To explain, first of all, Phoenix belongs to Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province, not Changsha. It takes more than seven hours to get to Jishou by train from Changsha, and then it takes an hour and a half to transfer by bus. You can also take a direct bus from Changsha to Jishou. It seems that the express train only takes more than 4 hours.

Phoenix is a tourist city, and its price will definitely increase on the 11th. Usually, the accommodation is about 7%, so you can live quite well. It is near the river, but if it is not near the river, it is only 4%. However, in the tourist season, it may basically double.

The time for playing varies from person to person. In fact, the ancient town itself is relatively small, which is more than enough for a day. You can go to the Miao village in the annex to play, as well as Qiliang Cave. I recommend to see the karst cave landscape, which is quite good. The ticket is about 6 yuan, but I can't remember the details.

Therefore, one day in the ancient town (including watching the performance of the Phoenix in the world), one day in Miao Village and one day in Qiliangdong. In this way, it takes about 3 to 4 days, so you can play comfortably and not be very tired.

if it costs, you can get it by about 5~8 without buying souvenirs and excluding the fare.

Eating is not expensive, so one can probably eat well in 2 yuan.

Souvenirs, it is recommended not to buy silver ornaments. It is said that many of them are fake. Buy buy native products, about 1~3 yuan

The following is a guide to play and find before

A guide to the Phoenix tourism in Xiangxi

One thousand yuan is enough. I went there in early 27 and stayed for a week, but eating, drinking and having fun was less than 5 yuan. If I didn't lose my family, it would be less than 3 yuan at all. But the food there was not very delicious, and there were too many fake Miaoyin and so on. ! ------------------------The ancient city of Fenghuang has a profound cultural heritage, and more than half of its population are Miao people. Farming culture, Chu witch culture and traditional culture permeate each other here, forming a unique regional cultural atmosphere of the ancient city. For example, in the spring, there will be an outing and spring festival in February, a Qingming Festival in March, and the biggest "April 8" festival of the Miao people in April. The market in Fenghuang township is a five-day episode, and the time varies from town to town, so it can be caught up almost every day. And all kinds of rare products with national characteristics occasionally appear. If you are lucky, you can buy one or two treasures. Miao town is also a place for Miao girls to compete for beauty. Women are dressed in colorful national costumes, and the scene is lively and beautiful. Arrange such a fair one day, I believe you will gain a lot. Therefore, traveling to Phoenix is not only to appreciate her unique natural scenery with eyes, but also to make a cultural journey with spiritual experience.

Transportation: Generally, you choose to get off at Jishou and Huaihua by train, and there are buses to Jishou and Huaihua. Huaihua to Phoenix 2-3 yuan (3 hours); Jishou South Bus Station (take a small 3 yuan/car in the city; 1 yuan to the post office) to Fenghuang 12 yuan (one and a half hours), and 15 yuan if the Spring Festival. If you are in the 8-1 yuan of Jishou Railway Station, you can get there. Cross Phoenix Bridge and enter Nanhuamen to reach Fenghuang Ancient City. Transportation in the county (green car: green taxi: 2 yuan/1.5km; Environmental protection tour bus in the city: 1 yuan/person).

The pass for the eight scenic spots in Phoenix (the Great Wall in the South, Qiliang Cave, Huangsiqiao Ancient City, boating on the Tuojiang River, Shen Congwen's former residence, Xiong Xiling's former residence, Yangjia Ancestral Temple and Dongmen Gate Tower) is 168 yuan/person. Students can enjoy a 1% discount if they buy a pass). If you don't want to see all of them, you can also play the five scenic spots in the ancient city, namely, boating on the Tuojiang River, Shen Congwen's former residence, Xiong Xiling's former residence, Yangjia Ancestral Temple and Dongmen Tower. The small package ticket is 68 yuan.

Attractions in the city: such as Shen Congwen's former residence, Xiong Xiling's former residence, Yangjia Ancestral Hall, Tuojiang River, Diaojiaolou, Hongqiao, Wanming Pagoda, etc., can completely replace cars with steps; Boating on the Tuojiang River: Take a cruise at the North Gate Pier to Shen Congwen's cemetery, and enjoy the scenery of the Tuojiang River in the middle of the river.

Wonder of Cave —— The Phoenix Bus Station in Qiliangdong (5 yuan) takes CMB (2 yuan/person), and the distant scenic spots such as the South Great Wall (45 yuan) and Huangsiqiao Ancient City (2 yuan) can be reached by CMB. Go to Nanchang City and Huangsiqiao Ancient City, take the CMB at Alaying, and 3-4 yuan to the South Great Wall (about 3 minutes); Take CMB from Nanchang City to Alaying 2 yuan (2 minutes), and then take a three-wheeled motorcycle (2 yuan) to Huangsiqiao Ancient City.

Shopping: In the ancient city, you can buy handicrafts such as batik, tie-dyeing, ox horn products, old cloth, Miao embroidery and silver ornaments. The "six-color square" on the old street is very distinctive. You can also visit the printing and dyeing craftsman (Liu Dapao), batik craftsman (Xiong Chengzao), tie-dyeing craftsman (Zhang Guiying, Wu Huahua) and brocade craftsman (Ye Shuiyun). You can feast your eyes even if you don't buy it. If you go to Miao Town Fair, you will find that the prices there are cheaper, and you will have the opportunity to spend a little money to buy good things, such as bamboo weaving and silverware. The market day of Alaying falls on the second and seventh days of the lunar calendar; Shanjiang market is the third and eighth day of the lunar calendar. Among them, the market in Allah is large; Shanjiang Town is a Miao gathering, where Miao women dressed in costumes can be seen.

Accommodation: Eating and lodging in Phoenix can be said to be good and cheap. There are many hotels and family hotels here, with good facilities and cleanliness (this website has a detailed introduction in the Travel Guide). Self-help travelers can stay in family hotels along the Tuojiang River, which are clean, hygienic and economical. Family hotels with diaojiao buildings can also enjoy the scenery of the Tuojiang River at any time (generally 2-3 yuan/person per day, which will be slightly more expensive during the Golden Week).

the food is cheap, too. Duck with Blood Paste (2-4 yuan) and fish with Chinese sauerkraut are famous dishes. Snacks include iced rice shrimp, bean jelly, fried crayfish, Miao pickles, etc., all of which are very distinctive local flavors; In summer, you can also eat the frozen dumplings here, which are sour, sweet and delicious. The "Ambassador Hotel" on the road of construction and the "Old Street Restaurant" with the sound of writers' hooves on the old street should not be missed. Although the local people's tastes are biased, due to the increasing number of tourists, they always consider the tastes of the guests when cooking, and their service is warm and thoughtful.

True feelings tips-

1. Phoenix is suitable for a person to relax or couples to travel together. There are many people with different opinions, and joining a group is the most boring!

2. Phoenix is suitable for people who like to enjoy fine taste slowly and entertain themselves. People who like bustling cities or enjoy sensory stimulation don't have to go there, and they will be disappointed.

3. The route of Fenghuang in Xiangxi, Hunan Province is suitable for enjoying pure natural scenery, original customs and human landscape. There is no need to go to the artificial construction, the ticket price is high and it is not worth seeing.
