Route: Take the train from Shenzhen West to Jishou (1 1: 20 and arrive at 5: 34), then take the bus from Jishou to Fenghuang, and take the bus directly to Fenghuang at Jishou Railway Station. There are many buses to Phoenix outside Jishou Railway Station, all of which are tourist routes, at any time, even at 3 am, and go directly to Hongqiao. However, the cars here are usually full of passengers, so be careful not to pay attention to their accommodation and promotion.
The travel company's route is absolutely negotiable. Last time, 200 yuan went to three places (Miao Village with sinkholes, Feishui Waterfall far away, and I can't remember one), but the others didn't go to Feishui Waterfall, and it cost 100/ person.
Stay at Jinlang Hotel at the end of Tuojiang River (beside Hongqiao). In 2009, it was three rooms in 80 yuan. In fact, I suggest living on both sides of Giotto, near Hongqiao, and a little away from the busiest place. The price is much cheaper!
It should also be noted that everything can be bargained and slashed, even if it is going to a restaurant for dinner. If you think the menu is too expensive, you can either ask him to bring out another menu, or simply say it is too expensive and you can bargain. But I suggest leaving directly when you meet such a store. Although the price of the store I ate last time dropped, it was terrible! There is another one in a busy area, with moderate price and great taste. It is better to go to a crowded shop!
