Where is a better place to live in Fenghuang Ancient Town?

Recently, Bian Xiao was chasing a drama, and the most frequently heard word was Phoenix, but when she started talking about Phoenix, Bian Xiao actually thought of the ancient town of Phoenix. The history and scenery of Fenghuang ancient town for so many years are really worth remembering. Let's take a look.

Scenic spot 1. Scenery of Fenghuang ancient city

When I come to Phoenix, I always inevitably think of Shen Congwen. Standing on the stumbling stone road, no matter how "harassed" the soliciting merchants are, Phoenix will not let you down as long as I enjoy the scenery with a tolerant attitude.

2. Get up early and go boating in Tuojiang River

Tuojiang River is the mother river of Fenghuang Ancient City. The river is green and clear, freezing cold. For tourists, Tuojiang River is the section of the river near the wall of Fenghuang Ancient City. Generally speaking, the most common way to visit Tuojiang River is to get on the boat from the pier near the north gate, go downstream and enjoy the diaojiao buildings on both sides. On the way, you can also hear the boatman's horn and folk songs duet.

If you want to play special and don't want to be crowded, there are two ways to play: one is to get up at 6: 30 in the morning and take a boat. At this time, the phoenix was very quiet, the river was foggy, and the locals carrying bamboo baskets on the shore passed by tourists. The second is to go to the lower reaches of the river, where it is much quieter. Maybe you can see women beating their clothes while washing clothes!

There is also a scenic spot in Tuojiang River called "Tuojiang Jumping Rock", which consists of two rows of independent square stone piers, forming a unique channel connecting the two sides. Standing on the jumping rock, behind it is the vast Tuojiang River. The scenery is so beautiful that people are nostalgic. There are the least people in the morning, so you can ask your partner to stand on the wooden bridge next to you and take pictures of you.

3. Look at the night scene and visit the ancestral temple near the North Gate Tower.

The North Gate Tower is located in the south bank of Tuojiang River in the north of the ancient city, which is quaint and unique. The lights on the rostrum, against the backdrop of moonlight, are sprinkled on the surface of Tuojiang River, showing a mirage-like reflection, which is the best place to watch the night view of Tuojiang River.

Walk along the city wall to the East Gate Tower, and the wooden ladder along the road can go down to the street. On the way, I saw an old building that said "Fenghuang County", which is the Yangjia Ancestral Hall.

4. Appreciate the Cuilou designed by the famous painter Huang Yongyu.

Duocui Building is the most primitive preserved building at present, and it is also the most magnificent, exquisite and aesthetic building in the ancient city. This building is an arched building, with long feet facing the water, suspended platform and steep cornices, which is integrated with the surrounding diaojiao building. It is also the best place to watch Shawan Scenic Area.

There is a steep staircase at the entrance of the inn next to the building to seize the Cuilou. Huang Yongyu comes once a year, which is his only way. It is said that every time Huang Yongyu returns to Xiangxi, he always opens the window of Duocui Building and paints the landscape outside.

(PS: Duocui Building is closed to the public. You can have a cup of coffee in the opposite building and overlook its scenery. )

5. Overlooking the beautiful scenery of Tuojiang River on Hongqiao

Before I got to know Phoenix, I would only think of Shanghai Hongqiao when I mentioned this name. Although both have their own styles, Phoenix Hongqiao attracts me with its beautiful historical scenery. Lying on the Tuojiang River feels like returning to a classical town from a distance. Tired of sightseeing, it's even more exciting to sit down and have a rest and look at the Wu Peng ships all over the river, as if the whole Tuojiang River has become a dynamic picture.

The scenery of Fenghuang ancient city does not stop there. Shen Congwen's former residence, Wanming Building, Dongmen Building and Xiong Xiling's former residence are all famous places in the city. As a result, many people are bound to come here, so how to play to get the best experience?

The ancient city of Fenghuang enjoys the spring scenery with green mountains and green waters, which can be played all year round: the ice bath in Tuojiang Natural Bathroom in midsummer, the sideline business in Miaozhai Town after the autumn harvest (the expression of love between young men and women), and the ancient search in Fenghuang Lengshiban Street in the middle of winter.

How did the ancient city of Fenghuang visit Phoenix? It is recommended to go to the Miao village where you work. Different from Miao village in Guizhou, the beauty of the integration of Miao and Han in Fenghuang ancient city gives people unusual visual enjoyment. It is the most primitive Miao village, and there is no electricity. If you go from Phoenix, you need to take a bus, a boat and then go. Deep in the mountains, the canyons you pass along the way are beautiful, and the buildings in the village are also very distinctive.

Visiting Hongqiao, the most beautiful five-star view is the Huilongge River under the bridge. Come down from Huashan in the south of Hongqiao and walk along Bar Street. You will see a temple on the right. Go 50 meters further, and there are several paths leading to the river on the left. Although they are small and dark, you will see the most beautiful scenery of Phoenix.

Don't be idle at night. By the beautiful Tuojiang River, under the intoxicating night light of the ancient city, put a voluntary lamp in the Tuojiang River to send your thoughts and thoughts. It is said that it is quite energetic. North Gate Wharf, Hongqiao and Wanming Tower are the best places to place river lanterns.

Where to visit Phoenix? Accommodation in Phoenix is mainly divided into three areas:

Ancient City Inn: Convenient transportation, beautiful scenery, especially charming night view. The disadvantage is that there are more bars and it is a little noisy at night.

