Afternoon: After lunch, drive through the "thousand-year ancient battlefield" Baizhang Gorge to exit the scenic area: the gorge is named because there are stone cliffs nearly one hundred zhang high piercing the clouds, too high to look up at.

Drive to Fenghuang Ancient Town (about 4 hours): enjoy Xiangxi folk customs along the way.
