When is the best time to go to Fenghuang Ancient City?

(a) the ancient city of Fenghuang is divided into five scenic spots:

Ancient city scenic spot:

With the ancient city as the center, Hongqiao in the east, Yannaocheng in the south, Chitangping in the west and Tuojiang in the north, with a total area of 1 km2. It is the most prosperous area with the largest number of ancient buildings and the "heart" of Fenghuang County. This ancient city has a history of more than 1000 years, forming many places of interest. This is the "throat of Guizhou and Chu", which has an important strategic position and has always been a border town. After the mid-Qing Dynasty, the military and political dignitaries stationed in "Zhenbian", "Tunbian" and "Suibian" followed closely, and writers and poets also came. Therefore, large-scale construction has been carried out. All the buildings are beautifully designed, with arches and cornices, carved dragons and phoenixes, and painted with gold paint. Because of the strategic needs of the rulers, there are more temples and ancestral halls in Phoenix than in other places. And most of them are concentrated in the ancient city. Therefore, this ancient city is called "the splendid palace". The ancient city is a charming castle peak, half of Athens. The beautiful natural scenery of the whole ancient city is inexhaustible.

Nanhuashan Scenic Area:

The whole scenic spot is green with mountains and rivers and lush trees. The mist in the morning is green and the sunset in the evening is purple. The rain came, the smoke dispersed and the yarn dispersed. It is suitable for sunny and rainy days. The scenic spot includes three scenic spots, namely "South China is full of green flowers", "Blue Whale Woodcut Song" and "Mountain Temple Morning Bell". In short, the South Huashan Scenic Area is: the forest road hovers, the snails surround the green hills, and the rain and sunshine are suitable, just like watching the color.

Shawan Scenic Area:

The center of the scenic spot is Shawan. Including five of the past eight scenic spots: Dongling Ying Hui, Longtan cooking and fishing, Fange Tao Hui, Xiqiao jathyapple and Qifeng Tingxiu, known as "Yuen Long". Here, a bend of clear water, surrounded by green hills, temples, pavilions and temples; Pavilions and pavilions are scattered, and classical and modern buildings are interspersed and coordinated, which is unique. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the rain can't wash away, and the birds are gently sent with the wind.

Qiliangdong Scenic Area:

5 kilometers away from the county seat. It has the characteristics of strangeness, beauty, quietness and preciseness. It belongs to the peak-cluster valley type dominated by dissolution, which melts the wonders of heaven and earth into one hole.

Huangsiqiao Ancient City Scenic Area:

There is a complete stone town in Miao area, 25 kilometers away from the county seat. Located between the green trees and Rocky Mountain in Huangsiqiao Village, the city site is a famous scenic spot and an ancient battlefield site where "the subject and the object compete" and the white blades intersect. The ancient city was founded in the Tang Dynasty and has been rebuilt and repaired in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Today, the ancient city is intact and stands tall. /kloc-the 0/0-meter-high brick and wooden towers are all buildings designed in the Qing Dynasty, and they are magnificent and ancient military camps with algae reliefs, cornices, and bluestone adobe, which still vaguely exist. The ancient city stands on the edge of Chu, overlooking Guizhou and Sichuan. There is a scene in the scene, a scene outside the scene, a scene in the scene, a scene in the scene, and a scene everywhere, making the whole Fenghuang County a picturesque and unique "hometown of painting".

(2) scenic spot charges:

Fees for Fenghuang and its surrounding scenic spots: Dehang 28, Eight Scenes of Fenghuang 150 (boating on water, Qiliangdong, South Great Wall, Huangsiqiao Ancient City, Shen Congwen's former residence, Xiong Xiling's former residence, Yangjia Ancestral Hall) Chaoyang Palace 5, Chen's ancient residence 6, Mengdong River rafting 124 (including insurance).

