Introduction of self-help tour from Zhengzhou to Fenghuang ancient city

There has been a lot of saliva about the introduction of Phoenix on the Internet, and the scenery of the ancient city of Phoenix can basically be visited in one day, so I won't go into details. Just give me a hint.

1. If you want to stay in Phoenix, you should book in advance, otherwise you may not find a room by the river.

2. In Phoenix, anyone can do business, and the local women are very persistent. If you want to take you somewhere, she will always follow you. She will sit and wait for us when we are shopping. When we visit the scenery, she will follow. She will wait while we eat. Tangle is first-class, first-class. Therefore, if someone invites you to take her boat, when asking if you can go to Miao village, don't say "no", but say "yes" and answer "yes", so those people will not pester you too much;

3. Eight scenic spots of Phoenix during holidays, with voucher system 150 yuan/person, including (Huangsiqiao Ancient City, South Great Wall, Chuanyou Tuojiang River, Shen Congwen's former residence, Phoenix Terrace, Laosidong, etc. ) and don't sell tickets. In fact, there is no need to enter Shen Congwen's former residence and Xiong Xiling's former residence. Ticket price 20 yuan, there is nothing in it. Living in an inn can appreciate the essence of Xiangxi folk houses.

There are too many people going to Phoenix on holidays. Friends who like quiet had better visit the city in the morning and evening and go out to play at noon.

5. Phoenix shoots diaojiao building, residential building, Hongqiao, rock jumping, local conditions and customs, and others are all "flirting" drama series. It is recommended to bring a tripod.

6. Wanderer Bar and Aloha. Aloha is a Chinese transliteration of the Hawaiian dialect "I love you", where travelers from all over the world gather.

7. Diet:

Phoenix's four dishes, one soup and one rice: social rice, blood-soaked duck, hot and sour fish, glutinous rice hot and sour slices, steamed bacon, sauerkraut tofu soup;

Restaurant: Founder Restaurant, where you can meet some old painters and folk artists of Phoenix from time to time and listen to them talk about Phoenix; Online recommended the "Ambassador Hotel" on Jianshe Road and the "Old Street Restaurant" with hooves on the old street.

Phoenix people eat a lot because they are delicious. Vegetarian food 3-5 yuan, meat food 5- 10 yuan, glutinous rice balls 1 yuan 1 bowl (more than 20 bowls), canned fried meat with mushrooms (10 yuan), duck soaked in blood (20-40 yuan), fish with pickled vegetables and so on are all famous dishes. Snacks include frozen rice and shrimp (1 yuan), bean jelly (0.5- 1 yuan), fried crayfish (1 yuan), Miao pickles (1 yuan) and so on. , are very distinctive local flavor;

Snacks: there are pickled carrots and ginger candy, and we have arrived at the night market in the evening. The best pickled lobster is the one that stands at the entrance of Wenchang Pavilion Primary School. Ginger sugar is the one at the end of the alley to Shen Congwen's former residence. I have eaten their ginger candy since I was a child, so my teeth always hurt.

8. Handicrafts: batik and Miao silver ornaments. Batik can go to Fenghuang Old Street, where there are many, but all-hand batiks can go to Mr. Xiong's batik workshop, because the natural price of works of art is also very good. As for Miao silver ornaments, you can go to three shops in Laojie. One is a tie-dyeing shop, and most of them are new silver ornaments. Because they are handmade and can be customized, they are very good. Second, the tie-dyeing workshop in Zhang Guiying is mainly the Miao silver ornaments bought by tie-dyeing, which are also handmade. The third is Liuse Square, which mainly deals in old silver ornaments. All three can guarantee the quality of silver ornaments. Nuo mask, the owner's surname is Mrs. Yang, and the surname is Que. They are all painters, painters in Phoenix Nuo Opera, and they are real national crafts.

Tip: 1. You'd better choose your inn and hotel before coming. If you really have no choice, find your own hotel. Be careful not to trust people who solicit customers at the station (beware of being cheated)

2. Don't go to some unknown and informal tourist attractions (mostly village-run and privately developed rural attractions).

Famous scenic spots in western Hunan: Fenghuang Ancient City, Fenghuang _ Huangsiqiao Ancient City, Fenghuang _ South Great Wall, Fenghuang _ Qiliangdong, Fenghuang _ Jiang Shan Miao Museum, Jishou _ Dehang (Miao cultural tour), Yongshun _ Mengdonghe (rafting tour), Guzhang _ Zuolongxia (canyon tour).

