If you are not a student, and the old city of these residential attractions are not very interested in, then escape the ticket!
As long as you are taking a regular line bus (Jishou, Tongren, Huaihua and other directions), are to the Phoenix New City North Bus Station (from the ancient city and about 10 minutes drive), the most convenient is to get out of the car there is a 1A bus ride to the county people's hospital, where there is a green-colored sightseeing tour buses can be directly to the Hongqiao, the Hongqiao belongs to the region of the ancient city, but here do not check the ticket Oh! The first thing you need to do is to get to the top of the stairs and get out of the way! Here is also the best way to escape the ticket into the old city, the success rate of 99%!
1: East Gate City Tower check point, the check point in this building is almost virtually null and void, because in the entry of the gate before the left and right side of the road, respectively, the left side of the road is accessible to the ancient city area of the south side of the street, the right side of the road is accessible to the ancient city of the north side of the street, the street from the north side of the north side of the street can be walked all the way to the north gate dock jumping rock.
2: is the old camp whistle bar street alley and phoenix bridge bridge junction place, in this place was originally a ticket point, the author from here through the N times never saw a ticket inspector in this ticket, so you can be in the distance from the ticket inspector 5 meters away from the place of ignoring the pass, want to go which way to go which way to go.
3: West Gate City Tower ticket point, also known as the West Gate in the Phoenix population, here to escape the ticket is also very simple, that is, about 20 meters before entering the gate of the city, there is a path on the right hand side to enter the old city.
4: are two small bridges connecting Hongqiao Middle Road and Nanbian Street. These two small bridges may not be known to the average tourist. Is in the Hongqiao Middle Road on the west side of a lot of restaurants and restaurants between the buildings of the alley, there are two small bridges to the south side of the street, in these two checkpoints I have never seen the checkers in.
5: Nanhuamen ticketing point is considered to be more stringent check a point, I have been 3 this through here, of which there are 2 this was questioned, but they were all by the author to work in the old city as a reason to pass.
Three, Phoenix Ancient City accommodation options
1. The first day, no matter when you arrive in Phoenix, first find a place to live is the most important. Phoenix accommodation is divided into three grades, three areas. It is very good to plan.
The first grade --- star hotel pass. heh heh heh heh, do not need me to explain it. In the online look at the guide friends may not spend five hundred dollars to live in the hotel.
The second grade ----- Tuojiang River side of the hotel, these hotels next to the Tuojiang River, picturesque, comfortable and safe. Is the first choice of most people. Everyone from the north of the city bus station to take a bus all the way in Nanhuamen get off you can see the Tuo River. Along the Tuojiang River slowly find it, have a look at the comfortable on the despite live it. High season, weekend riverfront room in about one hundred and fifty, outside the weekend about one hundred.
The third grade, is the ancient city of Phoenix is not by the river inn. Large, generally in the back of the riverside inn a building. Conditions are a little worse, the price is halved, is the first choice of students and friends.
Then say three areas,
The first area is the ancient city inside the inn, convenient transportation, beautiful scenery, especially the night view is fascinating. The disadvantage is that there are more bars, a little noisy at night. Take a bus all the way to Nanhuamen get off to reach (if there is a need to escape the students best not to get off here, hustling aunt is too much).
The second area is Huilongge District, playing, from Hongqiao down. You can also take a taxi to get off at the gas station in Leopard's Bay and take your time to look for it. Personally, I think the natural scenery here is the most beautiful. Advantages are quiet and beautiful nature. Eat special snacks relatively more, eat basically have to walk about 5 minutes to Hongqiao or in the farm boat dock near the restaurant.
The third is the area is the Golden Home. That is, Nanhuamen upstream, not recommended, because most of the tour group people live. Noisy and unusual, with the vegetable market in general.
To be clear is the Phoenix inn room fee is not included in the air conditioning. Generally add air conditioning to fifteen to twenty dollars, we do not get angry ah. When I traveled to Guilin when I was in college, the bus over there was one dollar and thirty cents per person. It was a lot more awesome than that.
Four, touring Phoenix and booking discounted tickets
Generally go to Phoenix to play about 3 days.
The first day: arrived at the rest of the free stroll through the old city, the night can see the bonfire party.
