The same as the ancient city of Lijiang, with Phoenix, with a lot of similarities. Lijiang, with more of the Petty Bourgeoisie, mysterious Dongba culture, Tibetan Buddhism and the high to the side of the Yulong Snow Mountain, Lijiang, cast a shadow over a layer of mystery to the romantic color. The Phoenix is more of the beautiful landscapes, mountains in a beautiful city, with her close-knit that appears in the Chinese history of those celebrities, each dynasty has the Miao people uprising. Phoenix, the rule of western Hunan center, ancient stronghold of the ruling minority in Western Hunan.

The closure of the mountain, making a lot of people have a kind of outward Xiangxi complex, more people are out wandering harbor, hometown glory dream. Here is the republic's first Prime Minister Xiong Xiling, writers Shen Cong-wen, the painter Huang Yongyu and other homeland. The Lijiang, the rule of the East Bana Xi Center, a beautiful plateau Bazi, Tea-Horse Road on the only way, is more of a inward on the surrounding attractions.

Phoenix Ancient China with the close ties of each dynasty, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the southern border, "barbarians" of repression and Miao people's resistance is always the main part of the southern political affairs. Tseng Kuo-Fan Qing destroy the Taiping soldiers brought most of western Hunan Miao are soldiers of the Kuomintang during the war are also the Phoenix division of the 128 soldiers. "Hunan people best suited to a soldier," I think people should be referred to Hunan bar. Xiangxi bandits during the liberation of mind, Oolong mountain bandits are also recorded took place in this land, I heard that this is adapted from the true story, but remember the real bandits bandits Xiangxi protagonist made have changed. Hunan bandits until the 60's before-and-destroy clear, therefore, the past, the people of this land is the most unruly, Chiang Kai-shek had no alternative but to areas known as the bandit.

In Hunan, the 10 days trip, with Hunan, chat with friends, really truly understand the folkways of Hunan Haoyongdouhen, many public office, wearing a uniform is still bandit where Fei Qi.

Sit to Phoenix from Jishou CMB, with TV, driving a very fashionable young man, very spiritual, he drove also very good, 1 Sheung Jacky Cheung's concert on the release, then Adu, Dikeniuzi. Later Coincidentally, from Phoenix back to Jishou also happens to his car. Gangchu Jishou out and did not feel anything, and later appeared in a roadside river road on the other side is a piece of the hill, mountain river, is a piece of the paddy fields, the fields from time to time groups of ducks and a Bath of the buffalo. Vehicles along this river have been opened, then check the map originally named Wan Rong Jiang, eyeful are green, the river there are many children in swimming fish, slowly, from Zhangjiajie to bring disappointment swept away empty, eagerly looking forward to the emergence of the Phoenix.

There are songs accompanied by more than an hour's time was rapidly approaching, the driver said the Phoenix to see the transit in front of a mountain out of a city, jagged house, a film, distributed in the surrounding river between Castle Peak and 1.

From the Metro into the city, walking the streets in the quartzite, reminds me of Lijiang, the same as the Ming and Qing architecture, like quartzite Road, only without the roadside murmur of flowing water and the inversion of the weeping willows; no distant white-Mang The snow-capped mountains, but more a river. Hongqiao outside edge in the East to spend 3 yuan money, buy a thick sugar cane, cut into the 4,5-segment in her arms, walking and eating, trash can small, had to take a bag loaded sediment, and then fell to the cousin of the bamboo basket inside the door. Turn in the city for a while, found that although from time to time someone to clean up the ground is still a lot of garbage, compared to Lijiang, the sanitary conditions are bad, very little trash, garbage, mostly installed cousin doorstep of the bamboo basket.

Phoenix quartzite under way is probably the city's sewage pipeline system bar, the ancient city of the north Da Tuo, the east is a stream of water inside the East wall and North wall. Said to the south and west of the original are hills, Phoenix is the two faces of water, two backers, and later engage in new town building and put the flat of the hill, into a new city. Now although the surrounding hills of the forest known as the original forests, only the point of the South China wooded mountains. Let's talk about listening to local villagers, the original walls of the Phoenix is not so smooth, making Xiangxi bandits in mind when the film is an old city walls city walls, and later engaged in tourism development, stripped off the old city walls, base a new Bale. The south near the Great Wall is to the side walls stripped of his dilapidated, a new base eight watch tower walls, listening to, watching the city center compound in the county should be stripped off the original County Yamen, or taking part House cover, in which the garden green, family wings everywhere, balcony clothes fluttering in the breeze, really Wuhuaizai, too unpleasant. South Gate, and Simon was back in the wall had been removed during the war, when the Japs have hit Jishou, aircraft have been bombing the Phoenix, because the only way out of the city outside the east gate of the quartzite Guan Dao, the KMT in order to defense and counter - convenience, the west and south walls removed, and now being rebuilt.

