Phoenix travel advice

It is suggested to take the train, and you may meet some like-minded friends on the train. More importantly, hehe, it is more affordable for students.

If you choose the direction of Jishou or Huaihua by train (sorry, because you don't know your departure place, please check online or go to the ticket window for the specific train number and time), take a good seat at Jishou Railway Station, and then get off and leave the station.

Special recommendation: Generally, Miao girls can be seen in Jishou Railway Station. They are dressed in bright colors and greet guests with Miao drums. They are from Dehang Scenic Area. The performance at the railway station is free. You can enjoy it for a while.

After arriving at Jishou Railway Station, you can see the CMB that goes directly to Deutsche Bahn or Phoenix (there is a sign, so it is not worthwhile to charter a car by one person). The fare to Phoenix is about 15 yuan, which takes about an hour and a half, and all the way is paved with asphalt, so I don't feel bumpy.

2. Local accommodation

There are many diaojiao buildings near Tuojiang River. In order to see the night view of Tuojiang River at night, you can stay there. After bargaining, the price is about 50-60 yuan one night (off-season). If you can't see the cheapness of Tuojiang River, you can ask the place. Generally, there are no single rooms, rooms with 2-3 beds, 20-30 yuan/bed, air conditioning (the boss will charge extra for air conditioning, please discuss in advance) and separate bathrooms. It is recommended to compare several companies before making a decision. House prices will rise on holidays or weekends, so be prepared. Besides, if you want to try something new, you can also go to the Youth Hostel in Phoenix (in Wanminglou), which should be a good place to make friends.

Generally, it is very cheap to eat in small shops. You can have a bowl of rice noodles in 3 yuan for breakfast, and special dishes such as stewed duck with blood and pickled fish hot pot are more expensive, which is 28-35 yuan. See what kind of restaurant you eat in.

Special snacks include sour radish, social food, tung leaf Baba, snail and bean jelly. The barbecue on Hongqiao is also very good. There are many kinds. Mutton kebabs or beef kebabs are five yuan each (pocket-sized) and taste very good.

Visit scenic spots

You can buy a tourist map of Phoenix published by Hunan Fine Arts Publishing House in Phoenix, 4-5 yuan, and ask the boss to stamp several commemorative medals for you (be sure to specify different ones, or he will stamp the same ones for you). Then you can take it everywhere. Don't lose that map, it is also a good souvenir to take back. You can look at the information provided above. Introduce food and shelter.

You can buy a package ticket to visit the ancient city or take a one-day tour of the local travel agency. (Note: Visiting the ancient city of Fenghuang is free, and only tickets are needed to visit the eight and ten scenic spots of Fenghuang. There are two packages, Phoenix Eight Scenes Package: including Shen Congwen's former residence, Xiong Xiling's former residence, Yangjia Ancestral Hall, Dongmen Tower, boating on the Tuojiang River, the second floor of Hongqiao, Chongde Hall and Wanshou Palace. Ticket price 138 yuan/person. Ten Scenes of Phoenix: Based on the Eight Scenes of Phoenix, the Great Wall of South China, Qiliangdong in Tang Dynasty and Huangsiqiao Ancient City have been added. The fare is 2 16 yuan/person. Remember, the eight scenic spots and ten scenic spots of Phoenix can enjoy a half-price discount with the student ID card. You can save some money. In addition, don't go to the ancient city of Huangsiqiao in the Ten Scenes. Although it has certain value, it is not well managed now, and it will be very disappointing to go. ) Some paid attractions are not necessarily worth seeing. It is recommended not to buy a package and transfer it yourself. The ancient city is so big that you can walk around casually, and there is no guide who always urges you to hurry up.

There are not many recommended places, because everyone's preferences are different, depending on which type of scenic spots you prefer.

There will be many people dragging you to take pictures in Miao costumes in Tiaoyan. Just rent clothes and take photos of 2-3 yuan yourself. If they take pictures, 5 yuan/Zhang. In fact, it is also cost-effective. He is an old photographer who has taken photos for many years. They are much more experienced in taking pictures of light than you are, and the photos they take are naturally beautiful. You can also ask them to help you process it into a card size that can be put into your wallet, and it is resistant to collection, but it will cost more money.

The second floor of Hongqiao is a teahouse, which is a good place to enjoy the scenery.

