I happened to stay for one more night in Fenghuang ancient city(凤凰古城) because my flight back to Shanghia was canceled after China Festival Conference. Fenghuang is new popular tourist destination in China. More and more young travelers would like to come here expecting to meet another half of themsleves. 

The price of the ticket is very expensive. Each traveler should pay 248 RMB and they keep the entrance to the ancient city til midnight. I would rather not buy ticket and I just looked around it outside. Fortunately, night views was very impressive.

There are many kinds of bars, restaurants and homestays along Tuojiang river（沱江）, where young people would like to gather to find more fun and make themselves more relaxed.

It was also the good place for creative artists gathering who find the chance easily.

What a pity, my flight of the next day was canceled again, but I had much more time to walk around Fenghuang during daytime. All ancient city was covered heavy frog and it looked like fairyland. 

I happened to find a small way to the ancient city without keepers and I entered into it without ticket luckly.

It must be typical experience if travelers could spend some time to take a boat in Tuojiang river.

I hope Fenghuang has a prosperous future, just like a high flying phenix.

TIPS

1. Try to stay one more night at the riverside of Tuojiang and choose one comfortable bar to make yourselves more relaxing.

2. Try to escape the entrance ticket once. It is fun to find the way free of charge to the ancient city even though I don't encourage everyone to do it, but I really think the price of the ticket is very expensive. 

3. The nearest airport is Tongren airport(铜仁机场), where it takes one hour to the ancient city.
