This low-key ancient city, 900 years older than Fenghuang, is the hometown of Jackson Yee

, my favorite hidden ancient city has appeared‼️ To be honest, Qianyang Ancient City is my biggest surprise this year✨ 📍Location: Qiancheng Town, Hongjiang City, Huaihua, Hunan Province ⏰Recommended visit time: Best before 9:00 AM to avoid peak tourist hours 🔍Discover the secret realm: 900 years older than Fenghuang, yet so low-key it breaks your heart😭 No crowded tourists👫, no over-commercialized shops. Only authentic Ming and Qing architecture and a slow-paced local life👨‍🌾 This is also Jackson Yee’s hometown~and there’s a fan charity library📚 The ancient city’s nine streets and eighteen alleys crisscross, preserving the original ancient charm. 🌸Must-visit spots: ✅ Furong Tower: (Address: Northwest corner of Qianyang Ancient City) A Tang and Song style pavilion built by the river, climb up to see the misty waves of the Yuan River and distant mountains like ink paintings.📸 Recommended to wear Hanfu for great photos! ✅ Nanzheng Street: (Address: Center of the ancient city) Authentic Ming and Qing street, bamboo crafts, send postcards at the old post office🎑, full of local life vibes! ✅ Zhongzheng Gate: (Address: Southeast side of the ancient city) Climb the red sandstone city wall for panoramic shots of the blue-tiled roofs! Best to visit at sunset🌇 🍜Taste of Qianyang: 🔥 You’s Spring Rolls (Address: No. 38 Nanzheng Street) Old brand, delicious smoked tofu and cured meat flavor! Only about 15 RMB per person to eat until full! 🔥 Spicy Duck Blood (Xiangsxi intangible cultural heritage food, old brand on Nanzheng Street, about 50 RMB per person) 🔥 Old Street Duck Egg Noodles (Dry noodles with fried duck egg, rich sauce flavor you can’t stop) 💡 Tips: 🚌 Transportation: High-speed train to Huaihua South Station, 1 hour direct 🏨 Accommodation: Hongjiang Changling Mansion (Address: No. 88 Guanlan Road, Qiancheng Town) 💰Enjoy a river view room for just 200+ RMB❗ Listen to the river waves at night, watch the mist lock the layered buildings in the morning🌫️
