When we arrived at the ancient city of Phoenix, the setting sun was hanging obliquely on the top of the mountain on the bank of the Tuojiang River, dyeing the entire ancient city golden. Standing at the entrance of the ancient city, I felt as if I had traveled through time and space and returned to the legendary secret realm of Xiangxi. The ancient city of Phoenix is surrounded by mountains, and the clear Tuojiang River passes through the city, and the mountains and rivers reflect each other, like a flowing picture. The stone-paved streets of the old city are lined with quaint wooden buildings, and the blue-tiled roofs glitter in the setting sun. Walking through such streets, I can hear the whispers of history.
The night in the ancient city of Phoenix is a feast for the eyes and ears. When night falls, the lights on both sides of the Tuojiang River gradually turn on, reflecting each other with the reflection on the river, forming a beautiful night scene. I took a flat boat and swayed leisurely on the river, feeling the comfort of the river breeze on my cheeks. The boatman sang melodious Xiangxi folk songs, and the singing flowed with the river, as if telling the thousand-year-old story of the ancient city. Along the way, I saw bridges of various shapes, stilted buildings built by the water, and local residents strolling leisurely along the river. All this made me feel the unique charm and strong humanistic atmosphere of Phoenix Ancient City.
