The main attractions are Shen Congwen's former residence, the ancient city museum and Chongde Hall, which are worth visiting.

Play experience

On the whole, the ancient city of Fenghuang is still worth visiting. Some people say that the commercialization is too serious. In fact, as long as you do your own strategy, don't listen to the people there. You can rent a set of miao clothing to take pictures there when you visit the ancient city of Fenghuang, and you can cut the price by 5 to 6 yuan, which is much better than more than 3 sets to help take pictures, because the photos taken by photographers there are really ordinary.

tips：

When you visit an ancient town, you can rent a set of Hanfu to take photos at the local scenic spots, and if you can, you can bring one yourself. The atmosphere of the photos taken is completely different.

Snacks and delicacies are different in every place. Be sure to punch in local specialty snacks, travel all over the world and eat all over the world ~

If you meet someone selling you something in the ancient town, don't pay attention! Avoid the pit strongly!
