In order to allow the majority of travel friends to better visit Zhangjiajie and Phoenix, I have collected a lot of information on the Internet and in reality, and hereby present it to enjoy travel friends!

Zhangjiajie Part
1. How to go to the scenic area after arriving in Zhangjiajie
Railway Station:
Once you get off the train, you first have to descend a steep staircase to reach the parking lot. When you go down the stairs, there will be many people in uniform or not who will recommend you a few days of tours. Ignore them at this time. Once you deliberately ask a few questions, you will be surrounded by enthusiastic mother-in-law and wild horses.
You should go straight to the main square on the left side of the exit.
There are buses to the city in the square. Bus No. 1, No. 2 and No. 7 is 1 yuan per person (2 yuan from 22:00 to 06:00), all of which go to the city. After bus No. 2 enters the city, it can take you to the bus station and transfer to the BUS to the scenic spot; if you want to go to the bus station and take a bus to the scenic spot on Road No. 1 and No. 7, remember to get off at the department store.

After arriving at the bus station, you go directly to the exit of the bus station to catch the bus to the scenic spot. There are many buses there and leave every 10 minutes. It is 8 yuan to go to Forest Park and 8 yuan to Wulingyuan. It's 10 yuan to go to Tianzi Mountain.
When you get off the plane, there is a No. 3 bus from the airport to the city, which costs 1 yuan per person. If you can't wait for the bus, take a taxi between 15 yuan and 30 yuan, depending on your bargaining ability.

2. How to play in the city
First point: About playing
The urban area of Zhangjiajie is relatively small, so taxi fares are very cheap. If you are lazy, I suggest you take a taxi all the way to the place you want to go in the urban area. The starting price is 3 yuan, free for two kilometers, and then 50 cents a jump. The farthest straight-line journey from the east of the city to the west of the city is only 10 yuan.
Of course, if you want to save money, you should still take a noodle ride, the blue one, for 1 yuan per person, wherever you want. There are also buses, which cost 1 yuan in the city, and No. 10 is the city ring road, which is very convenient to the Snail Station.
The first place worth visiting in the urban area is the Tujia Style Garden. The No. 10 bus passes through the city ring road, which is very convenient. The Tujia Customs Garden contains ethnic minority buildings and customs. It is worth visiting. Admission is 60 yuan.
In addition, one place worth visiting in the city is a place called Xiuhua Mountain Pavilion. There is nothing local drivers don't know about it. Anyone will take you there for a dollar ride. It contains pure Miao and Tujia folk customs, as well as some collections that are more eye-opening. Tickets are very cheap, 30 yuan a ticket.

Another place worth visiting is Baiyang Ancient Temple, also known as Puguang Zen Temple. Locals usually call it the latter name. Take buses No. 1 and 7 from the railway station and get off directly in front of the temple. Tickets are 20.

The last recommended place to go in the city is one mountain and one garden. The mountain is a martyrs 'cemetery. It takes a while to climb, and it's not very tiring. You can climb to the top of the mountain in 10 to 20 minutes to have a panoramic view of the small city of Zhangjiajie, and you don't want to come here. At dusk, you can climb while you are walking and strolling around. It's just an exercise.
The other park is Dayongqiao Park. It is a very good place to rest. It is free. It is also a good place for local people to rest after meals. It is relatively large and you can see the majestic Tianmen Mountain, which is where planes pass through the cave. There will be a large musical fountain performance starting from 7 pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The scenery is very nice!
Second point about eating
What most travelers like when they go out is to taste the local flavors and snacks. I believe that travelers also like this the most.
There are many delicious places in Zhangjiajie City
The first recommendation is Zhangjiajie's specialty: Sanxia Pot.
Sanxia pot is actually a convenient hot pot. The most local specialty is dry pot, which is a hot pot that is stewed without soup. I think the best place to cook is near the Fengwan Bridge."Master Hu cooks three times". Each serving costs 10 yuan, and one serving is enough to eat one and a half people. Therefore, the most affordable and economical thing for two or three people is the amount of.20 yuan. The recommended dishes are dry-stir-fried intestines and dry-whip walnut meat. The two can be stewed in the same pot. The taste is great! While eating, order a sour radish. It's crispy, sour and drooling! Bus No. 10 can reach it. One yuan for a seat in Zhangjiajie City
Secondly, I recommend you eat fish. There are two places to eat fish. One is the place where fish heads are eaten, called Laowu Fish Head. There is a place called Sanjiaoping in the urban area. You will know it when you get to Sanjiaoping. The specialty of his family is that when stewing fish heads, they use local cherry tomatoes, the small ones, so they are very fresh against the soup. Bus No. 10 can reach it.
.
There is also a place to eat pickled cabbage and beef, called Yinmandou, which is more difficult to find. Enter the alley at the Hangyuan, adjacent to the pedestrian street. The building at the street corner is a large Internet cafe called Songzhumei. It is in beige white. The building on the other side is the three-story building on the pedestrian street. Go in and walk for a while. It is located in the middle of this alley with a sign. His family is famous for its pickled cabbage beef, and his mutton is very well cooked. The mutton gives the taste of pork. I don't know if it is a praise or a criticism to him?

