Additional food:

Phoenix cuisine is spicy and sour in color and has a rich taste that will make you sweat profusely. I’m also hooked. The specialties here include duck with blood cake, sour fish pickled with glutinous rice, smoked bacon, canned mushrooms, tofu in sour soup, dry-pickled pickled radish shreds, etc. Just these names are enough to make people’s mouths twitch.

*Sweet rice wine: A low-alcohol sweet wine brewed from glutinous rice. Just like the scenery of Phoenix, it starts to feel soft and sweet, and then becomes intoxicating. Remember to put it in a bamboo tube and put it in water to warm before eating.

*Miaojia Society Rice: A major feature of Fenghuang. The rice includes fresh community vegetables picked from the fields, wild onion glutinous rice, and Tujia bacon. As soon as the rice pot is opened, the aroma overflows and makes people salivate.

*Miaojia Sour Fish: It is a famous dish in Fenghuang Miao Township that is unique in the world. Wash the fish, remove the internal organs, put it into the cellar and marinate it with glutinous rice flour or corn flour, wait for about fifteen days, then take it out and eat it. It can be fried, stir-fried, or eaten raw. It has a unique taste.

*Tujia bacon: It is marinated with special spices and then smoked with cypress leaves, so it is more delicious than ordinary bacon.

*Miao family sour soup: Miao family sour soup is a traditional soup dish of the Miao family. Vegetables pickled with a special method are golden and translucent in color and can be eaten cold or made into soup. When making soup, just add some sauerkraut into the water, put in the tofu lumps, add wild onions, peppers and other condiments, boil it and it's ready to eat.

*Blood Duck: Another signature of Phoenix. Blood cake is made with duck blood and fragrant glutinous rice. It is fried and cooked together with the duck. It has a strong taste. If you can't eat spicy food, it is best to tell the store in advance to add less chili pepper.

*Ginger candy: sweet and spicy, with an attractive golden color.

Phoenix Restaurant:

Phoenix's restaurants look very simple, but even the most humble one has special skills and can make unique delicacies.

On Xinjian Road, there are stalls lined up every night, offering a variety of barbecues. Although they are very cheap, they are all delicious.

*Heiziwu Restaurant, Shuishuilou Restaurant, Louwailou Restaurant and Panchangjiang Restaurant are restaurants with views of the Tuojiang River. It is a comfortable thing to enjoy the scenery while eating.

*Ambassador Hotel: It is very famous in Phoenix. The proprietress is warm and hospitable, and the dishes are generous. Regular vegetarian dishes are 3 yuan per plate, meat dishes are 5 yuan, and special dishes are extra. Dishes such as pickled cabbage, bacon, fried pine mushrooms and other dishes are very local characteristics. A meal for four people costs more than 30 yuan. You have to go early for meals. If you are late, there will be no seats. The braised duck here is one of the signature dishes, as well as fried meat with canned mushrooms, lichen, etc. The 40 yuan stewed black-bone chicken not only has a lot of meat, but also comes with two large soup bowls.

* Boat restaurants: There are three small restaurants at the east gate, one facing the street and the other facing the river. The boss cleverly used the location to park several large boats on the riverside for tourists to dine on. It's not expensive and tastes pretty good.

*Xiangyu Hotel: The style and environment are good. Here you can taste authentic Hunan cuisine, and the price is very cheap.

*Tengfeng Rice Noodles Store: You can taste a variety of delicious rice noodles within three to five yuan.

Friendly reminder: There is no nightlife in Fenghuang Old Town, so it will be dark at night. Those who don’t want to go to bed early can go to Xincheng to eat snacks or surf the Internet. Bars and cafes belong to modern society, but opening them in such a quiet place can also set off the atmosphere and pass the time at night, but I really don’t want too many.

Fenghuang calls going to the market "going to the market".
