Where is more fun in Changsha, Xi 'an and Fenghuang Ancient City? Pick a place to play for about 3 days. It was recommended by people who have been to Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Phoenix project 1. Travel route

It is suggested to take the train, and you may meet some like-minded friends on the train. More importantly, hehe, it is more affordable for students.

If you choose the direction of Jishou or Huaihua by train (sorry, please check the specific train number and time online or at the ticket window), sit at Jishou Railway Station, and then get off and leave the station.

Special recommendation: Generally, Miao girls can be seen in Jishou Railway Station. They are dressed in bright colors and greet guests with Miao drums. They are from Dehang Scenic Area. The performance at the railway station is free. You can enjoy it for a while.

After arriving at Jishou Railway Station, you can see the CMB that goes directly to Deutsche Bahn or Phoenix (there is a sign, so it is not worthwhile to charter a car by one person). The fare to Phoenix is about 15 yuan, which takes about an hour and a half, and all the way is paved with asphalt, so I don't feel bumpy.

2. Local accommodation

There are many diaojiao buildings near Tuojiang River. In order to see the night view of Tuojiang River at night, you can stay there. After bargaining, the price is about 50-60 yuan one night (off-season). If you can't see the cheapness of Tuojiang River, you can ask the place. Generally, there are no single rooms, rooms with 2-3 beds, 20-30 yuan/bed, air conditioning (the boss will charge extra for air conditioning, please discuss in advance) and separate bathrooms. It is recommended to compare several companies before making a decision. House prices will rise on holidays or weekends, so be prepared. In addition, if you want to try something new, you can also go to the Youth Travel Service in Phoenix (there is one in Wanmingta), which should be a good place to make friends.

Generally, it is very cheap to eat in small shops. You can have a bowl of rice noodles in 3 yuan for breakfast, and special dishes such as stewed duck with blood and pickled fish hot pot are more expensive, which is 28-35 yuan. See what kind of restaurant you eat in.

Special snacks include sour radish, social food, tung leaf Baba, snail and bean jelly. The barbecue on Hongqiao is also very good. There are many kinds. Mutton kebabs or beef kebabs are five yuan each (pocket-sized) and taste very good.

Visit scenic spots

You can buy a Phoenix tourist map "Wandering Phoenix" published by Hunan Fine Arts Publishing House in Phoenix Flower 4-5 yuan, and ask the boss to stamp you with several commemorative medals (be sure to specify different ones, otherwise he will stamp you with the same ones). Then you can take it everywhere. Don't lose that map, it is also a good souvenir to take back. You can look at the information provided above. Introduce food and shelter.

You can buy a package ticket to visit the ancient city or take a one-day tour of the local travel agency. (Note: Visiting the ancient city of Fenghuang is free, and only tickets are needed to visit the eight and ten scenic spots of Fenghuang. There are two packages, Phoenix Eight Scenes Package: including Shen Congwen's former residence, Xiong Xiling's former residence, Yangjia Ancestral Hall, Dongmen Tower, boating on the Tuojiang River, the second floor of Hongqiao, Chongde Hall and Wanshou Palace. Ticket price 138 yuan/person. Ten Scenes of Phoenix: On the basis of the Eight Scenes of Phoenix, the Great Wall of South China, Qiliangdong in Tang Dynasty and Huangsiqiao Ancient City have been added. The fare is 2 16 yuan/person. Remember, the eight scenic spots and ten scenic spots of Phoenix can enjoy a half-price discount with the student ID card. You can save some money. In addition, don't go to the ancient city of Huangsiqiao in the Ten Scenes. Although it has certain value, it is not well managed now, and it will be very disappointing to go. ) Some paid attractions are not necessarily worth seeing. It is recommended not to buy a package and transfer it yourself. The ancient city is so big that you can walk around casually, and there is no guide who always urges you to hurry up.

There will be many people dragging you to take pictures in Miao costumes in Tiaoyan. Just rent clothes and take photos of 2-3 yuan yourself. If they take pictures, 5 yuan/Zhang. In fact, it is also cost-effective. He is an old photographer who has taken photos for many years. They are much more experienced in taking pictures of light than you are, and the photos they take are naturally beautiful. You can also ask them to help you process it into a card size that can be put into your wallet, and it is resistant to collection, but it will cost more money.

The second floor of Hongqiao is a teahouse, which is a good place to enjoy the scenery.

There are two sections for boating in Tuojiang River. The travel company's boat journey is from Tiaoyan to Shen Congwen Cemetery, and you can buy tickets at the North Gate Tower (Tiaoyan). Although the trip is short, it is the most intense part of Xiangxi. Take a private boat from Shen Congwen Cemetery to Taohua Island (a newly-opened tourist spot, you need tickets to 20 yuan, where there are many peach trees, and you can watch and participate in Miao folk performances), 7-8 yuan/person. The river is shallow, so you can experience the feeling of rowing with paddles. You can also ask the boatman to sing a folk song or sing with tourists from other boats. In summer, people between ships will also have a water war, so we should be fully prepared for protection.

There is also drifting outside the city, which can be seen on the way to Phoenix, probably 1 10 yuan/person.

In the surrounding Miao villages, there are many private developments with uneven quality and mixed opinions. It's good to go there and experience the customs of Miao village. The recommended places are Laozhai, Shenlong Canyon, Duluo Village and Jiang Shan Miao Village. There are many ticket agents in this city, so you can negotiate with them in Kan Kan.

You can go to Hongqiao Qiaotou for supper at night. There are many varieties and everything. You can also buy a few dollars' wishing lamp by the Tuojiang River and put it in the river to make your good wishes (every morning I see the cleaners salvaging the "wreckage" of the wishing lamp, I find this wonderful activity quite frustrating and destructive to the environment). If you want to try the bar style, there are many bars along the Tuojiang River. Just find someone who feels good. There will be a party in the city in the evening, around 60 yuan.

go shopping

I don't recommend a specific store, lest I say that I am advertising at the expense of others. Locals are easier to talk to.

Generally speaking, there are batik and embroidery, costumes, silver ornaments (both worn and decorated), bone carvings, root carvings, pyrography, sand paintings, and many books and postcards describing Xiangxi.

I ate ginger sugar, twist sugar, dried kiwi fruit, sugar ginger and stewed duck with blood (vacuum packed).

Drink by the catty, and then buy other utensils (such as gourd or bamboo tube).

5. What you need to bring

Needless to say, personal belongings, cash (there are few places where you can swipe your card), camera, toiletries, and clothes change. When summer comes, you still have to take an umbrella. The rain in the mountain city will continue to rain. There are also skin care products with sunscreen (do you want to take it to see yourself).

The rest of the time can be arranged by yourself. Probably enough for Phoenix 600 yuan/person's expenses (including basic food, accommodation, shopping and entertainment, and a little more). There are fewer ATMs and POS machines there, so it is good to bring more cash, but you must pay attention to it (of course, it is not the top consumption level).

As for the return route, if you want to visit Zhangjiajie and Changsha, you can take the train in Changsha direction.

I hope you have a wonderful trip!
