The weather in Wang Miao.
The following is a travel guide for Phoenix, covering transportation, accommodation, scenic spots, food, special food and matters needing attention.
Fenghuang Ancient City Travel Guide-Transportation
When going to Phoenix, the first thing that comes to mind is traffic. Everyone hopes to reach the ancient city of Phoenix by the simplest and safest means of transportation. Phoenix is a county seat, half an ancient city (Fenghuang Ancient City) and half a new city. Located in Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province, there is no railway station and airport in the county.
Here are the ways to get to Phoenix by car, train and plane:
First of all, cars
Because there is no train or airport in Phoenix at present, many guests choose Changsha for transit. Regardless of how convenient the traffic is in Changsha and how complete the supporting facilities are, at least, with the opening of the expressway from Changsha to Fenghuang (it should be mentioned here that the scenery on both sides of the expressway is very good, which can be called the most beautiful expressway in Hunan), the bus from Changsha to Fenghuang is still very convenient.
At the same time, 20 12 opened a number of direct buses, which are fast and greatly convenient for tourists.
1, Changsha West Bus Station: there are four buses every day, and the departure time is 8: 40, 10: 40, 15: 30, 17: 30. Reference fare: 140 yuan/person, round trip to 280 yuan/person.
2. Changsha South Bus Station: There are two buses to Fenghuang Bus Station every day, leaving at 9:30, 15:30. Reference fare: 140 yuan/person, round trip to 280 yuan/person.
3, Changsha Phoenix Free Travel: Round trip on any number of days, starting from Changsha Railway Station and arriving in Fenghuang County twice a day. The departure time of Changsha Railway Station: 7:30, 14:30, if the Golden Week will increase the frequency. The departure time of Phoenix returning to Changsha: 12:00, 14:00. This is a tourist bus. Some people recommend high-priced attractions on the bus. You can listen to it. Just don't buy it. This is not mandatory. Generally, foreign quotations are returned to 200 yuan/person, one way 120 yuan/person. Of course, this kind also has an inherent price. Telephone reservations should be confirmed one day in advance. Holiday prices fluctuate.
Second, the train
Phoenix has no railway station, and there are three railway stations around it: Jishou, Huaihua and Tongren.
Because there are many trains on the internet, it is also very convenient to check, so I won't explain it here. I mainly talk about how to get to the ancient city of Fenghuang by bus after arriving at the above three railway stations.
This is very important! Because if you are not careful, you will be slaughtered and cheated, so that you will lose your mood and wallet before you get to the ancient city. These three railway stations all have direct buses to Phoenix, which is very convenient to take. Don't trust social vehicles such as taxis and private cars. Social vehicles often add money halfway, dump passengers, force high-priced tickets, and even extort money. Choosing regular bus is the guarantee of travel safety.
1. How can I get to Phoenix at Jishou Railway Station?
① Turn left at the railway station exit180m, and arrive at Jishou North Bus Station. The buses here in 23 yuan usually wait until they are full, but guests who get off a train can fill a car. ② Take a taxi outside the railway station (5 yuan/car, please negotiate the price in advance to avoid wrangling) and take a bus to Jishou South Bus Station to Fenghuang, 22 yuan/person, every 20 minutes. Full speed, 80 minutes.
2. How to get to Phoenix from Huaihua Railway Station?
Take a taxi from Huaihua Railway Station (5 yuan/car, please inform the price in advance) to Huaihua West Bus Station, and take a bus to Fenghuang at Huaihua West Bus Station. The fare is 40 yuan. Full speed, 60 minutes.
3. How can I get to Phoenix from Tongren Railway Station?
Tongren Railway Station Square is very big. There is a bus stop across the street in front of the square, and there is a direct bus to Phoenix. Ticket price: 22 yuan/person, 60 minutes to Phoenix.
Third, the plane.
At present, there is no airport in Phoenix. Friends who come by plane usually go to Changsha or Tongren first, and then transfer to Phoenix by bus.
Fenghuang Ancient City Travel Guide-Accommodation
There are all kinds of hotels in Phoenix. How can I find an inexpensive, clean and safe hotel in the center of the ancient city scenic spot? Maybe this question stumped many friends. In short, the right is the best.
