Overview
★ Board a black-awning boat, listen to the boatman's chants, and admire the century-old Tujia stilted houses on both banks of Fenghuang Ancient Town -- a uniquely charming experience. Sailing downstream and passing through Hong Bridge, a picture of Jiangnan water town unfolds before your eyes: Wanshou Palace, Ten-Thousand-Person Pagoda, Ducui Tower... A feeling of being far from the mundane world arises spontaneously. ★ The most leisurely route covering the most classic attractions of Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang Ancient Town in the shortest time! ★ Zhangjiajie National Forest Park was listed as a World Geopark in 2004. It contains more than 3,000 strange peaks. These stone peaks resemble people, animals, objects, and utensils, vivid and spectacular. It is a World Natural Heritage Site, World Geopark, the first National Forest Park, and one of the first national 5A-level tourist areas. Within its borders are strange peaks and dangerous rocks, deep valleys and secluded ravines, clear waters and green forests, and swirling clouds and mist. It combines majesty, wonder, seclusion, wildness, and beauty; and gathers peaks, valleys, ravines, forests, and waters into one.
