Travel Planning-Prepare before Going

As early as December, I discussed going out with my classmate Xiaomin, and later decided to go to Hunan in January because it was the off-season, there were few people, and the air tickets were cheap. We booked the ticket a month in advance... It costs only more than 700 yuan yuan for one person to go back and forth, which is very affordable. The plane was flying from Shanghai to Changsha, and there were two reasons why we didn't book a ticket to Zhangjiajie: one was because we were going to visit Changsha; the other was because according to colleagues, the ticket to Zhangjiajie was relatively expensive. In line with the principle of cost-effectiveness and in order to satisfy my food (Changsha is a food paradise-snacks Hunan cuisine), we still flew to Changsha Airport.

There are three destinations this time: Changsha-Zhangjiajie-Phoenix

After doing my homework online, the conclusions are as follows: Changsha and Fenghuang cultural landscapes have small scenic spots, so I went around myself and did not follow a group or hire a tour guide; Zhangjiajie is a natural scenic spot with a large area. Many travelers would invite a tour guide when they go. We also decided to invite a tour guide, but it was not the kind that participated in a shopping group. It was a local self-service tour club with a good reputation on the Internet. There were no shopping spots, and the viewing hours were relaxed. The itinerary was free, and the main thing was to save money. Hehe, after selecting, I went to Zhangjiajie Chen Chen Self-service Tour, and I also saw his contact information in the post bar. The service attitude was great! The tour guide is very kind.

Add: The train ticket from Shanghai to Hunan is actually not much different from the air ticket price, and the journey time will be relatively long. If you must want to take a train, it is recommended to take a train when you go there and fly back, which will save effort. I was in the mood to enjoy the scenery along the way when I went there. I was tired when I returned, so I had better go home and rest quickly.

First of all, let's talk about the reasons why we went to Hunan:

Changsha: "In the cold autumn of independence, the Xiangjiang River heads north and Juzi Island heads." This is Chairman Mao's "Qinyuanchun·Changsha" that we have long learned. In addition to Xiangjiang River and Juzizhou, there is also the Aiwan Pavilion where "Parking and Sitting in Love Maple Forest Evening". Yuelu Academy, the first of the four great academies in ancient China, the famous Tianxin Pavilion and the Mawangdui Han Tomb all exude a strong humanistic color. In addition, it is also the base for programs such as "Happy Camp" and "Daily Up". But in fact, the ones that fascinate us most are Hunan cuisine and Changsha snacks, one of the eight major cuisines in China. Eating these is of course the most authentic in Changsha!

Zhangjiajie: The mountains in Zhangjiajie are magnificent and endless! Yangjiajie, Yuanjiajie, and Tianzi Mountain all have a unique flavor whether you look up or down. The main reason is that I want to go there to take photos and see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland at the same time!

Phoenix: A place that is as leisurely as Gulangyu. In addition, it also has the charm of an ancient city. Morning and evening are different worlds. Going there to experience the simple folk customs and eating some local delicacies is our goal.

Preparation before going on

1. ID card, bank card, and student ID card are all necessary. Student ID card can be purchased for student tickets in scenic spots to save money in various ways

2. Toiletries; the Zhangjiajie scenic area is full of farmhouses and no hotels. For environmental protection, they do not prepare them, so they must bring them.

3. Various medicines, especially diarrhea medicines and cold medicines.

4. Umbrella or disposable poncho. Without this thing, if it rained, it would be a tragedy!!!

January 6-Departure-Flight from Shanghai to Changsha-Day 1 in Changsha-Late stay in Changsha

Youtianxin Pavilion-Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street-Bar Street-Snack tasting

the first day

Transportation: We arrived at Changsha Huanghua Airport by plane and took the airport bus to the center of Changsha City. The bus price was 16.5 yuan per person. Then we took a taxi to where we lived. The price of TAXI in Changsha is a starting fee of 7 yuan, and ranges from 1.6 to 1.8 yuan per kilometer, divided into urban and suburban areas.

