Phoenix Ancient City Night View| Border Town under the pen of Shen Congwen

|Border Town under the pen of Shen Congwen. 'A bend of Tuojiang River, a Phoenix city.' A slight mist is diffused, three thousand bright lights are brilliant, so this is the border town under the pen of Mr. Shen Congwen... Rush to the Phoenix Ancient City in western Hunan to see the 'Border Town' under the pen of Shen Congwen. The majestic ancient city wall, the neat stilted buildings, the smooth bluestone roads, the Yao girls by the Tuojiang River... These are the first impressions of the Phoenix Ancient City. Phoenix is located in western Hunan, and is a county where ethnic minorities such as Miao and Tujia are mainly concentrated. This place has a long history and was once called 'the land of barbarians', but a 'Border Town' has pushed this ancient city to the world. Today's Phoenix is the 'most beautiful small city in China' in the mouth of New Zealand writer Rewi Alley and the 'Painting Township' under the pen of painter Huang Yongyu, which is comparable to the ancient city of Lijiang in Yunnan and the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi. 'Wait for a city of misty rain, just for you; cross a lifetime of love, only with you' 'I have walked over many bridges in my life, seen clouds many times, drunk many kinds of wine, but only loved a person at the best age' Perhaps many people like Shen Congwen because of this sentence. And because of his 'Border Town', they fell in love with Phoenix.
