Phoenix Ancient Town - Hongqiao

Hongqiao, also known as "Hongqiao Fengyulou", is located on the bank of Huilongtan in Shawan, Tuojiang River, close to the Diaojiaolou style area. When boating on Tuojiang River, you can see its majestic figure from afar. It is a bridge and a building. It was built in the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty and is now more than 600 years old. According to legend, there was an evil dragon hidden under Huilongtan, which often caused storms and harmed the people. In order to punish the evil dragon, the people who built the bridge at that time hung a dragon-slaying knife under each of the three holes of Hongqiao. Since then, there has been peace and prosperity.

The two piers of Hongqiao are shaped like a boat, just like a rainbow lying on the Tuojiang River after the rain, so it is also called "Lying Hongqiao". In the past, there were 12 stilt houses on both sides of the bridge, which housed restaurants, tobacco shops and various stores.

When night falls, Hongqiao is decorated with colorful lights like a beautiful bride waiting to be married, becoming a beautiful landscape on Tuojiang River.

I had breakfast near Hongqiao and saw an old man taking a break. I couldn't help but record this moment with my phone.

Hongqiao, the core attraction of Fenghuang Ancient Town, was first built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at Hongqiao from afar, it spans the Tuojiang River, and the night view is particularly beautiful. Walking into Hongqiao, you can see all kinds of handicrafts and small souvenirs for sale. It has a strong commercial atmosphere.

Lying on the Tuojiang River, pick up the iconic buildings of Fenghuang Ancient Town

The core of the ancient city's transportation, and also a place to take photos

Hongqiao: Fenghuang Hongqiao and Minzu Street intersect vertically and horizontally, forming a picture of ancient urban customs. The Hongqiao Fengyu Tower is said to have a history of more than 600 years.

My impression of it is just a bridge and two words. Do they have a deeper meaning?

Fenghuang Hongqiao is located near Hongqiao Middle Road, Fenghuang County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. It intersects with Minzu Street vertically and horizontally, reflecting each other, forming a picture of the customs of the ancient city. The Hongqiao Fengyu Tower is located near Hongqiao Middle Road, Fenghuang County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province ...

It is the landmark building of Fenghuang Ancient Town, and the ancient streets here are very similar to Xitang.

The scenery of Hongqiao is quite beautiful, and there are also shops selling things inside Hongqiao.

The "Tuojiang River" flows from west to east through the "Phoenix Ancient City". The third bridge on the river is the "Hongqiao", located outside the "East Gate". It was first built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. It is the largest and oldest bridge in the urban area of the "Phoenix Ancient City". The "Hongqiao" is about 100 meters long and is a two-story, three-hole stone arch wind and rain bridge with a simple, solid and heavy appearance. The left and right sides of the bridge are where the "Phoenix Ancient City" stilt houses are most concentrated. It is also the place where the "Tuojiang River" flows through the ancient city wall and turns south to enter the "Shawan Huilongtan".

I have been there twice. The first time was N years ago. The scenery there is beautiful and the people are more pure. This time I went there with my comrades. I felt that it was better than what was said on the Internet. There was no need to buy a pass. This place is still worth a visit. This is a photo of the first time.

The passage on the first floor of Hongqiao has shops on both sides and the second floor is the Folk Culture Building. From here, you can cross the bridge to the south bank of Tuojiang River.

I didn't understand its origin and value because of the guide's accent.

If the small shops along the coast are opened by young people, they are generally very artistic and fresh. If they are opened by locals, they are generally very expensive.

The Rainbow Bridge, also known as the "Wind and Rain Tower", lies across the Tuojiang River and is the central landmark of the ancient city of Fenghuang. The bridge has two floors. The first floor is a pedestrian walkway where tourists can travel back and forth between the two sides of the Tuojiang River, and the second floor overlooks Fenghuang. It was built in the early years of the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. In addition to connecting the two sides of the Tuojiang River, it now has more commercial functions. There are two floors on the bridge. The second floor is a viewing tower and a tea art tower. Climb up the tower and look out, and you can see the beautiful scenery of Fenghuang. The spacious Hongyanban sidewalk on the first floor is lined with a variety of small shops, including craft jewelry, ginger candy snacks, and people playing drums and singing. It is so lively

Hongqiao is a landmark building in the ancient city. The first floor is a pedestrian street, which mainly sells specialties. The Internet-famous milk tea shop "Encounter Milk Tea" is here, and the second floor is an art gallery. You have to pass Hongqiao wherever you go every day, and there are a lot of people.