There are three kinds of accommodation in Phoenix:
First, Xincheng Hotel
Fenghuang county is divided into ancient city and new city. Generally speaking, Phoenix refers to the ancient city of Phoenix. Due to the development of tourism in recent years, many hotels have been built in Xincheng. For example, Nanhua Road, Juyuan Road and Fenghuang Road, the hotel prices in these places are around 200 yuan/night, and the hardware facilities are relatively good. However, because it takes more than 20 minutes to walk to the ancient city, most of them are guests of various groups, and few individual guests stay in the hotel. Many people who have been to Phoenix say, "If you don't live in Phoenix, go to Phoenix." . So few guests choose hotels.
Second, the ancient city inn
The ancient city area refers to the area within the four gates of East Gate, South Gate, West Gate and North Gate. There used to be a fence around it, but for historical reasons, now there is only the section from the East Gate to the North Gate Tower. The price of the inn in the ancient city is not expensive, with peak season 100 yuan/night and low season/night in 60 yuan. Phoenix tourism has developed for so many years, and the facilities of these inns have kept up with the requirements of the guests. There are independent bathrooms, all-day hot water, digital TV and air conditioning, and the conditions are relatively clean and hygienic. Because it is a family hotel, there is no need to worry about safety. The inn in the ancient city has a good location, and it is convenient to go out to visit Shiban Street, snacks, specialties, restaurants and bars. And it is surrounded by core scenic spots, so even lazy people will find it convenient to live in the ancient city. Most importantly, the ancient city is the real phoenix. Recommend Qinghui Inn.
Diaojiaolou inn
The real diaojiao building is quite distinctive, but now the so-called diaojiao building is a modern house covered with a layer of wood. Because the maintenance cost of real diaojiao building is too high, and it is not insect-proof, sound-proof and moisture-proof. Diaojiaolou is generally operated by foreigners, and the accommodation price will be relatively high, which is generally about 3-5 times that of the old city. Because it is close to the river, you can see the Tuojiang River, and the line of sight is better. As long as you live in the ancient city, you can go to Phoenix, because most of the time you will wander around the ancient city, see scenic spots, eat snacks and join in the fun.
Holiday accommodation
Speaking of holidays, the biggest increase in Phoenix is probably accommodation. It is not surprising that some hotels along the river have increased their prices tenfold. This is Phoenix, and the accommodation price fluctuates at any time.
Be sure to book a room online on holidays, because Phoenix is famous for its small town, so you have to find a high-priced room temporarily or you don't have a room you like. You can book a room directly from the innkeeper, which is safer. It is generally necessary to pay a deposit in advance, and the amount of the deposit varies from inn to inn. It is suggested that the general wage class and student party live in the ancient city, which is relatively affordable and convenient to play.
In fact, Phoenix has different scenery every season, and students with relaxed time don't have to come for holidays. Especially when it snows in winter and there are few tourists, the ancient city is covered with a layer of white makeup and the picture is really beautiful. And it costs less to come to Phoenix in the off-season.
A very important reminder:
For the need of environmental protection, the government requires the accommodation industry not to provide disposable toiletries.
(2) The air-conditioning fee for Phoenix accommodation is calculated separately, which is generally one night in 20 yuan.
(3) One-night accommodation in 30 yuan was circulated on the Internet n years ago, but now it can only be regarded as a legend. Now it's 20 13.
4 inns generally have WIFI, remember to ask the store's main password.
There are many alleys in Phoenix. Remember the way back to the inn when you go out to play.
⑥ The inn usually closes before twelve o'clock at night, and you can call the door when you come back late.
Fenghuang ancient city travel guide-scenic spots
Traveling abroad, how to spend the least money and play more and better scenic spots is a science.
Phoenix is a small county. Due to the change of policies and the change of tourism market, the list of scenic spots and ticket prices are constantly changing. Now the latest scenic spot information is organized into the following contents. If there is any mistake, the publicity of the scenic spot shall prevail.
I. Nine Scenes of the Ancient City
From April 20 18 13, the ancient city of Fenghuang was changed from the previous scenic spot charge to the scenic spot charge, that is, there were only 9 scenic spots in the ancient city that needed to be charged before, and no scenic spots were visited in the ancient city for free. Now, no matter whether you see the scenic spots or not, you have to buy tickets to enter the scenic spots. Adult price 148 yuan, student ID 20 yuan (including 8 scenic spots in the ancient city, boating on the Tuojiang River is required 15 yuan). These nine scenic spots are all in the ancient city and can be visited in two hours.