The price of the bus is 1 yuan. Places like Hunan basically don't accept coins, so they prepare more yuan for paper money. Buses can basically reach the attractions we want to go, but the prerequisite is that we must be able to withstand the road conditions in Changsha Kengdad. Traffic jams are common.

Attractions:

Tianxin Pavilion: Since we arrived in the afternoon on the first day, we just had a quick visit to Tianxin Pavilion. Here, the ticket price for Tianxin Pavilion is 16 yuan, and the ticket price is 8 yuan per person based on the student ID card. Tianxin Pavilion closes at 5:30 at night, so if you want to have a good time, you must enter before 3:30, otherwise there will be no time to take good photos.

Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street: The original plan was to go to Nanmenkou, but when we reached Jiefang Road, we turned into Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street. In fact, it is equivalent to Shanghai's Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. For us, we need to change the soup without changing the dressing. It's a quite lively street, and of course pickpockets are also very lively. Be careful when you go.

Bar Street: Changsha's characteristic. The whole street is full of bars. It is also difficult and congested here. Very close to Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street. Hunan people like to be lively very much, and before it's late at night, the bar is already full of people.

Photo description: Classic stinky tofu photographed location: Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street, Changsha

Snack: We went to the Huo Palace. I can only say that it is the best of the best... The snacks there no longer have the flavor of Changsha. Don't be deceived by the old online strategies. The locals in Changsha don't know how to eat in the Huo Palace at all. They are all deceiving foreigners. Moreover, the service attitude there is so bad that I have to breathe fire several times. The spicy pig feet they have there are not bad.

Photo description: Spicy pork knuckle, photographed location: Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street, Changsha

Picture description: Many snacks... Shooting location: Changsha Huo Palace

Stinky tofu: Changsha's stinky tofu is super unique. The surface of the tofu is black, very crisp on the outside, but very tender on the inside. They will dig a hole in the fried stinky tofu and pour it with chili sauce and special soup. Once bitten, it is similar to Shanghai Xiaolongbao. It is very fragrant. I recommend eating roadside stalls, which is basically 5 yuan per serving.

Let me first focus on Changsha's traffic. Generally speaking, Changsha's traffic gives me the feeling that it is not so orderly: pedestrians jaywalking randomly, motorcycles are overloaded and traveling through the heavy traffic, which is very dangerous. We witnessed with our own eyes a family of four being knocked down and fell. Women and children fell. Taking the bus is very slow and the road is very congested. At its peak, a road seems to have become a one-way street. Three rows of cars block the way, and you can't move forward little by little! Let's talk about taxis. According to taxi drivers, there were more than 6000 taxis in Changsha 10 years ago, and this number is still maintained until now. Moreover, drivers in Changsha are very picky. It is inevitable that they will be refused pick when they encounter too close or when the route passes through congested urban areas. So in Changsha, black cars are flying all over the street. Road conditions are very smooth before 7 a.m.

January 7-The second day in Changsha-Arrive in Zhangjiajie by car-Stay late in Zhangjiajie

According to the itinerary, we took a bus to Zhangjiajie in the afternoon.

Transportation: Bus No. 1 is 1 yuan per person; bus to Zhangjiajie is 85 yuan per person, which takes about 5 hours.

Attractions:

First Normal School: Let me tell you here: never take out your artifact too early when you go to the First Normal School. You must sneak in with a low profile. Otherwise, you will be allowed to buy a ticket. The ticket price is 15 yuan and the student price is 8 yuan. In order to evade taxes, they even gave us a deck of playing cards, saying it could be worth a ticket.

Photo description: First Normal University, shooting location: Changsha First Normal University

The First Normal University is very unique. The antique campus is basically a wooden structure. When I was walking there, I felt that if there was a fire, escaping would be a big problem. You can imagine that they must have done a very good job in fire safety. If it were spring, the First Normal School would definitely be full of flowers, and the article would be full of spring.

Photo description: Yuelu Academy, Location: Yuelu Academy, Changsha

Yuelu Academy: Admission is 30 yuan, and student ticket is 15 yuan. We called for a manual explanation, and it was 40 yuan. The advantage of calling manual explanations is that we can better understand the background of Yuelu Academy, the meaning and historical background of various aspects in the academy.

