I'm going to take a train from Guangzhou to Xiangxi for a self-help tour to find a route.

There is no direct train to Fenghuang ancient city in Guangzhou, so you can only take a bus to Jishou, and then transfer from Jishou to Fenghuang ancient city. After arriving in Xiangxi, there are two ways to go to fenghuang town, one is to take a bus and the other is to take a taxi. Bus 17 yuan is generally not negotiable. Generally don't take a taxi in the railway station square, remember to choose the color of the taxi. Red and yellow are local taxis in Xiangxi. It will be very expensive to go to Phoenix by car of this color. Because the green taxi is a local taxi in Phoenix, it is bound to return to Xiangxi. It's better to go home empty-handed than to have a guest. So the price will be cheaper. The price is about 150 yuan/vehicle.

If you live, many people recommend living in the diaojiao building by the river, but the diaojiao building is expensive, noisy (there are bars by the river) and small! And there are not many rooms; You can have a look at the "Guide to Accommodation Diaojiao Building in Fenghuang Ancient City" written on this website. Usually, the price of non-riverside diaojiao building is 60-80 yuan per room per night, and the price of riverside diaojiao building is 120- 160 yuan per room per night; Sometimes you need a house to live at 280 during the Golden Week. However, if the off-season is not a weekend, the place to stay is still easy to find. It is strongly recommended not to go to the Golden Week. There is also the fact that most of the inns and hotels in Fenghuang Ancient City do not provide disposable articles, so they need to bring their own.

Let's talk about the itinerary in Phoenix first: it usually takes about three days to visit the ancient city of Phoenix: on the first day, you can freely visit the ancient city (self-guided tourists are not recommended to enter the nine scenic spots of the ancient city) and watch a bonfire party at night; Take a one-day tour of Miao village the next day; On the third day, visit the ancient city by yourself, and then return (or go to the South Great Wall, seven or two caves, and then return).

Many people come to Fenghuang ancient city and don't know what to play. My summary is as follows:

Play during the day: Be sure to visit the ancient city (how to visit is up to you, you don't need tickets to enter the ancient city, but you need tickets to enter the scenic spots of the ancient city. ); Then Miao Village must play (it is recommended to play Wang Miao City, Jiang Shan Miao Village and Dream jiangmiao); Then the bonfire party must be watched (the bonfire party will show the unique skills and customs of the Miao people, such as going up the knife mountain, going to the sea of fire, chasing corpses in Xiangxi, crying and marrying, and so on). I recommend Charming Phoenix bonfire party. Play in the evening: watch the party (watch the bonfire party), eat barbecue, soak in bars and watch the night scene.

Phoenix special snacks: social meals, duck soaked in blood, hot and sour fish, Tujia bacon, Miao sour soup, glutinous rice hot and sour pieces, steamed bacon, canned mushrooms, Miao social meals, sauerkraut tofu soup, etc.

You can also go to the bar at night. Personal recommendation: Fence Girl River Bar (Rock Bar) and Moses, please raise the pipe (clear)! Very atmospheric, and the singer is also very good! Go to the ancient city of Fenghuang, and be sure to see the night view at night! Otherwise, it's not worth it. The night view of Phoenix is also famous! Ten o'clock, look near the north gate! Very good!
