Xiangfan people suggest: 3 days and 2 nights in Xiangfan is enough.
Staying too much is boring + a waste of money + a waste of emotions.
Recommended attractions: moat + ancient city wall + North Street (first day) Then you can eat some Xiangfan snacks on North Street. There are many spicy ones. The cost is not expensive 50/person, which is enough to eat.
Take a bus to Zaoyang and visit the hometown of Liu Xiu, the hometown of emperors. You can also eat a lot of fish by visiting other surrounding attractions (on the second day). This depends on your travel spirit. You need to look for highlights. Remember to rush back in the evening.
Xiangfan.
Go to Nanzhang Water Mirror Village, which is known as the Back Garden of Xiangfan (Day 3). This is a purely scenic spot. You can come back after visiting it.

Then arrange your return home. Of course, you can also arrange the first day on the last day.
I only recommend 2 snacks: the first one is beef noodles or tofu noodles from Xiangfan. You can add chili as you like.
The second Yicheng prawns are available at night markets in many places in Xiangfan.
It's also spicy.

I don’t recommend anything else, it really saves you money and energy.