Yuelu Mountain: We went up a little bit and only arrived at Aiwan Pavilion. There is no need for tickets to Yuelu Mountain.

Shooting location: Changsha Aiwan Pavilion

We will arrive in Zhangjiajie in the afternoon. Once you get off the car, you first have to descend a steep staircase to reach the parking lot. When you go down the stairs, many people will recommend you a few days tour. Don't show any interest at this time. Once you deliberately ask a few questions, you will be surrounded by enthusiastic wild horses, so at this time you should go straight to the big square on the left side of the exit. It is best to contact the tour guide you have chosen online before going out at home, and let the tour guide pick you up at the station. It is the safest way, so that you will save a lot of trouble. This time we went out to read the guide written by others online. The very popular tour guide Chen Chen. At first, we were very worried about him. After all, we found him by reading other people's travel notes and were worried that he would be cheated. However, after meeting, we quickly let down our guard and were super nice. Later, we also felt very glad that we had contacted Chen Chen as a tour guide. She had a good relationship in the local area and would also promptly remind us that we could buy things and that we couldn't buy things. Basically, she would not take us shopping. The entire trip was in Zhangjiajie for three days and two nights. We gave Chen Chen 850 yuan, including room and board, as well as tickets to Zhangjiajie Forest Park of 248 and Tianmen Mountain of 261. If there were no tour guides, they would have been very miserable in Zhangjiajie. The businesses there are very dark and have a very bad attitude towards tourists. They will not point tourists the right way. Moreover, the price is extremely expensive. An egg soup costs tens of yuan. Anyway, if you want to go to Zhangjiajie and this is your first time, it is highly recommended to contact your tour guide to prevent getting lost and trapped in the mountains! Our guide Chen Chen is very good and recommends it to friends who are going.

Public transportation: The starting fee for a taxi is 5 yuan. 1.6 yuan per kilometer. You usually take a bus from the urban area to the scenic spot at 12 yuan per person. Buses have basically been ignored.

Tianmen Cableway: The oblique length of the cableway line is 7455 meters, and the horizontal height difference between the upper and lower stations is 1279 meters. It is the world's longest single-line circulating cable-type cableway. It is like a rainbow flying across the "world" and "sky". It is also like a giant dragon soaring into the sky, leaning against the mountain wall, pulling the ground into the sky, sweeping the air, and magnificent. It has become one of the "Four Wonders" of Tianmen Mountain Tourist Scenic Area.

Tongtian Avenue: The winding mountain highway known as Tongtian Avenue has a total of 99 bends, surrounded by jade belts, closely connected by bends, stacked layer upon layer, leaning against the mountain walls and heading straight into the sky. The "No. 1 Highway Wonders in the World" were born in the sky, looking at the highway from the cableway, the highway is as dense as a spider's web, with a vertical height difference of about a thousand meters.

Tianmen Cave opens: Climb Tianmen Cave 999 steps to heaven to pray. It is 131.5 meters high and more than 50 meters wide. It is located on the plain wall of Chihiro from north to south. It is majestic and towering. It is a rare high-altitude karst cave that penetrates the mountain. It is also a miracle of creation. The 2006 Russian Air Force Tianmen Mountain aerobatic flight show in Zhangjiajie raised the suspense of Tianmen Cave and once again became the global focus.

Guigu Plank Road: At your feet are endless green fields, flocks of birds are playing in the canyon, and occasionally eagles pass by in front of you, close your eyes, hold your numb legs, and stretch out your arms with a rapid heartbeat., you can get the most perfect, exciting and nature-friendly SPA. Because, you should know that this kind of scenery on the cliff is generally enjoyed by non-humans.

Afternoon: Return to the city around 2:30 pm to end the pleasant trip...

Special tips: There are no suitable restaurants or dining places in Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area, so you should prepare some food by yourself that day; the temperature on the top of the mountain is about 8 degrees lower than that in the urban area, so pay attention to carrying clothes.

