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.
