#SpringTravel#Overseas Travel I have previously shared the enchanting night view of Fenghuang. This article will talk about the bridge over the Tuojiang River in Fenghuang. Hongqiao: It is the most famous bridge in Fenghuang, with a history of more than 600 years. The bridge has two piers and three arches. It is not only beautiful, but also can reduce and decompose the impact of running water. When the bridge was built, it looked like a rainbow lying on the river, so it was called Hongqiao. Tiaoyan: It is the most interesting bridge in Fenghuang, a simple and ancient tool for crossing the river. Some stones of basically the same shape and size are arranged in the water to form a path, with the stones about one step apart, to form Tiaoyan. It is also a check-in spot in Phoenix. The Wind, Snow, Rain and Fog Bridges are the most nostalgic bridges in Fenghuang. These four bridges were donated to his hometown by the famous painter Mr. Huang Yongyu (a native of Fenghuang in western Hunan). They are all in the style of ancient wind and rain bridges, and are cleverly integrated with the mountains, waters and cities of Fenghuang Ancient Town. When you come to Fenghuang, remember to walk on these bridges. Regarding bridges, the poet Bian Zhilin wrote it best: You stand on the bridge to enjoy the scenery, and the people who enjoy the scenery are looking at you from upstairs. The bright moon decorates your window, and you decorate other people's dreams.

Suzhou's economic prowess within Jiangsu, China's second-strongest economic province, relies heavily on its districts and county-level cities. Zhangjiagang is no exception, boasting the second-highest GDP among Suzhou's districts and counties, trailing only Kunshan. Zhangjiagang originally referred to the Tongjiangyinpai Canal, connecting Jiangyin, Changshu, and Kunshan. Though only 100 kilometers long, this canal transformed Zhangjiagang Port into a national first-class port with 19 international shipping routes. Thanks to this port, the former Shazhou County became Zhangjiagang City in 1986. While geographically the most remote county-level city in Suzhou, Zhangjiagang ranks among the most livable places in the Yangtze River Delta. It also holds the distinction of being the first county-level city in China to receive the UN-Habitat Scroll of Honour Award. While long-term residency might not be in the cards for everyone, a short visit offers a glimpse into the city's thriving economy and the leisurely pace of local life. Located north of Changshu, Zhangjiagang is separated from Nantong and Taizhou by a single river, and borders Jiangyin (Wuxi) to the west. Its tourism industry has flourished over the past decade, attracting nearly 10 million visitors annually. Beyond its pristine environment, Zhangjiagang's tourism thrives on a holistic approach that integrates natural beauty with cultural heritage. While lacking the star attractions and trendy hotspots of other Suzhou areas, Zhangjiagang boasts four 4A-level scenic spots: Xiangshan Mountain, Fenghuang Mountain, Jiyang Lake, and Yonglian Town. Combined with attractions like Dongduyuan, Changyinsha, Shuangshan Island, and Liangfeng Ecological Park, Zhangjiagang has cultivated a tourism ecosystem blending scenic landscapes, rural experiences, and leisure shopping. Songze Culture settlements, predating the Liangzhu Culture, were discovered in Dongshan Village at the eastern foot of Xiangshan Mountain. Yongqing Temple on Fenghuang Mountain is one of the "Four Hundred and Eighty Temples of the Southern Dynasties." The ancient Huangsipu Port in Dongduyuan served as Jianzhen's departure point for his successful eastward journey to Japan. Yonglian Town is known as the "Hometown of Jiangsu Fresh Seafood Cuisine." Changyinsha, a modern agricultural demonstration park, is considered Zhangjiagang's backyard garden. Shuangshan Island stands as one of the best-preserved ecological islands in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. As the birthplace of Qian Qianyi, a late Ming Dynasty scholar and leader of the Donglin Movement, Zhangjiagang has long been a prosperous region in the Jiangnan area. Today, this small city, nestled on the southern bank of the Yangtze River, boasts a major port in the Yangtze River Delta. The Tongxi Expressway connects it north and south, and the Zhangjiagang Railway Station, operational since 2020, links to multiple lines, including the Shanghai-Suzhou-Nantong Railway, the Jiangsu South Coast Intercity Railway, and the Tongxiang-Suzhou-Jiaxing-Ningbo High-speed Railway. Shanghai Hongqiao is just an hour away by train. Suzhou was once considered Shanghai's backyard garden, and Zhangjiagang serves the same role for Suzhou. So, when will you visit this less-crowded, scenic, and culturally rich backyard paradise?

