Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Phoenix Ancient Town. Head to Dehang Miao Village, where the journey itself is a feast for the eyes, with the car windows serving as an IMAX screen, showcasing the picturesque landscapes of Xiangxi.

Delve into the “Pearl of the Canyon” Dehang Miao Village, stroll beneath the Liusha Waterfall, and breathe in the air rich in negative ions. Visit the ancient stilt houses and learn about the architectural wisdom of the Miao people. If the timing is right, immerse yourself in a warm Miao welcoming ceremony, experiencing the unique charm of the blocking wine and bamboo pole dance.

Next, enjoy authentic Xiangxi farm cuisine near the Miao village or on the way to Dawei. Your guide can recommend local restaurants where you can taste specialities like blood-coagulated duck and sour fish soup.

Arrive at Dawei Scenic Area and take the scenic area transport to the clouds. Walk on the observation deck of Dawei Bridge, challenge the thrilling glass walkway, and take in the “road wonder” and the magnificent canyon. Capture breathtaking photos.

Return to Phoenix with a full heart and photos. You can rest in the car or share your morning experiences with your guide. Return to the ancient town at this time to avoid the afternoon crowds. The golden hour for capturing the reflections of the Tuojiang River and the Snow Bridge and Rainbow Bridge is at dusk.

As night falls, witness how the ancient town is transformed into a fairyland by the lights. Highly recommended is a stroll along the Tuojiang River, from the Jumping Stones to the Rainbow Bridge, where every frame is a masterpiece.
