This ancient city has beautiful scenery. There are stone street, ancient pagodas and ancient courtyards in Ming and Qing dynasties in the city. Outside the city, the Tuojiang River winds, the water is clear, the paddles are swaying, and the folk songs are answered. What a quiet and serene town scenery.
The main attractions of Fenghuang Ancient City are: boating on the Tuojiang River, enjoying Miaojia Diaojiao Building along the river, Shen Congwen's former residence, Xiong Xiling's former residence, Yangjia Ancestral Temple, Dongmen Tower, Hongqiao Storm Building, Wanshou Palace, Chongde Hall and Ancient City Museum. Shen Congwen once described Phoenix like this: "If you look for it on an old map a hundred years ago, you can find a small spot called Zheng 'an in a very remote corner of northern Guizhou, eastern Sichuan and western Hunan. Like other small spots, there should actually be a city where three or five thousand people live ... "This is the mysterious ancient city of Phoenix. The song "Border Town" by Shen Congwen painted his hometown picturesque, dreamy and lyrical, and also pushed this quiet and profound town to the whole world. Huang Yongyu, a self-proclaimed "unruly" master of calligraphy and painting, traveled all over the world, but stubbornly wrote his deep homesickness with an ingenious "Cuilou". So in Phoenix, because of your understanding of politicians, you can go to Wenxing Street to see Xiong Xiling's former residence; Because of the admiration for literary masters, you can go to Zhongying Street to see Shen Congwen's former residence and listen to Shen Congwen's cemetery on Taoshan Mountain. Because of the fascination with famous artists, you can go and see the "Duocui Building" restored by Mr. Huang Yongyu.
How to visit Fenghuang ancient city
1
The ancient city of Fenghuang is neither too big nor too small. It takes an hour to visit the ancient city. The first thing to do when you arrive in the ancient city is to find a favorite hotel to stay in. There are many hotels in the city. You can enjoy the scenery of Tuojiang River by opening the window. If it's too expensive, you can find a youth hostel outside the city. It's convenient to get in and out of the ancient city without extra charge.

Get up at 6: 00-7: 00 in the morning, stroll in the ultra-quiet alleys of the ancient city and breathe the ultra-fresh air.

During the day, sitting lazily in a small shop, drinking green tea or coffee, basking in the warm sun, taking stock of stocks and watching the scenery of the ancient city while playing cards, feels very comfortable.

If the ancient city of Fenghuang is like a quiet lady during the day, then the ancient town at night is a Cambodian girl full of wildness. There are a large number of bars in the ancient town, but the scale is not large, but there is a local style that combines Chinese and western styles. All kinds of creative graffiti and personalized ornaments are dazzling. Looking from the window of the diaojiao building, there is a feeling of paradise, as if the noise of those cities has nothing to do with them, and any negative emotions can be infected by the simplicity and happiness here.

The whole Phoenix is a bar, ambiguous, chaotic, messy and corrupt. Those avant-garde bars are either hidden in the market or exposed by the river, which is in harmony with the primitive simplicity and backwardness of the ancient town. As for the special significance of the ancient city of Fenghuang, the bar is to let many people who have fled the city "leave their homes".

There are thousands of small shops in Phoenix, so we have to spend a day going door to door. It turns out that traveling and shopping in Fenghuang ancient city is also a kind of enjoyment. The ancient city is a mess, and people who go for the first time will definitely get lost. In case you get lost, you can look at the signs on the road. Although it points out the general direction, it is still easy to get lost, hehe.

Fenghuang special snacks
Speaking of food, I have to mention several special foods of Phoenix. In the ancient city, you can taste spicy and delicious blood duck (which can be spicy, medium spicy or slightly spicy), Camus vegetable tofu, sour and hot glutinous rice, Xiangxi rice noodles, fried bacon with bracken in the next year, tofu cooked in sour soup, Xiangxi Phoenix ginger sugar, Xiangxi rice cake, special homemade fruit wine and so on. A series of special foods that reflect local customs make people's index fingers move just looking at them. Hongqiao is the characteristic scenic spot of Phoenix and the middle zone. With Hongqiao as the dividing line, restaurants, bars and stalls with their own characteristics in the southeast and northwest.