Snacks: We had dinner in Zhangjiajie. The so-called "silver full bucket three sauces" tastes good, is still clean, and is also very cheap. The price is more than 70 yuan for two people. If you can't afford spicy food, you can ask for less spicy food. The seasonal vegetables there are good, and you should drink more tea water when you eat spicy food.

After eating, I went back to the hotel to have an early rest, refreshed myself and prepared to go to the scenic spot to play.

January 10-The first day of Zhangjiajie-Late stay in the scenic area

National Forest Park-Jinbianxi-Shuilao Simen Environmental Protection Station-Bailong Elevator-Yuanjiajie-Shenshen Party-Air Pastoral

National Forest Park--Jinbianxi--Shuirao Simen Environmental Protection Station--Bailong Elevator--Yuanjiajie--Shenshen Party, Aerial Pastoral

Transportation: To the gate of the National Forest Park, it takes 40 minutes to take the scenic spot special bus, but it takes 2 minutes to walk before the ticket gate.

Attractions: We are from the entrance of the National Forest Park. The ticket is 248 and the student ticket is 168. Here, the student ID must be clear.

Our route is: It takes almost three and a half hours to walk the Jinbian River, which is 7.5 miles long.

Picture description: The secluded creek, photographed location: Jinbian Creek, Zhangjiajie

Pass by Jinbianyan, Changshou Spring, Shuanggui Tanxi, Huaguoshan and other scenic spots to arrive at Sishuiraomen Environmental Protection Station

Photo description: Meeting across thousands of miles, also known as Couples Rock, photographed location: Jinbianxi, Zhangjiajie

Picture description: It's so spectacular. The shooting location: Jinbianxi, Zhangjiajie

(Let's just say that walking on the steep slope is nearly 3000 steps, and the journey takes about 1-2 hours. That part is actually climbing directly up the mountain without taking the Bailong elevator to reach the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area. Think about how tiring it is!) Take an eco-friendly car to Bailong Elevator eco-friendly station.

Take the Bailong Elevator to Yuanjiajie Scenic Area. The P.S. mountain road is really eighteen turns. If you want to pay attention to students who have motion sickness, you can either bring a horse bag, swallow motion sickness medicine, or let your partner knock you out and pack and drag you away. When someone was getting carsick at that time, I really wanted to choose the last one!!!

Enter the scenic area around 9:30 in the morning and arrive at Yuanjiajie Scenic Area around 12:30 - 1:00. Tickets for Bailong Elevator are 72 yuan one way, and student tickets are 40% off.

Picture description: Cute little monkey photographed location: Jinbianxi, Zhangjiajie

Notes: When passing through Huaguoshan, be sure to hide your food. Don't carry a horse bag or it will be scratched by monkeys. There are a group of monkeys around Huaguoshan. They can rob for food. The monkeys are very smart and can keep a lookout. They wait quietly for you to pass, and then start robbing. They will be scared to death. P.S. If there is no room for the bag, the clothes are big enough to hold a pregnant woman. Mr. Liu did this. People passing by did not look at him, and monkeys did not look at others as lookout, but all looked at him!!!!

Photo description: Monkey squatting on a tree and keeping watch. Photo location: Jinbianxi, Zhangjiajie

Director Chen has a wise saying-eat your own food depends on the monkey's eyes. Haha,

Things on the mountain are more expensive, so I'd better bring my own food. However, the fruits on the mountain are quite cheap. Oranges are 1 yuan a catty, and there are also 2 yuan a catty, which seems to be better.

Start visiting Yuanjiajie in the afternoon. You can stand on the mountain and overlook the beautiful scenery. The mountains are continuous and spectacular. The attractions you can see include: Ecstasy Terrace, Qiankun Pillar, and the World's No. 1 Bridge.

The focus is on the first bridge in the world. This is a naturally formed bridge. Between the two mountains, you can stand on the observation deck to see this natural bridge. Concentric locks are also sold there. If couples go there, they can buy them and lock them on the iron railings of the bridge there. It is also quite romantic on a mountain at an altitude of more than 1500 meters.