3. Fenghuang ancient city (relatively small without a guide) is most suitable for self-help tour, staying in an inn for one or two days. Take a rest and feel the charm of Fenghuang ancient city culture.

Post some bits and pieces of Phoenix:

1. Eight Scenes of Phoenix: Dongling Ying Hui, Nanhua Diecui, Mountain Temple Morning Bell, Longtan Fishing Fire, Qifeng Tingxiu, Blue Whale Woodcut Song, Fange Tao Hui and Xiqiao jathyapple. On the outskirts of Fenghuang Ancient City, there is an ancient battlefield site-Temple Jiangnan Great Wall (ticket 45 yuan). The South Great Wall can be led by local people from other places, but it must escape the eyes of the staff. There is also the towering "throat of Guizhou and Chu"-Huangsiqiao Ancient City (ticket 20 yuan). The ancient city was built in the Tang Dynasty, and the garrison began in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. There are nearly 100 families living now, and the old barracks and diaojiao buildings still exist. The east, west and north gates are closed, and the city is like an iron bucket. You can take the bus in the direction of Allah if you want to go. There are many cars. Go to Nanchang City and Huangsiqiao Ancient City, take CMB at Alaying, and 3-4 yuan to the South Great Wall (about 30 minutes); From Nanchang City, take CMB to Alaying 2 yuan (20 minutes), and then take a tricycle (2 yuan) to Huangsiqiao Ancient City.

2. Miao village. In Miao settlements, Miao women wear black cloth, Miao costumes embroidered with big skirts and bamboo baskets on their backs. Miao compatriots communicate in Miao language every day, taking songs as the medium and falling in love freely. Women like to wear silver ornaments and collarless embroidered clothes, while men like to wear leggings, double-breasted clothes and blow leaves. They grow their own mulberry and sericulture, and the hand-woven fabrics are great. You can catch seedlings in Jiang Shan, Mount Lal and Alaying. These two days are March 3rd and 8th of the lunar calendar in Jiang Shan, and February 2nd and 7th of the lunar calendar in Labashan and Alaying. Among them, Allah has a large market; Jiang Shan Town is a gathering place of Miao people, where you can see Miao women dressed in costumes. Phoenix-Jiang Shan-La 'ershan (Ticket price: 2-3 yuan per ticket, about 45 minutes per ticket). Labor Miao Village (1 day tour). Newly developed scenic spots and highways have just been opened. Can feel the simple Miao customs, tickets 88/ person. Waterway-Canyon-Miao Village. The representative "Majiayuan" complex is a magnificent Miao village hall. The biggest feature of the old Dongge ancient building is the "Horse Head Wall", which is called "Five Mountains in the Sky" by the people (another major feature is "Four Rivers Returning to the Hall"). Mysterious Grand Canyon Duluo Village. Buy tickets at the reception center, and return to 50 yuan, including tickets, and pick them up at 9:00, 14:00. Compare values.

3. Diaojiaolou. Huilongge Diaojiao Building Group is located in Huilongge in the southeast of Fenghuang Ancient City, facing the ancient official road in front and hanging the Tuojiang River in the back. It is one of the ancient buildings with strong Miao architectural characteristics in Fenghuang ancient city. Diaojiaolou was built in the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, and now there are more than a dozen families living there. The diaojiao buildings in the diaojiao building group are divided into upper and lower floors, both of which belong to bucket-type wood structure with five columns and six hooks or five columns and eight hooks, and have the distinctive characteristics of being built everywhere. The upper floor is wide and the lower floor covers an irregular area; The upper part has complex manufacturing technology and exquisite workmanship. The roof rises from the mountain and has carved railings, doors and windows. The lower floor is not a formal room, and the part below the crane's feet is carved, with melon or various animal heads and flower patterns. The upper and lower corridors or rooms are hung by trusses, so that they are hung on the river, forming a unique landscape. Tiaoyan Tuojiang Tiaoyan is located in Tuojiang River outside the north gate of Fenghuang Ancient City. Total length of strip rock 100 m. * * * There are 15 rock piers, which are arranged in the river bed of Tuojiang River in turn. The rock piers are all built with red sand blocks with a spacing of 5 meters. They are paved with wooden boards, which are tied with chains and fixed on iron piles on both sides of the river so as to be washed away by the flood. Nanhuashan Mountain. Nanhua Mountain is not far from Fenghuang Ancient City. You don't need money to go up the mountain. On the way up the mountain, you will see Wenchang Pavilion Primary School. The whole scenic spot is covered with mountains and green trees. The mist in the morning is blue, and the sunset in the evening is purple. The makeup is light and heavy, suitable for sunny and rainy days. The scenic spot includes three scenic spots, namely "South China is full of green flowers", "Blue Whale Woodcut Song" and "Mountain Temple Morning Bell".

