As soon as I arrived in Phoenix, I was attracted by the historical sites here. The willows on both sides of the river bank are in harmony, the tourists at the bottom of the diaojiao building are like clouds, and the streets and lanes of Qingshiban seem to be back to ancient times. After we found the hotel, we went to the South China Gate to play, walked into the South China Gate and looked up. The dragons and phoenixes engraved on the ceiling were lifelike. Out of the South China Gate, we swam down the Tuojiang River. According to my father, Xiangxi is a place where ethnic minorities gather. Sure enough, on both sides of the street, we saw many handicrafts with ethnic characteristics on sale, such as Xiang embroidery and silver ornaments. There are also many national musical instruments, such as cucurbit silk and flute. In a musical instrument shop, an old man is playing "Bambusa in the moonlight" with cucurbit silk, and the beautiful and beautiful music makes people crazy. In the evening, the phoenix is more lively, the streets are crowded with people, and colorful lanterns are reflected on the Tuojiang River, making it more beautiful.
The next day, we went to Phoenix Square to play. At that time, the sun was blazing, and we were so hot that we bought a big watermelon on the side of the road. The watermelon there was sweet and rustling. Adults said that they had not eaten watermelon with this taste for many years. When we arrived at the square, the first thing we saw was the beautiful big phoenix. Look! Its beautiful big wings seem to cover the sky. Its appearance, beautiful, elegant, noble, dignified, how beautiful! Along the street next to the square, we went to Shen Congwen's former residence. With reverence for our ancestors, I bought a fan inscribed with Shen Congwen's words, which said, "Think as I do, understand me, think as I do, and know people."
Ginger candy is the most famous snack in Phoenix, and all kinds of time-honored shops are open at home. Instead of shouting and selling, they demonstrated their skills at the door. They wrap the whole piece of sugar around a pillar, and then pull it into strips. If there are tourists watching, they perform harder and let tourists taste it for free.
I'm reluctant to go back, and this beautiful historical and cultural city left a good impression on me. Goodbye, Tuojiang, I hope that when I see you again tomorrow, you will still be as beautiful as ever; Goodbye, Fenghuang Ancient City. I hope you will still be simple when you visit again.
