Imagine strolling through a real-life fairy tale where ancient wooden houses cling to cliffs beside roaring waterfalls 🌟. Welcome to Furong Ancient Town in Hunan Province – a 2,000-year-old hidden gem that looks like it’s straight out of a fantasy movie!
Nicknamed the 'Town Hanging on the Waterfall,' this village features diaojiaolou – traditional stilted homes built by the Tujia ethnic group. These gravity-defying structures frame cascading waters that glow golden at sunset 💛. Fun fact: The 1986 classic film Hibiscus Town, starring legends Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing, was filmed here! 🎬
🌿 Why visit? Picture this: Misty waterfalls, moss-covered stone paths, and a rich Tujia cultural heritage waiting to be explored. Pro tip for travelers: Visit during autumn to see the town draped in fiery foliage 🍁.
