A full-journey guide starts from all these aspects! Only by properly managing all these elements throughout the whole trip can you have a very pleasant and perfect journey!
Fenghuang travel guide — transportation: A journey of a thousand li begins beneath your feet. No matter where we travel or go to handle affairs, transportation must be considered first. For a trip to Fenghuang, there are several options: self-driving tours, group tours, and independent travel. Here we will analyze the various transportation methods based on Fenghuang's own sixth position. There are three transportation points around Fenghuang — Tongren, Jishou, and Huaihua. Generally, visitors from the Chongqing direction first take a train to Tongren, then a bus to Fenghuang (fare about 30 yuan/person); visitors from the Wuhan direction generally first take a train to Huaihua, then a bus to Fenghuang (fare about 35 yuan/person); most others first take a train to Jishou, then a bus to Fenghuang (fare 15 yuan/person); others can also fly to Zhangjiajie or fly to Tongren Airport and then take a bus to Fenghuang. Train ticket and flight ticket inquiries.
Fenghuang travel guide — food: Food is the first necessity of the people. No matter where we travel, we cannot do without eating. Hehe, Fenghuang's food features spicy and sour flavors. Of course, if you tell the waiter when ordering, everything will be OK. There are many specialty dishes; blood cake duck (xueba ya) is generally a must-eat dish! If you're not afraid of sourness, you can buy some pickled radish from street stalls. This is just the food inside the ancient town. When you get to the Miao villages, the food is different — country cured meat, which here is truly country cured meat, plus firewood-cooked rice, glutinous rice wine, and so on! Fenghuang cuisine.
Fenghuang travel guide — accommodation: Accommodation is very important. I won't say much here about why it's important. Fenghuang's accommodation is a hard thing to grasp. Why do I say that? Market instability, I suppose. When there are many tourists, room prices can be frighteningly expensive; in the off-season, they can be so low they make you want to laugh! I won't say much about prices here. Fenghuang has several types of accommodation — stilt-house-style guesthouses, old-street guesthouses, star-rated hotels, and new-town hotels. Stilt houses are located by the Tuo River; open the room window and you face the Tuo River water — very pleasant! But expensive! Old-street guesthouses are on Fenghuang's old-town streets. The facilities are decent and fairly hygienic, and the prices are suitable, but they don't have the pleasant riverside feel of the stilt houses! Star-rated hotels: Fenghuang doesn't have many star-rated hotels. Facilities and such are beyond reproach, but compared with old-street guesthouses they are a bit more expensive. New-town hotels: facilities are okay, prices are okay too, but the location is a bit of a walk from the ancient town! Friendly reminder: Fenghuang hotels.
Fenghuang travel guide — activities: Finally we've come to our main topic. What was said earlier is all the basic foundation of the itinerary. Now we come to the purpose of our Fenghuang trip. Fenghuang's "activities" are also Fenghuang's attractions. Fenghuang attractions fall into three categories: ancient-town attractions, namely the Nine Scenic Spots of Fenghuang (Shen Congwen's Former Residence, Xiong Xiling's Former Residence, Yang Family Ancestral Hall, East Gate Tower, Tuo River Boating, Wanshou Palace, Chongde Hall, Chen Baozhen's Old Residence, Rainbow Bridge), which can be expanded to the Eleven Scenic Spots of Fenghuang (Southern Great Wall, Qiliang Cave); Miao villages: Shanjiang Miao Village, Goulian Miao Village, Miao People's Valley, Xianglu Mountain, and so on; others: Ximen Gorge Rafting, Peach Blossom Island, and so on. Fenghuang attraction tickets.
Fenghuang travel guide — shopping: Every place we visit, we want to buy some souvenirs and specialty items to bring home and share with family. What are Fenghuang's specialties? Ginger candy, kiwi fruit, blood cake duck, Miao clothing, Miao silver jewelry, cured meat, Miao sister wine, and so on! Fenghuang specialty products.
