2024 Xiangxi Prefecture Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

Travel Guide｜I declare that autumn in Xiangxi is truly a human ideal.

Bluestone slabs, stilted buildings, Tuojiang River, and a leaf boat. Many people's impression of Xiangxi is still limited to Fenghuang Ancient Town. Until this time, I really traveled around Xiangxi and saw another side of it under the bright lights. Its true beauty is understated yet resounding. Xiangxi is no longer mysterious, just waiting for you to come. - ⛰️4-day itinerary in Xiangxi Day 1: Fenghuang Ancient Town Day 2: Dehang Miao Village➜ Aizhai Bridge➜ Tianwen Observatory➜ Biancheng Chadong Day 3: Wulongshan Grand Canyon (Ruo Mi Cave)➜ Liye Ancient Town➜ Liye Qin Jian Museum➜ Bamianshan Day 4: Ruoba La➜ Furong Town • 🚉How to get there 🚄High-speed rail: Fenghuang Ancient Town Station ✈️Airplane: Arrive in Changsha➠ Take the maglev train/airport bus to Changsha South and transfer to the high-speed rail🚅 ⚠️You can choose to take a taxi🚗, bus🚌, or maglev🚊 from Fenghuang Ancient Town High-speed Rail Station to the ancient town scenic area. The bus and maglev have fixed stops and require more walking. Taxis have more freedom in where you can get off. • 🗺️Travel Guide ▪️Fenghuang Ancient Town The Tuojiang River reflects the brilliance of the three thousand lights of Fenghuang City. However, I prefer the way it looks when it just wakes up, with fog covering the river and birds chirping. ▫️Dehang Miao Village The original Miao village style, surrounded by mountains, so quiet that it doesn't feel like it's on earth. The ticket includes a visit to the Miao Village, Liusha Waterfall, and Astronomical Observatory. ▪️Aizhai Bridge A rainbow bridge spanning two sides surrounded by mountains. It's hard to imagine the magnificence before you see it in person. ▫️Astronomical Observatory A naturally formed stone platform with a bottomless canyon below and cliffs above. It has a strong immortal-xia style, and you can take great photos📷 without aerial photography. ▪️Biancheng Chadong The prototype of "Biancheng" is not Fenghuang, but Chadong. Located at the junction of Hunan, Chongqing, and Guizhou provinces, the Huayuan River flows through it. You can take the "Lala Ferry" mentioned in the car to Cuicui Island. In the evening, it's so beautiful to eat by the river with the wind of Xiangxi. ▫️Wulongshan Grand Canyon The Ruo Mi Cave is amazing. It's so cold in the summer that it smokes. None of the caves I've been to before are as large and open as this one. The "Nine Dragon Divine Pillars" and "Sharingan" formed by hundreds of millions of years of waiting are worth seeing. ▪️Liye An ancient town surrounded by the You River. The Liye Qin Jian Museum houses three national treasure-level bamboo slips, not to be missed. ▫️Bamianshan See the cliffs and sea of clouds❗️At an altitude of over 1,000 meters, there are homestays on the mountain and you can also set up your own tent🏕️. ▪️Ruoba La The "beautiful and beautiful place" in Tujia language. The palace built for the TV series is very photogenic📷. ▫️Furong Town An ancient town on a waterfall. It's not comparable to Fenghuang, each has its own characteristics, and both are worth checking in. • 💡Tips: A taxi from Fenghuang High-speed Rail Station to the ancient town costs💰24, starting with three people. Fenghuang Ancient Town lights up at 7:30 pm. Liusha Waterfall in Dehang requires a high water period. The "Snack Bar Parking Lot" on Aizhai Bridge is a great angle to take photos of the bridge. The "One Fish, Three Provinces" fish pot in Chadong is delicious❗️ You can navigate🧭 to the Sun-dried Clothes Rock for the sea of clouds on Bamianshan. The black building in Ruoba La is at the end of the road. Furong Town lights up at 7 pm.

