I want to go to Fenghuang Ancient City during the Qingming Festival. I am a student in Wuhan. Do you think I should go by myself or with a tour group?

You can sign up for a group tour when you get there. The price will be lower. If you go by yourself, you need to prepare a lot of things. The most important thing is money.

K109 air-conditioning express Wuchang (starts at 22:46)-Huaihua (until 09:09) takes about 10 hours and 23 minutes, hard seat 113 yuan, hard sleeper 195/201/209 yuan, soft sleeper 302/316 yuan

After arriving in Huaihua, transfer to a bus to Fenghuang Ancient Town, which costs about 40 yuan/person. The journey takes about 2 and a half hours.

When you arrive in Fenghuang Ancient City, don’t believe those women who tell you there is an inn behind you. Non-holidays (Sunday--Thursday): 80--100/night for hotel's riverside rooms, 30--50/night for non-riverside rooms, 100--120/night for riverside rooms on holidays (Friday--Saturday). Note: There is an additional 20 yuan for air conditioning in various rooms. After arriving in the ancient city, you can go from house to house to check out the inns. Only stay if you see the one that suits your liking and the price. Don’t worry, choosing an inn is also a pleasure. Personally, I prefer to live on the north bank of Tuojiang River, where it is more lively.

In the inn, you can find the boss to buy tickets for various attractions, and there are relatively big discounts. For example, it only costs 60 yuan per person to watch the Phoenix performance. Other Miao one-day tours are also about the same price, which is 50% cheaper than buying tickets outside. One thing to note is not to buy combined tickets. I personally think it is not necessary and valuable. Also, don’t Get on the black ship, otherwise you will ruin this enjoyable journey.

Remember to bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, towels and other daily necessities, the inn does not provide them.

Wulong Mountain Scenic Area + Gouliang Miao Village + Ancient Yaotan Waterfalls + Southern Great Wall + Phoenix performance all over the world.

Remember not to use coins. The locals are very disgusted with using coins. Also, they don’t like credit card consumption there, and 99% of them don’t use credit cards, so it’s better to bring more cash or go to the teller machine to withdraw money when you get there. In fact, the security there is better, but you have to be careful with your little hands when shopping.

Remember to bargain hard when shopping or renting an inn.

Have a happy journey!
