Fenghuang is a well-preserved ancient town in western Hunan Province, about a half hour south of Jishou. It is the birthplace of author Shen Congwen and residence of artist Huang Yongyu.

Most of Fenghuang's sites can be visited with a "through ticket". There are three versions. The first includes the Yang Family Ancestral Hall, East Gate Tower, the upper gallery of the Hong Bridge, and a few other smaller attractions. The second ticket includes the first ticket plus the Gucheng Museum and Wanshou temple, valid for 2 days. The third ticket is a Fenghuang regional through ticket that, in addition to the previous two through tickets, includes the Southern Great Wall and Miao Village valid for 3 days.