The second day: a day trip to the Miao Village, see the night scene.
Third day: shopping for souvenirs and specialties for the return trip.
Day 1
Fenghuang Ancient City ticket after April 10, 2013 includes nine scenic spots of the ancient city as well as Nanhuashan. There are Shen Congwen's former residence, the former residence of the Premier of the Ming State Xiong Xiling, the Ancient City Museum, Tuojiang River rafting, Wanshou Palace and so on. Ticket price of 148, interested in history and culture of friends can go to see, the general tour group to go more, student tickets do not include Tuojiang river rafting is 20 yuan per person, need to add 15 yuan rafting can be.
Don't be idle at night, be sure to check out the Phoenix bonfire party, this is worth a look, which is concentrated in the essence of western Hunan culture. There are Miao songs and dances, stunts (heart disease patients please consider carefully) and the mysterious Xiangxi zombie show. It usually starts at eight o'clock and goes to ten o'clock at night. Here's a tip for buying tickets. First of all, you can't go to the ticket office to buy tickets by yourself. The original price of the sky Phoenix bonfire party tickets is 218. rain and wind Miaojiang Phoenix original price of 158. (Only recommend these two, the other is the cottage) to buy their own is the original price, no less. The big sister of the guest is a lot, but do not recommend with them to answer, just say I have been on the perfunctory pass. Innkeeper will also sell tickets to you, but are the road goods, mostly by the door position. To recommend a good reputation in Phoenix Taobao booking agency - Huilongge free travel club. Taobao cheaper, plus the store cares more about the service, relatively guaranteed some. You can also contact the club on the Internet Baidu. Find him to give you booking tickets, the world Phoenix tickets 70, wind and rain Miaojiang evening party 35. children can be exempted from the ticket. You can also send a hand-drawn map of the ancient city. (Phoenix all tickets can find him, are more than 50% discount. Think of this year to go to Huangguoshu Falls, one hundred and eight tickets plus fifty dollars of tickets. Really heartbreaking, you say Guizhou people how not to carry out the booking business.
After watching the party has been ten o'clock, students can go to the barbecue street to enjoy the Phoenix barbecue. This is also a must-see attraction ah, the specific location in the new road, go to see the world of Phoenix evening party one out of the door can see, recommended Yang family barbecue and big oligo belly. It is a large stall-style barbecue stall. There is no rip-off here, the flavor is authentic. Suggested to order two handfuls of beef skewers, butter is the most delicious and tasty. Have to taste it. Then there is the grilled fern melon is very delicious. Don't order any hot pot, and roast chicken and duck or something. Two people fifty dollars can eat a full. Drinks do not buy in the eating place, the back of the stalls have a lot of kiosks, drinks and drinks are bought in the kiosk.
The second day
The second day is recommended to go to the Miao village to see, because Phoenix is Miao Han mixed. Miao accounted for the majority, to go to the Miao village to appreciate the Miao people is also an essential part of life experience. In the past, you could take a shuttle bus to get in, but now the government has set up a rural tourism company. Now, the government has set up a rural tour company and you have to buy a ticket to get in. But also do the standardized, buy a ticket after the whole tour guide accompanied by a tourist bus transportation. There is also a meal in the Miao feast inside the cottage. Recommended here Miao Wangcheng Miao Village. This village is actually in the territory of Guizhou, is the largest Miao village around, but the distance is not very far, within an hour by car. Listed ticket price of 168, looking for bookings do not have to be so much. People come in to choose formal travel reception, free travel club is good. To go to the Miao village good idea is eight thirty on the car to leave, four or five o'clock in the afternoon back to the city, basically a day time are used in the exchange of feelings with the brother ethnic groups above. The Miao girls are very passionate and unrestrained, oh, with a boyfriend or husband students please go to the market to buy a dog chain to bring in case of emergency.
The night can seriously look at the night view of Phoenix, Phoenix night scenery is really beautiful, beautiful I can not use the computer words to describe. I just tell you to watch it carefully at those locations.
Recommended location one, the north gate of the city building of the riverside. Recommendation index three stars.