Phoenix Ancient Town, a small town with a thousand-year history, is located in the southwest of Hunan Province, China. It attracts a large number of tourists with its unique Miao and Tujia cultures, long history, and beautiful natural scenery. This time, my friends and I chose to take a three-day, two-night trip to Phoenix Ancient Town. This three-day journey allowed me to deeply experience the charm of this ancient town, not only feeling its profound cultural heritage but also being attracted by its beautiful natural scenery. The following is my detailed experience of this trip to Phoenix Ancient Town, hoping to provide some reference and help to other friends planning to visit. Day 1: Exploring the Ancient Town, Feeling the Pulse of History Our journey began with a morning flight arriving at Phoenix Airport, about 40 kilometers from the ancient town, requiring about an hour's drive. Upon leaving the airport, one can feel the breath of this ancient land. Phoenix Ancient Town is located by the Tuojiang River, surrounded by green mountains, making this ancient town even more charming. Upon arriving at Phoenix Ancient Town, we went directly to the center of the ancient town - Dongmenkou. Dongmenkou is one of the main entrances to the ancient town and the commercial and cultural center of the ancient town. Walking into the ancient town, the first thing that catches the eye are the ancient stilted buildings. The wooden structures are arranged in an orderly manner, and the architectural style is full of Miao and Tujia characteristics. The alleys in the ancient town are narrow and winding, and every step feels like walking into a historical corridor. We chose to stroll along the Tuojiang River, walking along the wooden plank road by the river. On both sides are ancient buildings and stilted buildings, with small boats occasionally rowing on the water. This leisurely atmosphere makes people feel like they have traveled back to ancient times. The Tuojiang River is clear to the bottom, and the blue river water, green mountains, and ancient buildings form a beautiful picture. Along the way, we also took a local bamboo raft, gently drifting on the river, enjoying the tranquil water scenery. For lunch, we chose a local Miao restaurant, tasting local specialties such as Miao sour soup fish and spicy stir-fried pork. These dishes have unique flavors, especially the sour soup fish, with a sour and spicy broth and tender fish, very appetizing. In the afternoon, we went to Hongqiao, one of the iconic buildings of Phoenix Ancient Town, built in the Ming Dynasty. The bridge is simple and elegant. Standing on Hongqiao, you can overlook the entire ancient town's scenery. The river, ancient buildings, stilted buildings, and distant mountains form a charming picture. This bridge is also a great place to take photos of the ancient town's scenery, with many tourists stopping to take pictures. In the evening, we chose to walk along the bar street by the Tuojiang River. There are many bars with local characteristics, soft lighting, and melodious music. Accompanied by the shimmering river, the night here is full of romance and tranquility. Day 2: In-depth Exploration, Understanding Miao Culture On the second day, we decided to gain a deeper understanding of the Miao culture and history of Phoenix Ancient Town. We first went to the Phoenix Museum, which displays a large number of cultural relics and historical materials related to the Miao and Tujia people. The museum's exhibits include many exquisite Miao silver ornaments, textiles, and daily utensils, giving us a deeper understanding of the Miao people's lifestyle and culture. Next, we went to a Miao village outside the ancient town, where the Miao people live. The architectural style of the Miao village is similar to the stilted buildings in Phoenix Ancient Town, but with more primitive and natural charm. Most of the residents here wear traditional Miao costumes, with exquisite silver ornaments and colorful fabrics, making me feel the unique charm of Miao culture. The village's handicraft stalls are dazzling, with local Miao women weaving fabrics and making silver ornaments, demonstrating Miao embroidery and hand weaving skills, allowing us to deeply appreciate the intricacy and ingenuity of this ancient culture. At noon, we dined at a mountain restaurant in the Miao village. The food here is closer to the Miao people's dietary habits, such as Miao sauerkraut and native chicken soup. The soup is fresh and delicious, and the ingredients are fresh. This meal was not only a taste enjoyment but also a deep experience of Miao dietary culture. In the afternoon, we returned to the ancient town and visited the Shengmu Temple, an ancient temple with hundreds of years of history, dedicated to the guardian deity of Phoenix Ancient Town. The architectural style of Shengmu Temple is unique, with exquisite carvings on the roof and a thriving incense inside. Standing in the temple, listening to the chanting of the pilgrims, I felt the solemnity and reverence of history. Day 3: The Charm of Nature, Feeling the Magic of Mountains and Rivers On the last day, we decided to leave the ancient town and visit the surrounding natural attractions. First, we went to Qingshui River, a river with clear water, surrounded by mountains, with picturesque scenery. We chose to take a bamboo raft, gently drifting on the Qingshui River, listening to the sound of the flowing water, and feeling the tranquility of nature. Then, we went to Huangsiqiao, where there is primitive natural scenery and hidden ancient Miao villages. The area around Huangsiqiao is an undeveloped primitive forest, with fresh air and the sounds of birds and flowers. Such a scene makes people completely relax and enjoy the embrace of nature. Summary: The Perfect Fusion of Culture and Nature This three-day, two-night trip to Phoenix Ancient Town made me deeply feel the charm of this ancient town. Phoenix Ancient Town not only has unique historical culture and ethnic customs but also beautiful natural scenery. Whether it is the historical relics in the ancient town or the surrounding Miao villages, rivers, and mountains, every place is full of stories and poetry. This small town gives people a feeling of being both ancient and modern, both lively and quiet. Whether tasting local food or wandering in the natural mountains and rivers, one can feel a sense of tranquility and joy. This trip was not only a visual enjoyment but also a cleansing of the soul. I believe the beauty and culture of Phoenix Ancient Town will remain in my memory forever.

Hongqiao Wind and Rain Building, originally named Wohong Bridge, is located in the center of Fenghuang Ancient City. It is a must-visit landmark in Fenghuang Ancient City. It was built in the ninth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1670) with local red strip stones into a stone arch bridge. The bridge has 2 piers and 3 holes. The piers are boat-shaped, which are not only beautiful and generous, but also can reduce and decompose the impact of flowing water. Hongqiao Wind and Rain Building is one of the main attractions of Fenghuang Ancient City. It is an ancient architectural complex on the Tuojiang River, composed of two bridges and buildings from the south to the north. This attraction can be divided into three parts for sightseeing: bridge, building, and ancient street.