Second, the Great Wall in the south.
Ticket price, 45 yuan. The South Great Wall was built in the thirty-third year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1554) and completed in the third year of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1622). The Great Wall starts from Tingzi Pass, which borders Tongren in the south, and ends at Magpie Camp in Jishou in the north. Most of it passes through the territory of Fenghuang County, and is called "Wan Li Wall in Miaojiang", which is one of the huge ancient buildings in the history of China. It takes 30 minutes by car. It is not recommended to go to the South Great Wall alone. You can have a look on the way to Miao Village.
Third, Qi Liangdong
The fare is 60, and the student ID card is 30 yuan. There are mountains in Qiliang Cave, and there are holes in the mountains, which are connected. It is composed of all kinds of stalagmites, stone pillars and stalactites, which form a magnificent picture. 20 minutes by car from the ancient city and 2 hours in the cave.
Fourth, Miao village
There are many Miao villages in Phoenix, and the scenery is also quite good, mainly at affordable prices. The better ones are Jiang Shan, Miaoren Valley and Tianlong Miaoyun. I don't recommend going to Miao Village myself. It is not convenient to take public transportation and eat, and it is not easy to find scenic spots. General inns will provide routes, and the price is relatively affordable. Tianlong Gorge is one of the most famous canyons in Phoenix. There are many waterfalls that are worth visiting. The main attractions are the aerial plank road built along the cliff, the first-line waterfall and the great waterfall at the top of the mountain, which is very pleasant. Generally, Miao Village carpools all day. At noon, you can eat Miao family meals on the spot and learn a few simple Miao languages. Usually pick it up at the inn around 08:30 in the morning and return to the ancient city around 16:00 in the afternoon. Remember to sign up at the inn, there are too many tourist traps outside, and there is no security guarantee.
Five, bonfire party
At present, there are charming Phoenix, Dream Tuojiang, Peach Blossom Island and Fudi Cave. The bigger parties are Peach Blossom Island and Charming Phoenix. The actual price is around 40-60, and the quotation is 180. The average team price is slightly higher. The blessed land is in the cave, and the scene is not big. The performances are basically the same, for example, some witchcraft cultures in Xiangxi, such as going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire, driving corpses in Xiangxi, crying and marrying, and Maogusi. , and some interactive programs. The performance time is generally 2 hours, 19:30-2 1:30.
Sixth, the scenic spots around Phoenix.
Zhangjiajie, Wang Miao furong town, Fan Jingshan, Dehang Miao Village, Aizhai Bridge, etc. General inns and hotels provide routes. Generally, the scenic spots in Riverside Inn will be slightly more expensive, while the scenic spots in Gucheng Inn will be relatively lower. In particular, the separation of Phoenix to Zhangjiajie is very affordable and convenient. If you want to go to Zhangjiajie and Phoenix, you are advised to go to Phoenix first.
Seven, the phoenix club
Going to the market, Phoenix calls it "going to the market". On the day of the fair, there are not only rich agricultural products, but also authentic handicrafts and colorful national costumes can be found at any time. More importantly, as long as you pay attention, you can also find many Hmong MM, and local young men and women have to catch up with "sideline" when they go to the market. This is a way for them to date and fall in love, and it is also a tradition of free love. Although some materials are scarce here, the satisfaction on their faces can be seen everywhere. Although life has only reserved a place for them to curl up, they can still talk and laugh.
Liao Jiaqiao: The third, eighth, thirteenth, eighteenth, twenty-third and twenty-eighth days of every month in the lunar calendar are the market time.
Alaying: The second day, the seventh day, the twelfth day, the seventeenth day, the twenty-second day and the twenty-seventh day of each month in the lunar calendar are the market time.
Ji Xin: The 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th and 30th of each month in the lunar calendar are the time for listing.
Jiang Shan: The third day, eighth day, thirteenth day, eighteenth day, twenty-third day and twenty-eighth day of every month in the lunar calendar are the time for market.