Of course, you may not be interested in these and just want to fill your fill, so I recommend a few restaurants to you, which are inexpensive and have good taste.
A man called the cabin is in the downtown area, so it is easy to find. Just renovated. Fengyuan
Opposite Fengyuan is the music kitchen, and his iron-plate carp is delicious. There is also A Wu restaurant, which is all next to each other and the taste is not bad. I think A Wu's dry fried pork is delicious.
There is also night snacks: usually people eat barbecues, and there are many people. Go to the People's Cinema, which is the famous night snack street. Several restaurants at the entrance of the cinema have good business, but recently due to good business and large people, there is a tendency to make shoddy products; and recently, the place was demolished. The newly built beer city in front of the commercial building is also good.
Don't forget, if you want to appease your appetite, there is a place opposite the movie theater (which has been demolished) that sells sour rop cucumbers. It is a very famous and time-honored brand that sets up a stall in front of a shop. Because it's delicious, I heard that the boss made a lot of money.

I will give you another place that is not easy to find and eat "straw hat noodles".
The origin of this name is because the boss wears straw hats all year round to sell noodles. The noodles are very fragrant and can be added. The noodles are processed by him and are said to be all handmade. The boss is very strange and only sells a little every day. In the past, it was even more weird. They were only sold at 9 p.m. on Monday, March, and May. If I want to eat his straw hats, I still have to call him to ask if he is in a good mood and if I can sell noodles? You won't miss an appointment if you make an appointment. But because of this mystery, the appearance of his family is somewhat mythical. Now there is a simple shop. It is 10 meters inside the second alley on the left from the bus stop towards the department store. There is no sign. There is a broken straw hat hanging on a cart. That's it, but it's gone around 1 o'clock every afternoon. I want to eat. Hehe, please hurry up early! Whether you can eat it depends on your luck!
To be honest, the noodles are really good. A small bowl is 2 yuan, and the big bowl is 2.5 yuan. I still want to eat it after eating it, especially the minced meat.

Finally, I would like to talk about a place farther away where you can eat game for people with a lot of money to corrupt. The name of 'Shanghost Village' is very unique and the taste is still good. It's on Ziwu Road downtown. There are wild boar meat, white mouse, red meat, bacon, etc. Recommended local specialties: yellow meat, also known as pressed meat, Miao sour meat. Wild mountain fungi in Heizhugou, the fresh fungi of all kinds will dazzle you.
The third place to live
If the accommodation requirements in Zhangjiajie City are not high, you can stay at Zhangjiajie Youth Hotel for 10- 30 yuan a year. If you have higher requirements, you can only stay in a hotel, but the cost is very expensive (generally, a two-star hotel costs 50 yuan, and a three-star hotel costs 80 yuan to 120 yuan).

Accommodation in Zhangjiajie Scenic Area can be chosen at the Dagantai Brothers Hotel (the conditions are comparable to those of hotels, with carpets, separate toilets, 24-hour hot water showers, new mahogany furniture decoration, color TV can receive more than 60 stations, and the price is 30 yuan regardless of peak seasons, except for the three Golden Weeks). If you choose to stay in a Samsung hotel on the mountain, the price is around 200 yuan (it looks very grand, but there is regular water supply inside, and the TV can only receive 5 channels, so it can only be used for the rich and people who like to show off.) Other family hotels prices range from 20 yuan to 50 yuan, but the room alms are basically old, and water supply is also regular.
3. Visiting scenic spots
There are many routes in the scenic spots. Considering that most of the people on the Internet are people with full personalities, but most of them are shy of money in their pockets, I will omit some irrelevant places and attractions and write down the most essential routes and the most economical routes. For your reference.
First party press: Affordable:

Take a bus from Zhangjiajie to Tianzi Mountain (fare 10 yuan), and then take a bus directly from Tianzi Mountain Ticket Station to Tianzi Mountain Top (fare 5 yuan). This method can save more than 50 yuan in elevator or ropeway fees, or you can save more than 8000 steps and save a lot of physical strength for play. It is recommended to check directly at Brother Hotel, drop your luggage, and then start sightseeing. The owner of Brother Hotel is run by the Zhong brothers who have a good reputation on the Internet. It is located in Tianzi Mountain Dingxiang, and it only takes 5 yuan to get there from the Tianzi Mountain Ticket Station, which is very convenient.

Second party press: Take a bus from the bus station to Zhangjiajie Park or Wulingyuan. The fare is 8 yuan. After entering the mountain, you can choose to climb more than 8000 steps to Tianzi Mountain, or spend more than 50 yuan to take a cableway to Tianzi Mountain or take an elevator to Yuanjiajie.

The ticket to enter the mountain is 248 yuan for two days (student ticket is 168 yuan), which means that with the same ticket, you can enter the mountain repeatedly within two days (tickets have a fingerprint query system and cannot be replaced). Of course, the Zhangjiajie Scenic Area includes Huangshizhai, Jinbianxi, Tianzi Mountain, Laowuchang, Daguan Terrace, Yangjiajie, Yuanjiajie and many other routes. It is endless in two days, so you can choose to play according to the time. If two days are not enough to play, you must stay in the scenic area the next night, because Zhangjiajie tickets are valid for two days, but as long as you don't go out to the ticket station, you can stay in the scenic area no matter how long you stay in the scenic area.

The best route to visit the Forest Park: Cross a bridge from the Dayang Bar Square and see a stone tablet in Huangshi Village. Climb to the top from here, which can be completed in 3 hours. However, everyone agrees that Huangshi Village is not very scenic, so friends who are short of time are advised to give up Huangshi Village.

If you give up Huangshizhai, from the Forest Park Ticket Station to the Dayang Bar Square, walk directly to the Jinbian River. Along the way, there is an extremely beautiful canyon. This canyon is 7.5 kilometers long, and if it is slow, you will have to walk for two to three hours. Then see if you are climbing the mountain or taking the Bailong Elevator to Yuanjiajie or directly leaving the scenic area to stay in Wulingyuan. After going to Yuanjiajie, it only takes 20 minutes by car from Tianxia First Bridge to Brother Hotel. You can call in advance and the boss will pick up the station at Tianxia First Bridge for free. Wulingyuan is famous as a red light, so the temptation of MM is very normal. When your heart starts to stir, you must first consider whether you are willing to pay at least 500 yuan or more? If you are unwilling to pay, no matter how MM pleases you, you must be as unmoved as Liu Xiahui. "Wulingyuan Red Light District reminds you that although Amei is a good girl, don't indulge her."

