​Phoenix Ancient City (Chinese: 鳳凰古城) is an ancient city located on the western boundary of Hunan Province. The ancient city is especially well preserved and it showcases unique ethnic languages, customs, arts and many distinctive architectural remains of Ming and Qing Dynasty style. The town is located in a mountain setting with natural flow of water from the canal in the city. Over half of the city’s population makes up of minorities from Miao and Tujia. Phoenix Ancient City was added to UNESCO World Heritage tentative list in cultural category on March 28, 2008.
 
When traveling, I love to see the night and day view of the place. I always find the two to be drastically different especially in the atmosphere or vibe of the place. In this blogpost, I have included the night view of Phoenix Ancient City and I think it was absolutely beautiful. Photographs doesn’t do it justice really, because seeing it with your own eyes in person is so much better. But here’s a glimpse of what it looks like and I hope it entices you to go and visit too.
 
As for now, Happy Jetsetting! ✈