Jinjiayuan Liwan Parking Lot: that is, the upper reaches of Nanhuamen. It is very convenient to take the bus. Personally, I think it's quiet enough and the natural scenery is beautiful. It is very convenient to be located at the intersection of the ancient city and the new city.

Near Chengbei Station: It's far away and the traffic is inconvenient. It is not recommended if you play.

Some friends like to choose Diaojiaolou for accommodation. Diaojiaolou is located on both sides of Tuojiang River, but it is divided into upstream, middle and downstream. The upper reaches are close to the new city, and there is no smell of the ancient city. The middle reaches are the best, but only in terms of relative appreciation, there are more and more bars, which are too noisy at night.

The most prosperous accommodation in Suotuojiang River is concentrated in the middle and lower reaches, and Huilongge Ancient Street under Hongqiao is the best accommodation area, which is close to places to eat and play, and much quieter than the diaojiao building in the middle reaches.

As for the variety of inns, the price ranges from 40 to 400. According to the location, conditions, facilities, grades and reputation of the inn, there are also many gaps in the viewing effect.

What kind of phoenix dishes are mainly spicy and sour, full of flavor, which can make you sweat and eat. The specialties here are blood-soaked duck, glutinous rice fish with Chinese sauerkraut, next year's bacon, canned mushrooms, tofu in sour soup, dried radish and so on. These brands alone can make people's index fingers move.

Sweet rice wine: a kind of low-alcohol sweet wine brewed with glutinous rice, just like the scenery of the phoenix, it feels soft and sweet at first, and then intoxicates. Remember to put it in a bamboo tube and warm it in water before eating.

Camus Commune Rice: A major feature of Phoenix, this rice contains fresh and tender commune dishes, wild onions and glutinous rice, as well as Tujia bacon collected from the field. When the rice cooker is turned on, the fragrance is overflowing, which makes people drool.

Camus fish with Chinese sauerkraut: This is a famous dish in Fenghuang Miao Township. Wash the fish, gut it, marinate it with glutinous rice flour or corn flour, and take it out for about 15 days. It can be fried, fried and eaten raw, and has a unique taste.

Blood-paste duck: another symbol of phoenix. Made of duck blood and fragrant glutinous rice, fried with ducks. It smells very strong. Phoenix Legend and A Niu are the most famous blood ducks, and the inscription of Zhu Ji (Phoenix) is more expensive.

Ginger Sugar: Ginger Sugar is sold in many places in Phoenix, and "Liu's Ginger Sugar" is recommended. You can look at the color when you buy it. You should buy dark yellow ginger candy. Authentic ginger candy, put in your mouth, does not stick to your teeth, indicating that a leavening agent has been added. Want to buy authentic ginger candy, recommend Liu's ginger candy shop, a real century-old shop.

Restaurant recommendation: Wanmuzhai

Wanmuzhai is the most authentic time-honored restaurant in Phoenix. It was personally named and inscribed by the famous painter Mr. Huang Yongyu. The decoration is simple and generous, and they are all local specialties.

Address: Hongqiao Middle Road 1 16

Per capita consumption: 35-40 yuan

Specially recommended: braised duck with blood, Tuojiang shrimp, glutinous rice hot and sour slices.

PS: Don't consider it near Hongqiao in the center of the ancient city. Some restaurants in the ancient city are unusual. Walk along Huilongge Ancient Street to Shen Congwen Cemetery, and there is Miaoshan Folk Hotel near the farmer's boat wharf, with a per capita consumption of 25-35 yuan.

If you live upstream, it is recommended to consider a small restaurant on Juyuan Road or a food street opposite the county government, which are all good choices. Heizaiwu Restaurant, Shuishanglou Restaurant, Louwailou Restaurant and Pan Changjiang Restaurant are restaurants that can see the scenery of Tuojiang River. It is very comfortable to watch the scenery while eating.

Although the scenery of the ancient city is pleasant, its commercialization will inevitably lead to a deceptive trap, and it is not shameful to take it away!

The anti-fraud and slaughter strategy of Fenghuang ancient city is consumed in Fenghuang ancient city. Keep in mind a principle: "Take a look, ask two questions clearly and bargain three times" can't be wrong. The specific traps are as follows:

Trap: Your mouth is good at talking. Be careful what you say and motorcycle soliciting (especially self-driving). Don't trust soliciting and drivers easily. You must know them first.

Don't even think about going for free: for example, you can get an amulet and give some incense money casually, or you can give some incense money casually without coercion. If you have no determination, don't go in, or you will lose money.

Photo trap of Miao costumes: It is a major feature of the ancient city to wear Miao costumes to take photos on the Fenghuang Tuojiang River, but there are also some tricks here. Before taking a photo, ask the charge and quotation of miao clothing (usually they quote 10 yuan, but they tell you that 10 yuan is very, very small, so you have to pay more, and people often kill you. )

Although Phoenix was developed earlier, it is also a mature scenic spot, which is precisely the entanglement of people who want to go. But to put it bluntly,

Which scenic spot in China is not commercialized at all?

If you come, the morning in Tuojiang can still give you a ray of quiet morning light, and Shen Congwen's former residence is still telling the world his writing stories in those years. If you don't come, these scenery can only stay in other people's mouths and your own imagination. Don't you think it's a pity