Labashan: The second day, seventh day, twelfth day, seventeenth day, twelfth day and twenty-seventh day of each month in the lunar calendar are the market time.
Fenghuang Ancient City Travel Guide-Eating Goods
For many foodies, traveling is eating. Eating all the way and eating wherever you go is the slogan of many foodies. Phoenix, located in the western border of Hunan Province, has a long history, and is dominated by Miao and other ethnic minorities, with many snacks and specialties. Snacks and specialties are unique. If it's all over the country, it's not a feature.
Snacks refer to non-staple foods that can be eaten in hand; Specialty refers to the staple food eaten on the table; Specialty includes food and food, which means you can pack it and take it home. Without letting go of every delicious food of Phoenix, how can we eat with confidence?
First, snacks
Tung leaf harrow
Tung leaf harrow is made of glutinous rice, rice and water spinach, stuffed with bacon, pickles, sesame seeds, red beans and sugar, and then wrapped with tung leaves! Tung leaf harrow is a pure green food. Tung leaf cake is an authentic traditional food in Phoenix, which is sweet, soft and delicious. Three yuan each.
Shefan
Eating club meals is a long-standing folk custom in Phoenix. Eating club meals is mainly carried out on the club day (that is, the fifth day after beginning of spring), which is called "crossing the club (too stupid) to stop the club" in folklore. The social dinner of Phoenix people is a sacrifice offered to the land god by the ancients during the Spring Festival. This is undoubtedly the product of religious culture, and now it has become a national food culture. Use a wild vegetable (I don't know what Mandarin is called) and wild onion (smaller than ordinary onion, with longer roots and stronger fragrance) on the mountain in spring, cut the bacon (really smoked and roasted with cypress branches) into cubes, add a proper amount of pan-rice to glutinous rice (the proportion must be appropriate), and steam these things together. You can also eat it fried, the more fried, the more fragrant it is. Five yuan each.
Sour radish (pickle)
Comrades, you must eat sour radish when you arrive in Phoenix. Sour radish, sour lettuce, sour cucumber, sour bamboo shoots, Chinese cabbage, vermicelli, sour apples ... generally there are more than ten kinds of stalls. Not expensive. Generally, it is weighed, a few dollars a catty.
Stinky tofu
Cube tofu is black, I don't know how to make it. Fry in the oil pan first, and then drain the oil. There is a big pot next to it, and there is broth in it. Put the fried stinky tofu into the broth, and then add chopped green onion, salt, sesame oil, monosodium glutamate and other seasonings. Here it is. Black tofu is hollow. Take a bite and there is broth in your mouth, which complements the smell of stinky tofu. Five yuan each.
rice tofu
Choosing the best rice, after grinding, cooking and shaping, has always been the favorite of Xiangxi people. Eating rice tofu seasoning is the key. Generally speaking, the more condiments, the richer the taste and the different the taste. Xiangxi people love to eat spicy food with heavy taste. Chili powder, chopped green onion, ginger foam and garlic paste are essential. There are also mountain pepper oil, aged vinegar, sauerkraut, monosodium glutamate, diced radish, fried peanuts ... two yuan for small portions and five yuan for large portions.
tangyuan
A small table, a pot of two kinds of dumplings, one sweet and the other salty. When jiaozi is cooked, it floats to the surface. Add a spoonful of sugar to the bowl. It will taste better if the stall owner prepares sweet wine. Five yuan a bowl.
Outdoor barbecue
There are three places to eat barbecue in Fenghuang County. Hongqiao Road, Shuitian Road and Xinma Road. The prices are all the same. Hongqiao is the closest to the ancient city and the most visited. There are many things that can be roasted in stalls with meat, such as pork, beef, mutton, chicken wings, chicken legs, sausages, ham sausages, mushrooms, mushrooms, tofu, bean skin, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, sauerkraut, bamboo shoots and yuba. The most distinctive ones are roasted sauerkraut and bamboo shoots, which have never been eaten anywhere else. Sauerkraut is made by locals. Sour and crisp. Bamboo shoots are fresh small bamboo shoots. Baked with pepper cumin salt and monosodium glutamate sesame oil. The smell is still flowing. Small mutton skewers are ten yuan each, big mutton skewers are ten yuan each, and vegetarian dishes are two yuan each, which is on the high side.
