First, let me popularize the ancient city of Fenghuang. The core of the ancient city of Fenghuang is Hongqiao. After Hongqiao, you will reach the ancient city.
Upstream of Hongqiao is the ancient city wall, and inside the ancient city wall is the square ancient city. There is a narrow street outside the ancient city wall, and this street is full of riverside inns.
The river view downstream of Hongqiao is also good, and there are inns, but the further you go down, the more you deviate from the ancient city. Downstream to Yunqiao, you are basically out of the scenic area, but there is a more famous night performance here.
The inns downstream are cheaper and larger, especially near Yunqiao, which is newly built. It is also farther away. If you walk fast, it is about 20 minutes walking distance from Yunqiao to Hongqiao. There are also river view rooms, but there is a small street between this river view room and the river. The real riverside water is still the inn on this narrow street outside the ancient city wall.
So if you want hardware, it is recommended that you live farther away; if you want cost-effectiveness, don’t live in a river view; if you want the taste of the ancient city by the river, then it is recommended that you live in this street outside the ancient city wall.
Let's talk about this Gutong Riverside Hotel. It has three floors, two rooms on each floor, a total of six rooms, all with river views. There is a river under the balcony and a bar street opposite. The hotels on this street are basically like this. Each building is not big, all three floors, two rooms on each floor, occasionally three rooms on each floor, all with river views, and occasionally there are street view rooms that are cheaper. So there are not many rooms available, and holidays are very busy.
The boss is nice, and the decoration is also okay. It really feels like a homestay, unlike some so-called river view rooms downstream, which are accommodation above the hotel, and the decoration has a farmhouse feeling. However, because the overall area is too small and it is in the central area, if you want supporting facilities, sorry, there is none, not even a kitchen, no breakfast, and no parking.
Let me complain, not to mention parking outside, even the parking fee of 40 per day is paid by yourself, which is indeed a bit unfair.
Finally, I recommend two restaurants. The first is a restaurant near the scenic area, Gazi Restaurant next to Hongqiao. Unlike most meals packed by outsiders, this one is opened by locals themselves, and the taste is relatively authentic. The second one is the old restaurant in the center, which is outside the scenic area and is a restaurant where locals go to eat. It is definitely better, but just a little far away. The walk there is about the same as going to see the Yunqiao show, a brisk twenty-minute walk.
