Xiangxi Fenghuang photography group

The ancient city of Fenghuang is really famous, so many tourists come to visit it, but there are still some regrets after visiting it, because the ancient city of Fenghuang is really too small, and it can be visited in almost two hours. The scenic spots of Fenghuang Ancient City are all ancient buildings, former residences and so on. And the scenic spots are really average, but the night view is not bad. In fact, to put it bluntly, this is because there is no local guide.

10 people ask at least 9 people, and they will all say that the ancient city of Fenghuang does not need a tour guide, and it is very small and simple, focusing on human landscapes and night scenes. In fact, these are not valid. Do you want to tell "an ancient city is waiting for you 1000 years" that this is all she has? The answer is definitely wrong. She has connotation, artistic conception and story. . . .

Next, we will come to Phoenix, the first ancient cultural city in China, on August 18.

Phoenix has a history of more than 2200 years since the establishment of the Qin Dynasty. Fenghuang County has been a inhabited area of Miao and Tujia since ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a long lawsuit in Wuzhai and a Phoenix Hall in Qing Dynasty, named after Phoenix Mountain in China. 19 13 changed to Fenghuang county. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Phoenix was the "Five Rivers Miao Di", which belonged to the territory of Chu. According to the textual research on the cultural relics unearthed in this county, China culture had an influence here at that time. .

There are tombs of Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties in Fengfei Mountain of Tuojiang Town, and tombs of Song Dynasty in Mujiangping Town and Xikou Township. It can be explained that people lived here in Fenghuang more than two thousand years ago. In this magical land, how many heroes have been destroyed and how many legends have been left.

The scenery of Phoenix is cultural. But this culture is heavy. Many names, such as the ancient battlefield in Qiliangdong and the Roman River, whose blood is thicker than water, are like the black birthmark of this beautiful scenery, reminding you from time to time. This culture is very simple. Entering Shen Congwen's former residence, Xiong Xiling's former residence and Huang Yongyu Painting Academy, with humble furnishings, shocking achievements, strong personality strength and a reverent attitude, we have completed a sacred life and cultural baptism. This culture still exists. Ordinary people's batik and tie-dye works, as well as the series of ginger sugar workshops with unique production technology and simple artistic style, make people have an all-round association of cultural integration. This culture is of course more solemn. At that time, the population of Fenghuang County was less than100000, but there were two large-scale academies, Jingxiu and Santan. What a strong cultural cry this is! Jingxiu Academy is a government-run institution, and the Confucius Temple is still there today. Santan Academy was founded by Wu Zifa, a Miao who was the commander and chief soldier of Guizhou Qiandong Military Region in the 13th year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty. Professor Xiao Jimei, academician of China Academy of Sciences and vice chairman of China Postdoctoral Foundation, enlightened here. Most people in the world only spend their money on building private houses, private gardens and buying private fields. Wu Zifa's awe of culture reveals the exploration of the outside, the arrangement of the inside, the evaluation of the value and the hope for the development of emerging people. Walking in the well-preserved Santan Academy and looking at the beautiful scenery of the four fields, how can you not be in awe?

The scenery of Phoenix belongs to the country. There are 18 ethnic groups living in a small county, which is probably rare in China. The best-preserved ancient stone city of Huangsiqiao in China, in a small circle of more than 20,000 square meters, there are more than 80 surnames belonging to many nationalities, with more than 10 families. However, many unique festivals of ethnic minorities are really fascinating: the Miao people's mourning for autumn, the eighth day of April, and the Tujia people's civil and military tea lanterns, combined with hundreds of years of Yang opera, not only retain the national texture, but also are obviously different from the customs of being in a different place, which are fascinating.

The scenery of the Phoenix is naturally world-wide. Because of Shen Congwen, many people, regardless of the fatigue of long journey, take Phoenix as their ultimate goal, which is a direct response to the aesthetic essence, a refuge for literature, an approval for art and a judgment on history. Or go to Zhuntian to see twenty huge murals of Huang Yongyu, which are meticulously created and brilliant. Facing the excellent works of the four walls, chewing the inscription and postscript of the symbiosis of wisdom and humor, the moral infection is coming. Here, Phoenix people's inheritance of tradition, handling of culture, thinking about the world and longing for the future are all revealed. This is the national scenery and the world scenery.

In other words, the topic of history, culture, nationality and the world is too heavy, and many trips are just for the strange and beautiful natural scenery of Phoenix. "The wise are in Leshan, and the benevolent are happy." This is also a valuable recognition.