Hongqiao was originally a wind and rain bridge across the Tuojiang River, but now it has become a market for selling goods, which is a pity. I hope it can be well protected.

In the past, you could open the window on the second floor of the bridge to enjoy the river view. Now the bridge has become a commercial street, and it only takes five minutes to walk.

When you come to Fenghuang Ancient Town, you must visit Hongqiao. There are large and small bridges connecting the two banks in the ancient town for tourists to walk on. Among them, Hongqiao is the most representative.

On the second day, we visited the nine scenic spots in Fenghuang. Except for the former residence of Xiong Xiling, the remaining eight scenic spots appeared in today's photo album. After leaving the inn, we were directly facing the Hongqiao Bridge, which had an ancient style and a sense of vicissitudes. The Hongqiao Bridge, also known as the "Wind and Rain Tower", lies across the Tuojiang River and is considered the central landmark of Fenghuang Ancient Town.

If you are a couple 💏 who come to Hongqiao, you must walk hand in hand from one end of the bridge to the other, and you cannot look back halfway. I wish you will grow old together and stay together for the rest of your life.

From Hongqiao, you can see the whole Phoenix City and the picturesque scenery on both sides of the Tuojiang River. Hongqiao is divided into two floors. The first floor is mainly for shops and grocery stores, and the second floor is the folk culture building, which contains all the calligraphy and painting works about Hongqiao Fengyu Tower from ancient times to the present. It is also a good place for sightseeing and drinking tea.

I went to Fenghuang twice. The first time I walked on Hongqiao, and the second time I just looked at it from a distance. After all, there are always many people in the ancient city.

Hongqiao is different from the four bridges of snow, wind, cloud and fog. Hongqiao is a restoration of historical relics. Built in the Ming Dynasty, the attic on the bridge was once destroyed. The Hongqiao Fengyulou that you see now was restored in 2000. The first floor of Fengyulou is a grocery market. The second floor, like the other 9 scenes, exhibits some works of art that are hard to understand. Lifting the bamboo curtain on the Hongqiao Fengyulou, the view from the window is really beautiful. Different from the perspective on both sides of the Tuojiang River, it is instantly open. Why can't the Hongqiao Fengyulou exist as a quiet viewing platform? Why do you have to close the windows, put down the bamboo curtains, and shut all the beautiful scenery and the refreshing mountain breeze out of the window, making people stuffy in the house and looking at some random "artworks". If you really want it to exist like a tourist attraction that can charge admission, it would be better to make it a teahouse.

I really want to put a broken wooden table here, put a big iron kettle, drink some coarse tea, and crack some melon seeds.

Although it was cloudy, with the dark sky, I could see the scenery on both sides of the Tuojiang River from the balcony, including the quaint eaves and pavilions, and alleys and lanes like narrow paths. I felt that it was more layered than the West Street in Yangshuo.

When you come to Fenghuang Ancient Town, you basically have to go there. It's good.

The entrance of the Hongqiao Bridge, which has always appeared in my sight and lies across the Tuojiang River, is finally visible. It is more appropriate to call it a building than a bridge. Today's Hongqiao Bridge is no longer the vicissitudes of the past. The Hongqiao Bridge, which has traveled through hundreds of years, has history and stories, although the new bridge has only been completed for a few years. It is said that if you want to see the customs paintings of the ancient city, you can't go wrong in Hongqiao. Hongqiao Bridge is a two-story building, and the first floor is where small shops gather. I remember that there are more ginger tea sellers, and there are also African drum sellers, and the business is promising. The second floor is an art exhibition, which is empty and deserted.

Lying across the Mother River, Hongqiao is not only one of the most famous attractions in Fenghuang, but also a good place for tourists to shop. From Hongqiao, you can see the entire Fenghuang City and the picturesque scenery on both sides of the Tuojiang River. Hongqiao is divided into two floors. The first floor is mainly for shops and grocery stores, and the second floor is the Folk Culture Building, which contains all the calligraphy and painting works about Hongqiao Fengyu Tower from ancient times to the present. It is also a good place for sightseeing and drinking tea.