Stayed for one night and it was the next day.
Let's continue sightseeing again
If you stay at Brother Hotel, you will be better off and you can get up early. Use up your memory and erase your film! If the weather is good, it is recommended to go to Daguan Terrace to watch the sun at 4:00 a.m.(This is the only place for the sunrise, one of the four wonders of Zhangjiajie (sunrise, peak forest, winter snow, cloud sea). There are also Bandits 'Nest ruins in the back garden of Yuanjia Jie. It is a very beautiful place. You must go there. You can walk in three hours. Then you can take a free eco-friendly bus to Tianzi Mountain. You can walk down the mountain and walk to the Shili Gallery. Then take the eco-friendly bus to Wulingyuan Ticket Station, and then take the 8 yuan bus back to the city.
Friends who live in Wulingyuan can take the tickets they bought yesterday and take the bus to the ticket station. After entering the door, they can transfer to the free bus to Shuihuan Simen (you can also climb the mountain from Shili Gallery to Tianzi Mountain, which takes about 2 hours to climb). There is a Hundred Dragons Ladder, which is the world's first elevator that is cursed by many people. In fact, I don't think there is anything wrong with this elevator. It is built in a very remote place and does not affect the surrounding view and environment. On the contrary, it organically combines several scenic spots and saves tourists a lot of feet. Strength, but you can see the most beautiful scenery. I highly admire this elevator.
The Hundred Dragons Stairway is very spectacular. It is attached to the mountain and is very majestic. The scenery around here is also very beautiful. Bailong Elevator Sightseeing Elevator (upward) 53 Bailong Elevator Sightseeing Elevator (downward) 43.
After reaching the top, take the free bus to the world's first bridge, which is a few minutes 'drive.
The scenery here is the most spectacular, and it is really the very essence. I won't say anything more, but I have to come and see it. It only takes 50 minutes to visit the world's first bridge. It's all about watching the scenery from the cliffs. The scenery is beyond telling.
It's almost noon. Take the bus to Tianzi Mountain. It's free. There is a Fengyun Restaurant there, which is a place to eat. The buffet has a standard of 18/person and a standard of 28/person. It's relatively expensive, but the standard of 18 is still good. There are many dishes and fruits. Please grit your teeth! Otherwise, you have to bring your own dry food. Things on the mountains are not cheap!
In Tianzi Mountain, you can see the clouds of clouds, the bronze statue of He Long, the trees, flowers, beautiful women, and handsome men!
In the afternoon, you can choose to take the cable car down the mountain. This cable car is really spectacular. I recommend it, Tianzishan Cableway (up) 52 yuan/person Tianzishan Cableway (down) 42 yuan/person. Of course, you can also walk down the mountain and then take a bus at the foot of the mountain to leave the scenic area.
If you are taking a cable car down the mountain at this time, you have very abundant time. You can go to Baofeng Lake in the afternoon to look at the beautiful water, admire the waterfalls hanging on the cliffs, walk on the iron chain bridge, and take a boat to listen to folk songs. Take a rest and relax. It's not cheap to pay 64 yuan/person.
If you don't want to go to Baofeng Lake, you can also choose Longwang Cave. The ticket is a bit high, 65 yuan/person. The very primitive and rough ore newly developed in 2003 is not as famous as Huanglong Cave, so it will not be noisy to play. The environment and scenery are unmatched by other holes. The halls in each cave are very huge, and the stalagmite stone pillars are quite well developed. People who have never seen the karst cave can go in and have a look without wasting the 65 per cent of silver. If you have not been interested in seeing a cave, don't go in. Save it if you can.
If you still have time, I would like to recommend a newly developed place to you-Tianmen Mountain. Taking the longest cableway up the mountain in Asia costs 228 yuan/person, which is a bit expensive, but the road is spectacular and is definitely a wonder of China's highways. The road goes up layer by layer like building blocks until the famous Tianmen Cave. Let me tell you a secret. Li Na, who sings "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", is practicing on top of Tianmen Mountain. She returned to China in early 2004 and now lives in Zhangjiajie. The abbot of Tianmenshan Temple is Li Na, with the Buddhist name Shi Changsheng.
Friends coming to Zhangjiajie should pay attention. The temperature difference between the scenic area and the urban area is about 5 degrees. Remember to bring more clothes.

Phoenix Part

Line:
Phoenix generally chooses to transfer trains to Jishou and Huaihua. For example, if you go to Guangzhou, you can choose: Shenzhen-Huaihua 5302, Guangzhou-Chongqing 1076 (about 240 yuan to Huaihua sleeper), Guangzhou-Zhangjiajie K502, etc. The time must be mastered.
Zhangjiajie is very convenient to get to Fenghuang. There are two buses at the bus station every day and the Huada Bar will send it directly to Fenghuang at 8:00 in the morning. And 2:30 p.m., 4 hours to Phoenix, fare 45. It's very comfortable to ride in a car. The scenery along the way is also very good. The same is true for Phoenix's return to Zhangjiajie.
If you are going to Huaihua, there is a bus to the bus station in the square after leaving the train station, which costs 1 yuan (but in fact the bus station is quite close to the train station, so it takes only 5 minutes to get there). At the bus station, there is usually a Chinese bus that goes directly to Phoenix for 20 yuan. There are outdated Hong Kong-made VCDs on the bus. Driving times seem to be uncertain, and tend to drive only when people are full. It takes about 2.5 hours to drive on the road. The scenery is average and the road conditions are fair. If there is no direct bus to Phoenix, you can choose the bus to Mayang and transfer to Phoenix when you arrive. There are many buses there.
If you are going to Jishou, you can take a ride to the bus station (the starting price of Jishou noodles is 3 yuan, and the maximum price to the bus station is 4 yuan, which takes about 5-10 minutes). There are many buses at the bus station to Fenghuang, which is also a CMB. It costs 10 yuan, about an hour.
Transportation in Phoenix: Transportation in the new city mainly relies on a covered tricycle. No matter where you go in the city, it costs one yuan per person. Generally, you can seat two people. Some drivers are cunning. If you see that you are a foreigner, you charge two yuan per person. You don't have to pick him, just change to another car. There are no transportation in the old city, but since it is not large, it is only a few steps away.
To go to various attractions such as Ala, Shanjiang, etc., you can tell the tricycle driver and they can take them to the bus station. There are CMB to go there. The CMB fare is about 3 yuan. There are many noodles and cars outside the bus station, all chartered.
It is now quite convenient to buy return train tickets in Fenghuang. 30M south of Hongqiao, there is a train ticket office at Huaihua Railway Station, which is connected to the computer to issue tickets instantly. Whether you sit hard or sleep, the handling fee for buying Huaihua tickets is 20 yuan per ticket, and for buying Jishou tickets is 25 yuan per ticket. Although the handling fee is more expensive, it is much more convenient.