There is also Shen Lao Xiong Fenghuang.

This is the legendary ancient city of Fenghuang, with many celebrities and local customs.

Phoenix celebrity

1, a literary master-Shen Congwen

The former residence of Shen Congwen, the master and the father of world local literature, is located in the ancient city of Fenghuang. After visiting the former residence, you can explore Shen Congwen's tortuous and romantic love legend and his painful experience of missing Nobel Prize in Literature. . . . . .

2. Premier of the Republic of China-Xiong Xiling

The former residence of Xiong Xiling, Prime Minister of Yuan Shikai's Cabinet, is also in Fenghuang Ancient City. When you walk into the Prime Minister's house, you can not only feel the growth of Xiong Xiling in Phoenix, but also experience the mysterious geomantic omen of the official family, and you can also lament the strong perseverance of the Prime Minister in throwing away his crutches and shaving off his beard for the perfect love of Professor Mao Yanwen. . . . . .

3. Famous painter-Huang Yongyu

Huang Yongyu, a master, genius and winner of the Olympic Art Award, held an exhibition of paintings in Wanshou Palace. China, two masters of Hunan art world: one is Qi Baishi, who is good at painting; The other is Huang Yongyu, an all-rounder (with great achievements in prose, painting, woodcut and sculpture). Everyone who drinks knows that he designed the sack bottle of alcoholic liquor; As stamp collectors know, the monkey ticket with the highest growth multiple in China comes from its design (from 8 cents/piece in 1983 to 8,500 yuan/piece now); Anyone who smokes knows that the woodcut watermark "Ashima" of Yunyan comes from its design. On the second floor of Wanshou Palace, there are four original works of Huang Lao: water lotus, hometown lotus pond and both sides of Tuojiang River for people to enjoy; After visiting the second floor of Wanshou Palace, you can feel Huang Yongyu, who is versatile, knowledgeable but unsociable, simple and honest, wise and humorous, irrelevant, attached importance to feelings and righteousness, and "stressed on principles but not to be taunted".

Phoenix features:

Miao people are a very hospitable people. When you walk into Miaogu Miao Village, you can feel the enthusiasm of Miao family. Most of them use chicken, duck, fish, meat and fungus, mushrooms, tofu, as well as pickled fish, vegetables with hydrochloric acid, sausages, blood tofu and other dishes with national characteristics. Not only to propose a toast to persuade wine, but also to sing ancient songs and flying songs to entertain;

The most national feature of Fenghuang Miao family is the centennial diaojiao building. After you board Wu Peng's boat at the North Gate Pier, the boatman will entertain you with touching folk songs, and you can row all the way through the century-old diaojiao building. Do you know why the boatman sings folk songs? Mr. Shen Congwen told us: Without Bi Gong's singing, how can we attract Miao women with white faces and good smiles? . . . . . .

At the Expo, the Phoenix people called it "rushing to the field". All kinds of agricultural products on the market are rich and cheap, and there are rare products with various national characteristics. Miao Town Fair is also a beautiful place for Miao girls. At first glance, all kinds of national costumes are colorful. Markets in fenghuang town were held almost every day for five days. Generally, there will be more people going to the market around 10, and they will leave around 4 pm. I suggest you go to Jiang Shan market, where most of them are Miao people with strong ethnic customs. By the way, you can go to Miao people's valley Miao village next to the market.

Data flow information

1. The nearest airports to Fenghuang County: Tongren Phoenix Airport, Zhangjiajie Lotus Airport and Huaihua Zhijiang Airport. You need to change trains when you arrive. There is no railway station in Fenghuang County, and there is a transit at Jishou Railway Station nearby.

2. There are three bus stations in Fenghuang County, of which Chengbei Bus Station and Tuotian Bus Station are the most visited. The former is also called Phoenix North Bus Station or Phoenix Bus Terminal, and tourists usually get off at this station to go to Phoenix by bus. Tourists drifting in Hongjiang Ancient Mall, Qianyang Ancient City and Xuefeng Mountain can take a bus or transfer at Tuotian Bus Station.

3. After arriving in Fenghuang County (detailed transportation to Fenghuang County), take bus 1 3 outside the station and get off at Huananmen Station to reach the ancient city. If you take a taxi from North Station to Hongqiao, the cost is about 10- 15 yuan (taxi is basically about the price, not the meter).

Accommodation options in Fenghuang ancient city 1: hotels and guesthouses

Advantages: it is more suitable for middle-aged people or tourists who are convenient to park. Many of these are newly-built antique diaojiao buildings.

