His wife was in her hometown of Xinhuang Dong Autonomous County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province, so she went to a small town to stay and rest, and enjoyed the scenery and humanities.

This is a small mountainous city with a history of thousands of years. It is located in western Hunan and adjacent to southeastern Guizhou. The county has a population of about 70,000, of which the Dong nationality accounts for more than 80%. Rich historical and cultural characteristics, it was ruled by Yelang State during the Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Tang Dynasty, a county was built here in Xinglong, commonly known as Lao Huangcheng. New China moved its site to Longxikou and called Xinhuang City. Today there is a new site, using Xinhuang City. Dong culture and Yelang culture have a profound heritage. Xinhuang is the birthplace of the world's intangible cultural heritage "Dong Song". Dancing water passes through the city, and the ancient city takes on a new look.


D1. In the afternoon, take the bus to the subway and intercity train, and arrive at Xianyang Airport from your home in Xi'an for 16 yuan. There is no direct transportation method in Xi'an to Xinhuang, and you need to transfer from around the city. Check that recent air tickets are very favorable. The total cost of air tickets from Xi'an to Guiyang is 180 yuan (including airport construction fee of 50 yuan and insurance premium of 40 yuan). Since it was a night flight, after arriving at Longdongbao Airport in Guiyang, I stayed at a nearby hotel for one night at the original price of 86 yuan, and I charged 50 yuan for participating in preferential activities.

D2. The fare for taking a bus from the airport to the high-speed rail station in the morning is 20 yuan, and the ticket for the high-speed rail from Guiyang North to Xinhuang West is 131 yuan. After arrival, take the bus for 3 yuan to get home.

Looking at the changes in the small city along the way, new scenery emerged one after another. Paddy fields are lush, high-rise buildings are lined up, and all kinds of scenery in urban and rural areas are in sight.



D3~6. Exercise by the Wushui River in the morning, stroll and enjoy the scenery of the small city, and visit the Urban area and riverside. The sisters of the outdoor yoga team set up by my wife are really enthusiastic. They invite them to visit the Drunken Flower Room scenery belt, mountains and rivers, flowers, food, and folk customs, all in the suburban villas and Dong villages. They are very happy to have dinner and entertainment together.



D7~17. Morning exercise and dog walking are still in the morning. Wushui River is indeed a natural swimming pool and fishing park with clear clear water. Take a walk along the river every day to enjoy the scenery along the shore. It took more than an hour to walk along the embankment and circle the Xinhuang Urban area (a small embankment collapsed near the end and the walk was not completed successfully). The scenery is pleasant, the air is fresh, and life is peaceful.

When I got home, I saw the green mountains outside the window far away, and the clear water was in front of me. Deep in the sky and clear clouds, Xinhuang Dong Township has a home."

I went again in the afternoon. We were also her first customers at Xinhuang's first Sichuan hot pot restaurant that I had eaten the year before last, so the boss still gave me a big discount; the taste was good, and the service and environment were also good.



D18~20, morning exercise and dog walking in the morning, full of leisure time.

It can be said: "In early summer, the setting sun is gradually fading away, and the old dog is lazy. I read half a book to praise Yelang State on the side of flowing water."

For dinner, we had dinner with a family of three from Xinhuang Yoga Master and Hunan Province Yoga Champion Couple, our children. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.



D21~23. Living in a small Dong township city with "half mountains and rivers and half city" is very comfortable. In the slow life of the small town, people are leisurely and contented, their material and cultural life is also rich, and the happiness index has increased. As night comes, the lights are bright, accompanied by the river water, it is really beautiful and petite.

When encountering the once-in-a-century flood peak passing by, it also whistled by, and the small city was safe and sound.

Cherish all these and express gratitude to the heroes who fought and sacrificed for them. Look back at history and cherish happiness. Remembering the martyrs and creating new achievements.

After lunch, we came to Longxikou Park, the best feng shui treasure site in Xinhuang City. This was left to the martyrs by the people of the small town. Let's look at the happiness and well-being of the people they shed blood and protected! Seeing this, I believe the heroes and heroes must be very pleased.



D24. Living for nearly a month makes people feel happy and fall in love with this small town more and more. I really couldn't bear to leave. Looking at the iron tree blooming, I knew it was time to leave...

Despite the "thousands of helplessness and reluctance", Tang Priest still went west and returned to Chang 'an. With all the hardships and friendship along the way, and with the true scriptures given by the Buddha, he completed his mission. "Journey to the West" is like a life story, come on! Degree and indiscretion are all based on personal beliefs.



D25~27. Our friends know that we are leaving the small city and returning to Xi'an. Friends hosted banquets again and again to retain and bid farewell.

We also arranged a picking of bayberry in the countryside. The trees were full of delicate, red bayberry, which was very beautiful, sweet and sour. Standing on the tree, picking and eating, it is even more unique. The surrounding area is full of bayberry forests, green mountains and forests, lush rice fields, and simple and enthusiastic villagers. It is a perfect combination of man and nature!



D28. Retentions and send-offs from friends. I had to leave because of something. It is still possible to book the return ticket in advance through Ctrip. The ticket from Huaihua Zhijiang to Xi'an is 337 yuan, the airport construction fee is 50 yuan, and the insurance premium is 40 yuan. The total one-way fee is 427 yuan.

At noon, my friend drove an hour to the airport to see him off. Due to the epidemic, he needed to wear a mask, scan the health code and measure his body temperature. After that, he flew back to Xi'an smoothly. Take the airport bus for 25 yuan and transfer to a taxi for 10 yuan to return to my long-lost home.



The trip was easy and pleasant. The average cost for transportation, accommodation, etc. was about 862 yuan per person, and other expenses were about 1400 yuan, making a total of about 2262 yuan per person. Very worth it!
