Fenghuang Ancient Town
 
The Fenghuang Ancient Town is located in Fenghuang County, Hunan Province, China. It is an exceptionally well-preserved ancient town that harbors unique ethnic languages, customs, arts as well as many distinctive architectural remains of Ming and Qing styles. The majority of the city's population is comprised of the Miao and Tujia minorities. It is renowned for its natural beauty, rich history and culture as well as colorful ethnic customs.

The town is embraced by green mountains, with Tuo Jiang River running through its heart. Unique wooden houses constructed on stilts are built along the riverbank. This kind of house is called Diaojiaolou (buildings with hanging legs). Fenghuang people still live a very simple life despite the other places of China are under the onset of modernization. It always reminds people of the scenes in Chinese painting and old Chinese films. Fenghuang County is the hometown of renowned Chinese writer Shen Congwen, whose masterpiece The Border Town written in 1934, describing a sentimental love story in Fenghuang County is known to every family and won Fenghuang a national-wide fame.

This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on March 28, 2008 in the Cultural category.
