There are many ancient towns in China, perhaps the most famous ones are Fenghuang(凤凰古城)，Lijiang(丽江古城). Today I want to share stories and photos of another ancient town named Furong Town which is not as famous, but beautiful. After my trip there, I think it deserves a higher reputation. Furong Town is an ancient town with more than 2000 years of history, it is located in Xiangxi autonomous prefecture, Hunan Province. Anciently, Furong Town was the business port. It was named after a famous movie “Furong Town” which was shot here. This old movie was made in 1986, I bet many Chinese have heard about it.
This is a poster of that movie. Liu Xiaoqing, a popular actress in China for many years, is heroine of this movie. I want to leave out the detailed plots, it is a touching story, if you are interested in , you could find it and enjoy.
In that movie, the heroine sells rice tofu for a living.
The location where the heroine sells rice tofu has been reserved. This is its present image shot by me, my friends and I tasted rice tofu here, rice tofu becomes specialty of this town.
Besides its glory brought by the movie, we cannot omit its beauty. Furong town has perfectly preserved its old Stone Road, which is different from modern city.
This town is by the water, there are boats fetching people.
You can enjoy sceneries on this bridge.
One of the most impressive things is that the houses are constructed on the cliff.
You can see water flowing down from house.
I recommend Forong Town for you guys because it is really an amazing place that worth going, consider it if you have time!
Uh..there are some problems..The pictures I uploaded are too big,I have to narrow them,but they are deformed. maybe I am not familar using it.
I think they are only similar in appearance, but different ingredients, different tastes. two knids of food.
Sounds very interesting. How did the rice tofu compare with ordinary tofu?
