First, the secret of saving money-Accommodation

There are many hotels in Phoenix, and the prices vary according to the location and the grade of the hotel. In order to give you a clear idea, I divide the hotels in Phoenix into four types: big hotels in the county, small inns in the county, Linjiang Inn on the Tuojiang River and non-Linjiang Inn on the Tuojiang River. Let me talk about them one by one:

Big hotels and inns in the county: According to my observation, most of the people who live in this kind are in groups, and young tourists are mainly over 3 years old. The price of big hotels is expensive, and the house price is basically hundreds. The inn is cheap, just a few tens of dollars. If you travel by yourself, it is not recommended to live in the county seat.

Linjiang Inn by Tuojiang River: Personally, I recommend staying at Linjiang Inn by Tuojiang River, especially for couples. Open the window, you can see the clear Tuojiang River, blowing the river wind and enjoying the beautiful night view of the ancient city. This feeling is absolutely great and romantic. However, the price of Linjiang house is not cheap, and the house prices are basically hundreds. And the closer to Hongqiao, the more expensive it is, ranging from 15-2, and it will be slightly cheaper in the off-season. Personally, I recommend living in the upper reaches (Hongqiao is downstream) and near Jinshui Bridge in the upper reaches. There are also many hotels here, and the prices are relatively cheaper. There are also many rooms facing the river, and the prices are around 1 yuan. Therefore, if you want to experience the feeling of the house facing the river and save money, you can live next to Jinshui Bridge. Here, I usually talk to the boss about the price after grinding it.

Non-Linjiang Inn near the Tuojiang River: There are too many of them. Just go in from any alley next to the Tuojiang River. The price is not expensive, ranging from 2 to 8 yuan.

There is another hotel to talk about separately. Hehe, it is the Phoenix International Youth Hostel. Travelers generally know this kind of youth hostel, which has a single room and gets on and off the bed. It is very simple, but the price is cheap. There is also one in Fenghuang, which is located next to the east gate of Hongqiao, the ancient city of Fenghuang (No.11 Shawan). Turn right under Hongqiao and go down the river to the tower for 5 meters. There are many foreign tourists staying in it. Perhaps this is the only hotel in Phoenix that can book rooms around the world through the Internet! Only 2 yuan is required for each bed.

second, one of the tips to save money-eating articles

There are many snacks in Fenghuang Street and restaurants near Tuojiang River. But the service, taste and price can't afford it. Generally speaking, when eating in local restaurants, we should pay attention to several issues:

First, don't go to very unpopular restaurants, which are basically not very good.

second: if the menu handed by the waiter is not marked with price, then be careful. This kind of restaurant usually has two vegetable prices, one for locals and one for foreigners. Here's a trick to bargain. If the food is expensive after checking out, tell the boss that he works in Phoenix and often comes to eat. This time, he brings a friend to eat. Let him give you a firm price, and the natural price will give you a discount.

after knowing these tips, I would like to recommend some good hotels for you.

(1) Junzi Restaurant, located diagonally opposite the People's Hospital of Fenghuang County, is also a home-cooked dish frequented by local people. The food there is cheap and good. It is cheap and delicious, and the taste is authentic. A dozen people can order a table of dishes for about 1 yuan to eat until they die! There is a dish called tea tree mushroom fried meat, which is very delicious, about 15 yuan each, a big one. Then there is Nostoc commune, which is called Shaluo mushroom in our local dialect. Of course, the most important and necessary dish is Xiangxi bacon, which can be said to be a must-eat dish for Xiangxi people in the New Year.

(2) Ambassador Hotel, the name of which was inscribed by an old gentleman in Huang Yongyu, is quite distinctive in Fenghuang County.

