Tuojiang Diaojiaolou

The small and beautiful stilted building, like a young girl, stands on the Bank of Tuojiang River in the southeast of the ancient city. It is one of the ancient buildings with rich Miao architectural characteristics in Fenghuang ancient city.

Walking into the ancient city of Phoenix, people's eyes will be attracted by the stilted buildings of the Tuojiang River. The reason why it is called "Jue" is that it is certain that in the land of Western Hunan, even in the whole country, the only one with such a large group of stilted buildings is Fenghuang ancient city. It can be said that the Diaojiaolou formation is an important architectural landscape of Fenghuang ancient city, which is a national historical and cultural city. The best place to see Diaojiaolou is in Shawan area, or sitting on the wooden boat of Tuojiang River.

Tuojiang Diaojiaolou

Tuojiang River is the mother river of Phoenix. It flows slowly according to the city wall and feeds the children of the ancient city for generations. Sitting on the boat, listening to the boatman's song and looking at the Tujia Diaojiaolou, which has a history of 100 years on both sides of the Strait, has a special charm. Down the river, across Hongqiao, a picture of Jiangnan Water Village is displayed: Longevity Palace, Wanming tower, duocui tower A feeling of being far away from the world. On the South Bank of the Tuojiang River is the ancient city wall, which is built with purple red sandstone, elegant and majestic. There are two towers in the East and north of the city wall, which are still magnificent after many vicissitudes. The water of Tuojiang River is clear, and the river beside the city wall is very shallow. The current is leisurely and gentle. You can see the swaggering water plants in the soft wave, which can support a long pole. The Diaojiaolou group built along the Tuojiang River is near the Hongqiao bridge in the east gate and Tiaoyan in the north gate. It stands in the Tuojiang River with thin feet, like a scenery that will never come back.
