The minute I saw this, I was thinking "wait... is that.. Fenghuang?" I was in that wonderful town last summer - truly one of the most interesting places I've ever visited.

I posted a whole bunch of photos on my blog - if you have type, check it out and search "Fenghuang" - most of my shots were portraits of people we came across, but this is beautiful!
