An Ancient Town (凤凰古城)

A 5 hours journey from the city of Zhang Jia Jie lies a thousand years old small town, not entirely sure it worth all the trouble with the travelling, but the night view and allegedly the dawn was totally fascinating!

The Phoenix Ancient Town

All these old buildings had been improvised into bars and shops~~

Together with the Tuo-River(沱江), the night view of the phoenix town gain its fame

It used to be free of charge...but since early this year...a compulsory entrance fees of 148 yuan had been implemented~ Nothing goes free here~ 

The night view was really breathtaking(I heard the dawn was even so)...but a 5 hours journey and an entrance fees of 148 bucks is perhaps alittle too much 

Anyway, walking along the river did gave a very relaxing and tranquilized feeling~

Personally likes this view very much~

Look at how clear and serene the river is~~~

One of the must do is of course cruising the river 

Though the weather is abit coolly~ even reaching early summer

The aborigines singing along the way~

LOL~ No Japanese~~~

Again..I think the place would be a great getaway without the crowd it presented~ Everywhere is packed~ What a waste~

All sorts of local snacks and souvenirs can be bought here~ 

Their ginger sweet is one of the must try~~