Recommended location two, Hongqiao, recommended index four stars. The most beautiful five-star viewing location is the Huilongge riverside. Specific routes to carry forward the spirit of asking for directions carefully to find, is not good to find is the most classic. From the Hongqiao Nanhuashan this side down the Hongqiao, along the bar down the street you will see a temple on the right. Walk fifty meters further, the left side of some of the path to the river although very small and dark, but despite walking down. Walk down you will see the most beautiful scenery of Phoenix. Sit by the river and make a good vow of love to the person next to you. If you haven't confessed your love, you should write a poem to show your love. This place is the place where I sang (courage) with my favorite girl! There is a beautiful woman in the north who is absolutely independent. Once you look at the city, then you look at the country. I would rather not know, pouring the city and the country, a good man is hard to get again. I hope that later students can continue to write my year's glory.
Third day
It is estimated that most of the students to return to the bar, so there is no more place to recommend. There's a nunnery in Phoenix called Junti I that's worth a visit. This is the only fully preserved Buddhist temple in the history of Phoenix, with a long history and deep culture. It may be the last or the only one in China born in a four-star tourist attractions and did not rely on burning incense to worship Buddha to earn money in the Pure Land! Here despise the Shaolin Temple. Whether one believes in Buddhism or not, one can visit the temples and halls inside. To the merit box inside the five ten dollars casually with a little money, and the host to discuss with her old man to allow you to enter the back of the mountain to visit, which has a famous painter Huang Yongyu old students of the mural. And then understand the eighteen layers of hell in the end what, you will not be false, oh.
Hui Long Excellency tour of Shen Congwen cemetery is also to Phoenix can not go to a place, after the Cuicui building, has been walking along the alley, the roadside poles numbered "Shen Congwen cemetery" words, so along the poles numbered to go, listening to the Tao Park, Shen Congwen cemetery to the. Here the shade of the sun, the platform around the tombstone, repair is very neat and fine. The quiet of the mountains can still make you feel the sound of water flowing. At this moment, it seems to be able to touch the real phoenix. Master of the cemetery just in its ashes on the flat ground set up a tombstone, do not pay attention is not easy to find. The tombstone reads, "Think according to me, can understand me; think according to me, can recognize people." No matter how much you stay out, home and hometown are always the last harbor. It may be precisely for this reason that Shen Congwen entrusted his own back to the Tuojiang River and Listening to the Tao Mountain. Like the inscription on the monument, Huang Yongyu's big characters: "A soldier to die on the battlefield, is to return to his hometown." It sounds both generous and tragic, but also gentle and delicate.
Fifth, Phoenix specialties, ginger candy, duck, silverware recommended.
(1) Specialties, ginger candy, blood duck, silverware.
The ginger candy is cheap, ten dollars for four packets, twenty dollars for a packet of money there. If you don't want to spend money you can taste it for free one by one, and then leave a little bit from your mouth, and you can definitely leave one or two pounds to take back after tasting it in all the stores. I'm sure. Recommended stores, Zhang's, Jia's can be. The key to taste, delicious and then buy.
Blood Poop Duck, Phoenix is the most famous only two, Phoenix Legends and Ah Niu Blood Poop Duck. Location in the ancient city museum across the street, Zhu Rongji inscription (Phoenix), but the price is also relatively expensive.
Silverware, a little expensive oh. Has not been so cheap as before, a good point to more than ten dollars a gram. Recommended back to the Dragon Court Ancient Street of the Dragon Court silver, their family from Xianfeng years in Phoenix store, now more than a hundred years, to go to the Miao Village when some tour guides will also recommend some other expensive silver jewelry stores, do not impulse spending Oh, remember to compare more, you know.
(2) snacks
Phoenix snacks are not much, I mean the Phoenix local authentic snacks, I ate from the snacks to the big kind.
The first is fried crab, eaten hairy crab friends can eat. This small crab is basically all hard shell, although there is no meat but fried but very fragrant. Two dollars a string.
The second is the Miao family social rice, this 5 dollars a copy, I think the history is very long, very representative of Phoenix's traditional snacks.
The third is glutinous rice sour chili cubes, which is the favorite of the Miao people. Only Phoenix has it in the whole country.
