Last updated 2026-11-08 — From September 22 to October 7, a 16-day "Family Dreams & Kiwi Moon in Xiangxi" family tourism festival will be held in Furong Town. The event will take place at the main venue—the millennia-old town of Furong, hanging over a waterfall—and several other distinctive and charming scenic spots nearby, offering you an authentic taste of Xiangxi’s magic.

When we were kids, our parents once said they wanted to give us the whole world.

Later, as we grew up, we hoped to show the world to our parents.

But life got busy, and we got caught up in the little things.

And before we knew it, the time spent with our parents grew less and less.

This time, let this trip be your way

to give back to your beloved family.

This Mid-Autumn and National Day, take your parents on an unforgettable "moon gathering" in Xiangxi. Take them back 500 million years to explore the "stone world" of the Ordovician seabed. Walk with them through ancient stone-paved streets and stilted houses in a millennia-old town. Visit breathtaking canyons and ravines to fulfill their youthful adventurous dreams. Take a boat ride along the river while listening to their stories from the past...

From September 22 to October 7, we are thrilled to present a 16-day "Family Dreams & Kiwi Moon in Xiangxi" family tourism festival, featuring the main venue—the millennia-old town of Furong, hanging over a waterfall—and a variety of uniquely charming nearby scenic spots, giving you an immersive experience of Xiangxi’s charm.

A 500-million-year-old geological wonder—Hongshiyan National Geological Park.

The Tujia mother river—You River Gallery.

The most spectacular canyon in central-southern China—Zuolong Gorge.

The most thrilling valley in the Miao territory—Phoenix Tianlong Gorge.

A Miao village stronghold—La’hao Camp.

Feeling tempted? Hold on, there’s more to come:

Your filial piety, our treat—parents get free entry to Xiangxi!

When we were little, it was our parents who took us on adventures, helping us discover the wonders of the world. Now that we’ve grown up and love to travel, have you ever noticed the glimmer in your parents’ eyes when you come back and share your exciting stories? While time is still on your side and the sun is shining bright, take your parents on a journey filled with love this Mid-Autumn.

Social media hotspot: A giant moon rising above the waterfall.

In the fast-paced, neon-lit cities where people rarely look up at the sky, the Mid-Autumn "family" festival brings a "super moon" soaring above the waterfall in Furong Town. Let the most beautiful moonlight in Furong Town touch the hearts of city dwellers and light up the nation’s social feeds once again. This “millennia-old town hanging over a waterfall” will evoke nostalgia with its deep cultural heritage.
