My morning breakfast at Fengqi Wenhao Hotel consisted of a surprisingly tasty nasi goreng.
After breakfast, it was time for our lunch - which was a few hours drive away in Furong town, a 2000 year old ancient town and home to the Tujia minority people.
Most of the restaurants we dined in are huge and very instagrammable.
This pork belly was as good as it looks!
This steamed chicken was very similar to our local Hainanese chicken.
It turned out to be a wet afternoon after lunch as soon as we reached this outdoor place which was a huge park rich in its natural landscape.
Mini ensemble for a wet day.
Group photo is a must at famous checkpoints and Hayley has become accustomed to being the Sri America mini brand ambassador throughout our trip of 20 travelling enthusiasts!
As the rain got heavier, our spirits were certainly not dampened as we came prepared with our raincoats and umbrellas. Only thing we wished we had were shoe covers, which became very conveniently available to buy since the rain started.
Some historical brass pillars
If this town looked so good during the daytime, it was gonna be even more stunning in the evening and nightime.
A place well known for its 60m high waterfall that cascades into a spectacular drop.
Luckily the rain stopped for us to take more pictures around the town.
Another highlight of our trip was being able to walk underneath the waterfall and through its caves.
The hotel we checked in, Aniad was super convenient as it was a mere 100m walk to the astonishing Furong Town, plus it was by far everyone’s favourite accommodation this entire trip. Check out the ‘atas’ feel of this hotel!
Even better, there was a mini super market just beside Aniad Hotel!
Cured meat, anyone?
Back to our room in Aniad, have a look at this vid.
Their complementary toiletry pleasantly surprised me as they not only have Vit E in them but they smelled so freaking good. A quick google about the brand Perricone MD showed the same bottle was from US and selling at RM 82 online!
The exterior of hotel was very serene and calm too.
The shows were so good and interactive as the dancers in traditional wear danced to upbeat music and even invited the participation of enthusiastic spectators to join them.
We continued our stroll along the same path we took during the day, just to experience the vast difference.
What can i say but the view was breathtakingly stunning!
Loved their ever changing myriad of lights!
Artistic giant mural…
But alas, their last piece of chicken just ran out as we were informed they were closed for the day. It was only 9pm! 🫩