Photo description: Hallelujah Mountains on Planet Pandora in the Avatar movie, isn't it spectacular? Shooting location: Yuan Jiajie

Picture description: Wow... Afraid of falling, shooting location: Yuanjiajie, Zhangjiajie

After that, we took a bus at the environmental protection station at Tianxia First Bridge to Dingxiang Rong Village, where we lived. It was almost four o'clock at this time, and it was almost four thirty when we arrived at our place.

In fact, there is still an undeveloped scenic spot in Zhangjiajie. Environmentally friendly vehicles are not available, so you need to charter cars in the village to go there.

Picture description: Close up with the Shenshen Gathering... Shooting location: Zhangjiajie Laowuchang

After traveling this day, the thing that deserves to be highly recommended is the Shenshen Party in Laowuchang
About half an hour later, standing on the mountain, you can see the Bailong Elevator opposite, and below is the famous aerial countryside. There are two aerial pastoral areas. The smaller one is more beautiful. Both are terraced fields. The smaller one is planted with rice and has a more beautiful shape. Walking forward, there will be a platform after going down the mountain, where the Divine Soldiers Gathering will be. Standing on that platform, you can see the strange mountains and rocks of Zhangjiajie, which is beautiful. However, that section of the road down the mountain was a bit difficult to walk. There were no guardrails and the road had not been repaired. It was similar to the village road that villagers walked out of in the mountains. Be careful when walking and don't slide down. It takes about 20 minutes to walk down the mountain to the platform. For the beautiful scenery, this journey is worth the difficulty!!

This place is not open to the public yet, so you need to take a taxi from Lilac Banyan. At this time, the road had not been repaired, so it was extremely bumpy. After about 15-20 minutes of bumps, you can get off the bus to watch the sky countryside. It is also a spectacle, but the Shenshen Party cannot be reached directly by car and requires a bumpy mountain road. As long as you go, you will find a mountain road. At first, it is extremely narrow before you can open up to people. After another ten steps, you will find an open space. If you go to the left, you will suddenly see a bright spot. I saw numerous peaks lined with fifty-six divine weapons in total. They seemed to be holding swords and halberds, guarding here with dignity. It was nearly dusk, and the setting sun shone on him, making him look energetic and golden. Only the physical and mental environment can you feel the shock of this scene. There are no guardrails ahead, and if you take a few steps forward, you will be greeted by an abyss. At this time, silence is better than sound. You just need to look at them quietly and you will feel what the combination of man and nature is. After coming here, you will definitely feel that Zhangjiajie has been a worthwhile trip! However, if possible, it would be best to arrange the Divine Weapon Gathering at the end of the tour. Personally, I feel that whether it is Chizhuo Terrace, Shentang Bay, or Tianbo Prefecture, they will be instantly eclipsed in front of it. Traveling through these places and coming back to the Shenmen Party will instantly sublimate your impression of Zhangjiajie!

Picture description: What a special farmland, photographed location: Zhangjiajie aerial countryside

Dinner: We ate a three-pot cooked by the owner of the inn where we stayed. There were a lot of delicious food in it, among which the bacon was simply delicious

January 11-The second day of Zhangjiajie-Car to Phoenix-Late stay in the ancient city

Daguan Terrace-Yangjiajie-Tianbo Prefecture-Tianzi Mountain-Shentang Bay-Take a bus to Fenghuang Ancient City in the afternoon-Enjoy the night view

the fourth day

Yangjiajie of Dagantai--Tianbo Prefecture--Shentang Bay of Tianzi Mountain

At 9:30 in the morning, we took an eco-friendly car from Lilac Banyan to Yangjiajie Scenic Area to see Tianbo Prefecture. Wulong Village used to be a bandit's den. It is said that the bandits were unable to drive them down at that time, and later they surrendered. There is a particularly difficult section of the road to Tianbo Prefecture, requiring you to bend down and lower your head. This is the so-called "when people walk under a stone, they have to bow their heads." There was a quite large section of road where only one person could go up and down. We said at that time that fat people could not go. And this is not the difficulty. The most difficult part is the period when we climbed Tianbo Prefecture. It is a straight staircase without a safety belt. You have to hold on to the iron railing next to you to climb up. Not far away is a cliff. After going up, it is the real beautiful scenery, just a small platform, but it allows people to appreciate the magnificent beauty of Zhangjiajie. When it was time to go down, the girl was in trouble and her legs were shaking!

