Through the ancient town of thousands of years, Xiangxi style! The night view is beautiful at night, and the night rain listens to the Languan Waterfall! During the day, the scenery is not in place because of the management, and some homestays are too modern and easy to play! Not clean and standardized enough, there will be a gap than at night, the whole can be, the original flavor. Mainly speaking of tickets, I am not very sensitive to the price, but more than 100 tickets, this scale is relatively expensive, the scenic spot price is knocked out! I remembered like a godbird ancient town next door, and finally made a joke. Eat things, some snacks are OK, many restaurants are low cost, the kitchen skills are too rough, there is nothing delicious but expensive, the scenic spot can understand, but the price of the near slaughter is to want to Heze and fish? A good ancient town, is the feeling of not wanting to repeat customers, personal feeling, local tyrants are free.