4. Shen Congwen. 190212 On February 28th, Mr. Shen Congwen, a famous writer, historian and archaeologist in China, was born in a typical ancient quadrangle in Zhongying Street, Fenghuang Ancient City. Siheyuan was an old house bought by Shen Hongfu, the grandfather of Shen Congwen, the governor of Guizhou in Qing Dynasty, and was built after being demolished in the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866). It's a bungalow building sealed with firebricks. The house is a bucket wood structure, closed with a bucket and a pair of walls. Aotou, decorated with horsehead wall and carved doors and windows, is small, chic and antique. The whole building has strong architectural characteristics of Xiangxi in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Mr. Shen Congwen spent his legendary childhood here. Shen Congwen's cemetery can be reached by water, boating on the Tuojiang River, or directly in the direction of Zhuanlongge. I don't want a ticket, but the online guide mentioned that the toll booth is already under construction, alas. There is an inscription written by Mr. Huang Yongyu in the cemetery: "A soldier will either die in the battlefield or return to his hometown"; According to tourists, the stone in front is the tomb of the old man, and the front of the stone is engraved with "think what I think and understand me;" According to my thinking, I can know people. The back is engraved with the words "I don't compromise, I am also kind and accommodating, I am a child", which coincides with "I want people to follow the article". There is a mountain spring on the right side of the tombstone. The water is extremely cold and some people drink it.

Duocui Building is the new residence of the great painter Huang Yongyu, and everyone who has been to Phoenix knows it. Duocui Building by the Tuojiang River is an arched structure, exquisite and unique. There is a wooden sign in front of the door: "Private house, no entry". If you ask where Huang Yongyu's former residence is, not everyone in Phoenix knows it. There is an inscription at the entrance of the former residence, "There are vicious dogs at home, so tourists should be careful". Chaoyang Palace, Yangjia Ancestral Temple, located in Ximen Lane, was built in 4 years. There is a high wall in front. There are 12 pairs of floating plastics on the pink wall. There is a big stage in the courtyard of Sihe Palace. The whole courtyard is like a palace, with red lacquered gold patterns and flying reliefs. The stage in Chaoyang Palace is the best preserved stage today, with dignified and elegant modeling and exquisite craftsmanship. It is an artistic building with strong local architectural color.

6. Drifting under Ximenxia (in Jixin), fare 1 18 yuan. If you drift to the west gate, you can take the shuttle bus from Fenghuang to Jishou or Jixin or Allah, and the ticket number is 3 to 5 yuan. Drifting is still very good and exciting. Several inflatable boats can play with each other and swim in the water. If you don't have time to wander around the Mengdong River (the fare is about 130), Ximenxia is also a good choice. Qiliangdong is a typical carbonate cave. Tickets are 50 yuan and you can play for about two or three hours. CMB 2 yuan/person, take a taxi to 20 yuan. Cave is famous for its four characteristics: strangeness, beauty, vastness and seclusion.

7. Other Tuojiang cruise ships. Tuojiang cruise during the day 15 yuan, 5 yuan at night. It is recommended to take it once during the day and once at night. This price is not the price of a travel company, but the price of a private boat, oh! The price of the tour company has doubled. The difference is: there is no life jacket, and some river sections are closed before 7 pm. You can also take a local private boat to visit Tuojiang River, but you have to get up early, usually before 7: 30, from Hongqiao to Shen Congwen Cemetery 10 yuan/person. Folk custom. Batik, tie-dyeing, horn products, old cloth, Miao Xiu, silver ornaments and other handicrafts can be bought in the ancient city. The "six-color square" on the old street is very distinctive. You can also visit the printing and dyeing craftsman (Liu Dapao), batik craftsman (Xiong Chengzao), tie-dyeing craftsman (Zhang Guiying, Wu Huahua) and brocade craftsman (Ye). Next to Tiaoyan, I found a small shop that can rent Miao costumes. The boss is a Miao grandmother. Without any deposit, I can wear beautiful Miao clothes there all day, as long as 5 yuan. It's as simple as that, beyond description.

Precautions:

1. If you want to visit around Phoenix, it is recommended to consult the hotel owner, who will help you contact, and the price is favorable. Don't believe that the girl soliciting on the road and the soliciting staff near the bus stop are talking about the ultra-low price in case of being cheated.
