The poetic riverside on a rainy night

Xiangxi Tujia Miao Autonomous Prefecture has been known for its mysterious Xiangxi since ancient times. This time, taking advantage of the holiday, I played around the Phoenix Ancient City, Dehang Miao Village, and Aozhai Bridge in one go, and felt a completely different beauty of Hunan The highlight of the trip is that you can feel the art and ethnic style of Xiangxi at once: see the night view of the stilted building in the ancient city of Phoenix, cross the Miao style in a second in Dehang Miao Village, and the super shocking Dwarf Village Cliff Highway and Bridge, whether it is a selfie or a note of air is super healing! Xiangxi attractions recommended courier 1. Phoenix Ancient City The ancient city of Phoenix is ​​​​a famous literary and artistic town in the country. Walking around the ancient city at night in midsummer, you can see the reflection of the stilted building and the water color. You can feel the fireworks of Hubei and Miao fusion. Then it is recommended to be sure to hang out in the early morning, fewer tourists, more able to feel the tranquility. 📍Address: Phoenix County, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province 🕒 The ancient city is open all day, some scenic spots sell tickets (such as Shen Congwen's former residence) 8:00-18:00 Specialty snacks recommendation: blood dumpling duck, spicy and sour fish meal 2. Dehang Miao Village Dehang Miao Village is about 20 kilometers away from Jishou City and is one of the largest Miao settlements in western Hunan. It is recommended to reserve half a day to watch the Miao song and dance performances, as well as the clusters of stilted buildings and natural mountains and rivers, which are beautiful without deliberately taking pictures. 📍Address: Dehang Miao Village, Jishou City, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province 🕒Opening hours: 8:00-17:30 (performance can be checked in advance on Miao Village official website) Scenic Area Transportation: Jishou City can be reached by bus or chartered car 3. Dwarf Village Bridge & Dwarf Village Canyon The Aizhai Bridge is known as one of the most beautiful bridges in China. Standing on the bridge feels like walking in the clouds. Under the bridge is a spectacular canyon. The best angle for taking pictures is recommended at the observation deck on the west side of the bridge (with a transparent glass canyon!). The nine bends and eighteen turns of Aizhai Highway are extremely challenging, and it is extremely comfortable to drive and take pictures. 📍Address: Aizhai Town, Jishou City, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province 🕒Open all day, tickets required for some areas (sightseeing platform 8:30-17:00) #tips collection 1. Phoenix Ancient City is most comfortable in the morning and evening, avoiding the crowds to take pictures much better, in summer it is recommended to bring a hat and mosquito repellent water. 2. Dehang Miao Village basically does not have to follow a group, the villagers are very enthusiastic, can self-guided wandering. 3. Be careful when driving in the canyon, the route has sharp bends, rainy days need to check the weather in advance. 4. Xiangxi specialty food all pepper and spicy, do not eat spicy friends ask in advance, the ancient city has many fusion small shops. Transportation guide There are high-speed buses or high-speed trains directly from Zhangjiajie and Changsha to Phoenix. After arriving in Phoenix, you can rent a battery car or enjoy the ancient city on foot. For peripheral attractions such as Aizhai and Dehang Miaozhai, it is recommended to charter a car from Jishou City for more flexible schedules. Food recommendations The blood dumpling duck and Miao family sour fish soup in the alleys of Phoenix Ancient City are not to be missed, and the Miao village's home-brewed rice wine tastes peculiar and is worth trying. Xiangxi is suitable for all seasons, spring and summer folk activities are rich, autumn is the most beautiful mountains and rivers, highly recommended 3 days in-depth small reunion trip, feel different native fireworks colors! #Xiangxi Guide #Phoenix Ancient City #Dehang Miao Village #Dwarf Village Bridge #In-depth self-guided tour