Second, special dishes
Duck blood cake
Duck with blood sauce is the most distinctive local dish in Phoenix. When making, first put the pre-soaked top-grade glutinous rice into a porcelain basin for later use. When killing ducks, dissolve duck blood into the glutinous rice and soak it evenly. After the duck's blood is suspected to be solid, steam it in the pot. After the blood cake is cool, cut it into small cubes and fry it in tea oil. Stir-fry duck meat with pork fat, pepper and vegetable oil until dry, then add salt and soy sauce, mix well, add water, cook for more than ten minutes, and then add sliced red pepper. When the duck meat is cooked, put the blood cake into the duck meat and cook it, add some seasoning and cook until it is golden. Blood-paste duck not only has the delicious flavor of duck meat, but also has the soft fragrance of blood paste. It tastes delicious, which greatly increases people's appetite and is a rare delicacy. The most authentic is a restaurant in the south gate, with authentic taste and fresh duck meat. This dish needs to be stewed to taste, and the price is about 28-48 yuan. In addition, there is a shop in the north gate, which can vacuum package stewed ducks with blood. You can try it on the spot and take it back to keep warm.
Bacon every other year
Bacon is a kind of food that ordinary farmers like to eat. Miao Village, Fenghuang's hometown, has the habit of smoking bacon every other year. The next year's bacon refers to the smoked bacon in previous years. After the spring, remove it from the refractory, wash off the ashes, and wipe off the sludge and dirt. After drying in a cool and windy place, put it away in the dry grain pile in the barn, because millet absorbs water. Bacon is buried in millet, and the water is absorbed by millet, so it will not be moldy and rotten. When eating, it will be taken out of millet and smoked with boiling water. Eating bacon every other year is beneficial to the kidney and the stomach. This is a delicious food for guests. Roughly 18 yuan.
Camus sour fish and sour meat
In Miao village, one of the most commonly used and popular famous dishes is glutinous rice sour fish and sour meat. After autumn, scattered seeds are everywhere in Miao Ling, a mountainous area. A basket of fat fish was caught from the drained field. After taking it home, it is washed and processed by the housewife, mixed with finely ground glutinous rice flour and pickled in a clay pot. After a month, you can take it out and eat it. Fish with glutinous rice and pickled vegetables can be fried, fried, steamed and fried with red pepper, but fried and fried are the best. There are not many restaurants in the ancient city that can cook sour fish and meat. Generally, it has evolved into pickled fish, and it tastes good. About 28-one in 48 yuan.
Cancer bacteria
Canned mushroom, also known as boletus, also known as Lohan mushroom and tripe mushroom, is rich in La 'er mountain area in the alpine mountain area of Phoenix. It is said that it contains high protein and vitamin B, which is very beneficial to human health. The picking time of canned bacteria is mostly in the hot weather in late summer and early autumn, and September,1October is also the growing period. The collected canned bacteria can be dried in the sun after manual processing and carefully collected, which can keep the color, flavor and taste. There are several ways to eat canned bacteria, especially fried meat and bacon with canned bacteria. Roughly 18-28 yuan.
slag
For friends in many cities, dregs may not even be seen, let alone eaten. The main component of the residue is soybean, and the finished product is a kind of porridge but it is very delicious. The ingredients of Fenghuang Tujia dregs mainly include soybeans, vegetables, shallots and minced meat. Except for a small amount of salt, there is basically no other seasoning, so it is often called light slag. Roughly 5- 10 yuan.
Stir-fried mushrooms in hot and sour.
After the local spring and summer rain, collect the dark green mushroom lichen (phoenix called shiitake mushroom) growing on the mountain rock wall, and rinse it with clear water several times. Stir-fry pickled peppers and garlic in a jar, sprinkle some shallots after taking out the pot, and it becomes a local specialty snack with all colors and flavors, which is very smooth to eat, especially when eating. About 8- 18 yuan.
Stewed chicken with chestnuts
The chestnut of Phoenix Chestnut Stewed Chicken is the black oil chestnut of Phoenix, which is famous for its full seeds and fat fruit. Because chestnuts and old hens here are more expensive, the price of this dish is also more expensive, generally around 30-50 yuan. If there is a cheap one, the chicken used is definitely not an old hen, and the taste is not very authentic. This must be noted.
