, Chongde Hall, Ancient City Museum, etc.

Shen Congwen once described Phoenix like this: "If you look for it from an older map a hundred years ago, you can find a place called 'Zhengan' in a very remote corner of northern Guizhou, eastern Sichuan, and western Hunan.

A small dot there, like other small dots, there should actually be a city, in which a population of three to five thousand people could be settled..." This is the ancient city of Phoenix, which is shrouded in mystery.

Shen Congwen's song "Border Town" depicts the hometown that is close to his heart and soul in a poetic, dreamlike and soul-stirring way, and also promotes this silent and profound town to the world.

Huang Yongyu, a master of calligraphy and painting who calls himself "Diao Min", has traveled all over the world, but stubbornly used an ingenious "Duocui Building" to write down his strong feelings of nostalgia for his hometown.
