What to expect
Furong is a traditional Tujia village built directly on top of a powerful waterfall, with wooden houses clinging to the cliff edge. Water runs through the village itself, creating constant motion, mist, and sound. At night, lanterns light up the walkways while the waterfall becomes the main character, making this location especially strong for moody, cinematic content.

How to get there
• High-speed train to Furongzhen Station
• 15–20 min taxi or shuttle to the village entrance
• Located around 1–1.5 hrs from Zhangjiajie by car

Best time to shoot
• Season: April–June, Sept–Nov
• Time: Blue hour and night for lanterns and waterfall glow, early morning for fewer crowds

Highlight
• Ancient village built over a waterfall
• Night scenes with mist, lanterns, and flowing water that translate extremely well on video
