Message from Luke Micheli

Fenghuang County, located in Hunan Province, China, is known for its well-preserved ancient town that showcases unique ethnic languages, customs, and architectural styles from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The town sits amidst a picturesque mountain setting with the Tuojiang River flowing through it. Home to the Miao and Tujia minorities, Fenghuang County was once the center of the Miao Rebellion and is revered in local traditions. Visitors can explore the town's rich history, visit the childhood home of modern author Shen Congwen, and enjoy the vibrant culture of this charming destination.