The road to Tianbo Prefecture is basically a return from the same way.

Then you can take an eco-friendly car to Tianzi Mountain ~~ We just had a rough tour of Tianzi Mountain. I took a look at Shentang Bay and then took the Tianzi Mountain cableway down the mountain. Tickets for the cableway are 67 yuan, and student tickets are 40% off. The exit is Wulingyuan Exit. Then you can take a taxi for 5 yuan to the bus station, and then take a bus to the city. The bus price is 12 yuan per person.

Photo description: Stone boat going out to sea,,, Photo location: Tianzi Mountain

In the afternoon, we went to Wei Wei's spectacular Tianmen Mountain. The only way to go up Tianmen Mountain was by cableway, and the ticket plus round-trip cableway was 261 yuan. It is the longest and highest cableway in the world. It is 35 minutes to the top of the mountain one way. Sitting in the cableway is exciting... Cool, it took half an hour to reach the top of the mountain from the bottom of the mountain. There is a very steep section with a spectacular scenery. While getting in close contact with the mountain in front of you, you can also see the winding mountain road with nine twists and eighteen turns, like a dragon lying in the mountains. After climbing the mountain, I also walked on the Ghost Valley Boardwalk. However, personally, I feel that it is far less exciting than the glass plank road. Another suggestion: Tourists come to Hunan from south and north. If the itinerary allows, it is recommended to visit Phoenix behind Zhangjiajie. Whether it's walking on rough and rugged mountain roads or taking a chain of environmentally friendly cars that make sharp turns, visiting Zhangjiajie really cost us a lot of physical strength, and visiting Phoenix after that will really give you comprehensive relaxation in your heart and body.

Tianmen Mountain Cableway,

This is why Tianmen Mountain is named after this Tianmen Cave

It is said that the most valuable thing on Tianmen Mountain is not Tianmen Cave, but the Qutian Avenue at the ninety-nine bays

What a spectacular plank road, there is a vast abyss below. You must take good care of your children, haha,

Standing on Yunmeng Xianding, I saw the sea of clouds

The most exciting glass plank road

Zhangjiajie, goodbye... Thank you to Director Chen for your company and care along the way, O(④_④)O thank you

In the afternoon, we took the 5:30 bus to Fenghuang. Because it rained on the road and the road conditions were not very good, it was almost past 9 o'clock in the evening to arrive at Fenghuang. We returned to the hotel and hurriedly put down our luggage and went out.

Snacks: There is a barbecue street in the city, and I quickly settled it there that day. The price of barbecue is generally relatively expensive, and it costs more than 30 to eat casually. What impressed me more was that the very small beef kebabs cost 1 yuan and the mutton kebabs cost 2 yuan. The barbeques there are more expensive than those in Shanghai, and they are again deceiving foreign tourists. Later, I heard from people outside the city that there is also a barbecue street outside. On Xinma Road, food is very affordable. Locals go there to eat. When you have the opportunity to visit Fenghuang again, you must go there to try it.

Night view... Special place Fenghuang Ancient City

Kiwi juice. Fenghuang produces a large amount of kiwifruit, and kiwifruit peripheral products are sold everywhere, and kiwifruit juice is one of them. 2-3 Yuan a cup. It tastes good, sour and sweet. It's very good to eat with the barbecue.

Photo description: It's quite beautiful. Photo location: Fenghuang Ancient City

January 12-Phoenix's first day-Late stay in the ancient city

Strolling in the ancient city-Snacks-Night view-Bars

the fifth day

It was still in Phoenix. The Phoenix was particularly quiet and fresh in the morning. You can sleep leisurely until 8 or 9 o'clock, because Phoenix usually opens stores from 9:30 to 10 o'clock in off-peak season, so you can sleep more and keep your spirits up.

