I have an idea to travel to Fenghuang Ancient City on May Day. Read the description and answer the questions. People from Hunan come in. Thank you! !

Although I am not from Hunan, I have been to Fenghuang Ancient City several times and lived there for a month at the longest.

It is not recommended that you go there on May Day. Because there are too many people in Wuhan, you can't appreciate the tranquility of the ancient city. Moreover, house prices have skyrocketed. Rooms that originally cost between 70 and 80 cost will jump up to 200 on May Day. Of course, this refers to the place where you live in the ancient city. Outside the ancient city, such as Nanhua Gate, it is cheaper. But you have to pay some for 100. It is recommended that you stay in a youth hostel instead of an inn during normal times, because the price is similar to that of a youth hostel, but it has more flavor than a youth hostel. During the May Day holiday, hotel prices will not be cheap.

Fenghuang is in the mountains, and only cars can go there. So you have to first go to two places closer to Phoenix to transfer to Phoenix. One is Jishou and the other is Huaihua. There is no direct train from Wuhan to Jishou, so you need to transfer. However, it is relatively close to Fenghuang from Jishou, about an hour's drive. It also rarely walks on mountain roads, so it is suitable for students who get motion sickness. The other is Huaihua. There is a direct train from Wuchang to Huaihua. It takes more than 2 and 3 hours to drive from Huaihua to Fenghuang, taking the winding mountain highway. Because I always go to Huaihua, I am not very familiar with Jishou.

I recommend k809 from Wuchang to Huaihua. It departs at around 6pm and arrives at around 6pm the next day, which takes more than 11 hours in one trip. k809 hard sleeper (201.00 yuan), hard seat (113.00 yuan). (This way you can arrive in Phoenix early and then go shopping to find a hotel.) After leaving the train station, hail a taxi and it costs 10 yuan to get to the station. In fact, it's nearby. Just search it on Google Maps and you can walk there. It only takes about 10 minutes. The bus from Huaihua to Fenghuang costs 38 per person. After you get off the bus, a local will come over and ask you if you want to stay. You can talk to him then.

I thought my friend was going to go there at the end of April, so I asked an old man I met in Phoenix for him. I have attached the dialogue (not high enough to be included in the picture)

21:00:06

There are a lot of people at the end of April

Dead 21:00:27

Haha, how much does it cost?

21:02:09

A room for one person is about 100-120, a double room is about 160, and a room with a view is included. The price will be a little higher

21:03:58

For reference, last year’s price was 260 for a standard room. This is other people’s price. It depends on the specific time of your visit in April. The price on 27.28.29.30 will be higher than usual

21:04:58

Of course, if your friend confirms it in advance, we will make it cheaper than the market price

Disappeared 21:05:23

The boss thinks the price is too high. The last time I went there, it was only 70 or 80 in Huilong Pavilion.

21:05 ：38

Come back and ask about the price from the end of April

Past 21:05:40

Is your place just renovated?

21:06:18

Yes, all my things are in good use

Departed 21:06:43

There are pictures Let’s see

21:07:01

The price on the market during Qingming Festival is more than 300 per room, but ours ranges from 100-180 per room

21: 07:41

I heard that other people’s houses with flooring cost 80 a night. Do you think it’s scary?

Departed 21:08:33

Hehehe, I’m here Wuyuan Youth Hostels have floor-to-ceiling floors

Looking at it this way, if you want to stay in the ancient city, it will either be a youth hostel or some remote place. It can be cheaper, otherwise don’t live by the Tuojiang River, live by the Junzi Hotel, or by the Nanhua Gate. It's not far from the ancient city, and you can still overlook the ancient city.

If you want to eat, it is strongly recommended not to eat in the ancient city, because many of them do not have chef certificates. This will cause the cooking to be very unstable, sometimes good and sometimes bad. The next few times I went there, the guy above took me to Xinma Road to eat. That’s where locals in Phoenix invite foreign guests to eat. Cheap and delicious. If you must eat in the ancient city, I recommend Junzi Restaurant and a restaurant in Huilong Pavilion that makes stone pot fish, and they can be found at Manyouyou Express. Then I wanted to have barbecue in the evening, so I also went to Xinma Road. Getting to Xinma Road is very simple. If you see a tricycle in the ancient city, hail one and it only costs about 1 yuan per person. There is also a very delicious noodle restaurant in Huilong Pavilion, close to the original Qingdao Inn.

For food, the budget is about 30 to 50 yuan per person per day.

If you go on May Day, don’t go to any Miao village. There are too many people, and now all the Miao villages are bought out by the government. It is difficult to spend as little money as before to go to Miao villages. Village.

If you really want to go to the Miao Village, I remember there is a pass there, Bonfire Party Miao Village (150)

The last thing is the specialty products, I think there is nothing to buy, maybe I've been there too many times, and some of the things are commonplace. If you want to buy beautiful Miao jewelry, I recommend going to Miao Yun. The owner is nice and down-to-earth. If you meet someone you think you're destined for, you'll get a pretty big discount.

When I come back, I still come back like that. k809

the end I hope this helps.