Disadvantages: it's a little far from the ancient city, so you can't feel the local atmosphere well, and most hotels will be packed by tour groups, which is noisy.

Scheme 2: Linjiang Diaojiaolou Characteristic Inn

Advantages: These inns are close to Tuojiang River, picturesque and comfortable. The diaojiao buildings in Fenghuang ancient city are all on both sides of the Tuojiang River, but they are divided into upstream, middle and downstream. It is suggested that the middle reaches are the best position.

Disadvantages: Because of the development of tourism, there are more and more bars, so you may have to spend the night in the noise.

Recommendation: From Hongqiao to Wuqiao in the middle and lower reaches, Huilongge Ancient Street under Hongqiao is the best place to stay, which is close to places to eat and play, and much quieter than the diaojiao building in the middle reaches. Back to Longge Ancient Street, I live by the river of the ancient city, with beautiful scenery. It takes a few minutes to walk to the core area of the ancient city, which is not very laborious. Diaojiaolou in the middle and lower reaches is usually large in scale and selective. Riverside houses on both sides of Hongqiao are usually found slowly, and you can live comfortably. It is best to book a room on the river in peak season and weekend. The price is between 150 and 500, and generally between 80 and 200 in the off-season.

Option 3: It's a homestay in Fenghuang Ancient City that doesn't face the river.

Advantages: this kind of homestay is generally located behind the riverside inn, and the price is halved. The off-season is generally around 50 yuan, and the peak season is around 80.

Disadvantages: the conditions are a little worse, and this kind of hotel can hardly see the Tuojiang River.

Tip: It is particularly important to note that the hotel room rate in Phoenix does not include air conditioning and invoices. It usually takes 20 minutes to get to 30 yuan with air conditioning. There are also some inns in the ancient city that basically do not provide disposable toiletries, so you need to bring your own towels and bath towels.

Fenghuang gourmet

1. Three Gorges pot

Sanguotou is a specialty of Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang. Streets and alleys can be seen everywhere. The main ingredients of this dish, such as fat sausage, pork tripe, beef tripe, sheep tripe, pig's trotters or walnut kernels, are two or three or more, which are specially processed by local chefs and cooked in one pot. Three pots are also divided into dry pot and soup pot. Dry pot without soup, spicy. People who can't eat spicy food had better not order. Although this dish is delicious, it is generally not found in hotels in Zhangjiajie, but only in some small restaurants frequented by local people.

2. Stewed chicken with rock ears

Rock ears grow on steep cliffs and look like fungi. Because it is difficult to pick, it is precious, delicious and extremely nutritious. It's stewed slowly with chickens and ducks, like ginseng bird's nest. Has the effects of strengthening body constitution and beauty beauty. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this dish has been an annual tribute to the emperor.

3. Farmers eat meat.

A plate of fried meat from farmers shows the local Tujia customs. Different from ordinary fried meat, the aroma of firewood and the unique pepper in Hunan make this dish taste different.

drum head

The local area is also commonly known as peeling, which is the meat attached to the ribs of cattle. It tastes soft and crisp, but an adult cow can only pick up dozens of pounds. The meat in cattle joints tastes a little sloppy, but it will become more brittle when stewed, and the materials are relatively simple, so it has become the main ingredient of hot pot. Small red pepper, small green pepper, garlic seed, pepper and pepper leaves are the ingredients of hot pot.

snack

1. Sweet wine dumplings

Home-brewed sweet rice wine is cooked by farmers, and cooked glutinous rice dumplings are added. A few minutes later, a bowl of liqueur jiaozi is ready. Sweet and soft glutinous rice with the sweetness of sweet wine, swallowed in one gulp, warms the whole body and is sweet to the heart!

2. Bao Gu Ba Ba

In fact, corn Baba is a snack made of corn Baba, corn flour and glutinous rice wrapped in zongzi leaves. Corn flour and glutinous rice lose their stickiness and taste when mixed together, which is suitable for all ages.

Eat all over Fenghuang ancient city

Wake up in the foggy ancient city in the morning and have a bowl of rice noodles. At present, the three rice noodle shops visited by Phoenix locals are all near Ximenta. You can ask the innkeeper, or open a mobile navigation. It's not far. One is Xiao Li's rice noodle shop, the other is goose powder, and the other is Fiona Fang rice noodle tube.

You can choose a restaurant with a clearly marked price for dinner. It is best not to consider it near Hongqiao in the center of the ancient city. The rent is expensive, but the appetite is small.