It only takes about 2 hours to stroll around Phoenix. Because there is Miao Village in Fenghuang, the ethnic flavor is very strong, so you can borrow Miao clothes to wear and take photos.

If you have enough time, you can go boating in Leopard Bay. I heard from people there that leopards were really present in Leopard Bay in the past and they often attacked children.

To see the scenic spots, there are Shen Congwen's former residence, Xiong Xiling's former residence, Wanshou Palace, etc. There is a coupon for 148 yuan each.

Encounter at the milk tea shop: Since it was morning, we were honored to be the boss's first customers. The store feels similar to the store on Gulangyu. There are many customer messages and so on. The owner is also very kind. He chatted with us a lot and recommended several small shops where local people would eat. Encounter milk tea is the signature of the store. The boss's coffee is brewed with a coffee machine, not instant coffee ~ The price of a cup of milk tea is 10 yuan. They also have a special set meal, which costs 30 yuan.

Bar: Let's just say a bar in general terms here. Like Changsha, Fenghuang also has a bar street, which is basically along the river and is very lively at night. All kinds of singing are floating, and guests in the bar can go up and sing. It seems that it costs 20 yuan a song, and your voice can echo along the Tuojiang River.

Points for attention: It is best not to eat in the ancient city of Fenghuang. Basically, it is to slaughter customers. Moreover, the food does not taste very good and is not clean. Try to go outside the city to eat. The more locals the better the restaurant, the better. This depends on the eyes of relatives who are good at discovering.

In the morning, it returns to its tranquility and comfort, and the pure and honest flavor of the ancient city is fully demonstrated. In the morning, primary school students skillfully walked through rocks to school with schoolbags, women squatted by the Tuojiang River to wash their clothes, and local elderly people exercised early under the city wall. Miao grandmothers placed homemade silver ornaments, flower buds, and embroidered shoes early for tourists to come and buy. The store was basically not open much at this time, and there were very few people. Walking through the alleys, you could feel the quiet phoenix.

January 13-Phoenix Day 2-Go to Changsha-Stay in Changsha for the night

On the sixth day, according to the schedule, I will return to Changsha in the afternoon

Transportation: Take the bus from Phoenix to Changsha. The fare is 130 per person. The journey on the road takes about 5.5 hours. The starting price for a taxi from Fenghuang to North Bus Station is 3 yuan, and the maximum price for a taxi to North Bus Station is about 6-7 yuan. We took the 2 o'clock bus to Changsha Railway Station. The location where each bus arrived was different, so we had to pay attention to it clearly.

On the last day of Phoenix, we still didn't go to the scenic spots, only visited some small shops. I bought some small souvenirs and gave them home to my parents. P.S. Those who like silver jewelry should pay attention. There is no doubt that the silver sold by the roadside grandma is fake. You should be able to buy it for 3-4 yuan each.

snack

Junzi Hotel. This store was mentioned in many Phoenix guides. We went to try it out and it was okay. Personally, I think it's a little oily and not very clean. Anyway, it's not as delicious as Laogen Restaurant. Blood cake duck is a local specialty, but this restaurant didn't make me have a favorable impression on this dish. It can only be described as general. Only 40-50 per capita.

I took a 5.5-hour bus ride back to Changsha in the afternoon.

January 14-Return trip

Return from Huanghua Airport-

the seventh day

The process returns to Shanghai. Arrived at Changsha Huanghua Airport at 6:30 in the morning, and the flight left at 9:30. Due to the traffic jam in Changsha's peak hours, we would rather go to the airport to sleep early.

P.S. remembered that when going out after 7 o'clock in Changsha, he would definitely catch up with the rush hour. Not only would he not be able to catch a bus, the original 20-minute journey might become more than an hour due to traffic jams. The driver in Changsha was too barbaric to drive. The traffic police could only whistle and roar, but no one paid attention to him. If there is something urgent, you'd better hurry up early.

Aha ~ I finally finished writing the strategy for this 7-day and 6-night trip to Hunan!! And post beautiful pictures! I hope I can provide some help to those who want to go to Hunan!
