Nestled in the lush mountains of Hunan Province, Furong Town is serving major *Studio Ghibli vibes* this summer. Imagine wooden stilt houses clinging to cliffs as roaring waterfalls cascade beneath them – this 2,000-year-old village is basically nature’s IMAX theater. 🎥
Locals call it the ‘town hanging over water,’ and it’s easy to see why: homes and tea shops perch precariously above misty cascades, creating a dreamy atmosphere that’s straight out of a fantasy novel. Summer temps here stay cool (around 22°C/72°F), making it the ultimate escape from city heatwaves.
Beyond the waterfalls, cobblestone streets wind past traditional Tujia minority architecture. Pro tip: Visit at night when the cliffs are illuminated by golden lights – it’s like walking through a living oil painting. 🖼️
Travel bloggers are dubbing it ‘China’s best-kept secret,’ but with TikTok videos of its waterfall views going viral, that status might not last long. Pack your comfiest shoes and camera – this is one adventure you’ll want to gram. 📸