Phoenix's specialties are blood duck, bracken, Sichuan-style pork, canned mushrooms, bean curd residue and sauerkraut soup, which are delicious and cheap.

A must-see snack in Phoenix. Many tourists and friends choose to eat supper at night. There are two places to eat supper in Phoenix. One is the night market street in Hongqiao Head. There are many people and almost every family is a guest. Tuqiaolong also has a night market, a barbecue stall several hundred meters at night. It is very popular, and many locals in Phoenix used to eat supper.

Phoenix Bar is a major feature, which is basically divided into two categories: 1. Qing bar, basically distributed on Yanhe Street in Huilongge Ancient Street. There are stories about Zephyr Thin Horse, Donovan and Time. Some of them are located in South Street, Yin's remote residence at the end of Yuan Dynasty, and the escape from Utopia opposite Longge Diaojiao Building Group. Generally, per capita consumption of a cup of coffee is 30 to 50 yuan, and tea is basically around 30. .

Let's make trouble. There are basically several restaurants in the upper part of Huilongge Ancient Street, including the base bar, the bar along the way, the night watchman bar, the Huilong bar and the Hantang bar. A bottle of beer is between 25 and 40.

As for leisure cafes, there are really too many, and the per capita consumption is basically 30 yuan.

What should I pay attention to when traveling to Fenghuang Ancient City?

1. Fenghuang ancient city, the streets are full of soliciting. As long as there are tourists, you can hear: "by boat?" /Watch the party? /Go to Miao Village? /take pictures? /accommodation? /Eat? /wearing Miao costumes? ..... "Variety is nothing more than recommending Phoenix" The Most Affordable "to you; Analysis: Their prices are changeable. When there is a demand, please make it clear as far as possible and don't be vague. The best way to refuse is to have taken a boat/seen a party/been to Miao village, etc. You can tell them that you have consumed what they promoted.

2. The same is true on the shuttle bus to Fenghuang Ancient City. Whether you go to Zhangjiajie from Jishou, Huaihua, Tongren or Zhangjiajie, there must be many local people to provide you with services when you get off the bus. Their prices are basically very low, whether it is accommodation or play, you can bargain. If you don't know how to refuse, you will naturally follow them and go to see their house. If one family is not satisfied, I will give you another. Analysis: You can choose them or reject them, but you can't fool them. As the saying goes, you should be kind, and you can't let them take you all over the street and finally pat your ass and refuse. Decisiveness, choice, affirmation.

3. If you travel to Phoenix by car, you will meet many enthusiastic people to guide you and serve you as soon as you enter Fenghuang County. Most men ride motorcycles, and women knock on the window to show you the way. Analysis: If you want to refuse, you can tell them that everything has been arranged for you, so as not to follow, touch porcelain and other unpleasant things, which often start like this.

4. In the beautiful Xiangxi, there are many simple and warm-hearted people to serve everyone. Be careful when you go out, and good and evil are in your heart. When we encounter problems or needs, we can think carefully ... Analysis: Phoenix really has many enthusiastic people and has received a lot of praise on the Internet. You can't deny all Phoenix people just because some unkind people. When you are away from home, you should know how to respect others.

5, soliciting customers, but also for life, many times, they can really bring you a lot of convenience and many benefits; Analysis: not all soliciting customers take kickbacks and force everyone to spend. Sometimes living in their home is really comfortable.

6, don't be greedy and cheap, there is no free lunch in the world, this sentence is very useful in Phoenix;

7. There are many stalls in Phoenix. Just buy some jokes to play with. I don't believe you can buy ancestral treasures on the street stalls. Analysis: No amount of treasures can be sold in stalls. There are ten dollars and three kinds of silverware all over the street. Don't be ashamed to argue with others about the so-called value of ten dollars.

8. Don't trust too many shops strongly recommended by others. Buy silverware, ginger candy, batik and other tourist commodities. Please try to choose a large shop with complete licenses. Analysis: I had better choose what I want to buy. Don't ask me to recommend you. I'm scared. Sometimes I feel that I took your kickback when I kindly recommended it. Of course I can understand this kind of thing, because kickbacks exist objectively. In order not to be wronged by everyone, I can only say that I try to choose a big store with complete licenses.

9. When making any choice, please choose clearly marked goods. I have always thought that "one-price" goods are the most worth choosing. Because there is no need for complicated bargaining, and the original value or quality will not be reduced because of the boss's concessions.
