Phoenix stays in many hotels, and the prices vary according to the location and the grade of the hotel. In order to give you a clear idea, I divide the hotels in Phoenix into four types: county hotel, county inn, Tuojiang Linjiang inn and Tuojiang non-Linjiang inn. Let me say one by one:
Grand hotels and inns in the county: According to my observation, most of them live in groups, and young tourists are mainly over 30 years old. The hotel is expensive, and the house price is basically several hundred. The inn is cheap, just tens of dollars. If it is a self-help tour, it is not recommended to live in the county.
Linjiang Inn by Tuojiang River: I personally recommend staying at Linjiang Inn by Tuojiang River, especially couples. Open the window, you can see the clear Tuojiang River, blowing the river wind and enjoying the beautiful night view of the ancient city. This feeling is absolutely great and romantic. However, the price of Linjiang house is not cheap, and the house price is basically several hundred. And the closer to Hongqiao, the more expensive it is, ranging from 150-200, and it will be a little cheaper in the off-season. Personally, I recommend living upstream (Hongqiao is downstream) and living near Jinshui Bridge. There are also many hotels here, and the prices are relatively cheaper. There are also many rooms on the river, and the price is around 100 yuan. So, if you want to experience the feeling of the house facing the river and save money, you can live next to Jinshui Bridge. Here, I usually talk to my boss about the price after grinding.
Non-Linjiang Inn by Tuojiang River: Too many. You can go in from any alley next to Tuojiang River. The price is not expensive, between 20 and 80 yuan.
There is another hotel, hehe, which is Phoenix International Youth Hostel. Travelers generally know this kind of youth hostel, with single rooms and bunk beds. It's simple, but it's cheap There is also one in Fenghuang, near the east gate of Hongqiao in Fenghuang ancient city (Shawan 1 1). Turn right under Hongqiao and walk down the river for 50 meters to the tower. There are many foreign tourists living in it. Perhaps this is the only hotel in Phoenix that can book rooms all over the world through the Internet! Only 20 yuan is needed for each bed.
Second, the secret of saving money-eating articles
There are many restaurants and snacks in Fenghuang Street and Tuojiang River. But the service, taste and price can't afford it. Generally speaking, when eating in local restaurants, we should pay attention to several problems:
First: Don't go to very unpopular hotels, which are basically not very good.
Second: If the menu handed by the waiter doesn't indicate the price, be careful. This kind of restaurant generally has two vegetable prices, one for locals and one for foreigners. Here's a trick to bargain. If the food is expensive after checking out, tell the boss that he works in Phoenix and often comes to eat. This time, he brought a friend to dinner. Let him give you a firm price and the natural price will give you a discount.
Knowing these tips, I'd like to recommend some good hotels to you.
(1) gentleman's restaurant, located diagonally across from Fenghuang County People's Hospital, is also a home-cooked dish frequented by local people. The food there is cheap and delicious. Cheap, delicious and authentic. A dozen people can eat to death by ordering a table of food 100 yuan or so! There is a dish called Sauté ed Meat with Agrocybe aegerita, which is delicious.1There is a big one around 5 yuan. Then there is Nostoc commune, which is called Shaluo mushroom in our local dialect. Of course, the most important and necessary dish is Xiangxi bacon, which can be said to be a must-eat dish for Xiangxi people in the New Year.
(2) The Ambassador Hotel is a distinctive hotel in Fenghuang County, and its name was inscribed by the old man Huang Yongyu.
Phoenix also has many delicious snacks, such as: oil-fragrant Baba, Artemisia-vegetable Baba, tofu brain and barbecue. These are small things, and the price is not much more expensive. I won't say any more. Just say a rough price: four yuan for Baba, one yuan for Baba, and three yuan for a bowl of bean curd. Let's pay attention to the barbecue:
Friends who like barbecue have come to the right place. There are two blocks of barbecues in Phoenix. One is from Hongqiao to Armed Street, which is mainly eaten by tourists. Close to the ancient city, the passenger flow is large. The other is twice as big as Hongqiao. On Xinma Road, almost all Phoenix locals are eating. It is suggested that friends who want to eat barbecue take a taxi to Xinma Road and try the local barbecue night market in Phoenix. The size of this snack stall market has never even been seen in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province! The best food there is roast beef skewers. There are beef, beef tendon, butter, bezoar throat, beef tendon and so on. , are sold by the hand. Remember that they are five yuan each. And the price here is cheaper than the barbecue in Hongqiao!
If you want to eat western food, there are also some, at the head of Jinshui Bridge in Jinjiayuan. An Englishman owns an Italian pizza shop! The pizzas in this restaurant are all made fresh, which feels much better than those in Pizza Hut. It is said that the cheese in the restaurant is imported from Australia, so unlike other junk pizzas, the price ranges from 38 to 48. The environment there is very exotic, and the design and decoration are all done by the boss himself.
Romantic couples and friends strongly recommend going there to eat pizza, listen to music, have a cup of authentic Italian coffee and watch the Tuojiang River through the curtains at night. It feels really great! Students and friends who want to practice oral English can also go, order a cup of coffee, sit down and talk to the boss about the history of Phoenix and local stories. In this shop, espresso 15 yuan, hot chocolate 15 yuan, juice cola 6 yuan. Spaghetti seems to range from 30 to 40!
Third, the secret of saving money-travel articles
I don't think there is anything to pay attention to in business. Phoenix local drivers basically don't kill customers, and everyone just takes a taxi to hit the meter. The starting price of local taxis is very cheap, starting at three yuan. There are three bus stops in Phoenix: North Bus Station, which is mainly for Jishou, Changsha, Zhangjiajie (Weibo) and Changde. Tuqiaolong Station, which has buses to all Miao villages. Friends who want to go to Miao village don't have to buy tickets in the ancient city, just take the bus here. The last stop is in the Folk Garden, which is a bus dedicated to Huaihua.
