定西凤凰城

定西凤凰城,又称凤凰古城,位于定西市安定区周家庄内。城中古建筑结构精巧严谨,造型简洁大方,富有民族特色,充分体现了古代劳动人民建筑才能和艺术创造力。但经过数朝历代的战火,现荡然无存。

 

Fenghuang County

Fenghuang County is under the administration of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan province. It has an exceptionally well-preserved ancient town that harbors unique ethnic languages, customs, arts as well as many distinctive architectural remains of Ming and Qing styles. The town is placed in a mountain setting, incorporating the natural flow of water into city layout. Over half of the city's population belong to the Miao or Tujia minorities. It was the center of the unsuccessful Miao Rebellion (1854–73), which created a Miao diaspora in Southeast Asia during the last two centuries. The city is revered in Miao traditions and funeral rites and is the location of the Southern China Great Wall, a fortification built by the Ming dynasty to protect the local Han Chinese from Miao attacks.
