I want to go to Changsha, Hunan on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and then go to Phoenix to play.

This is a travel note from Changsha to Fenghuang, which is very similar to your situation. Please refer to:

Travel Notes of Phoenix in Changsha

(1) Itinerary items

It takes about 14 hours by train from Shanghai South Railway Station to Changsha Station. I spent a day in Changsha, climbed Yuelu Mountain in the morning and watched the graduation party of the School of Resources and Biology of Central South University in the afternoon. It takes about 8 hours by train from Changsha to Jishou in the evening. The next morning, I took a two-hour bus ride from Jishou to Shantou Station outside Fenghuang City, and then I took a bus ride for about 20 minutes to the city. I spent a day in Fenghuang, mainly visiting the ancient city along the Tuojiang River in Fenghuang. In the evening, I went back to Changsha the same way. On the third morning, I went to the window of the world in Changsha, which is suitable for children to play. In the afternoon, I visited Pedestrian Street, Taiping Street and Pozi Street. I ate hot pot and sweet potato powder in the pedestrian street and stinky tofu in Pozi Street. It is difficult to buy a train ticket at Changsha Railway Station (it is said that Changsha is only a small station, and the big station is in Zhuzhou). Otherwise, you can stay in Phoenix for one more day. Perhaps it is this regret that highlights the beauty of this trip!

(2) Landscape articles

Yuelu Mountain It was raining in Mao Mao when I came out of Changsha Railway Station, but the sky began to clear up soon. The first stop is to climb Yuelu Mountain. In the morning, the air in Yuelu Mountain is very good. There are many maple trees on the mountain, including many hundred-year-old trees. When I was climbing the mountain, I saw some local people playing spring water on the mountain with buckets. It is said that it is delicious and good for health. Huangxing Tomb, Cai E Tomb, Aiwan Pavilion and Yuelu Academy are all located on Yuelu Mountain: the cemetery and corresponding exhibition halls have become patriotic education bases; Aiwan Pavilion is famous for Chairman Mao's inscription and the starting point of the torch relay in Changsha, so many people took photos here. Although Yuelu Academy has a history, it has lost its original appearance after several repairs. Down the mountain is Dongfanghong Square. The statue of Chairman Mao stands high in the center of the square, surrounded by many buildings of Hunan University. Many graduates are filming graduation photo.

I almost went to Phoenix with the feeling of "pilgrimage". The history of Phoenix can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because Shen Congwen, a mysterious and slightly sentimental town in western Hunan, attracted countless "busybodies" who were unwilling to be lonely.

The first thing I saw when I got off the bus was the South China Gate. When you enter the South Gate, you enter the core area of Phoenix. Go straight ahead is a bridge, from which you can see the panoramic view of the ancient city. The whole ancient city is almost surrounded by mountains, green hills and trees. The trickle of the Tuojiang River divides the ancient city into two parts, one is the city wall and the other is the diaojiao building. Every time I go up, there are many houses, mostly with blue tiles and white walls, mostly with 2-4 floors, and the intervals between houses are small. Further out, there are more houses, more houses of all kinds. The first time I saw such a small town, I felt calm and everything seemed familiar.

The weather is clear and the clouds are rolling evenly. Walking along the ancient city wall and looking down from time to time, many people who take pictures have become the scenery in my eyes. There are not many tourists, but there are many, some rowing boats, some taking pictures, and of course, local adults carrying a bucket of clothes to the river to wash clothes, and children frolicking by the river. Among them, the bridge composed of two rows of stone piers with different heights connecting the two banks and the Xiaozhu Bridge not far from her are very attractive. There are small shops next to the city wall, including embroidery, local products, hotels and so on. As usual, tourists will go into interested shops and have a look. Others just sell trinkets, garlands and fruits by the wall. Walking along the city wall to the river, adults and children are very happy. Local people recommend cruise ships, Miao costumes and garlands to tourists from time to time, so those who wear garlands, Miao costumes and cruise ships add to the life of the town. Wandering in such a small town, it seems that I can't feel the passage of time, and everything seems to be day after day.

