Fenghuang (Chinese for phoenix), a small city under the jurisdiction of the Tujia Autonomous Prefecture of Hunan Province, borders northern Guizhou Province and eastern Chongqing Municipality. Surrounded by mountains and girdled lay the Tuojiang River, this small, quiet city is famous for its beautiful landscape, and as birthplace of several celebrated Chinese personages.
A traveler who has been in Fenghuang said:'Alone,I aimlessly rambled through the lanes of the ancient town.The lanes seemed endless,curving round and round,forming an invisible but attractive swirl.As you walk around town,you can hardly feel the passage of time.Before you know it,time has softly and quietly glided past.'