Xiangxi Jishou Travel Guide I. Introduction to Attractions 1. Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture Museum - Free admission, scan ID card to enter. - The museum is large and showcases the history, culture, customs, religious beliefs, and folk crafts of Xiangxi. There are also many intangible cultural heritage exhibits, such as the glittering Miao silver ornaments, colorful Tujia brocade, Xiangxi Miao embroidery, and mysterious witchcraft culture. Estimated visiting time: 2-3 hours. - Tip: Ask the staff if there are any volunteer guides available on the day. You might encounter a young girl around ten years old who gives excellent explanations. 2. Qianzhou Ancient City - Free entry to the ancient city. Estimated visiting time: 3-4 hours. Suitable for visiting in the evening. - You can rent a set of traditional costumes in the ancient city and take photos while strolling around. There are performances in the evening. - You can take a cruise to the City That Never Sleeps (tickets required). However, last year's National Day was relatively quiet in the City That Never Sleeps, and there wasn't much to eat. Going to the City That Never Sleeps might make you miss the performance in the ancient city. Please plan your itinerary accordingly. 3. Aizhai Scenic Area - Includes Aizhai Bridge Scenic Area, Jidou Miao Village Scenic Area, and Dehang Canyon Scenic Area. Combined tickets and individual tickets are available. Estimated visiting time: 1 day. - Aizhai Bridge Scenic Area: Includes Aizhai Bridge and Cliff Plank Road. Locate the Aizhai Bridge Scenic Area Visitor Center. Aizhai Bridge is located above Dehang Grand Canyon and has a total length of 1779 meters. - Jidou Miao Village Scenic Area: Includes Jidou Miao Village and Wentian Terrace. Locate the Aizhai Scenic Area Visitor Center. Jidou Miao Village is a semi-developed Miao village where locals reside. The scenery is average. Wentian Terrace is inspired by Qu Yuan's "Heavenly Questions." Climbing Wentian Terrace feels like being in the clouds and between the mountains. It's worth a visit. - Dehang Canyon Scenic Area: Includes Dehang Miao Village and Dehang Grand Canyon. Locate the Dehang Canyon Scenic Area Visitor Center. After passing through Dehang Miao Village, you can take an electric car to Jade Belt Waterfall and Flowing Sand Waterfall (note: two different directions). It's recommended to spend more time in this scenic area. - Tip: It's recommended to start from Aizhai Bridge and end at Dehang Scenic Area, as the route is more convenient. If you choose public transportation, pay attention to the last bus times. Taking a taxi from the city center will incur an empty car fee for the return trip. It's recommended to bring a raincoat during National Day as there are frequent showers. II. Food Specialties Xiangxi cuisine is mainly sour and spicy. Featured dishes include: 1. Xiangxi cured meat: Firm texture, rich aroma, can be stir-fried or steamed. 2. Blood pudding duck: Duck blood and glutinous rice are made into blood pudding and cooked with duck meat. The taste is spicy and delicious, perfect with rice. 3. Rice tofu: Delicate texture, paired with sour and spicy sauce, very appetizing and delicious. 4. Sour soup fish: Tender fish meat, sour soup to whet your appetite, leaving you wanting more. III. Travel Tips 1. Although there are relatively fewer people during National Day, some popular attractions may still have a certain amount of traffic. Plan your itinerary in advance. 2. Respect local customs and religious beliefs. 3. Bring rain gear, as there are frequent showers during National Day. 4. Pay attention to the opening hours and last bus times of the scenic areas, and arrange your visiting order accordingly.

The small town of Xiangxi has many stories

In the 18th year of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Jie, the Imperial Censor of Huguang, inspected the military defenses and passed through Luqi, where many people were infected with malaria. After a difficult journey to Lvdongshan Village in the Miao Village of Lengzhai River, an old woman used local tea leaves to make a soup for them to drink. Half an hour later, the symptoms of the soldiers infected with malaria disappeared. Lu Jie was very pleased and gave the old woman one tael of gold, and reported the details to the court. To reward the Miao Village, the court named Lvdongshan Village as Golden Village, and the tea produced here was called 'Golden Tea.' Since then, the story of 'one tael of gold for one tael of tea' has been widely spread in Xiangxi. This is my first time in Xiangxi. Walking through the ancient city, I found that it still retains the bluestone roads and the small river flows calmly, giving it a unique charm. It is said that small towns have many stories. Mr. Shen Congwen's 'Border Town' almost won the Nobel Prize in Literature. I think it must have its literary value and content. In addition, the yellow peaches of Xiangxi are also very delicious, 3 jin/10 yuan, very affordable. The surrounding attractions; Phoenix Ancient City, Zhangjiajie, Furong Town, each have their own characteristics...

