Fenghuang – the chinese town that time forgot

I would love to visit this city, or at the very least, build it in Minecraft.

Fenhuangis an old town in Hunan province, China, with a history spanning 1,300 years, and architecture dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is well-known for its stilt houses, folk culture, ethnic groups and fantastic landscape. The town is placed in a mountain setting, incorporating the natural flow of water into city layout. Fenghuang means Phoenix in Chinese language and it represents good omen and longevity in Chinese mythology.

Those photos are amazing! Love the “bridge” especially.

Although I’m especially amused by the idea that the alternative to visiting the city is to build it in Minecraft.

  Well, Minecraft is cheaper. 😉 Actually, Minecraft is my way of relaxing. I have a world I’ve been building on for 3 years or so. I built a version of Notre Dame Cathedral. Of course, yes, I’d still rather visit the place. 🙂
