Xiangxi, although I have been to several times to Phoenix Ancient Town to twice, but because of the walk in a hurry, Hibiscus Town is just passing through. Have always felt that such a quiet town is suitable for no trivialities pestered with a meager baggage and the most plentiful self to live quietly for a period of time, have been yearning, finally realized.
Hibiscus Town, also known as Wangcun, is an ancient town with a history of more than 2,000 years, with a magnificent waterfall shuttling through it, also known as "hanging on the waterfalls of the millennium town" The movie "Hibiscus Town," starring Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing, was filmed here, and renamed "Hibiscus Town. "? Furong Town has not been over-commercialized, and everywhere in the ancient town still retains its unique cultural atmosphere, with ancient Tujia footstools, stepped on shiny green stone alleys, and shocking waterfalls, all of which make people forget to come back to the town.
Transportation routes:
Changde Bus Terminal - Yongshun 4 1/2 hours fare 85 yuan, turn green small bus Yongshun - Furong town 100 minutes fare 25 yuan, get off and then turn to a small bus to the Triangle of the Ping fare 2 yuan (why is it said to be a small bus, it is really not like a bus, under the small bus on the lookout for a car, really did not see it, ask the small hotel to find the car, and then the small bus, and then the small bus, the small bus, the small bus, the small bus, the small bus, the small bus, the small bus. really did not see it asked the owner of the small hotel, so the owner pointed to the small bus in front of me and said: "No, the green one," I realized that before around it in the circle, ah is not a green okay)
Accommodation:
In advance where to book a good encounter with the Youth Hostel, the town's only hostel, to the The triangular ping open Baidu map, in the town of wells in the alleys turn left and right to the neighborhood, because there is no signboard or wait until the boss to pick me up. To come to Furong town partners broad to live here (Xiangxi Furong town meet youth hostel bed room 35 yuan, tent room 30 yuan, the boss chatty very good)
Furong Town Day:1
The hostel is an apartment house, on the second floor, the entire hostel only two people and I and the boss, he went to the old town stalls, left the key to me, let me feel free to do as you please, feel at ease as at home.
The boss is also a backpacker, called Shunzi, traveled to many places. People are super good, very enthusiastic initiative to talk to me into the old town what time to escape the ticket and so on haha. Is also a very heart handsome pot, a person to take care of the hostel clean and orderly, the duvet cover is my favorite dolphin pattern, turn off the lights only to find the ceiling plastered with glow-in-the-dark stars and the moon, looking at all of this will always be unconsciously upward very cozy and let a person feel the warmth to help me realize a small dream ah, a kind of sleep under the starry sky of the sense of immediacy hahaha, the Shun Zi is a warm and affectionate cute!
The message said that in his dream there is a youth hostel of his own. But Furong town is very secluded, although it is the only youth hostel in the town, because there are few tourists, also perennial business is not good, in order to maintain this dream, Shunzi also set up stalls in the town to play archery, sell tambourine and some musical instruments. It's cool to be a person who runs on both sides of the street, who is serious about life and has a goal to strive for. Unfortunately, this person is very slow to heat up, the nature of the quiet, and all day lying in bed in the house room to see the stars and moon, Shun Zi two stores also have to be busy, has been with him nothing to communicate.
Smell this quiet and come.
Furong Town Day: 2
A sleep to wake up naturally is 11 o'clock in the morning, although early in the morning the children in the alley laughing and playing and the voice of the mothers pulling the voice of the Tujia dialect I do not understand the sound of the conversation disturbed me, but fortunately, the quilt pulled over the head and then can sleep. I still haven't seen Junko all day, maybe I got up late. At noon, the Meituan takeout evening soak brought hot and sour noodles, eat the snacks in the backpack, but also for the first time in one day in one breath will be Gu Long's a martial arts novel finished, said two words: afternoon to the window of the alleyway is still playing in the children greeted "Hey, children"; and the takeaway boy said "Thanks."
Furong Town Day:3
Despite the fact that there were no children's playfulness and quiet on Monday morning, I still woke up early, and wanted to sleep well for a few days, and I always go to bed early and get up early naturally when I'm on the road, and I enjoy this rhythm of life. Clean and large girls eight room, a person live up more or less a little afraid, although the house full of stars and the moon, the middle of the night or the flashlight will be opened to the dawn.
Every time you finish reading a good book, you will always be fascinated for some time, and it is a daytime of a dead house lying on the bed thinking about the hero in Gu Long's book as lonely and faithful as a wolf walking alone, and wanting to be like him with no ties and harboring a heart of a bare heart to travel to the ends of the earth.
Evening 6 o'clock departure, with the ancient town of the ticket strategy map, Shun Zi said before 7:00 in the morning, after 6:00 pm, no one check the ticket, into the pour when you can, according to the roadmap of the ticket bypassing the checking of the entrance to the broad to. Walking the path to the small waterfall day slowly dark down quite scary, no night light, every time this time the brain outlines a variety of horror movies and thriller scenes, mysterious Xiangxi, empty mountain trails, it is the movie sneaky appearances excellent background, so, a turn to run back
Meet the red haze reflecting full of the western sky, strolling idly in the ancient streets, square dance continues to develop, has become a The unique folk art, rooted in the life of the masses of society, the lotus square of the aunts happy to stretch to the neat dance; when I came late, suddenly want to go to shoot the lotus, the lotus pool has been full of depressed scene, even the lotus leaves have begun to gradually decayed.
Local specialties shaped like chili pepper rice tofu; August melon, large 10 yuan small 8 yuan, bargained for 5 yuan to buy a not too small, quite tasty
Furong Town Day: 4
Quiet and deep in the old town in the middle of the night came bursts of cries, wake up and calm down to find that it is a small child crying, not so scary to open the lights is still sleepless, so sex! Wake up early to get a glimpse of the face of the ancient town has not awakened. 6:30 departure to take the escape route, although not very far, the day is not yet all bright, walking in the mountains on the trail is still creepy, but fortunately on the way to the uncle early sitting by the riverside fishing, there are grannies in the vegetable garden weeding, gave me the courage to move forward. When I entered the old town, I sat by the river, took pictures of the thousand-year-old town hanging over the waterfall, and ate some dry food. A little later, the residents are getting up one after another, not long after the river came the sound of banging clothes, so the day began. Stroll through the Furong town completely spend no more than half a day, I still stroll da three laps, a circle to take pictures, two circles slowly around.
All the way to the local conditions
The more I traveled, the more I liked to stay at home, and the more people I saw, the more I liked the children. In Furong Town, half of the four days is spent in the house, to this lonely village, stepping on the green stone alley, pedestrians, fresh air, restless heart also quiet down, as if this is the Tao Yuanming pen "paradise", the outside world of the fight and here is isolated from a flurry of disturbances.
Unfinished ...... next stop, Hua Yuan County, Chapangxiang ancient town.
