凤凰古城街巷内，四处人流如织，烟火味十足。凤凰银饰加工、蜡染技艺等非遗文化以及独特的民族风情让蓝如瑾不时驻足拍照留念。

The streets and alleys of the Fenghuang Ancient Town are filled with people. Fenghuang silver processing, batik techniques, intangible heritage culture and unique ethnic customs make Melissa Lan stops to take photos from time to time.

夜幕初上，沱江河畔灯火璀璨，蓝如瑾一行泛舟顺流而下，领略流光溢彩的两岸美景，尽情享受浪漫十足的“夜凤凰”。

At the early night, the lights on the banks of the Tuo River were shining brightly, and Melissa Lan and her party rafted downstream, enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river, and appreciating the romantic "Night Phoenix".
