The idea of going to Xiangxi has a long history, and it finally took nine days to make it. Due to inconvenient transportation and difficult conditions, it was natural to set out alone and travel alone for the first time.

At 8 a.m., Beijing flew to Changsha for a day. We set off before five o'clock and took the airport bus. It rained lightly in the sky. Fortunately, the plane was not delayed. When we got off the plane, we turned around maglev and subway, and we were closer to our classmates 'home. My classmate's home is located at Furong Square Station on the subway, and the location is excellent. Therefore, we walked around the old streets in the center of Changsha City, went to Tianxin Pavilion, and in the afternoon arrived at the head of Juzizhou, where I was thinking about it. After all, I also memorized Mao Zedong's poems. However, there were too many attractions that day, so I only bought a ticket to visit the Harpsichord Museum. Because it is related to the major, I think it is not bad, and there is an explanation throughout the process. In the evening, I went to Taiping Street, but regretted that I didn't visit Jia Yi's former residence. I ate Changsha's specialty stinky tofu, pork feet, sausage, bean pudding, etc. More than 20,000 steps a day.

Early the next morning, I struggled with bed for a long time before getting up. The subway went to Changzhutan Bus Station near Changsha Railway Station, and caught the earliest bus from Changsha to Jishou in five minutes. Arrive in Jishou five hours later and stay opposite the train and bus stations for seven days. Take bus No. 1 to Qianzhou Ancient City in the afternoon. There would be explanations, but I didn't follow. I wandered in the ancient city of Qianzhou until evening, mainly having a performance, which lasted about 40 to 50 minutes. Then there were many former residences. The ancient city of Qianzhou was relatively small, and there were basically inns on the other side of the river with no attractions.

On the third day, I didn't go out until after ten o'clock. I took the Chinese bus bound for Dehang next to the train station and arrived at Dehang 40 minutes later. Unfortunately, the last performance in the morning just ended. Passing through the so-called Miao Village, we are actually heading into the mountains from a market selling handicrafts and specialties. We are Yudai Waterfall. It has entered the dry season, so the water is not large. Because one person has nothing to eat, he bought a few kiwis in Miao Village. The average is one yuan each, which is very soft and sweet. The afternoon performance is simply a clothing display and there is not much dry goods. I took the China-bus back to Jishou City. It is a pity that I didn't see the spectacular Aizhai Bridge along the way.

Fenghuang ancient city

After Fenghuang Ancient City canceled tickets to enter the city, it bought a pass for tourist attractions, covering boats, explanations, and swiping ID cards at every attraction. It was still very advanced. It's a pity that I didn't catch the first explanation group at 9:30, which resulted in me missing most of the performances. There were a total of five people in our explanation group. The guide sister was very nice and invited her to go shopping with her. At night, I went to the Biancheng performance alone. I bought the tickets at the ticket office the night before. The real scene was really spectacular and really cold. After returning to the ancient city, we drank together, ate firewood delicious food together, and had a boy. He was comfortable and so crazy with new friends was also an unexpected joy during this trip.

In the evening, I made an appointment with my friends to eat firewood food. It is really the only specialty food in Fenghuang Ancient City. It is quite popular. It has been a time-honored specialty food restaurant for decades. While eating firewood food, I drink the specialty rice wine from the owner's house and roasting the fire in the stove. It is really comfortable. The store is clean and tidy, and the decoration is quite distinctive and exquisite. It is the only gourmet restaurant recommended by Fenghuang Ancient City!

On the last day, I got up and packed up and checked out. Then I finally had blood cake duck with the girl I met yesterday. In the afternoon, I bought a specialty and sent a postcard. I took the latest bus to Tongren. It took 40 minutes to drive there at five o'clock. It was really too early. Unfortunately, the plane was delayed for an hour and a half and landed in Beijing at 1:30 in the morning. I arrived home at 3:30, and my first trip alone came to an end.

To sum up, I personally feel that it is safer for girls to travel alone and take public transportation than taking taxis. Student ID cards are really a powerful tool for poor travel! Save too much ticket money. The biggest drawback of traveling alone is that you can't taste local specialties. In Hunan, you can only eat rice noodles in one meal, feeling like you have eaten all the rice noodles in your life.

But I still think: traveling alone is very cool! Very cool!

I will definitely go to Xiangxi in two years, and next time I will go to Liye, Chadong and Furong Town.
