In Furong Town, you should take it slow. Sitting in the old house beside the thousand-year-old waterfall of Chushu Tongjin, the Observation Deck Restaurant is a good place to slow down. Looking at the waterfall and listening to the sound of the bursting water, you will feel nostalgic.

在芙蓉镇要怀着&ldquo;慢&rdquo;心情，坐在楚蜀通津的千年瀑布边的老房子&mdash;&mdash;观景台餐厅正好可以让自己慢下来。眺望着瀑布，听着爆裂的水声，思古之幽情油然而生。

到芙蓉镇旅游，自然要观赏一下最有名的景点瀑布的夜景了。景区内有几个观景台，不过有一个是免费的，土王行宫的要收10元茶水费，这家观景台餐厅据说是最佳观景点，但除了田螺，看点评都说味道一般，其实不在里面吃饭也可以照相，不过我们还是买了田螺，味道比景区外面的好吃些，照相角度是还可以。

When traveling to Furong Town, you must naturally enjoy the night view of the most famous scenic spot, the waterfall. There are several viewing platforms in the scenic area, but one is free. The one at Tuwang Palace charges 10 yuan for tea. This viewing platform restaurant is said to be the best viewing point, but except for the snails, the reviews say the taste is average. In fact, you can take pictures even if you don&rsquo;t eat inside, but we still bought snails. The taste is better than outside the scenic area, and the angle for taking pictures is okay.

能观看瀑布最正的地方，比其他任何视角都美，得天独厚的地理环境，来吃饭的人超级多，还要排队。图一是在餐厅拍摄，图二，三是其他几个角度拍摄。

The best place to view the waterfall is more beautiful than any other angle. It has a unique geographical environment. There are so many people coming to eat that you have to queue up. Picture 1 was taken in the restaurant, and pictures 2 and 3 were taken from other angles.

芙蓉镇看瀑布最好的位置，餐厅服务员很热情，在这里吃个饭看看瀑布，人生一大乐事。要说菜一般般，不过在芙蓉镇这个小地方已经很不错了，价格和外面没有风景的餐厅价格差不多，所以觉得自己还是赚了。

The best location to see the waterfall in Furong Town, the waiters in the restaurant are very enthusiastic, eating here and watching the waterfall is a great pleasure in life. The food is average, but it is very good in this small place in Furong Town, and the price is similar to that of restaurants outside without scenery, so I think I still made a profit.

口味，这个不好说。真的，菜品也还就凑合吧。价格不便宜但是。最关键的是位置好，这个地方的确是很好的观景位置，这个的确是可以坐下来看看。但是不用点太多菜了的。不是很喜欢菜品。看着还好，但是不怎么好吃的。或许是不合口味吧。特别是这个米豆腐。和其他家的一样，其他家那种一条条的还好吃。

Taste, it&#39;s hard to say. Really, the dishes are just OK. The price is not cheap, but. The most important thing is the good location. This place is indeed a good viewing location. You can sit down and take a look. But don&#39;t order too many dishes. I don&#39;t like the dishes very much. It looks okay, but it&#39;s not very delicious. Maybe it&#39;s not to my taste. Especially the rice tofu. It&#39;s the same as other restaurants. The strips of other restaurants are still good.

Furong Town is a mysterious and beautiful place. I first came to know Furong Town from the movie &quot;Furong Town&quot; directed by Xie Jin. Liu Xiaoqing played the role of Hu Yuyin, a tofu beauty who was not only beautiful, but also strong and gentle. Together with Jiang Wen, who played an intellectual, they performed a love story that was quite old-fashioned and sweet. This movie was really popular at the time, and people are still arguing whether Xie Jin made Furong Town a success or Furong Town made the movie a success.

The No.1 Snail Restaurant is located outside Furong Town. It mainly uses river snails from Mengdong River as raw materials, creating a unique river snail flavor, which has developed from an authentic Xiangxi snack to a delicacy on the table. However, the people there may have a strong taste, and this No.1 Snail is too salty. It may taste better if it is lighter.

