Guangzhou-Phoenix Ancient City, Zhangjiajie Three-Day Tour｜Extremely Detailed
Guangzhou-Phoenix Ancient City-Wulingyuan-Tianmen Mountain-Guangzhou
Super friendly three-day relaxed tour guide for office workers
Day 1⃣️ Guangzhou-Phoenix Ancient City-Zhangjiajie
🚄Guangzhou-Phoenix Ancient City💰About 500 ⌚️6 hours
🌟Arrive at 14:30, you can take the scenic area bus💰7/person (optional upstream/downstream)
🌟15:20 The scenic bus arrives at Nanhuali to find a shop to store luggage (🉑️Store until the tourist information office closes at 5 o'clock)
🌟Route: Phoenix City Archway—Rainbow Bridge—Tiaoyan by the river—Rainbow Bridge Art Building—Phoenix City Archway
Delicious food💥Phoenix special blood duck (feels similar to stewed duck), Xiangxi pickles (super like)
🌟🉑️Eat🉑️Rent Miao nationality clothes for shooting (because it rained, I chose to eat... two people ate 230 dishes, just ask for the price)
🌟Take the high-speed rail to Zhangjiajie💰76/person⌚️1 hour
(Phoenix Ancient City to High-speed Rail Station is about half an hour, 🈺️22:00)
🏠Arrive at the homestay at 10:30💰87
🌟/person)
🌟Route: Homestay-Tianmen Mountain South Gate-Cableway to Yangjiajie-Eco-car to Yuanjiajie-Eco-car to Baibu Sky Ladder-Downhill Wulingyuan Symbol Gate-Homestay
🌟 There are many self-funded projects in Wulingyuan, and eco-cars are used for travel within the scenic spot (the whole journey is six or seven hours)
🌟There will be food for sale on the mountain, and the grilled corn and sausages I bought are so bad🤮 (it’s best to bring your own food and drink)
🌟Get off the mountain at more than five o'clock, take a taxi back to the city and share a car with an average of 25 per person (you can see if there are other people going back to the city together, it will be cheaper)
🥘Eat!! (Specialty food: three pots, teppanyaki, rice noodles) 🏠The accommodation is still the same one, Yueqi Boutique Hotel🏨87/night (usually stay near Guanli Road Golden Tower Community with more food)
Day 3⃣️Tianmen Mountain💰431
You must go to Tianmen Mountain in winter!! !! Super recommended
🌟Route: Homestay-Tianmen Mountain Cableway (up the mountain)-East Station-West Line-Tianmen Cave-Eco-car (down the mountain)
‼️(New Year's Day) There is only one line up and down the east or up and down the west (the east line must spend 5 yuan to walk the glass plank road, the scenery is super beautiful, the west line is the ghost valley plank road!)
🐛Like me, take the high-speed rail in the afternoon, go up the mountain before 9 o'clock in the morning, and plan to go down the mountain to Tianmen Cave at about 3:30 in the afternoon (if you like to take pictures, you can skip the small route)
Phoenix Ancient City Night View| Border Town under the pen of Shen Congwen
|Border Town under the pen of Shen Congwen. 'A bend of Tuojiang River, a Phoenix city.'
A slight mist is diffused, three thousand bright lights are brilliant, so this is the border town under the pen of Mr. Shen Congwen...
Rush to the Phoenix Ancient City in western Hunan to see the 'Border Town' under the pen of Shen Congwen. The majestic ancient city wall, the neat stilted buildings, the smooth bluestone roads, the Yao girls by the Tuojiang River... These are the first impressions of the Phoenix Ancient City. Phoenix is located in western Hunan, and is a county where ethnic minorities such as Miao and Tujia are mainly concentrated.
This place has a long history and was once called 'the land of barbarians', but a 'Border Town' has pushed this ancient city to the world.
Today's Phoenix is the 'most beautiful small city in China' in the mouth of New Zealand writer Rewi Alley and the 'Painting Township' under the pen of painter Huang Yongyu, which is comparable to the ancient city of Lijiang in Yunnan and the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi.
