Where to go for May Day travel?

Let’s travel to Fenghuang Ancient Town!

Fenghuang Ancient City is located in western Hunan and is known as "the most beautiful small town in China". The ancient city of Fenghuang attracted attention because of Shen Congwen's novel "Border Town". There are not only beautiful landscapes here, but also fascinating humanistic qualities. Art master Huang Yongyu and literary giant Shen Congwen both entered the hearts of the world from here. The sky in Fenghuang Ancient City is blue, the mountains are green, and the water is green. Staying at an inn by the Tuojiang River, sitting on the edge of the bed, watching the river flow quietly eastward, I felt that the whole world had become quiet.

Tickets to Hunan Fenghuang Ancient City’s free era scenic spots are 148 yuan per person

Phoenix tickets:

Phoenix now has a combined ticket for sale, a large pass is 226 yuan, and a small pass is 226 yuan. The pass (9 attractions in the ancient city) is 148 yuan. The 11 Datong attractions include: Southern Great Wall, Qiliang Cave, + Small Pass (former residence of Shen Congwen, Ancient City Museum, Chongde Hall, East Gate Tower, Yang Family Ancestral Hall, Tuojiang River Rafting, Former Residence of Xiong Xiling, Hongqiao Art Building, Longevity Palace and the above nine The scenery is a small pass). Now we not only sell tickets for the nine scenic spots in the ancient city, but also use a one-ticket system for 148 yuan. The ticket office is next to the Cultural Square, at the Tourism Bureau ticket window, and there is another ticket office in Hongqiao.

Phoenix Accommodation:

There are many hotels for accommodation in Phoenix, and the prices vary according to the location and the grade of the hotel. They are mainly divided into four types: large hotels in the county town, small inns in the county town, Linjiang inns on the Tuojiang River, and non-Linjiang inns on the Tuojiang River.

Large hotels and small inns in the county: Most of the people who stay in these hotels are group tourists, and the majority of tourists are over 30 years old. Large hotels are on the expensive side, with room rates basically at 100. Small inns are cheap, only a few dozen yuan. If you are traveling independently, it is not recommended to stay in the county town.

Linjiang Inn on the Tuojiang River: Personally, I recommend staying at the Linjiang Inn on the Tuojiang River, especially for couples. When you open the window, you can see the clear Tuojiang River, blow the river breeze, and enjoy the beautiful night view of the ancient city. This feels absolutely great and romantic. However, the price of riverside houses is not cheap, and the house prices are basically hundreds of dollars. And the closer to Hongqiao, the more expensive the price is, ranging from 150-200, and it will be slightly cheaper in the off-season. Personally, I recommend living upstream (Hongqiao is downstream) and near Jinshui Bridge. There are many hotels here and the prices are relatively cheaper. There are also many riverside rooms with prices around 100 yuan. So if you want to experience the feeling of a house facing the Tuojiang River and save money, then live next to Jinshui Bridge. Here, we usually discuss the price with the boss.

Non-Linjiang Inn by Tuojiang River: There are too many of these. You can just enter from any alley next to Tuojiang River. The price is not expensive, between 20-80 yuan.

There is another hotel that I will talk about separately. Haha, it is the Phoenix International Youth Hostel. Travel friends generally know this kind of youth hostel. It has a single room with bunk beds. It is very simple, but the price is cheap. There is also such a restaurant in Fenghuang. It is located next to the east gate of Hongqiao in Fenghuang Ancient Town (No. 11, Shawan). You can get off Hongqiao and turn right along the river to the tower, which is 50 meters away. There are a lot of foreign tourists staying there. Maybe this is the only hotel in Phoenix where you can book rooms all over the world through the Internet!

Phoenix Transportation:

There are three hotels in Phoenix Bus Station: North Bus Station, which mainly runs buses to Jishou, Changsha, Zhangjiajie and Changde. There is a Tuqiaolong Station. This station has buses to various Miao villages. Friends who want to go to the Miao villages don’t need to buy tickets in the ancient city. They can just take the bus here. The last stop is at the Folklore Garden, a bus bound for Huaihua.

Zhangjiajie to Phoenix

Most people will choose to spend 61 yuan to take a direct bus because it is very convenient and saves a lot of trouble of changing trains. It can be reached in four hours, but there are relatively few trains. , there are only two buses a day, 8:30 in the morning and 14:30 in the afternoon. If you just can't catch up with these two buses, you can choose to stay in the city for one night or take the train to Jishou first and then transfer to Fenghuang. The train to Jishou is in the afternoon. There are many, including 17:28, 18:30, and 17:30. The CMB bus from Jishou to Fenghuang ends around 8:30 pm. Of course, friends with money can spend 80-100 to charter a car there.

Aviation: First fly to Zhangjiajie Airport, then follow the railway to Jishou, and then to Fenghuang. Or take a taxi to Fenghuang from Tongren Daxing Airport in Guizhou, which is 30 kilometers away. It costs about 30 yuan.

Take a tour of Zhangjiajie on the way

You can pass through Zhangjiajie on your departure or return trip. As the saying goes, "See the mountains in Zhangjiajie and enjoy the water in Jiuzhaigou Valley." Of course, tickets for Zhangjiajie's scenic spots are not cheap now, but that's it. If you are interested, just pass by on your way back and pick out some of the highlights to visit. Because if you want to see the whole picture, you can spend seven or eight days with a map.

The core scenic area of ??Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie is very large, covering an area of ??264 square kilometers. In the scenic area, 3,000 stone peaks rise from the ground, and 800 winding streams can be said to be a fusion of peaks, forests, caves, and lakes. , waterfall, strange, beautiful, secluded, wild and dangerous in one, "five steps to a scene, ten steps to a sky", it is praised by Chinese and foreign tourists as "the most amazing mountain in the world" and "the original of Chinese landscape painting".

Wulingyuan core scenic spot refers to a large concept, including Forest Park (that is, Huangshi Village, Jinbian Stream and Yuanjiajie), Yangjiajie, Tianzishan Nature Reserve (including Grand View Terrace, Laowuchang and Helong Park) and part of Suoxiyu - Shili Gallery. A unified ticket for these places is 248 yuan, which means that whether you only visit Yuanjiajie, Shili Gallery, Laowuchang or all of the above places, you will have to spend 248 yuan. There are 5 ticket stations that you can enter, namely Forest Park Ticket Station, Wulingyuan Ticket Station, Tianzishan Ticket Station, Zimugang Ticket Station, and Yangjiajie Ticket Station. You can enter the above scenic spots by buying tickets at any ticket station.

There are many local specialties here in Zhangjiajie, especially kiwi fruit, Qingyan tea, lobster scented tea, pine mushrooms, etc., which are authentic, cheap and good-quality; Sangzhi salted tofu is a tribute of the Qing Dynasty. The three treasures include kudzu root powder, fern root powder, stone fungus, and eucommia tea. They are all natural green drinks that integrate health and longevity. Maoping Maojian tea has a fragrant aroma, a mellow taste and a beautiful color. After drinking, it moistens the lungs and refreshes the mind. They are all good specialties; in addition, you can also buy some Tujia-style "Lameizi Lala" series of foods to take home.
