Hey / What's up
Furong Ancient Town is built around a natural 60-metre waterfall that pours directly through the middle of the village โ the main street overlooks the falls, and at night the illuminated mist creates an otherworldly atmosphere. Arrive by taking the river boat from Wangcun, which approaches the town from below and gives the most dramatic reveal of the 'hanging town' perched on the cliff.
