Mount Yuelu

Reviewed By 415dianah - Guangzhou, China

Taking it at a leisurely pace, walking up to Yuelu Temple was worth the effort. Lots of meandering pathways and tombs through the mountainside. Worth the effort if you enjoy the combination of nature and sites. The monastery is working so some places are off limits. A little rundown, it still provides a great insight into the history and heritage of the region. It was reasonably crowded for a day when it was a chilly 6 degrees. I can imagine in warmer weather, there would be even more people.

Phoenix Ancient Town

Reviewed By Jordydegraaf - Terneuzen, The Netherlands

This is what people often have in mind of visiting an old Chinese town. Architecture of the buildings are stunning, really amazing. The village though increasingly becomes popular and gets commercialized. Still it has a nice vibe and atmosphere. At night it’s particularly beautiful. You won’t need more than one day. It’s best to stay overnight to experience the village at night. By taxi it takes one hour to Tongren Fenghuang Airport, busses available as well but not that frequent. Additionally Fenghuang has express bus connection to Zhangjiajie & Wulingyuan (village of Zhangjiajie National Park) which takes about 4 hours.
