3: When you arrive in Phoenix, you must first find a place to stay. Accommodation in Phoenix is divided into hotels and family hotels. Hotel: Nanhua Hotel in the center of the city , Holiday Hotel is pretty good. You can go to Education Hotel, Xinhua Hotel, or Gucheng Hotel at the big carousel. For family hotels, I recommend Linshui Residence next to the north gate and Tian Xingshu's former residence on the old street. Each has its own characteristics. The price of a hotel is usually about 50 yuan/person/day (double room), and the price of a family hotel is 20 yuan/person/bed. Of course, you can also ask us to help you decide:). At the entrance of the old street, there is a big sign listing all the hotels in Phoenix. If you don’t want to see the hotel’s phone number and beds, you can go there and see for yourself.
Fenghuang Ancient City is divided into five major scenic spots:
Nanhua Mountain Scenic Spot: The entire scenic spot is covered with green mountains and green trees. In the morning, the mist is green, and in the evening, the setting sun is purple, and the rain splashes ink. , the smoke disperses and the gauze is lifted, the makeup is light and heavy, suitable for rain or shine. The scenic spot includes three major sceneries: "Nanhua Greenery", "Lanjing Woodcutter Song", and "Mountain Temple Morning Bell". In short, the Nanhua Mountain Scenic Area is: winding through layers of forest roads, surrounded by snail buns and green mountains, suitable for both sunny and rainy days, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery carefully.
Shawan Scenic Area: The center of the scenic area is Shawan. It includes five of the eight major scenic spots in the past: Dongling Yinghui, Longtan Cooking and Fishing Fire, Fange Huitao, Xiqiao Night Moon, and Qifeng Tall and Beautiful. It is known as "Langyuan". Here, there is a bend of green water, surrounded by green mountains, nunneries, pavilions, monasteries, temples, pavilions, platforms, buildings and pavilions dotted here and there. Classical and modern buildings are interspersed and matched, making it unique. The mountains are green and the rain cannot wash them away, and the sound of birds is carried by the wind.
Qiliang Cave Scenic Area: 5 kilometers away from the county seat. It has the characteristics of strange, beautiful, quiet and steep. It is a peak-cluster-valley landform dominated by dissolution, and the ancient and modern wonders of heaven and earth are dissolved into one cave.
Huangsiqiao Ancient City Scenic Area: In Miao District, 25 kilometers away from the county seat, there is a complete stone city. The city site is located among the green trees and rocks in Huangsiqiao Village. It is a famous scenic spot and the site of an ancient battlefield where host and guest competed with each other. The ancient city was first established during the Chui Gong period of the Tang Dynasty. It was renovated and repaired in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Today the ancient city is intact and standing majestically. The 10-meter-high brick and wood-structured city towers are all designed in the Qing Dynasty, with algae reliefs, flying eaves and raised pavilions. They are majestic. Ancient barracks made of bluestone and adobe bricks still exist. The ancient city stands tall on the edge of Chu, overlooking Qianchuan River.

Food:
Phoenix people are delicious, so they eat a lot. Snacks: There are pickled radish, ginger candies, and the night market in the evening. The most delicious pickled radish is at the stall at the entrance of Wenchangge Primary School. For ginger candies, I went to the store at the end of the alley where Shen Congwen’s former residence was located. I’ve been eating their ginger candies since I was a child, so my teeth always hurt. Restaurants: Two on the old street. Fangzheng Restaurant, the Old Street Restaurant below, the Grand Turnpan Ancient City Hotel, and the fresh fish shop below. I recommend Fangzheng Restaurant because you can meet some old calligraphers, painters, and folk artists from Phoenix from time to time, and listen to them talk about Phoenix. Fenghuang's four dishes, one soup and one meal: community rice, blood cake duck, spicy and sour fish, spicy and sour glutinous rice cubes, steamed bacon, pickled cabbage and tofu soup
Handicrafts:
Batik and For Miao silver jewelry and batik, you can go to Fenghuang Old Street. There are a lot of them, but for all-handmade ones, you can go to Teacher Xiong’s batik workshop. Because it is a work of art, the price is naturally very good. For Miao silver jewelry, you can go to the old street. Take a look at the three stores, one is a tie-dye shop, most of them are new silver products, but because they are handmade and can be customized, it is very good. The second is Zhang Guiying's tie-dyeing workshop, which mainly deals with tie-dying and purchased Miao silver jewelry, and also hand-made. The third is Liusefang, which mainly deals in old silver jewelry. All three of them can guarantee the quality of silver jewelry.
Local products:
There are pine mushroom oil and canned mushrooms. If you want to buy it, it’s best to buy it in bags.

You can go to Hongqiao and sit there. There are often no people on Hongqiao at night. You can go up alone, buy a cup of tea, and slowly read the famous calligraphy and paintings on it. , feel the charm of Phoenix.

The climate is pleasant when there are no long days of cool weather in summer and no long frost in winter. (It is best to come to Phoenix in autumn)
Notes:
Just pay attention to your own health and prevent acclimatization. Affect your travel plans.
Some patches about the Phoenix Travel Guide
1. The ticket price for Dehang has increased to 28 because there will be a Miao song and dance performance during the day, but it is best to go at 2 in the afternoon Went there at 3:30, because it was the show that started and ended at 3:30.
2. Regarding the Quicksand Waterfall in Dehang, many people don’t know what to see. If you go there, it’s best to walk more After a few steps, go to the back of the Quicksand Falls to see what you will see - the rapids and "quicksands".
3. After arriving in Fenghuang, you can buy a book and read it, which is called, <
