Fenghuang - nice ancient city full of chinese tourists

Fenghuang is a nice ancient city built along a river. During the day it's great to walk through the little streets and discover the many nice things they are selling. The place is full of chinese tourists, I saw maybe 5 western tourists in a whole day walking. During the Night, the bars along the river play loud disco music, which kind of ruins the atmosphere (everything is beautiful!) and feels like Chinese ballermann...

    Ancient Miao Museum
    Much to see in the Museum. Remember to step over the high entry ledges. Old ceremonial rooms, beautiful courtyards. Silver plays an important role in Miao culture. Fenghuang is true jewel.

    Touristy but still Special
    Fenghuang is very well known as a tourist destination within China, but almost unheard of outside China. You'll need to buy an entrance ticket and make sure you stay within the ancient city (凤凰古城）, not the normal run-of-the-mill city of the same name around it. The architecture is breathtaking, the river serene, the bridges and crossings cool, and plenty of lively cafes and bars and good Hunan food to boot. There's also plenty of Miao people history to learn about, even if it's not made particularly accessible and the area seems extremely Han Chinese. This particular museum is ok, my review is more for the general Fenghuang old town.