Just a little, if you want to go to Qiliangdong Scenic Area, you don't need to take a bus to the bus station, because that place is less than five kilometers away from the ancient city, and there is no bus willing to pick you up. Take a taxi directly, generally 20 yuan. There is also a private car to solicit customers, as long as it is 20 yuan, just get on the bus.
Fourth, the secret of saving money-buy ginger candy
Ginger candy shops can be seen everywhere in Fenghuang ancient city, with five steps for small shops and ten steps for big shops. From the number of ginger candy shops, it is not difficult to see how high the profit of this small phoenix specialty is. There are a large number of stores, some of which are famous, and the prices are uneven. The ginger candy in many ginger candy shops is very cheap, but the first taste is not good, and the taste of ginger is not strong. Second, in order to reduce costs, businesses add pigments and spicy ingredients, and it is best not to buy this kind. Phoenix's ginger candy, personally recommend the ancient city of Liu's ginger candy, a century-old shop, has been on TV many times. It tastes authentic.
There is also the need to pay attention to the price of ginger candy. Here's a hint for you! Under normal circumstances, you can buy it at 5-6 fold of the boss's quotation.
Five, the secret of saving money-buy Xiangxi bacon
Another famous must-buy specialty is Phoenix's bacon. The production of Xiangxi bacon has its own unique technology, and authentic bacon can only be shaped after a long period of smoking and baking. Nowadays, many businesses rely on tourists who don't understand bacon, simply blackening the meat and selling it hastily. It doesn't taste like bacon at all This kind of discrimination is easy. Cut the bacon and look at the cross section of the bacon. If it is dark outside, but the meat inside is red and tender, it is usually processed quickly and not delicious. I once bought bacon in a shop next to Shen Congwen's former residence, which was ok. The name of this shop is Song Guifang. According to the boss, they also cooperated with the Food Research Institute of Jishou University and will launch more products in the future. Go shopping again next time when you are free.
As for buying raw bacon, many shops bid 35-45 yuan a catty. Generally, you can return to 30 yuan, but how much depends on your personal level. The secret of saving money-buying Miao Yin.
There is also a unique thing in the ancient city, that is Camus silverware store. There are roughly two kinds of places in Phoenix where silverware is sold. One is a specialized silverware store, which is more expensive. In addition, there are Miao aunts who set up stalls in every corner of the ancient city. The silverware they sell is basically fake. If they buy it, they will directly cut it by 2 to 3 fold.

Seven, the secret of saving money-bonfire party ticket guide
Please pay special attention. The secret that can save you money most is the bonfire party. Haha, everyone will understand this thing after reading it. This is also the hidden rule of breaking the news. As soon as you get off the bus, someone will take you to the bonfire party. Phoenix has two places for bonfire parties, one in Jinshui Village and the other in Tianxia Phoenix Hotel! To tell you the truth, I have seen it. It's really possible. It's worth seeing. But the price is not flattering. The price tag is 120 plus 200, hehe! It's more expensive than watching a movie premiere. Actually, I tell you, most of them will be taken away by tour guides, and the reserve price of all bonfire parties is around 30 yuan. Go to the ticket window to buy a ticket yourself, and just tell the conductor that a local friend told you the price. It doesn't matter if you can't cut it down. Just find a local aunt who soliciting customers and let them buy it for you. You can pay for your aunt 20 yuan's hard work! Hehe, I saved you a lot of money at once. You can buy a silver necklace with it.
Eight, the secret of saving money-bonfire party and boating on the Tuojiang River.
There is a jade belt passing through the beautiful ancient city of Fenghuang. Boating on the Tuojiang River can fully feel the beauty of the ancient city of Fenghuang. What a pity not to go boating on the Tuojiang River! However, taking the cruise ship of Gucheng Company is really expensive and scary. How can I see the scenery cheaply and have fun? Hehe, let's take a farm boat! You can take bus No.3 and get off at Baoziwan Station. There are many agricultural boats waiting for you by the river. The price is 20 yuan per person, but you can bargain, 15 yuan or 10 yuan, depending on your ability. When you take a boat to see the scenery, you can have a water fight with other friends on board. Absolutely fun and exciting! Don't make you regret taking a boat once, but be careful to get wet!
Nine, the secret of saving money-going to Miao Village
The other is Miao village. If you go to Miao Village to buy tickets, you will get dozens or hundreds of tickets. I suggest you go to the station or Tuqiaolong Station outside the Phoenix Hotel in the world, spend ten yuan to go to any Miao village you want by car, go directly to see the old buildings of Miao family, and spend money to eat their specialties at Miao family. It doesn't cost much at all. Buying a ticket is different from having a shuttle bus. Dance for you with some lame actors. This is absolutely useful!
Ten, save money tips-save trouble tips
In fact, this move is not to save money, but to save you trouble. In the ancient city, there are big sisters and aunts soliciting customers everywhere. When you meet someone, ask, are you going to Miao village? Watch the bonfire party? By boat or not? Have you eaten? This will be a bit confusing, and here I provide my housekeeping tips again. Reject them in a word. "We have just been there. I won't go again. " Hehe, this sentence seems simple. In fact, it is very useful, and it is a valuable experience I have summed up in my years of travel. Think about it. If you answer that I won't go, or don't want to go, people will definitely think that there is room for negotiation and will chase you. Once you say "I have been there", you will often leave me alone! Hmm. How interesting
In short, although there are some tips for traveling in Phoenix, there is nothing to worry about in general, and it will definitely not affect your traveling mood. The province of the province, the flower of the flower!
