In Hunan, China, there is a beautiful land called Xiangxi.
It's a magical land. Here the landscape is picturesque, the colors are ethereal, and the river runs through the town with its back to the green mountains, flowing day and night, silent.
Here the stilt house stands on the riverside, the eaves are flying, quiet and proper, and there are always people sitting on the high stilt tower by the river looking in the direction of the river.
There are romantic feelings soaked in the beautiful water, there are Zhi Xi Li you lan, ferries, Chu Ge...
There are villages and ancient cities scattered among the mountains and rivers, Liye, Furong Town, Cha Tong, GouLan Yao Village...
If you want to say where the most mysterious place in Hunan is, then it must be Xiangxi.
Due to its geographical location on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the rugged landform and the lifestyle of the locals have made Xiangxi basically isolated from the world for a long time.
