Furong Town, located in Yongshun County, Xiangxi, Hunan, has a history of more than 2,000 years. It was built on a cliff. The river runs through the town, forming a spectacular waterfall on the edge of the cliff, which makes it famous. The ancient town is built on the mountain and surrounded by water on three sides with beautiful scenery. The Youshui River that runs through the town forms a two-step waterfall as high as 60 meters when passing over the cliff. The Tujia stilt houses built on the cliff are lined up one after another, as if they are "hanging on the waterfall". Such a wonder has attracted countless tourists.
My Nikon D-810 was on tripod and with f/5.6, 1/125 and ISO of 640. Post-processing of local enhancement of saturation and contrast was done in Viveza3.

This is quite a unique and spectacular scene with lots of history. You captured it well with the tall waterfall leading up to the cluster of unusual buildings. The architecture of the buildings is quite different...a blend of old and modern. Nicely captured! Posted: 03/05/2025 06:49:18

Pleasant shot taken at an attractive time of day with the lights of the buildings standing out in the evening light. The waterfall adds another dimension to an enjoyable image. Posted: 03/21/2025 18:54:11
