Biancheng Chadong Scenic Area

Do not confuse Chadong with Fenghuang

Biancheng Chadong is connected with the setting behind Shen Congwen's Border Town. It is not a small sight inside Fenghuang Ancient Town.

Half a day is enough for the core area

Chadong is small, and half a day is enough for the main route. Start on the Hunan-side old street, visit the Border Town memorial area, walk by the Qingshui River and the one step across three provinces area, then take the small ferry toward Hong'an in Chongqing.

Try the hand-pulled ferry, but keep it simple

The hand-pulled ferry is the most memorable small experience here. The ride is short, and the fun is crossing between Hunan and Chongqing by a very local method.

Slow down around Cuicui Island, the White Pagoda, and the riverside

If you have more time, walk around Cuicui Island, the White Pagoda, and the riverside path. This is not a place to rush through a checklist.

Park outside the core area if self-driving

On holidays, do not try to drive into the narrow roads and core area. It is usually easier to park in an outer lot and walk in.
