Instead, you should prepare more clothes. At the end of October, the weather in Hunan is changeable, which may be very hot or very cold. Phoenix is located in the west of Hunan Province, where the temperature will be 2-4 degrees lower than that in Changsha. It is suggested that "take enough dry food and warm clothes" to make adequate preparations and take care of your other half.
Objectively speaking, my relationship with my boyfriend was born in Phoenix, so Phoenix is not only a tourist attraction for both of us, but also a witness of our love. So I may have some subjective things that will affect you. So I'm just here to introduce you from my point of view, hoping you can learn from it.
If it's your first time to Phoenix, I'd like to congratulate you. Because you chose a very pleasant place at once. I spend a week in Phoenix with my boyfriend every year, and the approximate expenses include a round-trip ticket from Phoenix to Changsha, which is about 1000.
Since you want to know about Phoenix, I will take some time to give you a detailed introduction on how to arrange delicious accommodation in Phoenix! Of course, these are all based on my own supervisor experience, and you can learn from them.
1. If you are visiting for the first time, as expected, several middle-aged women will come to ask if you have a place to stay. They are usually responsible for attracting guests, but you don't have to be too wary of them. They are still very simple. You can follow them to see the house until you are satisfied with the environment and the price. The diaojiao buildings along the river are generally 40-60 yuan, while other houses are about 20-30 yuan for one night, and the environmental sanitation is not bad.
I often live in Wutong Passenger Station next to Yangjia Ancestral Temple. The environment on the third floor is good, and it is all decorated with wood. It is very beautiful. I'll give you the phone number 0743-322 6 187, 20 yuan/person (the cost is high in May and November, and there are many people, so it's best to go in the off-season).
2. For diet, Phoenix is mainly acid, where there is a saying: "If you don't eat acid for three days, you will stumble when you walk". If you can afford it, you can often eat some of his specialties: fish with Chinese sauerkraut, duck with blood, and social food. The first two are mainly hot pot, which tastes delicious, probably around 35 yuan. Social meals can be eaten in the big food stalls, and 2 yuan has one.
3. Special snacks:
Ginger candy, you can see the process of making ginger candy on the street, which is very interesting. Yang's ginger candy is more authentic and not expensive, which can be said to be 8- 10 yuan a catty.
Twisted candy, which is only available in recent years, is mainly made of rice flour. It is called because it is twisted in the middle. It tastes special, but the asking price is very expensive. You can reduce the price to 8- 10 yuan, which is almost the same.
Cold powder, chilly and sweet, I like it very much, about 1 yuan.
Sour radish, in fact, the sour radish in the whole Xiangxi area is not bad, one or two dollars.
Dried kiwifruit, kiwifruit is a local specialty, which is usually harvested in autumn. The local people buy and sell it for a few cents a catty, and sell it to guests for about two yuan. The derivative products developed in kiwifruit dry market in recent years have a good taste, and the price is more than ten yuan a catty.
4. There are several main scenic spots in the city, mainly the former residences of celebrities and ancestral temples. If you want to visit them, you must buy a pass, because the 50-year income right of these scenic spots has been sold to Huanglongdong Co., Ltd. by Fenghuang County Government for 833 million yuan to monopolize the operation, and the pass price is around 80 yuan. Although I have been there for many years, I have never been to any of these scenic spots. Hehe, I am mainly interested in the combination of human and natural landscapes there, but it is up to you to decide whether to see them.
5. You can visit Shen Congwen's cemetery. There is a grave keeper who has been guarding the old man's cemetery there since more than eight years. He knows all about Mr. Shen's life and family affairs. If you can take care of the translator, chatting with him can still enhance your understanding of Mr. Shen Congwen.
You can go boating from Shen Congwen's cemetery. The price is not expensive. You can go all the way to Peach Blossom Island and then return. The time is about 40 minutes. The price is about 10 yuan/person. You can bargain if there are many people.
Peach Blossom Island is a small island. I visited it several times and didn't see peach blossoms. I was contracted by a boss in Zhejiang for redevelopment two years ago. I haven't seen how it is now. Maybe there are too many places to spend money.
6. If you are a person who can get up early, I suggest you save some and go to the rock jumping in Phoenix. Standing on the jumping rock, watching the clear Tuojiang River water slowly flow to the distance, the diaojiao building near the distance is sometimes clear and sometimes blurred under the fog of Nanhuashan Mountain, which gives people the feeling of being in a fairyland. Cuckoo will sing the most beautiful morning song for you ... Of course, anyone's mood is different, so you can feel it yourself.
7. In the evening, you can attend a bonfire party, where there are performances of going up the mountain and going down the sea of fire, Miao customs, songs and dances are readily available, the fare is 35/ person, and you can also bargain.
8. If you sell things from small stalls in Phoenix, you should pay attention. Aunties there charge a high price. A pair of earrings costs more than 10 yuan. Generally, giving them 2-4 yuan is almost the same, but it should be divided into lots. It will not be sold to you cheaply in crowded places, but in streets with few people.
9. Silver ornaments: It is a must for visitors to Phoenix. Nowadays, the silver ornaments bought by silver ornaments shops in Phoenix are very expensive, about 8 yuan/gram, which is the same as that in other cities. There are also silver ornaments on the stalls, of course, the goods and prices are not the same! Some of the silver ornaments there are made of iron, some of them are made of alloy, and they may all contain a little silver.
I'll teach you a few ways to identify silver ornaments: (I learned it from local people, not necessarily scientific)
First, jewelry with a lot of silver content, when dropped on the ground, will not make a loud noise and there will be no response. This point needs to be compared to distinguish.
Second, silver ornaments are very soft and malleable. You can feel it by bending your hand below.
Third, jewelry containing silver can draw gray marks on the lime wall.
I just spent a few days in Phoenix with my family the other day. Now Fenghuang is repairing the sewer pipe. If you look at the Tuojiang River, the scenery may have a little impact. However, the sewer can make the water in Tuojiang River clearer and improve the water quality.
Having said that, I have only one purpose, that is, I hope you can like Phoenix like me and have a perfect trip!
Finally, I wish you a happy trip! If you have any questions, you can email me.