Six, Phoenix Ancient City to eat restaurant recommendations
Recommended to the Phoenix people eating place to go. The ancient city center near the Hongqiao do not consider, this you know, rent is expensive, coupled with a small portion, part of the ancient city restaurant rip-off is not general. Take the map along the ancient street of Huilongge to the direction of Shen Congwen cemetery to the farm boat dock there. There is a Miao Mountain Folk Restaurant, per capita consumption of 25-35 yuan, with farmhouse rapeseed oil, country rice, you can site inspection, ordering food and free glutinous rice wine tasting, Miao sour radish giveaway. If you live in the ancient street of Huilongge or the area of Shawan, or if you go to take a farm boat, it is recommended to taste it. Here we recommend that you order some money-saving, tasty, and inexpensive Miao specialties, ordering food usually order small portions.
1, secret Hmong vegetables tofu, small hot pot, fragrant, and rice.
2, small portion of suckling pig hot pot, fried with citrus leaves, the flavor is also very special.
3, spring and summer to come can order tsubaki wood sprouts scrambled eggs. Not expensive, delicious.
4, small portion of blood poop duck or cassoulet.
5, fir mushroom fried meat, this is considered a very special.
6, sour cabbage and tofu soup. Order this for the soup.
7, fern in Phoenix is pure mountain wild vegetables, no artificial cultivation, do not have to worry about triple nitrile amine and so on. You can order a variety of fern dishes. These dishes are cheap and are the most Miao characteristics of the local cuisine, ten dollars or so a, save money, delicious, not expensive, after dinner by the way you can go to listen to the park to pay homage to Mr. Shen Congwen, walking also helps digestion. If you live in the upper reaches, it is recommended that you consider the small restaurant on Orange Park Road or the food street across from the county government, both are good choices.
Seven, Phoenix Ancient City travel notes, anti-fraud slaughter
In Phoenix Ancient City, mandatory consumption and cheating money is still very little, did not come across, there are singing, praying, thieves are still there, we look after their own belongings;
Suggestions: consumption in the ancient city, a look, two ask clearly, three cut prices. Note: burning incense, massage services.
1. ride traps; don't believe in cheap attractions, tickets, etc.
2. soliciting traps: the mouth is very good at talking, be careful to be able to say and motorcycle soliciting (especially self-driving) on the road do not easily believe that solicitors and drivers, they must first understand. The best way to deal with those hustlers is to ignore them. Because you may think that if you talk to them well, they will be good to you, which you are completely wrong, if you once do not listen to their arrangements, the fierce look will be exposed. It's not once or twice that this has happened in Phoenix.
3. Pornography trap: Be clean.
4. Attractions traps: read more tips and make good preparations.
5. free of charge do not think to go: for example, you can receive the amulet, casually press a little incense money or not press any, do not force casually give a little incense money the latter do not give any. Remind everyone if you are not strong-willed do not go in, or you must lose money.
Eight, Phoenix Ancient City, wearing Miao clothing precautions
Photo in Phoenix on the Tuojiang River wearing Miao dress is one of the characteristics of the ancient city, every time to Phoenix Ancient City, tourists will wear Miao dress to take a picture to feel the next Miao style, to stay a good memory. Although it is a beautiful thing often have a lot of unpleasant things happen, is because of the photo before not say clearly lead to unpleasant happenings.
Suggestion 1: ask the Miao clothing fee, many careless tourists are directly asked how much money a photo, did not ask the clothing to money, the results of the checkout time, clothing each set of how much more how much money, when it is dumb!
Suggestion 2: when taking pictures they will say so so better, is to let you pose more modeling, let them shoot, the results of the wash when a whole lot of washing, washing less they also say that you are cheap and so on, the rule of thumb: want to keep a few more photos on the photo, just want to keep a souvenir on the less photo.
Suggestion three: they quote ambiguous, this need to pay attention to, generally they quote is 10 yuan two, you can talk about 10 yuan three, but they give you say 10 yuan three is a very small very small, and in the washing of photographs when they say what no small photo paper and so on, and so on, the purpose is to want you to wash the big paper, so you have to increase the money, and the results of the 10 yuan, 20 yuan, and so on, and so on, and so forth. There are even 50 a piece. Often be slaughtered by people who do not know.
