Offering a fine glimpse of Old China, Fenghuang is an ancient town on the Tuojiang River in Hunan Province. In Chinese Fenghuang means ‘Phoenix’, the mythical bird of good omen and longevity that is consumed by fire to be re-born again from the flames. The town is so called because legend has it that two of these mythical birds flew over it and found it to be so wonderful that they grew reluctant to leave it. Well-preserved and maintained, Fenghuang can be tailored into your China itinerary if coming off of Yangtze river cruise and you are en route to Guizhou.
