A place where you can cross three provinces in one step

Cha Diao Ancient Town | The 'Border Town' in Shen Congwen's writings | Cui Cui's hometown. I read Mr. Shen Congwen's 'Border Town' in high school and was filled with infinite yearning for Xiangxi, wanting to see the beauty of this small town with my own eyes. I've been to so many ancient towns, but this 'Border Town' makes me feel the most comfortable. Now I present a super detailed travel guide. 📍Address and transportation: 1️⃣Major transportation🚌: There are no high-speed trains in 'Border Town', and trains can only reach Jishou or Huaihua, then transfer to a bus to Huayuan in Hunan, and then take a bus here 2️⃣Self-driving🚗: Self-driving navigation 'Xiangxi Huayuan County Border Town Cha Diao Ancient City' is enough 📍Location distribution: The part in Chongqing is called Hong'an Ancient Town, the part in Hunan is called Cha Diao Ancient Town, and the part in Guizhou occupies very little Places to visit: Chongqing has an old street, Hunan has two or three old streets, and Guizhou has a boundary marker 🏔️Must-visit attractions: 1️⃣Two boundary markers where you can cross three provinces in one step, a small one in Guizhou, and a large one in Hunan 2️⃣Lala Du 2/person 3️⃣Boat ride 20-25/person (After 6:30 in the evening, you can take a boat and stop for photos at the boundary marker where you can cross three provinces in one step. There are too many people during the day and it does not stop) The boat in Hunan is more expensive than that in Guizhou 4️⃣Hong'an Old Street in Chongqing, which has the characteristics of Chongqing architecture and is very photogenic 5️⃣Several old streets in Hunan, which are completely different from the architectural style in Chongqing, are also very photogenic 6️⃣If you go there during holidays, there will be performances, which are quite lively. There are performances in Chongqing around four or five o'clock, and there is a long table banquet at five o'clock, 30/person, don't expect it to be delicious, just eat the atmosphere. The performance in Hunan starts around seven o'clock in the evening 7️⃣'Border Town' Wall: If you haven't read Mr. Shen Congwen's 'Border Town', it doesn't matter, you can read about Cui Cui's innocent love story from this wall 🍱Food recommendations: 1️⃣Corner fish 48 yuan/jin The sour and spicy taste, combined with the taste characteristics of Sichuan, Hunan and Chongqing, is very delicious and worth trying 2️⃣Chongqing noodles There are many noodle shops in Chongqing, and the taste is really good 3️⃣Hunan/Chongqing style stir-fried dishes Since you are there, you must try the authentic stir-fried dishes 🏠Accommodation recommendations: (Many guesthouses here can only be booked on the spot, there is no online, it is recommended that you can book online first, if you can't find a suitable one, you can find accommodation here first) 1️⃣Hunan part: The environment is better, the price is higher, during holidays, river view rooms are three to four hundred, ordinary rooms are two to three hundred 2️⃣Chongqing part: The environment is a bit worse, the price is lower, you can find rooms for 150-200, there are also expensive ones, the environment will be better ‼️Differences between the two ancient towns: The cost of living in Chongqing is cheaper, and Hunan is more expensive, whether it is eating, accommodation or playing Chongqing is more primitive, more leisurely, and starts to close at nine o'clock, while Hunan is more lively, more commercialized, and open until about eleven o'clock in the evening Parking is free in Chongqing, and there is a charge in Hunan There is no queue for boats in Chongqing, and the price is also cheap; there is a queue for boats in Hunan,
