The best self-help tour route from Nanyang to Fenghuang Ancient City.

1. Introduction to the ancient city of Fenghuang

1. K57/K51 Nanyang-Jishou 12:2-22:181 hours and 16 minutes hard berth 99 hard berth 183 K267 Nanyang-Jishou 2:16-12:321 hours and 16 minutes hard berth 99 hard berth 183 1645 Nanyang-Jishou 23: Take the bus to Phoenix at the bus station, turn left for 5m from the train station, or take the bus to Phoenix directly at the train station. The price is 8-1 yuan, and it takes about one and a half hours to get to Phoenix.

2. The most common mode of transportation is motorcycle and tricycle, with 1 yuan money in the city and 2 yuan or 5 yuan out of the city, depending on the length of the route.

3. Phoenix transportation: The most common mode of transportation is motorcycle and tricycle. 1 yuan in the city has enough money, and it varies from 2 yuan or 5 yuan outside the city, depending on the length of the route.

Second, eat and drink:

Phoenix people's tastes are close to ours, and they emphasize on hot and sour. If you can't eat Chili, don't forget to make a statement before eating.

1. Blood rake duck. A lot of information about Phoenix can be seen that someone vomited blood and recommended blood rake duck. The so-called blood rake is a kind of block made of glutinous rice and duck blood, and its taste is similar to Ciba.

2, blood sausage. Pour glutinous rice and animal blood into the casing. .

3. Tofu. Hematemesis recommended! Ordinary tofu, phoenix's is delicious. No matter how fried, boiled and fried, the taste is different from Yichang's, so I don't need to go into details, but that is delicious! Be sure to eat!

4. salted eggs. Phoenix's marinated eggs are peeled and marinated, which is very tough.

5. Stir-fried sauerkraut. It's a little close to our Chinese cabbage, but it's better.

6. glutinous rice wine. A kind of low-alcohol self-made wine, with sweet taste and little energy, is more suitable for people with low alcohol consumption. But be sure to make it clear that it is glutinous rice wine, not rice wine. One word is short, and it is dozens of degrees short.

7. There are many barbecue stalls in the night market in Fenghuang Ancient City. Their snack night market is separated from the new city and the old city. The new city is specially for local people, and the price is relatively cheap. The Hongqiao night market in the old city is all for tourists, and the price is relatively expensive.

I went to the night market for a few meals. Among many barbecues, grilled fish is the best, grilled crucian carp and 35 yuan strips. The master spent a lot of time grilling them. With a special barbecue rack, he cut the fish open and put it in the rack. After applying more than a dozen spices, he turned to the other side, continued to apply spices, and then continued to turn. After baking with spices for more than 2 minutes, the grilled fish came on stage. It is reasonable to say that with so many spices, the taste of fish should be covered, but surprisingly, you can still eat the delicious taste of fish, and it matches well with the taste of spices. The spice tastes a bit like cumin, but it is not as strong as cumin. It tastes moderate and tastes different.

I also tasted roast red sausage, roasted eggplant, mushrooms and so on. Baked eggplant tastes ordinary, it is not dry enough, and it doesn't taste fragrant enough. But the sausage is good. Although it is dry, it won't dry mouth, it is chewy and the meat is very fresh. Roasted mushrooms taste as good as the spices of grilled fish.

3. Shopping

1. Ginger sugar. As long as you have been to Phoenix, you won't be ignorant of ginger sugar, which is a kind of sugar boiled with white sugar or brown sugar and Jiang Mo. It is sold in all the streets of Phoenix, and Xiong, Zhang, Li, Liu and Wu-hundreds of surnames can be found here, all claiming to be authentic. You can taste it at the drawing site, if you don't like it, change to another one, and turn around, not only can you choose your favorite taste, but you can save the connected rice. And there is a lovely little rule. When buying ginger candy, he won't even ask the boss to give you an extra small bag, but he still smiles when you sit in his shop and taste it for nothing.

2. Tie-dyeing and batik. They are all white flowers with a blue background, but the technology is different. Tie-dye patterns are mainly ethnic patterns, while batik is more about the local scenery of Phoenix. You can find a shop owner named Teng Shufang on Hongqiao, who can take you to see the batik scene, another free scenic spot!

3. Nuo masks. This shop is run by a couple. The boss's surname is Mrs. Yang and the surname is Que. They are both painters. Boss Yang claims that he is not talkative, but when he opens his mouth, he will tell many stories about local ghosts and gods in Phoenix. He is a man who is in awe of the gods. His shop is full of Phoenix Nuo opera characters he painted on various carriers (such as gourd ladle, rice spoon, laundry hammer and wild boar tooth), which is a real national craft.

4. window grilles. Under the East Gate Tower, there is an old lady Wu, who is over eighty years old. As long as the weather is fine, she will carve flowers by hand there, with meticulous stitches and a loving smile, and tell the contents of the window grilles she carved in a warm voice: "This is the Eight Immortals, and this is the mouse marrying a daughter ..."

5. I recommend Liu Dabao's printing and dyeing and the Fu Ji silver shop in the ancient street, with 3 yuan/gram of silver.

4. Accommodation:

1. It's very convenient. You can generally find hostels. The price ranges from 1 yuan to 1 yuan for one night. Generally, 2 yuan is the most cost-effective.

2. The owner of Tuojiang Renjia Inn, Bao Zhongyi, is called Master Bao.

3. There is also a Jiangbei Inn recommended online.

5. Reference route:

Day 1: Take a bus to Jishou, Hunan.

Day 2: Arrive at Jishou, the capital of western Hunan, where Tujia and Miao ethnic minorities live at about 8 am. Go to the bus station and take the CMB to Fenghuang County immediately (ticket to 6 yuan, the journey takes about one hour, and it runs every half hour). Arrive in Fenghuang County and stay in the county guest house (5 yuan/night, with water heater and toilet). Then look at the jumping bridge, the diaojiao building, the "women washing clothes" written by Shen Congwen and the residents carrying baskets on their backs by the Tuojiang River. You can swim downstream along the river, or you can take a boat trip back and forth in 25 yuan. Most of the rivers are gentle and clear, and sometimes there are rapids, so it is worth a ride. You Feng Yu Bridge, Wanming Tower, etc. From time to time, I can see young people who are interested in painting in houses. When you come back to visit the old street near the square, you can buy ethnic silverware, dyed paintings and other specialties. Shen Congwen is here, but he closes at 5pm (ticket to 4 yuan). In the evening, you can eat in the guest house restaurant, and the price is cheap. You can also eat barbecue in the street. Vegetarian dishes cost 5 cents each, and meat costs 1 cent each. Phoenix is very humid, so consider drinking a little wine. Xiangquan wine (4 yuan/small bottle) produced by Jiugui Liquor Factory. A meal down, everyone but 1 yuan).

Day 3: Have breakfast in the street in the morning. 1. 2 yuan can eat well. Take the bus to Sanjiang Miao Village at the bus station, and the fare is 3 yuan. It is better if you meet the market. The local people are mainly Miao people, living in poverty, wearing national costumes, and can stroll around the village. The elderly Miao people can't speak Chinese. The scenery on the road is also very good, beautiful scenery, you can walk back slowly, and when you are tired, cut off the passing cars and return to Phoenix.

Day 4: Go to Alaying, the border market in Hunan, Guizhou and Guizhou provinces, Huangsiqiao Ancient City (the wall is well preserved) and the Great Wall in the south, all of which are in the same direction (it is best to take a chartered tour, about 8 yuan). Go back to Jishou and take the train back to Nanyang.