There are many delicious snacks in Phoenix, such as Baba with oil fragrance, Baba with wormwood, tofu pudding and barbecue. These are small things, and the prices are not much more expensive. I won't say much. Let's just say a rough price: four yuan for oil-scented Baba, one yuan for wormwood Baba and three yuan for a bowl of tofu pudding. Focus on barbecue:

Friends who like barbecue have come to the right place. Phoenix has two blocks of barbecues. One is from Hongqiao to Armed Forces Street, which is mainly eaten by tourists. It is close to the ancient city and has a large passenger flow. The other one is twice as big as Hongqiao. On Xinma Road, almost all the local people in Phoenix are eating. I suggest that friends who want to eat barbecue take a taxi to Xinma Road and try the local barbecue night market in Phoenix. The scale of this midnight snack stall market has never even been seen in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province! The best food there is the roast beef skewers. There are beef, beef tendon, butter, bezoar throat, beef tendon, etc., all of which are sold by the handfuls. Remember that they are five yuan each. And the price here is cheaper than the barbecue in Hongqiao!

If you want to eat western food, you can have it, at Jinshui Bridge in Jinjiayuan. An Englishman owns an Italian pizza restaurant! The pizzas in this restaurant are all made on the spot, which feels much better than those in Pizza Hut. It is said that the cheese in the restaurant is imported from Australia, so it is different from other junk pizzas, and the price ranges from 38 to 48. The environment there is very exotic, and the design and decoration are all done by the boss himself.

Romantic couples and friends strongly recommend going there to eat pizza, listen to music, have a cup of authentic Italian coffee and watch the Tuojiang River through the curtains at night. It feels really great! Students and friends who want to practice oral English can also go there, order a cup of coffee, sit down and chat with the boss about the history of Phoenix and local stories. The Italian coffees in this shop are 15 yuan, hot chocolate 15 yuan and juice cola 6 yuan. Spaghetti seems to range from 3 to 4!

third, the secret of saving money-travel articles

I don't think there are too many things to pay attention to. Phoenix local drivers basically won't rip off passengers, so everyone just takes a taxi to hit the meter. The starting price of local taxis is very cheap, starting at three yuan. There are three bus stops in Phoenix * * *: North Bus Station, which mainly runs buses to Jishou, Changsha, Zhangjiajie and Changde. A Tuqiaolong station, this station has buses to all Miao villages. Friends who want to go to Miao villages don't have to buy tickets in the ancient city, just take the bus here. The last stop is in the Folk Garden, which is a bus dedicated to Huaihua.

just one thing, if you want to visit Qiliangdong Scenic Area, you don't have to go to the bus station to take a bus, because that place is less than five kilometers away from the ancient city, and no bus is willing to pick you up. It's usually 2 yuan to take a taxi. There are also private cars soliciting customers, as long as they are in 2 yuan, just get on the bus.

fourth, the secret of saving money-buying ginger candy

Ginger candy shops in Fenghuang ancient city can be seen everywhere, with five steps for a small shop and ten steps for a big shop. From the number of ginger candy shops, it is not difficult to see how high the profit of this small phoenix specialty is. There are a large number of stores, and there are several famous ones, and the prices are also uneven. The ginger candy in many ginger candy stores is very cheap, but the first taste is not good, and the taste of ginger is not strong. Second, in order to reduce costs, merchants add pigments and spicy ingredients, so it is best not to buy this kind. Phoenix's ginger candy, personally recommend Liu's ginger candy in the ancient city, which is a century-old shop and has been on TV many times. It tastes very authentic.

There is also a need to pay attention to the price of ginger candy. Let me give you a little hint here! Under normal circumstances, you can buy it at 5-6% off the boss's offer.

five, the secret of saving money-buying Xiangxi bacon

Another famous specialty that must be bought is Phoenix bacon. The production of Xiangxi bacon has its own unique technology, and the authentic bacon can only be shaped after a long time of smoking and baking. Nowadays, many businesses rely on tourists who don't understand bacon, simply blackening the meat and selling it hastily. It tastes like bacon at all. This kind of discrimination is easy. Cut the bacon and look at the cross section of the bacon. If it is dark outside, but the meat inside is red and tender, it is generally processed quickly and not delicious. I once bought bacon from a shop next to Shen Congwen's former residence, and it was ok. The name of the shop was Songguifang. According to the boss, they also cooperated with the Food Research Institute of Jishou University, and more products will be launched later. Go around again next time when you are free.

As for buying raw bacon, many shops often bid 35-45 yuan a catty. Generally, you can return it to 3 yuan, but the exact amount depends on your personal level.