99% of people in Xiangxi don't know that I've clocked in for you

Xiangxi, an ancient and natural city in Hunan, China. The land of Xiangxi is a natural textbook. Here, the atmosphere is always filled with nature and classicism. People live off the mountains and the water, always having their own beautiful way of life and path to happiness. They believe in the laws of nature and are convinced that 'a life dominated by material things is pitiful.' We have always known Xiangxi through the writings of Shen Congwen, seeing the Xiangxi embellished by the writer's pen. ~ Vast golden orange groves, the little boat that Cui Cui and her grandfather take to cross the river, the bamboo baskets carried by people on the streets, the cloth dyers, and the colorful clothing and ingenious silver ornaments of the Miao people. Everything is lively and vibrant at the tip of the pen, making one long for and fantasize about Xiangxi ~ . 🚄Transportation Generally, you can first ✈️ or 🚄 to Changsha, then take the Changsha-Jishou 🚄, and arrive in 2.5 hours, then charter a car or rent a car to reach the scenic area. . 👉Itinerary Day1: Qianzhou Ancient City - Qianzhou Ancient City Streets—Sanmenkai City Tower—Wanrong River Pier—Take a cruise—Sleepless City Day2: Aizhai Cliff Walkway - Aizhai Bridge - Wentiantai - Dehang Canyon . ⚠️The ticketing is a bit complicated, pay attention Aizhai Wonder Tourism Scenic Area, divided into Dehang Canyon Scenic Area, Jidou Miao Village Scenic Area, Aizhai Bridge Scenic Area (including Cliff Walkway➕Aizhai Bridge Sightseeing)⚠️Paragliding at Aizhai Bridge 🪂 is charged separately 🎫Combo ticket 💰265 online purchase Aizhai Bridge joint ticket 180 (Aizhai Bridge, Jidou Miao Village, Wentiantai) Dehang Canyon 80 yuan . 👉What to play❓ ✅Qianzhou Ancient City 🎫Free On the first day of arrival in Jishou, you can stay in the city for one night, go to see the night view of Qianzhou Ancient City, then take a boat 🚢 to Xiangxi Sleepless City, the boat ticket is 39/person, while watching the night view light show you can also watch performances up close, the night view is gorgeous and spectacular, and when you arrive at Sleepless City there is also a street of gourmet food and performances, which is extraordinarily lively ✅Aizhai Bridge It boasts the world's four number one bridge wonders, along the cliff walkway all the way to the viewing platform, you can also walk under the bridge, overlooking the Dehang Canyon ✅Wentiantai The 'Asking Heaven' written by the poet Qu Yuan of the Chu state is about this place, with three sides open to the air, peaks arrayed, towering rock pillars, looking down you can see Yuquan Stream, very magnificent, on rainy days you can see clouds and fog, drone photography is very spectacular, this is also a place where the Miao people pray and offer sacrifices, and it is also a location for 'Wonder Woman' in China Wei one scene 👉Accommodation: This time we stayed at the Jishou Xiangxi Sunshine International Hotel in Jishou city area, the environment and catering are quite good . 👉Dining: In Jishou city area, Furong Li Changsha Restaurant (Shengshi Haoting Store) Aizhai Bridge Scenic Farmhouse Wood Fire Restaurant, I have to say that Hunan cuisine is really delicious, the taste is a bit strong, specialty dishes like farmhouse stir-fried meat, Xiangxi smoked meat, and rice flower fish 🐟 are all very tasty .

I especially like to go to some ethnic minority areas and come to Xiangxi. How can I not go to Miao Village? It is located in the Miao Miao Village in the Guzhang County to Jishou, and the Chinese translation is Beautiful Miao Village in the Canyon Creek Side. Not only can you experience the local folk culture, but you can also enjoy the beautiful natural scenery. Before entering Miao Village, there is a special wine song, a group of people sent representatives and Miao girls to the song, and then drink three bowls of rice wine can pass. Every Miao Amei has a good voice, always singing a moving song, so that I am envious of this five-tone person. A small stream flows from the village, and a multi-flag suspension bridge connects the two banks. Walking on it deliberately swayed, as if returning to the childhood of the sexually naughty moment. Through this long passage, you can go to the depths of the village to experience the Miao culture. I really like those places that are not overexploited, always retaining the unique simplicity and authenticity.

In the morning, the fog is faint, and the mountains are like mountains. Later, the mist gradually spreads out and the sun shines. Furong Town Tujia Diaolou Building is like a landscape painting with vines and trees. The ancient town of Yongshun County in Xiangxi is famous for its Xie Jin movie "Furong Town" and has become one of the most popular ancient towns in Hunan.

In addition to the famous Fenghuang ancient town, Xiangxi also has a relatively simple Miao culture of folk culture. Anyone who has been to Phoenix knows that there are many Miao villages in Phoenix. They still maintain traditional customs and habits. They will sing folk songs and greet guests when they meet guests. But now many Miao villages are open for visitors to visit and interact. Many local children have been called by their parents to welcome tourists. They will sing folk songs around you, or sing along to you to give them money. Sometimes you look at their begging eyes and don't give them some money. Although tourism will bring a local economy, poor management will also destroy some traditional folk culture.