Quartzite along the East Gate Road, in the past only a Guan Dao, the former line of wins over the Huang Yongyu Tsui House, to Shen Cong-wen's cemetery walk. Tuo Tuo down the river on the left, right over the South Mountain, which is Kikunami Hill. Are residential areas on both sides of old houses along the road, feels like a landscape painting volume. There is a street facing the mouth in the pan, there are several hundred small crab, dressed for every four strings of deep-fried the sale. Finally caved in and bought 3 strings of fifty cents a bunch, the boss and then a bunch of Rao and then crab claws, pliers, skull eating them altogether down, ate 12 at last intolerable. Recommended to eat a few, but it must not eat, or, diarrhea is unavoidable. Out of more than about two years, and then folding up the hill to the cemetery Shen Cong-wen, a simple five Chinese agate stones carved before and after the poem. Master of youth in the army, and then Beijing adrift, after they die, be buried back home, the characters are depicted with the Hunan relevant, natural, many people think that a master described in the book "Border Town" is the Phoenix, in fact, Phoenix is the hometown of the masters, while the border town is now Guizhou Province border town at the junction of tea Cave. He visited the tomb of finished masters, along the mountains, up to the Kikunami Peak, and then climbed over a hill can be made to the South Mountain Forest Park, then down to the old town. Watch Phoenix in the mountains and the ancient city of Da Tuo, numerous unspeakable beauty recommend a trip on foot, time about 3 hours. If the spring to be taken at the roadside was tender bamboo shoots, wild fern and toon tip, each taking a lot of it is easy. Down cross at the familiar restaurant owner, fried a bacon fried fern, bamboo shoots and Chinese toon ? ? scrambled eggs, it is delicious.

Speaking of eating, we have very good luck, the first day of the old house restaurant on the privilege of knowing Liu boss, after all, in his tonne to eat here, absolutely authentic miaojia & Deli. Liu boss was originally engaged in Phoenix County, the Miao people, it is generally the history he knows it. Da Xiashou his wife, the boss stir-fries, miaojia chicken, miaojia spicy meat, fish and blood acid-rake duck is sure to try the. Tonne, Miao-brewed rice wine is to drink a few glasses, although the sweet, pure natural, without alcohol, but be careful A, stamina great. And the owner of the cooked mixture, then left, they can buy at 10 pounds, 30 dollars and buy one's own smoked bacon 3 months, the streets from time to sell is 3 months A, meat should be more people, but do not sell. Morning, 7 to 9 points, along the East Gate in the East Center Street to go look inside, not to the old house restaurant when the road on the left, there is a breakfast place, hot business, shopkeepers were a couple, the door noodle, noodles, steamed buns, Jian Jiao, pig ears, Zhu Tourou, pig pork, spiced corned egg, spend two dollars to eat a bowl of rice noodle pork ribs, and then cut a piece of money, more than 12 of Zhu Tourou definitely cool to eat A. 9 pm to 11 am, and 1:00 in front of old houses restaurants, a lot of eating places, including a Shaokao Tan, there are baked potato chips, eggplant, fern, and bamboo shoots, it is best to eat the fifty cents a bunch of roasted Bracken and bamboo shoots, absolutely a good supper.

Phoenix is now also have the same petty bourgeoisie, as Lijiang, bars, mainly in the side's few remaining Diaojiaolou Tuo, the leaning against the window, watching the Hongqiao, river, boat, really cozy. However, Corona beer for 25 yuan a, I think he might as well buy 10 kg rice wine, in the darkness, sitting outside the north shore, or hire a boat, river rafting on the wine when the song is not drunk endlessly it. But this song is best with the boatman learn two local folk songs, do not sing pop songs to unpleasant.
Mr. Shen Lao seem to have articles that talk about the evening boat Shun Da Tuo down and enjoy scenery on both sides, unfortunately I have not read before. Old gentleman who did not think future generations are destined for his grave and remember the standard process, general bargaining are 10 yuan to Shen Cong-wen cemetery, 20 dollars round-trip啦. Quotes regardless of how the evening must be the day, find a good boatman, river down to the Chen Lao cemetery, and then come back. Listen boatman Phoenix talk about the history, the story of Hongqiao, Shen's life, Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce and local people fighting the story of Feng Shui; school in the first local or Huaihua accent folk songs love songs, to enjoy the lights of cross-strait Diaojiaolou, a scene that, like Wonderland . But learning the songs from the time when certain requirements on both sides of Diaojiaolou boatman not too close, be careful to throw Xijiao Shui. Ship, I think the best private boat ride, 10 yuan / person to Shen Cong-wen's grave to come back. Zhangjiajie Yellow Dragon Cave who opened the company's vessels travel time to work as early as 7:00 to 5:00 evening, so had to take a private boat as early as 7:00 to 5:00 evening before and after the Yellow Dragon Cave is one way the company's vessels 30 / person. However, the best private boat in advance with the boatman to talk about a good life jacket. Every day through the East Gate and North Gate area when the boatman will ask you whether or not to ship, this time the boat can get things right.