Sixth, the secret of saving money-buying Miao Yin

Another unique thing in the ancient city is Miaojia silverware store. There are roughly two kinds of places selling silverware in Phoenix. One is a specialized silverware shop, which is relatively expensive. In addition, there are Miao aunts who set up stalls in all corners of the ancient city. The silverware they sell is basically fake. If they buy it, they will cut it directly from 2 to 3 fold.

The silverware in the silverware store in the ancient city is expensive, but it is beautifully made. Most of it is 99 silver, and the asking price is between 1-1 gram of 15 yuan. You can make a counter-offer and ask the boss to make a discount of 8-9. If you want to buy better silver ornaments, it is recommended to go to the big shops in the ancient city to buy them. The quality and craftsmanship are very good.

VII. Tips for saving money-Guide to buying tickets for bonfire parties

Please pay special attention. The best way to save money is bonfire parties. Haha, everyone will understand this thing after reading it. Don't tell it around. This is also a hidden rule. As soon as you get off the bus, someone will take you to the bonfire party. Phoenix has two places for bonfire parties, one in Jinshui Village and the other in Tianxia Phoenix Hotel! To tell you the truth, I've seen it, and it's really ok and worth seeing. But the price is not flattering, the price tag is 12 and 2, hehe! It's more expensive than watching a movie premiere. In fact, I tell you that most of them will be taken away by tour guides, and the reserve price of all bonfire parties is about 3 yuan. Go to the ticket window to buy tickets yourself, just tell the ticket seller that it is a local friend who told you that this is the price. It doesn't matter if you can't cut it down, just find a local aunt who soliciting and let them buy it for you. You can give the aunt who bought the ticket for you 2 yuan for hard work! Hehe, it saved you a lot of money at once. You can buy a silver necklace if you keep it.

Eight, the secret of saving money-going to Miao Village

Another one is Miao Village. If you buy tickets to Miao Village, you will get dozens or hundreds of tickets. I suggest you go to the station outside Tianxia Phoenix Hotel or Tuqiaolong Station by yourself, spend ten yuan by car to any Miao village you want to go to, go directly to see the old buildings of the Miao people and spend money to eat their specialty at Miao people's home. It doesn't cost much at all. Buying a ticket is different from having a shuttle bus. Dance for you with some lame actors. This is definitely useful!

IX. Tips for saving money-Bonfire party and boating on the Tuojiang River

There is a jade belt in the beautiful ancient city of Fenghuang, and boating on the Tuojiang River can fully feel the beauty of the ancient city of Fenghuang. It's a great pity not to go boating on the Tuojiang River! However, taking the cruise ship of Gucheng Company is really expensive and scary. How can we see the scenery cheaply and have fun? Hehe, let's take a farm boat! You can take bus No.3 and get off at Baoziwan Station. There are many farm boats waiting for you by the river. The price is 2 yuan per person, but you can bargain, 15 yuan or 1 yuan, depending on your ability. You can have a water fight with other friends on the boat while watching the scenery by boat. It's absolutely fun and exciting! Don't let you regret taking a boat once, but be careful to get wet!

ten, the secret of saving money-the secret of saving trouble

In fact, this secret is not about saving money, but saving you trouble. In the ancient city, there are big sisters and aunts soliciting customers all over the floor. When they meet people, they ask, are you going to Miao Village? Watch the bonfire party? By boat or not? Have you eaten? It will be a bit confusing, and here I once again offer my housekeeping tips. Reject them in a word. "We just went. I won't go again. "Ha ha, this sentence seems simple. In fact, it is very useful, and it is a valuable experience I have summed up in my years of travel. Think about it. If you answer that I won't go, or don't want to go, people will definitely feel that there is still room for discussion and will chase after you. Once you say "I have been there", you will often not pester you again! Ha ha

In a word, although there are some little tricks when traveling in Phoenix, on the whole, there is nothing to worry about, and it will definitely not affect your travel mood. The province saves money and should spend the money!

That Linjiang Inn can be cheaper and can be reduced to about 7.

It is recommended to live in the river (there is not a tower there ... go down the tower.)

I hope my article can be a reference for your travel plan!