(3) Accommodation:

Accommodation in Phoenix can be divided into hotels and family hotels. Hotels: Nanhua Hotel and Holiday Inn in downtown area are not bad. You can go to the Education Hotel, Xinhua Hotel, and Gucheng Hotel on the Grand Turntable. Family hotel I recommend Linshuiju near the north gate and Tian Hangshu's former residence on the old street, each with its own characteristics. The price of the hotel is generally around 50 yuan/person/day (double standard room), and the family hostel 20 yuan/person/bed. Of course, you can ask us for help. I made a reservation online. You can have a look and upload it in a few days. At the entrance of the old street, there is a big sign that says all the hotels in Phoenix. If you don't want to see my introduction, you can go and see it yourself.

(4) Eat: Phoenix people are delicious, so they eat a lot.

Snacks include pickled carrots and ginger candy, and we have arrived at the night market in the evening. The best pickled lobster is the one that stands at the entrance of Wenchang Pavilion Primary School. Ginger sugar is the one at the end of the alley to Shen Congwen's former residence. I have eaten their ginger candy since I was a child, so my teeth always hurt.

Restaurant: There are two restaurants in the old street. Founder restaurant, as well as the old street hotel below, has been transferred to the ancient city hotel, as well as the fresh fish shop below. I recommend Fangzheng Restaurant, because there you can meet some old painters and folk artists of Phoenix from time to time and listen to them talk about Phoenix.

Phoenix's diet: four dishes and one soup: social dishes, roast duck with blood, hot and sour fish, sticky rice hot and sour slices, steamed bacon, sauerkraut and tofu soup.

(5) There are many routes to Phoenix.

One: You can take a bus to Jishou first, and then take a bus to Phoenix. There are many cars from Jishou to Fenghuang. When you get off the train, you can go directly to the bus station and take a bus to Phoenix. The bus price is 6 yuan, and some of them are air-conditioned cars, vcd 10 yuan. Now there are some cars that can take passengers directly to the railway station to go to Phoenix. But only for the early train. If you don't know the way to the bus station, you can take a small bus to the bus station. At the railway station, you can take 4 yuan. Actually, you can walk a few more steps to 3 yuan. You can also spend 1 yuan to take a bus to Ganzhou first, and then take a bus from Ganzhou to Phoenix. Car price 3-4 yuan. The former runs safely and on time for half an hour; The latter is free and convenient, and you can arrange it yourself. There is a shuttle bus from Jishou to Fenghuang from 6 am to 20 pm.

Two: You can also get off the train from Huaihua and take a bus to Phoenix, but the bus is not as convenient as Jishou. Phoenix Bus Station runs twice a day, at noon 1 1 p.m. and afternoon 15 p.m. Although unpunctual, it is safe. 18 (passing by Phoenix), don't take the bus from Huaihua to Tongren. Not only is it not punctual, but it is also unsafe. (Bus prices can be reduced 15 to 20 yuan. ) Mayang takes CMB outside Huaihua West Bus Station. There are many trains, so you can leave when you are full. You can get to Mayang in an hour and a half, and then transfer to the bus at Phoenix. Mayang to Fenghuang, the early bus leaves at about 5: 30, arrives at 12 in the morning, runs every hour, at 1 50 in the afternoon, at 2: 40 in the afternoon and every 50 minutes. It takes about one and a half hours from Huaihua to Mayang, and one and a half hours from Mayang to Fenghuang.

Three: You can also take a bus from Tongren to Phoenix. There are fewer trains and the price is unknown. Because you can bargain by yourself, it is about 10 to 15 yuan. (Highly recommended from Jishou)

(6) Phoenix transportation: The most common mode of transportation is motorcycle tricycle, and 1 yuan in the city is enough, and it varies from 2 yuan or 5 yuan outside the city, depending on the length of the route.