Live:
There are many hotels in Phoenix, including private and public hotels. I personally think that I should stay in private hotels in the old city, especially by the riverside, so that I can deeply appreciate the charm of the local area.
1. "Nanhua Hotel"(0743-3227264), 66 yuan/triple room, public toilet and bathroom. Close to the bus station and excellent location.

6. Outside the east gate, I found a family named Xiong at No. 15 Beibei Street. Later, I learned that they had some relationship with Xiong Xiling. The old man's family were all intellectuals, only 20 yuan per person. When I went up to the second floor and stood on the balcony, I could see the bright lights of Hongqiao Bridge and hear the swaying water of the Tuojiang River, so I slept peacefully on the Tuojiang River in the night.

14. . Standard room of Beimen Hostel 30 yuan/double room 15 yuan/bed No. 47 Laocai Street, Beimen 0743 - 3222395
It should be pointed out that most of these private hotels pay a nominal amount of tax and basically do not have a business license. Therefore, if something goes wrong, it is very likely that there will be a recurrence of the "Fengyu Louwailou Inn" incident. Of course, most hotel owners in Phoenix are good, and they don't want anything to happen. In fact, no matter where we go, we should be careful and carefully protect valuables or hand them over to the store owner for help.
Eat:
Phoenix's specialties include blood-raked duck, bracken, twice-cooked pork, fish in sour soup, cans of fungi, tofu residue, and pickled cabbage soup. They are large in quantity and delicious at a low price. Personally, I think that the fish in sour soup is delicious, and the soup is delicious. You can go to Heizi Restaurant to eat it. Get off the Hongqiao Bridge and turn right for more than ten meters.
Fast food restaurants can be seen everywhere in the county. The prices are cheap and you can get a meal for 3-5 yuan. There are also unique snacks such as Malatang and rice noodles, as well as Miao's sour fish and sour carrot.
At night, Yongfengqiao Pedestrian Street (the street in front of Hongqiao), there are many night market stalls. You can eat stir-fried vegetables. Meat dishes are 5 yuan, vegetarian dishes are 2-3 yuan. It can be eaten for 2 to 30 yuan for a few people. It tastes very good. I recommend eating there.
Phoenix's most characteristic is beef kebabs, which cost 10 cents a piece (small portions). I have eaten more than 170 kebabs at one time. They taste good, so you can try them. There are also many fried skewers, including fish, crabs, etc., which cost more than fifty cents to one yuan. As long as you are not afraid of spicy food, you can try it every day and walk south of Hongqiao for about 5 minutes. At night, there is a barbecue street with all kinds of barbecues, wine-brewed glutinous rice balls, wontons, dumplings, hot pot everything. Mutton skewers are 5 yuan and 50 skewers, but don't fool 50 skewers, they are all very small skewers and can be completely eliminated. A bowl of wine-brewed glutinous rice balls is one yuan, with sesame filling and delicious. Chaos is two yuan, like Shanghai's Little Chaos, but with less meat. It is open as usual (hanging plastic sheets when it rains). Breakfast is mainly made of fried dough sticks, chaos, dumplings, and rice noodles. The rice noodles here are thicker and wider than those in Guangdong. There are some kinds of rice noodles made of mung beans. You can try them.
This is the origin of kiwis and oranges. Although it is a bit past the peak period at this time, the price is still quite cheap. Kiwis are 1-1.5 yuan/catty (the cheapest is 0.5 yuan), and oranges are 0.8 yuan/catty. Eat it freely.
Play:
At present, eight scenic spots including the Great Wall of the South, Huangsi Bridge, Shen Congwen's Former Residence, Qiliang Cave, Xiong Xiling's Former Residence, Yang's Ancestral Hall, Tuojiang Boat Rowing, and North Gate Tower are subject to universal admission at 150 yuan per person, which is bought out by the owner of Huanglong Cave, and ticket prices are also soaring. A pass for 86 yuan is required for the six major attractions in the Urban area. (It is strongly recommended not to see the six scenes, because it is not worth seeing, and if you want to see one of them, you will have to tie in with the other five)
Ancient City:
