Quickly collect the nanny-level guide for a one-day trip to Fenghuang Ancient Town

👫Let’s go to the ancient town of Fenghuang in western Hunan to see the border town described by Shen Congwen. The majestic ancient city wall, the neat and uniform stilt houses, the smooth blue-gray stone road, the Miao girl by the Tuojiang River... These are the first impressions of Fenghuang Ancient Town. The ancient town of Fenghuang is located in western Hunan Province. It is a county where ethnic minorities gather, mainly the Miao and Tujia people. It has a long history and the city was known to be difficult to conquer. However, the TV series "Border Town" made this ancient city known to the world. 👫Best time to travel Spring and autumn (March-May, September-November) have pleasant climate and beautiful scenery, which are suitable for sightseeing; summer (June-August) is hot, and you can experience the coolness of Tuojiang River. In winter (December-February), the ancient city appears more peaceful and is suitable for tourists who like quietness. 🛵Transportation: 1⃣️High-speed rail🚄 Take the high-speed rail from Changsha South to Fenghuang Ancient Town (2 hours, 180 yuan) 2⃣️Bus🚗 Take a bus directly from Changsha Bus Station to Fenghuang County (6-7 hours, 158 yuan) ❤️Accommodation🏠 There are many homestays along the river in Fenghuang Ancient Town, ranging from 100 to 300 yuan, but you can stay very well for about 100 yuan. 📸【Recommended check-in point】 ⛳️Nanhua Gate: The landmark building of the ancient city, the boundary between the new and old Phoenix City. Entering Nanhua Gate is the Phoenix Ancient City, and exiting Nanhua Gate is the new city area. ⛳️Tuojiang River: The mother river of Fenghuang Ancient Town. At night, the two banks of the Tuojiang River are brightly lit. You can also take a cruise to enjoy the night view. ⛳️Miao Family Stilt House: The bluestone road and stilt house have a more Jiangnan flavor, and it is even more beautiful with the misty rain~ ⛳️Nanhua Bridge: This is the highest point of the ancient city. You can see the Snow Bridge, Tiaoyan, and Rainbow Bridge on the bridge, and you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the ancient city.
