Furong Town was originally called Wangcun Village. However, in 1997, it was renamed after the successful Chinese movie "Hibiscus Town," which was filmed in this town. Enjoying a history of more than 2,000 years, the town was once the palace of Tusi chieftain. The Tusi system was an ancient chieftain system adopted by feudal Chinese emperors to govern ethnic minorities in the southwest from the 13th to the early 20th century. "Tusi" refers to a tribal leader appointed as an imperial official by the central government.
It is known as "a thousand-year-old town hanging on the waterfall." At present, Furong Town has more than 180 cultural and entertainment facilities. More than 130 of them are open at night. Experiencing the night view has become a bright calling card of Furong Town.