There are relatively concentrated scenic spots, including Shen Congwen's former residence, Xiong Xiling's former residence, Yang's ancestral hall, Tuojiang boating, North Gate Tower, etc. I went to the Tianjia Ancestral Hall. It was on the north bank of the rock jumping. I didn't charge any money. As soon as I entered the door, I saw two carpenters carving. The craftsmanship was good. When I turned around the wall, I saw the stage. The stage was facing the stands rising from the steps, and the stands also have canopies.
There are two rock-jumping piles, one is composed of stone piles and two rows, one high and one low, each pile is about 50CM apart. It is a bit like plum blossom piles, with the top of the pile being chiseled to avoid slipping. The other one is paved with wooden boards, and there may be about 3- 4M between piles. On the contrary, I think it is a little unstable. Some wooden boards will dent as soon as people pass by. Hey, a little scared.
Along the Tuo River, especially in the early morning, there are many women washing clothes. Each of them uses a wooden racket, and the "pop" sounds can be heard endlessly. This is the best opportunity for photography enthusiasts to murder film. But everyone should pay attention to their limits and sometimes don't get too close. I saw a friend in camouflage uniform looking at an aunt, but scolded the aunt, saying that he would pay for taking pictures like this, and so on.
On the east gate city wall, many Miao aunties rent out clothing and jewelry. They look real. If you are interested, you can try it. Liu Dapao, an old man, is said to produce the best batiks in Phoenix. In an ordinary house without a sign on Wenxing Street.
On Tingtao Mountain in the east of the city, there is Shen Congwen's cemetery, the century-old place where a generation of literary heroes returned home. There is also an endless stream of tourists coming here. It should be gratified that the old man knows him under the spring.
Ala Scenic Area:
Huangsiqiao Ancient City: Admission is 25 yuan, but there is no money in the city, because it is all residential buildings, and there are everything for raising pigs and raising cattle. Instead of visiting the ancient city, it would be better to walk around the city and observe the people's sentiments. The city is not big, about 300 meters long. From time to time, you can still see children with two snot running around, typical of the indigenous residents. But I heard that the residents were about to move out and the city was to rebuild the ancient yamen and government. By then, it will be difficult to enter the city without buying a ticket.
Shujiatang: Admission is 12 yuan. It is a well-preserved ancient "community". The location is relatively remote. It is basically built of stone. It is called "The Ancient City of Fenghuang comes from the south wall, and it is famous for Shujiatang". It is the best ancient building in the Fenghuang area. Due to publicity and road issues, not many people are coming yet. Basically everyone in the village has the surname Yang, who is said to be descendants of the Yang family generals.
Shanjiang Scenic Area:
The largest stone bridge in the world: It is the Wushao River Bridge, designed by local engineers in Phoenix. It is the largest stone bridge in the world. It does not use a single steel bar (??). There is a Miao village next to the bridge.
Shanjiang Miao Museum: Admission is 20 yuan. The museum is not very large. It has 9 exhibition halls, which comprehensively displays the cultural characteristics of the Miao people. It is a good place to understand the Miao people. Especially the tour guide Wu Yanju, who is quick to speak and is good at singing and dancing, left a deep impression on us. This museum was only opened on the National Day of this year, but I didn't expect the quality of the tour guide to be so high. I recommend everyone to visit it.
Qiliang Cave: Admission is 55 yuan. It is 5 kilometers north of Phoenix City. The car to Jixin passes by and costs 2 yuan. The tour time is close to 2 hours and is guided by a guide. The form is similar to Guilin Crown Rock, Reed Flute Rock, etc., but it is really not too special. Not far from the entrance, there is a storage room for "drunkard" wine. It is said that XX bottles are stored and were not opened until the 2008 Olympics...