Characteristic Tourism Strategy of Fenghuang Ancient City
When you travel to a place, you always bring back some special products. First, I want to be a souvenir, and second, I want to bring back a feeling to my relatives and friends at home.
As a national tourist attraction, Phoenix has many specialties, but the quality and price are also uneven. Specialty is a big expense on the trip, so it is not easy to choose high-quality and low-priced specialty in the actual purchase process, and more identification is needed when purchasing. The lower the price, the better, and the higher the price, the better. Cost performance is the last word. Special tips, local people have an advantage in buying special products. First, the price is low, and second, there are no fakes.
ginger candy
Ginger sugar is refined from ancestral secret recipe and folk craft, which has the effects of expelling cold and dissipating heat, moistening lung and warming stomach, resolving phlegm and relieving cough. Ginger sugar is made of white sugar, crystal sugar, walnut powder, brown sugar, honey and ginger. Pay special attention to the shelf life and packaging when buying ginger candy. The shelf life of bulk ginger candy is one or two days. If you want to buy it home or give it to your friends, buy sealed ginger candy. If it is packed with tin foil, the shelf life is four months. Common sense of identification: 1. There are honeycomb eyes on ginger candy, which means that a leavening agent has been added; 2. Ginger sugar is spicy, but what lacks ginger flavor is the addition of Chili powder; 3. Adding alum and essence loses the taste of ginger sugar; 4. Ginger sugar is sticky, light in color and sticks to the teeth. 5. Bitter ginger candy is mostly overcooked.
Duck blood cake
Phoenix blood duck is very special. In other places, unless the duck is boiled, stewed, roasted and fried, beer and other deodorizing accessories are added to the cooking at most, while the braised duck with phoenix blood uses oil to collect water from the duck and make crispy duck meat. Duck meat soaked in blood tastes different. Duck meat is crisp, and the meat inside the skin has no smell of blood or water. The meat is shredded and tender, and it will be crisp if it is stuffy for a long time. The most authentic way to roast duck with blood is to vacuum package it in the North Gate Tower. Never buy ducks from small workshops in that area. Most of them are smoked ducks or even sick ducks.
Fenghuang silverware silver jewelry
There are many kinds of Miao silver ornaments, which can be roughly divided into three categories: headdress, chest ornament and back ornament. Most of them retain the original charm, and many shapes reflect the belief pursuit and life customs of the Miao people. Many families spend their whole lives creating a set of silver ornaments for their daughters, so silver ornaments are also a symbol of wealth and status. The price is generally calculated by weight, and the complicated process will also be calculated by one. It is best to buy silverware in Fenghuang ancient city in listed silverware shops to see whether there is a license for silverware processing and sales and whether there is a quality guarantee for silverware products. It is difficult to guarantee the quality of small shops or part-time shops. As for the silver ornaments on the stalls, there are basically no genuine ones. Small way to distinguish: listen to the sound, look at the color, burn red and soak in water without changing color. If you don't know how to identify, you'd better find someone who knows, and you can get a discount, which is beautiful.
Kiwi or Kiwi?
Xiangxi is one of the three major kiwifruit producing areas in China. The kiwifruit "Miliang 1" produced by Laodie Company is famous for its large fruit and high quality. Kiwi is rich in nutrition, and its vitamin C content is 17 times that of apple. It has antioxidant effect, can inhibit the increase of lipid peroxide in vivo, and prevent aging. Many experts have found that fiber can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, prevent colon diseases, lower cholesterol and help diabetics control blood sugar. Kiwi is not only a fruit, but also a key product. Dad's company basically monopolized the kiwifruit orchard in Xiangxi, with the best quality. Some bulk products are imported products, and pigments and flavors can be seen everywhere.
