Student self-help tour from Changsha, Hunan Province to Fenghuang Ancient City. Please guide those who have been there, thank you!

1, no need for a guide.

Although the tour guides in Zhangjiajie usually take over the tourism business of Phoenix, I personally suggest that you don't need a tour guide to travel to Phoenix. Phoenix is not in the deep mountains like Zhangjiajie, and the scenic spot is very large, so it is inconvenient to stay. Phoenix is so small and concentrated that it is very comfortable to play alone.

Step 2 transport

Fenghuang county is very small, so you don't need to take a bus. The taxi starts in 3 yuan, and the environmentally-friendly battery car 1 yuan/person.

The nearest railway station to Phoenix is Jishou Station in the north and Huaihua Station in the south.

The nearest airport to Fenghuang Ancient City is Daxing Airport in Tongren, Guizhou, 30 kilometers away from Fenghuang. There is a shuttle bus at the bus station, the travel time is 1.5 hours, and the fare is 20. You can also charter your own car.

Step 3 be alive

Phoenix Hotel recommends staying in Linjiang Inn on both sides of the Tuojiang River, and among the many hotels in Linjiang, it is best to stay next to Hongqiao and Jinshui Bridge, because these two places allow tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Tuojiang River in their rooms, whether at night or during the day. Among Hongqiao and Jinshui Bridge, Jinshui Bridge is said to be cheaper, because there are many diaojiao buildings next to Hongqiao, which is of course expensive. So the most cost-effective accommodation is next to Jinshui Bridge. Of course, it would be great to live in a diaojiao building.

Satisfied accommodation needs to be booked in advance, because Phoenix travel is very popular and rooms are very tight in peak season. After confirming the itinerary, it is best to book directly by phone or through the website. Of course, if it is the off-season of tourism (from late autumn to the next spring), you can also go back to find accommodation, usually with a room. Moreover, the accommodation price of Phoenix is generally 70-80, ranging from 70 to 80. Rooms are usually wooden houses by the river. At least you can see the scenery of Tuojiang River from the windows, and some of them have balconies. Generally, there are computers with Internet access and wireless network coverage in the room.

Phoenix's accommodation does not provide disposable supplies, so you should bring toiletries.

And don't live near bars and commercial streets, it will be noisy in the morning or at night. At 6 o'clock in the morning, a tour group arrived in Phoenix, and I was lying in bed when I heard the tour guide explaining.

Finally, recommend a place. In an alley north of Tuojiang River, there is an inn called 13 14. Seeing his guest room, we feel very warm, suitable for couples to visit Phoenix, and of course on the river.

Step 4 travel

On the issue of ancient city vouchers

Personally, I don't think it is necessary to buy 168 yuan coupon tickets (including bonfire party) in Fenghuang Ancient City. Many scenic spots are not worth seeing.

Some scenic spots, such as Miao Village, Qiliangdong and Nanchang City, can be selected according to personal hobbies. But pay attention to a few money-saving skills:

(1) You don't need to buy a ticket to Miao Village at all, just take a taxi.

(2) You can find a local to help you buy tickets for the bonfire party, and then give him some hard work, which is 30 to 40 yuan.

(2) boating on the Tuojiang River

It is necessary to go boating on the Tuojiang River. Sitting in the middle of the boat, listening to the boatman telling an old story about the phoenix, or listening to the clear and tactful songs of ferrymen and Miao women, and occasionally taking a sip of Miao wine, is it a very pleasant thing that is hard to describe?

(3) About attracting customers

In Phoenix, there are many soliciting people pestering you. "Do you want to wear Miao costumes to take pictures? Do you want to take a boat? " The best way is to tell them "I have taken photos, but I have been there". Otherwise, I will follow you all the way, chat with you, recommend where to buy things cheaply, and stop and go. They will wait for you patiently and enthusiastically, but there is a purpose. When you are finally embarrassed, they will take the boat introduced by him, taste the wine of Miao family and stimulate consumption, but generally there will be no such thing. But wearing a tail all the way is always uncomfortable.

