Minha opinião sincera
Fenghuang Ancient Town is a genuine highlight of Xiangxi and worth prioritising if you are here — though it is best combined with the city's other sights rather than treated as a lone detour. Go early, and keep expectations flexible around weather and crowds.
Como chegar
Fenghuang Ancient Town sits in Xiangxi and is best reached on foot or by a short taxi/ride-hail from the centre. Show your driver the Chinese name — 凤凰古城 — and enter through the main gate.
