A group of people traveling is not destined to be lonely and boring. Whether it is the early morning, or late at night when you refuse to fall asleep.

I don't know if there is a city in your heart, although you have never been there, but you know very well the city's grass, trees, streets and all the way, and even every square of land in the city, the story of the main character may be a youth, a pair of lovers or a stray dog.

The ancient town of Fenghuang is this city in my heart, although I have not been there before, and obviously I will not go there again in the future. My memory of her will always remain after this group of people, her buildings her water her gloom her gentleness. My impression of this group of people will also be refreshed from here, their laughter their hilarity their bravado their greatness.

It was the first day of our trip.

On the Tuo River, the light rain was blown by the wind into the tilting canoe, and the men in the boat, laughing and joking, along with the scenery on both sides of the river, went downstream. It is a very comfortable river, its water is clear, its water is cold, its water is rippling, its water carries the sunrise and sunset of the ancient city, its water records the people coming and going on both sides.

Hongqiao, it spans the Tuo River, how do not know so a span is hundreds of years, through how many storms, it is still so securely standing. The bridge is crowded, perhaps people just focus on the blue waves of the Tuo River under the bridge, but ignored its back, it has been supporting people for a hundred years. Rainbow bridge in the distance, the distant mountains, the distant city, the distant dark clouds and the Tuo River water meet endlessly, the ancient city under the cloudy and rainy haze has a different flavor. The girl playing the umbrella, flowery green raincoat, washed by the rain streets, dripping water hanging corner building, all this into the eyes, is really refreshing, no wonder it will make a group of people are quiet, each concentrated on the beauty.

The night is getting thicker, the early lights, the ancient city seems to have changed into another flavor of the veil, the beauty of the ancient town of Fenghuang, in the night is particularly outstanding. The red cage lights hanging outside the hanging towers on both sides of the Tuo River are lit up, and the lights on the river are shaking, and the lights under the Fenghuang night are brilliant and dazzling, like a "fire phoenix" that starts to restlessly stir. The night here is not calm, just like our hearts, eager to release. In the small bar by the river, around the long table put together, began a night of mingling. Just sitting there by the riverside, watching the crowd with water lanterns in the distance, listening to the singing accompaniment guitar, talking about the marginal persuasive words, and that's it.

The sky was gray and light, and the Tuo River was already crowded with people. It was the second day of our trip.

The ancient town walls have been through the vicissitudes of history, washing away the dust of the years, the red sand bricks remain. Stepping on the stone bricks with countless footprints, touching the stone railings with countless fingerprints, holding my breath and meditating, the lanterns hanging alone in the eaves, the half-wall with luxuriant grass. Walking in the city walls, the old people we met on the road are still working hard with their hands to make a living, walking in this they do not know how many times they have walked through thousands of years of wind and rain on the stone road.

"I have traveled to many places of bridges, seen many times the clouds, drank many kinds of wine, but only loved a person at the right age". The border city of Fenghuang, although the commercial atmosphere is getting thick, but it exudes the kind of beauty and romance from the inside out, as long as the heart to experience, can still feel its urgent need to be understood by us. We, a group of people, so vastly passing through the Fenghuang town.