This city has waited for you for a thousand years. Come on, Phoenix.

One person, one river, one city.

A rainbow bridge and a misty rain.

The ancient city is there, with love in the heart and natural beauty in the scenery.

The viewing platform near Hongqiao, the temple inside is full of tricks and charges in disguise, and they also say they won't return the vows. Although Fenghuang is beautiful, the tricks are deep! I won't come to this place again next time

A bridge connecting the two sides of the Tuojiang River. There is nothing on it, mainly art exhibitions. You can go and see it when you pass by. The scenery is nice.

From the outside, Hongqiao looks like the gate of a house, with small shops selling souvenirs on both sides.

Looking out from Hongqiao, you can see Wanming Tower. It is particularly beautiful under the colorful lights at night.

The night view of Fenghuang is very beautiful, with brilliant lights at night, very artistic. Sitting in a bar at night may give you a different experience!

^_^^_^ So beautiful hahahahahaha

There is a covered bridge on this ancient street, called Hongqiao. Based on the old bridge piers, a new covered bridge mall was built on it, and pedestrians can walk in the middle. Tuojiang River flows under the bridge piers of Hongqiao, and the reflection of Hongqiao is reflected in the river. Small open boats cruise in the river. Under the setting sun, it is full of poetic and picturesque scenery.

There is also a very good gourmet restaurant near Hongqiao: Xiangxi Past Second Floor Food Tribe

This restaurant can not only eat delicious food, but also drink coffee, cold drinks and have supper. We ate delicious food, which tasted very good. The key is that the environment of the store is very good, and you can also see the scenery of Tuojiang River. It's really nice.

This Hongqiao Bridge is not the one in Shanghai. I only discovered this archway after I passed by.

Hongqiao is one of the nine scenic spots in Fenghuang and a popular place for taking photos. It is even more beautiful at night.

Fenghuang Hongqiao is located near Hongqiao Middle Road, Fenghuang County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. It intersects with Minzu Street vertically and horizontally, reflecting each other, forming a picture of ancient urban customs. The Hongqiao Fengyu Tower is located in Fenghuang County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. The Hongqiao Fengyu Tower lies across the Tuojiang River, and the Fengyu Tower rises up with its magnificence and beauty. This is actually an overlapping landscape. This landscape has gone through more than 600 years of history from bottom to top and from ancient times to the present.

Not bad, Fenghuang Ancient Town is not too big or too small, and you're almost at the end of the road here.

Hongqiao was originally named Wohongqiao. It was built in the ninth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty. It was rebuilt in the third year of the Republic of China and renamed Hongqiao. The first floor is a shop, and in the middle is a long corridor for people to walk. There is a roof above the corridor to avoid wind and rain, so it is also called Fengyulou. The second floor is now a folk culture and art museum, which is included in the Phoenix Nine Scenery Ticket.

As a landmark building in Fenghuang Ancient Town, you must go there. But you need a ticket to go to the second floor to see the view. Without a ticket, the staff will not let you go up. However, it is recommended to watch the night view of Hongqiao from a distance at Shawan Pier, which is really beautiful.

There are many Phoenix Bridges, all of which are similar to Hongqiao Bridges. They are more beautiful at night.

When you come to Fenghuang, you can't miss Hongqiao and Hongqiao Fengyu Tower. Fengyu Tower may be rare for people in the north, but it can be found in many places in the south, but it is still worth a visit.

To be honest, Fenghuang Ancient Town is the most disappointing place I have visited this year. If you have time and are interested, you can come to Guizhou to see our Zhenyuan Ancient Town. It is definitely not worse than Fenghuang. In comparison, I think Zhenyuan Ancient Town is slightly better!

There is a bridge in Fenghuang Ancient Town that is quite distinctive and representative. There are many vendors selling small accessories and objects on the bridge, and the bridgeside is also relatively lively.

This place doesn't have much special features during the day, but it is a good place to stand on the bridge and enjoy the scenery at night. Many photographers will find a spot on the bridge just to take pictures of the beauty of Phoenix.