There are two sections for boating in Tuojiang River. The travel company's boat journey is from Tiaoyan to Shen Congwen Cemetery, and you can buy tickets at the North Gate Tower (Tiaoyan). Although the trip is short, it is the most intense part of Xiangxi. Take a private boat from Shen Congwen Cemetery to Taohua Island (a newly-opened tourist spot, you need tickets to 20 yuan, where there are many peach trees, and you can watch and participate in Miao folk performances), 7-8 yuan/person. The river is shallow, so you can experience the feeling of rowing with paddles. You can also ask the boatman to sing a folk song or sing with tourists from other boats. In summer, people between ships will also have a water war, so we should be fully prepared for protection.

There is also drifting outside the city, which can be seen on the way to Phoenix, probably 1 10 yuan/person.

In the surrounding Miao villages, there are many private developments with uneven quality and mixed opinions. It's good to go there and experience the customs of Miao village. The recommended places are Laozhai, Shenlong Canyon, Duluo Village and Jiang Shan Miao Village. There are many ticket agents in this city, so you can negotiate with them in Kan Kan.

You can go to Hongqiao Qiaotou for supper at night. There are many varieties and everything. You can also buy a few dollars' wishing lamp by the Tuojiang River and put it in the river to make your good wishes (every morning I see the cleaners salvaging the "wreckage" of the wishing lamp, I find this wonderful activity quite frustrating and destructive to the environment). If you want to try the bar style, there are many bars along the Tuojiang River. Just find someone who feels good. There will be a party in the city in the evening, around 60 yuan.

go shopping

I don't recommend a specific store, lest I say that I am advertising at the expense of others. Locals are easier to talk to.

Generally speaking, there are batik and embroidery, costumes, silver ornaments (both worn and decorated), bone carvings, root carvings, pyrography, sand paintings, and many books and postcards describing Xiangxi.

I ate ginger sugar, twist sugar, dried kiwi fruit, sugar ginger and stewed duck with blood (vacuum packed).

Drink by the catty, and then buy other utensils (such as gourd or bamboo tube).

5. What you need to bring

Needless to say, personal belongings, cash (there are few places where you can swipe your card), camera, toiletries, and clothes change. When summer comes, you still have to take an umbrella. The rain in the mountain city will continue to rain. There are also skin care products with sunscreen (do you want to take it to see yourself).

The rest can be arranged by yourself, and the expenses in Phoenix (including the basic six items of food, accommodation, shopping and entertainment) are probably enough (certainly not the top consumption level).

Personal opinion, not authoritative, for reference only, just want to make more friends.

In addition, please respect my work, please indicate the source after reading it, thank you!

The ancient city of Fenghuang was once called one of the two most beautiful towns in China by the famous New Zealand writer Qu Li. It is adjacent to Mengdong River in Xiangxi and Fan Jing in Guizhou. It is the only road between Huaihua, Jishou and Tongren in Guizhou, and it is the hometown of the famous writer Shen Congwen.

Must-read for Phoenix Tourism —— Street soliciting and matters needing attention in Fenghuang Ancient City

Phoenix pays special attention: If you sign up for a one-day tour in a regular tourist reception unit, some soliciting people will maliciously quote a very exaggerated low price once they know it, and their general attitude is still very arrogant, which makes you feel extremely uncomfortable and think that you have spent more money. So no matter where you sign up, please learn more about the scenic spots first. It is better to know the relatively real side, and you can know the approximate market price from the side. Don't be overly superstitious about propaganda, and don't be suspicious everywhere. Spending money and wasting time are trivial matters.

One thing happened once, that is, soliciting guests to the club with online consultation. The guests took part in the tour organized by the club and gave them relatively affordable prices. However, the soliciting people were very excited when they learned that the club was too dark, and immediately said in front of the guests not to kill the guests she brought. The actual price is only 20 yuan and so on. At that time, the guests didn't know where to go and were very excited. We immediately offered to refund the money to the guests. The guests calmed their anger, but it brought unhappiness to all of us. They may be treated like guests. If they can kill guests, they will be very enthusiastic and simple. They can't kill the guests, so they change their faces. However, please make it clear that if you travel with people who do not have tourism qualifications, any accidents or complaints will not be helped and accepted by any competent department. In addition, to find out clearly, do they organize tourist routes for guests? Or buy tickets directly? The former is risky, and the latter is a kind of concession to the guests, but the latter must be a preferential ticket.

