In which city is Furong Town located?

Furong Town is located in Yongshun County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province.

Furong Town is a canyon flat dam at the junction of Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. In ancient times, it was an important pass for business travelers to rest, heroes to gather for righteousness, and military strategists to compete. There are two waterways, a stream and a river, flowing around the town. It is surrounded by water on three sides and is a long and narrow peninsula-like terrain.

Starting from the town, go south to the crossing and go to Guangdong; go west and cross the stone arch bridge, which is a road leading to Guangxi. It is impossible to verify which dynasty and which generation it was. The local officials who guarded this place implemented benevolent policies, or they were arty. They ordered people to plant several long skating hibiscus trees beside the streams and rivers, which were pure and green, and became this small town. In order to appreciate the unique scenery, they also sent people to dig out the large swamp at the foot of the back mountain into a square pond, which was filled with water hibiscus, fish farming, lotus picking, and lotus root production.

Whenever the hibiscus bloom in the lakes and ponds, or when the hibiscus bloom on the river bank, this town is a good place to enjoy the hibiscus. Therefore, Furong Town, together with Longshan Liye Town, Luxi Pu Shi Town and Huayuan Chadong Town, is known as one of the "Four Famous Towns in Western Hunan", and is also known as "Little Nanjing".

Furong Town, formerly known as Wangcun, is an ancient town with a history of more than 2,000 years. It is also known as the "thousand-year-old town hanging on the waterfall" because of the magnificent waterfalls passing through it. The movie "Furong Town" was filmed here, so it was renamed "Furong Town".

Introduction to the origin of Furong Town:

Furong Town, formerly known as Wangcun, is an ancient town with a history of 2,000 years. In the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Furong Town was established as the seat of Youyang County. "Youyang Xiongzhen". Because of the advantage of the boat collection, it could connect Sichuan and Guizhou and lower to Shanghai and Hangzhou, so Tang Bohu wrote the inscription "Chu Shu Tong Tianjin" here.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Peng Shichou, the chieftain king of Xizhou, and Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, launched the most famous "Battle of Xizhou" in the history of the Tujia people. In 940 AD, both parties agreed to establish Xizhou bronze pillars in Huixiping. From then on, the chieftain dynasty of Xizhou for more than 800 years and 28 generations was established.

Nowadays, many people don’t know the name “Wangcun”, but if we talk about “Furong Town”, then it will be familiar to anyone who has watched the movie directed by Xie Jin. "Furong Town" was a fictional place name that originally existed in ancient Chinese novels, but now it has traveled to reality and become the name of one of the four famous towns in western Hunan. From the busy water pier to the new pier in today's tourist market, this ancient town has completed its largest transformation so far.