'Wait for a city of misty rain, just for you; cross a lifetime of love, only with you'
'I have walked over many bridges in my life, seen clouds many times, drunk many kinds of wine, but only loved a person at the best age'
Perhaps many people like Shen Congwen because of this sentence. And because of his 'Border Town', they fell in love with Phoenix.
Phoenix Ancient Town, Hunan
1: You can basically finish touring the ancient town by walking and taking photos for half a day, but the day and night views each have their own charm. The daytime view is antique, and the night view is gorgeous and dazzling. It is recommended to stay for 1 day and 1 night, arrive at noon, and leave at noon the next day is ideal. If you want to experience the Miao nationality or surrounding attractions, you can spend more time.
2 Phoenix transportation: The high-speed rail station Phoenix Ancient Town, the nearest airport is in Tongren, Guizhou, 100% recommended to arrive by high-speed rail. The high-speed rail station is only 20 to 30 yuan away from the ancient town or the city. It is difficult to call a network car at the high-speed rail station. Follow the signs in the high-speed rail station to the taxi point (do not exit the station), and it is easy to get a taxi.
3 Be cautious: The maglev train at the high-speed rail station, 19 yuan per person to Phoenix Ancient Town, if there are more than 2 people, it is more cost-effective to take a taxi. And it's not easy to drag suitcases in the ancient town, it's best to take a taxi to the nearest entrance and exit.
Phoenix has 3 main attractions: Tuojiang River, ancient town, Miao Village
, the scenic spot pass, the boat tour ticket can ask the homestay owner, or the one-day tour store in the ancient town, it's very convenient.
Avoid thunder in the scenic spot: People who pull people to the scenic spot on the road, the scenic spot is not so good, there may be various places to add money on the way.
Accommodation:
The homestays in the ancient town are all renovated old buildings, and the sound insulation effect is definitely not good, but the scenery along the river is very good, and you can also drink tea and enjoy the scenery in the homestay when it rains.
People with poor sleep are advised to live outside the ancient town! Otherwise, the music of the bars along the river will not be turned off until 11:30 in the evening, and you will be woken up by the horns of the tour group and the scenic spot at 7 o'clock the next morning.
The ancient city tourism department does not manage well. Since it attracts tourists with the gimmick of the city that never sleeps, there is no need to get up so early to live in the ancient city. Traveling is not military training.
Travel photography in the ancient city has become a standard part of travel. Most travel photography shops can or , compare the sample pictures and prices of several shops. We found a full set of 299, including 10 retouched and 30 negatives. Go there at noon to make up and change clothes, then play in the ancient city, and arrange for the photographer to shoot before the lights are turned on at night, so that you can shoot both day and night views.
The "photographer" who takes your candid photos on the road and then sells the photos to you, most of these do not have a few fixed cooperative travel photography shops
The basics along the river in the ancient city are expensive and not delicious. If you are hungry while shopping, you can eat some snacks to fill your stomach. The homestay owner recommended "Wanmuzhai" on the edge of the ancient city. We think it's pretty good, the price is right, the portion is enough, and the taste is not bad. We ate two meals and recommend chopped pepper fish head, blood duck, and bamboo shoots stir-fried with bacon.

Mount Villa by T Residence Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Phoenix ancient town
Phoenix ancient (aka fenghuang) town is definitely a worth visiting when you come to Zhang Jia Jie, it is only one hour away from zhang jia jie west station.
Beautiful town day and night. Recommend to stay for a night to see the town when it’s lit up.
The town is also filled with interesting shops/coffee/snacks and food. Perfect for a causal stroll
Lots of hotel options either by the river or inside the town
It's snowing in the prosperous city of Chang'an
After two years, the ancient city of Phoenix welcomed its first snow in 24 years. The view of the snow from the halls, mountains, terraces, and swimming pools is simply superb, everyone is welcome to come and take photos
Check in at the only hotel in Fenghuang Ancient City with a panoramic infinity pool!!!
You always have to come and see the border town described by Shen Congwen.
Take a look at the Chang'an City that Mao Mao has longed for, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, stroll through the old streets and alleys, and feel the original appearance of life❤️
Choosing the right hotel for travel can make you feel comfortable both physically and mentally.