However, putting on Miao costumes and taking some photos with friends is invincible and cost-effective. There are many merchants along the river to provide photos of Miao costumes. You can negotiate the price with them. That is, the clothing cost of 3 yuan per person, including Miao girls, Miao boys and bandits. As for the clothes of Emperor Gege, stop it, China is everywhere. Put on your clothes, and then you can take photos at will, or you can take photos with other handsome guys and beautiful women who come to travel. Of course, at this time, the merchant will take a lot of photos for you and teach you to pose. Finally, you can pick some photos from the merchant's camera and develop them as a souvenir. They range from 5 yuan to 10 yuan to 20 yuan. Generally speaking, they are relatively cheap. Of course, you don't need anything, just what's in your camera (traveling alone is a bit depressing). (4) Other activities

Many characteristic shops in the ancient city, whether classical or fashionable, are absolutely suitable for leisurely strolling, so I don't want to leave after staying in Phoenix for a few days, and I always feel that I haven't visited enough.

Phoenix's bar is very famous. It is a pleasure to go to a bar for a drink, listen to some songs or even sing a few times in the evening. There is generally no minimum consumption, but it is very likely that everyone must have consumption.

The scenery in the ancient city in the morning is particularly beautiful, sparsely populated and the sun is not prosperous. The mist on the Tuojiang River is still like a fairyland. The ancient city is brightly lit at night.

Generally speaking, the folk customs of Phoenix are quite simple, and the merchants are also very trustworthy and honest, so don't worry too much about being cheated.

Step 5 eat

So regarding the price, in fact, it is similar in the ancient city. If four people eat it, it will be seventy or eighty.

Here, I would like to recommend a restaurant called "Yi Jiangnan" which is dozens of meters east of the East Gate Tower. After our actual investigation, we think that the food in this restaurant tastes the best in a few days in Phoenix. Whether it's Tuojiang's blood-soaked duck or fried shrimp, the most impressive thing is its home-cooked tofu, which is the best I have ever eaten. We ordered two. At the checkout, we calculated 76 and gave it to Zhang Hong. The proprietress took 25 directly and said she was looking for you 25.

There is also a small shop on the west side of the North Gate Tower. An old man is selling fragrant tofu, which tastes better than other stalls.

Phoenix's barbecue is also very spicy. The most authentic one should be the new road. It is said that this snack market is large in scale, delicious and cheap, but it's a pity that we didn't have time to try it.

There is a small walnut ball near Tuojiang Wharf. We also ate it in Zhangjiajie. It's delicious.

Phoenix's food also includes fungus and pickled fish (very delicious). As for some wild vegetables, I personally feel that the taste is very general.

Ginger sugar is delicious, as crisp as dragon beard meat.

Step 6 buy

(1) Miao Yin

There are many Miao silverware in the ancient city. Generally, the silverware in regular shops is real, and the price is relatively expensive. Sister Miao and Aunt Miao in the street sell them for decoration, and the price is cheap. You can bargain with them greatly.

(2) Ginger sugar

The ancient city is full of stores selling ginger candy, but it is not easy to choose the right one. According to the experience provided by professionals, first look at the pores of ginger sugar and choose different pore sizes; Then look at the color, brown sugar tastes better than white sugar, so buy dark yellow ginger sugar. The quality of a century-old shop is guaranteed, but the price must be better.

(3) Miao wine

The wine in Miao village is really good. You can bring some, especially kiwi fruit wine, which tastes good and is suitable for all ages.

As for good wine, you can buy bandit wine and sorghum wine. The entrance is soft, but it has enough stamina. The price is not expensive either.

There is also a bar wine, which is a specialty, but I have never tasted it. It seems that the price is 5 yuan a catty.

We also brought back some daughter red, which is delicious. It should be brewed from some plums, so it is reddish. The taste is a little weak, too.

(4) Xiangxi bacon

7. Others

Public toilets in Phoenix are all charged, 1 yuan/person.

The map of Phoenix is a hand-drawn version, which is very well drawn. It's sold everywhere, and it's 5 yuan a copy, which can be collected.

Phoenix to Changsha

automobile

In Fenghuang Ancient City, there are many agents selling tickets, and the fare is 120- 130/ person. Recommend the boss who is looking for your accommodation, let him buy it for you, and you can get a discount. It takes five and a half hours by bus to Changsha West Bus Station and six hours to Changsha Railway Station. The first hour is Panshan Highway, and you can't get on the expressway until you reach Jishou City.

But cars still waste time.

train

If you take the train, you should go to Jishou first. It is recommended to take a bus to Jishou South Bus Station and take the national highway, with good road conditions. 17 yuan/person, 70 minutes to Jishou. Then take the train. You can choose to stay up late, buy a sleeper, and arrive in Changsha after six in the morning. The hard sleeper fare is 145 yuan.
