Fenghuang Ancient Town is definitely worth a visit!

For those who haven't yet set foot in Fenghuang Ancient Town, this detailed guide will lead you on an in-depth journey through its beauty. [Travel Guide] The high-speed train goes directly to Fenghuang Ancient Town Station. Multiple transportation options are available upon arrival: 1. For a budget-friendly choice, take the dedicated shuttle bus for ¥7 per person. Line 1 goes directly to Qifeng Square, and Line 2 goes to Nanhuali, offering both convenience and affordability. 2. If you prioritize efficiency, consider taking a taxi directly to your destination. The fare depends on real-time conditions, providing flexibility and speed. 3. The maglev train is also an option. Although I haven't personally experienced it, it could be a novel way to travel.