I was attracted by the design of this hotel from the pictures. The combination of light and shadow architecture and nature exudes a sense of simplicity and sophistication. Only later did I learn that the owner of the hotel is a master of international design from the Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy, and he personally designed the hotel, as well as the Fenghuang high-speed railway station.
I was quite lucky to meet the owner at the hotel by chance, and learned that Fenghuang holds his childhood memories, and the hotel also incorporates his hometown sentiment. There are many special details about Fenghuang, such as the paper 'Auspicious Masters' representing the intangible cultural heritage of Fenghuang, and each room has a copy of 'Jiao Ye Chen Meng', which touched me because everyone knows Shen Congwen, but few may know the epic love story of Xiangxi King 'Chen Quzhen' and the Tibetan girl Xi Yuan.
Details like these also move me, giving me a feeling that 'the hotel itself is the destination'.
Of course, the hotel's hardware facilities and services are also very impressive, including a tea room, a small bar, a courtyard, a swimming pool, a gym, a laundry room, and even a parting gift when you leave!
The hotel also has its own parking lot🅿️!!! This is very important because many hotels in Fenghuang do not have parking lots, and it is difficult to find parking spaces.
I've stayed at this designer boutique hotel in Fenghuang Ancient Town with my girlfriends for 3 times
After frequent visits to Fenghuang Ancient Town, I've stayed at different places each time, including by the river and in the alleys of the old town, but this hotel has been the most satisfying. I stayed for 3 nights in a row, and I'll head straight here next time I visit!
🎢Here are some tips I've gathered:
1⃣️Don't stay in the riverside alleys, the scenery is nice but it's too noisy
2⃣️It's best to stay near the Tourist Center, it's close to everywhere in the ancient town~
2⃣️It only takes a few minutes to walk to attractions like Nanhua Mountain, Cui Cui Cruise, and Rainbow Bridge 🚶♀️
3⃣️It's just a ten-minute taxi ride to Qiliang Cave and Nanhua Bridge 🚗
🏨Hotel features:
⛰️The owner is a designer who returned from overseas, and the hotel has a very sophisticated style! The room we stayed in had a 5-meter long bathtub, and looking out the window from the room was like viewing a scroll of landscape ink painting. There are also rooms with private hot springs, but unfortunately, they were occupied when we were there 😭
⚠️It only takes half an hour to fill the bathtub, and it's really comfortable to soak in the bath while watching TV and snacking. After the bath, it's also a great spot for taking photos, the results are yyds‼️
🎁Surprise Tips:
✔️Breakfast can be delivered to the room
✔️The rooftop has the only constant temperature infinity pool in Fenghuang Ancient Town, offering a panoramic view of the city
✔️You can have afternoon tea and cook tea by the stove on the rooftop, which is also a great spot for taking photos 📷
✔️The soundproofing and blackout are great, it's not noisy at all at midnight 🎺

Fenghuang Bridge Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Fenghuang -at least a full day and night
Fenghuang in Hunan is a beautiful town along a river that is well worth a visit. The ticket for 8 sites and a boat trip was 120 rmb and gives your wandering some focus, but I only spent about 10-15 minutes in each site and a lot of the information was not in English. The boat trip was good but only 20 minutes. At night there are queues for the boat trip so we went late afternoon
Fascinating Fenghuang
Fenghuang (Phoenix) ancient town is situated around 4 hours (by road) from Zhangjiajie and is a cultural town with lots of picturesque scenes. The old town has a river running through the centre where there a lot of different activities taking place. A lot of the accommodation is mainly small B&Bs or hostels which are small and family owned. The prices of most things (particularly food and drink) is very expensive and catered towards the tourists who tend to visit for one or two days only. #tourism #china #Ancientown #summervacation #awesomepic
A hidden gem 💎
Fenghuang was such a fun trip. I wasn’t supposed to visit it, but due to covid restrictions at Zhangjiajie I ended up having some free time to visit it. It’s not too turistic, so you can enjoy the town more. The atmosphere is calm, food is awesome, definitely recommended!
