridge with stone piers, which was the passage out of the city in the past. The bluestone streets in the city, the stilt houses by the Tuojiang River, the numerous ancient buildings and the rich customs constitute the unique Xiangxi charm. The main attractions include the former residence of Shen Congwen, the Ancient City Museum, Chongde Hall, etc., which are worth visiting.