Travel agencies don't feel very good about many self-help tourists, but travel agencies are responsible for the safety and travel of their guests. As a regular travel agency, the Traveler's Club of Fenghuang Ancient City Network needs to earn tourism profits to survive, but we will try our best to save money for our guests in shopping, eating, bars, specialties and other aspects, and we can also save dozens or even hundreds of yuan for our guests. We only do what we deserve, and enough is enough. In Phoenix, soliciting customers in the street is called "alongside pigs". To put it bluntly, it is similar to a word-"alongside the rich." Generally speaking, it doesn't mean "who pulled a few guests?" Instead, I said, "Who has several pigs?" Street soliciting is actually prohibited in Phoenix, and the tourism management department has made great efforts to rectify it, just like most tourist areas in the country, but it is still flooded with huge interests. A large number of women soliciting in the street, they often take the initiative to take out a Zhang Moumou company's work permit or their own ID card, indicating that they are locals or simple staff in a scenic spot (many walls in Phoenix say that they apply for permits, which may be related to this, of course, the management department is cleaning up). First, women who stay near the bus stop solicit customers to get kickbacks. Most of them say that the innkeeper is their cousin. Second, women solicit customers in ancient streets and squares. These people ask tourists to take a boat outside the city, find an inn, and even follow you around the ancient city (some tourists think this is the simplicity of the locals, but in fact, she will soon go to the shops or inns you have visited to ask for benefits). If she follows the guests around and doesn't make her money, she will probably scold them in dialect. Even if you complain to the tourism department, it is only a perfunctory thing. Some tourists say something when they see local children. They think it's cute. If they just talk and don't buy their grass butterflies or river lanterns, most of them will be scolded. From this point of view, sometimes it is good to join the group in order to save worry and trouble, at least to avoid the entanglement of "pig people" hundreds of times a day. Now that you are in Phoenix, you can go to the scenic spots in the city and spend more than 90 yuan, such as boating on the Tuojiang River, Shen Congwen's former residence, Bell Tower, Yangjia Ancestral Hall, Xiong Xiling's former residence and Hongqiao Storm Building. Or take a rickshaw to Tingtao Mountain, the cemetery of Mr. Shen Congwen, and walk back slowly when you come back to smell the smoke and mud in the country, so as not to waste a phoenix.

Pay special attention: these soliciting people often don't help you find an inn, but also point you to a street and ask you about the inn from house to house. This looks very enthusiastic. In fact, the inn has to add money to the house price as a reward for these people. If you go to a regular travel agency to sign up for a tour, they will follow suit and ask for kickbacks, and even threaten the travel agency not to receive you. And they organize you to travel or take a day trip to Miao village, then you will face an ending: there is no way to complain. If you have an accident or an unpleasant trip, the only thing you can complain about is the scenic spot, which can't be completely solved for you. If you sign up at a travel agency, such as a traveler's club. At least there are storefronts and supervision by the tourism authorities. There are ways to complain and ways to claim compensation. When you leave home, I wish you all the best. As a tourism website, we need to survive and develop, but there are also many shortcomings, but we will try our best to improve it, serve more guests who trust us, share information resources with more tourism peers, and jointly promote the tourism resources in Xiangxi. As the saying goes: shop around, so here are the websites of travel peers, so that tourists who want to come to Xiangxi can know more.

If you have enough money, you can go to the West Station by car for about 7 hours. If you want to save money, you can take the train to Jishou, about 8 hours, and then transfer to Fenghuang in Jishou, 1 hour, 14 yuan.

Phoenix Tuojiang must go, not far from where you get off. Take a taxi and say the south gate of Fenghuang ancient city.

Then the fenshui valley is also good, and there is a small waterfall for boating.

You can also go to Miao village Miao village to divide seedlings and mature seedlings, and you don't have much contact with Han people. Basically, they are all relatively pure Miao descent, and the mature Miao have been sinicized.

Then you can go to the Great Wall in the south.

If you go alone, it can be cheaper than a tour group. One-day tour of Fenshui Valley+Miao Village+Nanchangcheng, lunch chartered at about 80- 100.

In the evening, you can also go to the bonfire party. I remember that the scale of the Phoenix in the world is still quite large. Tickets 30-40.

We went to Phoenix last week. Not bad. We can play. You can contact me if you don't know, Q.