After visiting Tianmen Mountain, we drove all the way to Furong Town. Because the homestay we booked was in the scenic area, vehicles were not allowed to enter, and it was inconvenient to carry luggage, so we simply ate at the entrance of the scenic area. The tour guide took us to this restaurant, which was relatively large and had a decent environment. It was said that the most famous dish here was snails, so of course we had to order them, and there were also some dishes like baba. As a result, when we ate it, the snail meat felt average, but the baba was quite delicious. The overall feeling was average.

Various Hunan-style side dishes and snacks are very delicious and cheap

My sister held her wedding banquet there. The environment is great! The dishes tasted good. It depends on the dishes you choose. If you are willing to spend money, it will be delicious. If you are not willing to spend money, it will be just so-so. The dishes ordered at the wedding banquet were very good, so they were all very good. It is considered a famous restaurant in the local area. A great restaurant!

After about a half-hour drive from Yongshun County in the Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, you&#39;ll find an ancient town perched above a waterfall. This is Furong Town, known as the &quot;Millennium Town Hanging on a Waterfall.&quot;

Upon entering the town, you&#39;ll be greeted by winding bluestone paths lined with rows of stilt houses. These structures, many of which are built into the hillside, feature wooden pillars, plank walls, and black tiled roofs, forming a staggered, orderly arrangement. Tujia dwellings have always been in harmony with nature, not disrupting the mountain&#39;s contours or forcibly modifying the topography. Instead, they are cleverly laid out in accordance with the mountain&#39;s shape and the flow of water.

As we reach the center of the town, the rumbling sound of water grows louder. Turning a corner, a waterfall, approximately 40 meters wide and 60 meters high, suddenly appears before our eyes. The water cascades down the cliff, crashing onto the rocks at the base, splashing a myriad of droplets. In the sunlight, rainbows often appear across the falls, a truly spectacular sight. This waterfall is unlike any other. Visitors can walk behind it, enjoying the view from behind the curtain of water &ndash; a truly fascinating experience. It&#39;s said to be the largest and most spectacular waterfall in western Hunan, and the reason Furong Town is nicknamed &quot;the ancient town hanging on the waterfall.&quot;

Furong Town, formerly known as Wangcun, boasts a history spanning over 2,000 years. It served as the seat of Youyang County during the Western Han Dynasty and the administrative center of the Tusi kings during the Tang and Song dynasties. Relics from the Tusi Dynasty still remain in the town, including the Tusi Palace and Tusi Ancestral Hall. Walking along the stone pavement, one can almost hear the echoing ringing of horse caravan bells, a testament to its former prosperity as a vital commercial port at the junction of Sichuan, Hunan, and Guizhou.

When it comes to food, Furong Town is undoubtedly famous for its &quot;rice tofu.&quot; Following the aroma, I found a time-honored shop. The owner poured rice slurry into a pot, gently stirring it until it solidified, then cut it into small pieces and served it with chili oil, crushed peanuts, chopped green onions, and other condiments. I took a bite and it was tender, smooth, and refreshing, with a hint of spicy flavor. It truly lived up to its reputation. The owner proudly told me that the movie &quot;Furong Town&quot; was filmed here, and that Liu Xiaoqing&#39;s character, Hu Yuyin, sold rice tofu.

Traditional Tujia delicacies like bacon, sour fish, and glutinous rice cakes are also not to be missed. I ordered a few local dishes at a restaurant near the waterfall. The bacon and bracken stir-fried with ferns were fragrant, and the sour fish was appetizing and went well with the rice. Paired with the soft and glutinous rice cakes, and a glass of Tujia-brewed rice wine, it was truly relaxing to enjoy the stunning view of the waterfall.

In the evening, the town lights gradually brightened, illuminating the waterfall with a vibrant array of colors. Elderly Tujia people gathered in the square, singing ancient Tujia folk songs and performing the waving hand dance. I stopped to watch, captivated by this primitive yet passionate ethnic culture.

As night fell, I checked into an inn converted from a stilt house and fell asleep to the sound of the waterfall. In a trance, I felt as if I had traveled back a thousand years to the Tusi Dynasty, witnessing the vicissitudes of this ancient town.

The beauty of Furong Town lies not only in its unique natural landscapes, but also in its rich history and ethnic culture. It&#39;s a place where nature and humanity blend seamlessly, a place worth every traveler&#39;s pause to savor.