Shen Congwen's "magic", "witch", "cave" and "ranger" have long since ceased to exist. Perhaps their romantic and religious feelings have been immersed in the bones of Phoenix people, but we can't understand them from the surface. The real benefits will not be appreciated and the disadvantages will not be understood. Of course, we naturally can't understand what Cui Cui was thinking when he was sitting on a stone beside the White Pagoda, holding a little face and watching the river flow. Is it a distant dream and the song in the dream?

(3) Characters

There are three people from Xiangxi and Huaihua. The characters of these three people are as simple as the natural scenery in Xiangxi. Although I have studied in Changsha for four years, I feel a little petty bourgeoisie, but the simplicity and kindness in my bones are still well preserved, which can be seen from their manners and treatment. Speaking of their hometown, they are not excited. The mountain is poor, and the children in the mountain yearn for life outside the mountain. There is also a person from Guizhou who is also very simple. On the bus to Phoenix, he said that the landscape here is very similar to his hometown, and he also told an interesting legend in their hometown: If a Miao girl secretly loves a man, but the man refuses to marry him, then the woman's family will try their best to make the man suffer from strange diseases through methods such as' magic' and' witchcraft', and unless he agrees to marry this girl, he will never get well. Of course, this is only a legend, but it adds more mystery to this land and waters.

On the train from Changsha to Jishou, there is a Xiangxi girl sitting opposite. She enthusiastically introduced her hometown and the small town in western Hunan. I don't remember these place names. I think these places are as beautiful as Zhangjiajie and Phoenix! Her skin is slightly dark, her eyebrows are thin, and she is of medium build, giving people a healthy and simple feeling. She is about to graduate from Jishou University and has been practicing in Changsha for half a year.

We live in a local family in Phoenix, but the hostess is also very warm and simple, and it is also very cheap to charge us for accommodation. She told us that all the guests received by her family, her two sons are now working in the city. He also made us a table of local delicacies, and especially said that meat pie soup was the favorite of his two sons, and said how her dishes were loved by the guests. This table of food is really delicious!

On the train back to Shanghai from Changsha, I met a girl who grew up in Phoenix, which was a surprise in itself! The girl is a Miao, of course, this is absolutely not seen from her dress. Girls' primary and junior high schools are all in Phoenix, universities are in Hengyang, and they are going to Wuhan to study for a master's degree. While marveling at her efforts, I feel that so many people are following such a similar life trajectory. Girls are lively and frank, with wide interests and rich knowledge. Because I grew up here, I didn't think the phoenix was beautiful and mysterious. Influenced by the modern atmosphere, our understanding of our nation's history and tradition is not as rich as we thought. The other girl sitting next to her is from Changsha. Her home is close to Miluo, Qu Zi's hometown, and it only takes half an hour to get there. Miluo was also the venue of the Miluo River Dragon Boat Festival in Yueyang, China last year. According to her, it was very lively. I also went out to work after the Dragon Boat Festival at home this year. She told me about the Dragon Boat Festival custom in her hometown. There are dragon boat races every year, and then zongzi are thrown into the Miluo River to pay homage to Qu Zi. There is also a beautiful and sad legend: Qu Zi was tied up and thrown into the river. When Qu Zi was caught, his head was eaten by fish, so later generations threw Zongzi into the river, hoping that the fish would eat Zongzi instead of hurting Qu Zi. Although I have heard of similar legends, it is more real and moving from her mouth. There are also two people from Changsha, Hunan who work in Shanghai to make a living. Bless them first!

(4) Conclusion

Although I only stayed in Hunan for three short days, the scenery and people here have long been integrated into my soft feelings and become a permanent memory. In real life, so many little happiness and hardships exist so well that people can't bear to part. As a passer-by, I caught a glimpse of their lives without taking away a cloud.

When I watched Phoenix quietly leave on the bus at Shantou Station, I was reluctant to give up for this mountain, this water and this person.

Get out of Phoenix and return to real life.