(7) Handicrafts: batik and Miao silver ornaments. Batik can go to Fenghuang Old Street. There are many, but all-hand batik can go to Mr. Xiong's batik workshop, because the natural price of artworks is also very good. About Miao silver ornaments, you can go to three shops in Laojie. One is a tie-dye shop, most of which are new silver ornaments. But because it is handmade and can be customized, it is very good. Second, the tie-dyeing workshop in Zhang Guiying is mainly the Miao silver ornaments bought by tie-dyeing, which are also handmade. The third is Liuse Square, which mainly deals in old silver ornaments. All three can guarantee the quality of silver ornaments.

Native products: pine mushroom oil, canned mushrooms. If you want to buy it, you'd better bag it.

(8) Entertainment: You can go to Hongqiao. Hongqiao is often deserted at night. You can go alone, buy a cup of tea, slowly read the celebrity calligraphy and painting on it, and feel the charm of the phoenix.

1. The ticket price of Deutsche Airways has risen to 28 because there will be a Miao song and dance performance during the day, but you'd better go at 2: 30 pm, because that's the beginning of the performance and it will end at 3: 30.

2. Many people don't know what to see about Dehang Liusha Waterfall. If you walk there, you'd better walk a few more steps and look behind the quicksand waterfall, so that you can know what flying down and "quicksand" are.

3. You can buy a book to read after you arrive in Phoenix. Although it is a collection of many predecessors' achievements, it still allows you to pick up Phoenix's things quickly at present, which looks better because it is cheap, copied more and has a wide range. Let's have a look!

4. You can visit Chaoyang Palace. Tickets to 5 yuan, now the Phoenix Painting and Calligraphy Institute, are elegant in history, but the place is a little small, but you can go and see more if you like painting and calligraphy.

5. Hongqiao upstairs, a place to play petty bourgeoisie, is not bad either.

6. South Huashan National Forest Park, see Phoenix Mountain, and get tickets to 5 yuan.

7. Tianwang Temple, the highest god in Phoenix, is also the best preserved temple in Phoenix. Tickets are now in 3 yuan.

8. Go to the market.

9. Bookshelf Hall Shigu Village, Gouliang Miao Village

(9) Climate:

There is no cool day in summer and no frost in winter. The climate suits people. (It is best to come to Phoenix in autumn)

(10) Note: As long as you pay attention to your own health, you can prevent the acclimatization from affecting the tour plan.

(1 1) Festival: This year's "April 8th" Miao family jump flower festival was held in Fenghuang County. This is a traditional grand festival of the Miao nationality, and it is also a festival of ancestor worship, hero festival and get-together festival of the Miao nationality. On this day, people automatically gather in the predetermined place to dance and inspire, and bring flowers of folk songs and dances; Go up the knife ladder and drill the circle of fire. It's very lively.

Phoenix travels in April, and Miaojiashan River goes to market. Jiang Shan, 23 kilometers away from the ancient city, is a typical Miao township and the ruling center of the last Miao king in Xiangxi. On the eighth day of the third lunar month, Miao people in Jiang Shan Town will go to the market. On this day, Miao people from all over the country came here. The crowded market is noisy and crowded.

April 8 is a traditional festival of Miao people. It is the ancestor worship festival, hero festival and get-together festival of Miao nationality. On this day, people automatically gather in the predetermined place to dance and inspire, and bring flowers of folk songs and dances; Climb the ladder and drill the fire ring ... it's very lively, with tens of thousands of people. The scene was grand and spectacular, and people sang and danced all night.

The sixth day of the sixth lunar month is the traditional Miao Song Festival. On this day, young Miao men and women wear colorful clothes. Gathering in the music scene, or playing suona or playing flower drums, is more about heart-to-heart communication, expression of love, endorsement with songs, and marriage with songs, so the June 6th Song Festival is also an betrothal meeting for Miao men and women.

The Mid-Autumn Festival of the Miao nationality is one or two days after the beginning of the autumn of the Lunar New Year, and the Miao people in Huayuan celebrate the bumper harvest of grain. At the same time, it is also a festival for young Miao men and women to show themselves.