Fenghuang rice wine
Fenghuang rice wine benefits from ancestral brewing technology and is based on local ethnic customs. Laotan wine, a specialty, is brewed with alpine pure grain. The wine is mellow and soft, without going to the head or dry mouth. Mature raw juice rice wine rice noodle soup is clear, rich in honey, sweet in mouth, thick but not touching, thin but not flowing, warm the stomach after eating, and has a long aftertaste. Rich in vitamins, glucose, amino acids and other nutrients, it can stimulate appetite, refresh the mind, and has the functions of promoting qi circulation, nourishing blood, nourishing yin and tonifying kidney. However, there are also some businesses that use alcohol to blend sales, and they should be clearly recognized when buying.
wax printing
Miao batik has a long history, even dating back to ancient times, and the finished art enjoys a high reputation in the whole dyeing and weaving art world. In ancient times, people called it batik wax. Simply put, it is to use wax to draw patterns on linen, silk, cotton, wool and other fabrics, and then put them into the dyeing vat for dip dyeing. Where there is wax, the color won't come out. If the wax is removed, beautiful patterns will appear. This is batik. Its finished products are mostly white flowers with dark blue background, with bright and clean patterns, simple and elegant, which shows the rich and colorful national culture and folk arts and crafts skills of the Miao people themselves.
Tour Guide of Fenghuang Ancient City-Matters needing attention
Every place has its own unique national culture and folk customs. Phoenix is inhabited by ethnic minorities, so we should pay more attention to some things. You must know your destination if you want to travel happily and smoothly.
First, the Phoenix tourism taboo
1. Don't bring an umbrella into other people's house, but put it away before entering.
Don't step on other people's doorsteps, just lift your feet and cross them.
3. You can't share the same room with men and women when visiting Miao family. There is no such rule in the ancient city tourist area.
4. Don't step on people's tripods or sit in the stalls when visiting Miao family.
Try not to make friends with married women in Miao village.
6. Don't whistle casually in Miao Village. It is said that it will attract ghosts.
7. Children can't touch their heads.
8. You can't directly address Miao people in front of their compatriots, let alone Miao people. This is a big no-no.
Some phenomena may be incomprehensible for a while, but don't point them out in person and respect local customs.
Second, how to prevent cheating and soliciting
There are many illegal soliciting people in Fenghuang ancient city. They live on kickbacks, and the county government is in charge. As long as there are tourists, you can hear: by boat? Watch the party? Go to Miao village? Taking pictures? Accommodation? Eat? Miao costumes? Do you need a guide? ..... all kinds of tricks, just want the guests to spend through them, and then get kickbacks. Their prices are changeable, and they have no fixed place to live, and they are vague in answering questions. The result of their consumption is often that the price is higher than promised, the service is not guaranteed, and people can't find anything wrong. The best way to face it is to refuse it directly, or they have tried everything they recommended. Sometimes pestering them not to go to the scenic spots may be noisy, so generally don't provoke them.
How to distinguish between innkeeper soliciting and illegal soliciting? In fact, this is very simple: ask the other party for a business card. The innkeeper always carries his business card with him, which contains information such as the name, contact information and specific address of the inn. Ask each other with a business card to see if what you say is consistent with what is on the business card. If they are consistent, the credibility will be high, and those who need accommodation can be trusted. Don't worry about those who don't bring their business cards.
Third, practical tricks.
1, the ancient city is closed to traffic, all on the stone road. So choose a pair of good shoes and go out.
2. The starting price of taxis in Xincheng is 3.5 yuan, plus a surcharge of 1 yuan. Phoenix is not big, so taxis generally don't cost more than ten yuan. The bus is unmanned, no matter how far it is, it is one yuan per person. The battery car in Hongqiao is also one yuan per person, regardless of distance.
3. From Huaihua, Jishou and Tongren to Fenghuang, don't take a taxi, let alone a so-called private car. Be sure to take a regular bus, or you will be fooled. There is no such thing as a free bargain.
4. Some buses will sell tickets on the bus. Don't believe it, or who will you find after getting off? The safest way is to make a reservation with your boss, which is both safe and affordable.
5. Phoenix cuisine is mainly sour and spicy. If you don't eat pickles, you can ask them. Don't eat by the river, you'd better go to the south gate. Locals don't eat by the river. Phoenix incense is very expensive, so don't enter the temple if you don't want to burn incense.
6. You can bargain when you buy things, but you should pay attention to the discretion and don't let the merchants think that you are deliberately looking for trouble.
7. You can taste the food for free before you buy it, or you can not buy it, but you should say thank you.
