The stilted buidings on both sides of the Tuojiang River are unique,the night view of Phoenix Ancient City is very charming. Tuojiang River Night Cruise is becoming an important event which more and more tourists must do while they visit Fenghuang Ancient Town.
Tuojiang River is the mother river of the Fenghuang Ancient City, a small city under the jurisdiction of the Tujia Autonomous Prefecture of Hunan Province, borders northern Guizhou Province and eastern Chongqing Municipality. It flows around the ancient city wall of Fenghuang slowly, nurturing the people of the town for generations. Tuijiang River has a total length of 131 kilometers, 96.9 kilometers of which flows through Fenghuang area. Tuojiang River is surrounded by and reflects multiple-storey wooden houses of the Tujia Ethnic's style (known as “Diaojiaolou”) in Fenghuang ancient town. These hundreds of years' buildings add more colors to Tuojiang River.
It is an interesting thing to take a boat cruise along Tuojiang River. Stretching diagonally from the northwest to southeast of the town, Tuojiang River is a life force of the local people. Here in its waters women wash their clothes and the men fish with their nets, while on the bank food is prepared in much the same way as it has for centuries. And taking a boat is a good way to see how Diaojiaolou building stands along the river and get close to the local life.
