Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture is located in the northwestern part of Hunan Province, in the middle of the Wuling Mountains, at the junction of Hunan, Hubei, Chongqing and Guizhou, and is known as the "Gateway to Northwest Hunan". There are 28 ethnic groups living here, including Tujia, Miao and Han, and the rich ethnic flavor blends with the landscape, giving birth to the unique charm of "Mysterious Western Hunan". Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie, a world natural heritage, Furong Town, a thousand-year-old town, and Fenghuang Ancient Town, the most beautiful small city in China, are located here, while Shen Congwen's former residence and the ruins of Laosicheng City tell a rich history. Non-heritage cultures such as the Tujia Hand Dance, Miao Silver Jewelry, and the New Year's Eve Festival have been passed down vividly, and the flavorful food such as western Hunan bacon and Miao fish in sour soup is mouth-watering. This piece of land combines natural wonders, humanistic heritage and ethnic customs, and is a must-visit place to experience the original western Hunan culture.