In the ancient city, there is sure to teach you a few spots: Shen Cong-wen's former residence, former residence of Xiong Xiling, Yang shrine, Chen Clan Hall (Oolong Mountain bandits recorded in the drilling Mountain Leopard Mansion). But apart from Chen Clan Hall, and the rest in the photo shoot outside and listen to allusions can be, and no need to buy a ticket inside. Chen Clan Hall but you can go look, because this is the only well-preserved the Phoenix big house, because the Cultural Revolution is the seat of the Central Military Commission will be able to preserve, other crazy in that era had been hit. Go take a look at the wall paintings, carved furniture and miaojia big bed.

Hunan is a mysterious place, Jin Yong's novels in the Blue Phoenix is Miaonv, martial arts, and poisoning their ability to have really strange; martial arts in the famous "put cup" and "Vampire" is also from the legend of Miao. Therefore, to Hunan ago, recommended to buy two books about Western Hunan culture and history books to see, so would be more interested in traveling, like to go to Tibet before the look of Tibetan Buddhism and Tibet, the history of the same. Recommended by the "goods reading Xiangxi" Guangdong Tourism Publishing House and "big western Hunan Kingdoms" national publishing house. Come, chat with local villagers, will benefit greatly from the.

Wen Hunan powerful bandits early in the Chen Clan Hall tour guides cater to exactly hit a Miao people, so the prototype from the Diamond Mountain Leopard bandits Zhang Ping chatted, talk to more than 20 kilometers away from the Phoenix Department has referred to as a "bandit 18 Village, "a place where there are Dazhai 18, Xiaozhai 48. Difficult terrain, there is a great valley, in many places people are treated as a closed, Wan Fu Mo open. Regardless of liberation of the bandits, or 49 years, and has been in 60 years was referred to the riots in the Miao people are with this place as a lair of the. At present all the mountain is completely developed areas. See I am very interested, cousin of great insight to say that the place to go at least three days, there must be with the locals, but also fully equipped with a self-tours, such as tents, sleeping bags and the like, can go to Adventure 1. I had to give up the idea of, cousin of the phone to the next, saying that I may have comrades interested.

To Phoenix the next day, you can arrange to stroll the scenic spots around the city. 黄丝桥古城, hooked Liang Miao Village, slate Miao, Southern Great Wall is a line, you can get up early to go黄丝桥古城from the bus station by car, and then hook Liang Miao Village, slate Miao Village, in the back on the road to the south of the Great Wall; re - looking for a day, go mountain river Miao Village, because it is in a different direction; If you have not read the cave, you can find time to take a look at Qiliang Dong; or go to the West Gate Gorge rafting. 黄丝桥古城is one of the preserved ancient city, now houses the city are seedlings, on the wall of the ticket is 20 yuan / person, there is no spectacle, it is better to see town houses, patted the walls of the photo. Do not climb the walls of delusion from the city, those Huanglong Cave's staff are equipped with walkie-talkies, they arrest people get rich by it. In the vicinity of the hook beam and slate Miao Miao Village can go walk distant hook beam needs to sit Moldova, and 10 yuan a bar. Usually there is no spectacle to the Miao Village, but some residential areas, Miao people also do not wear a national costume, and only lead a national holiday when it wore, the only holiday when they could be seen playing Drum and other folk activities. Mountain River is a big part of the already finished a large Miao Village, the original "Green Pa MILLER and WONG", anti-Japanese famous, Long Yunfei the stockade. It is a place near the Miao Village ganchang, ganchang is a country fair, on weekends, around the stockade where people have to set on the procurement and exchange of things, a lot of people wear the national dress, come up with their own products, it is worth visiting, is also a good opportunity to take photos, a pity that I missed a market day. It was said that Hmong ganchang a good opportunity for young men and women met, you can see a lot of Miao Toshio bright woman. Gap Simon said, although not mengdong he's drifting wide, but beat them at risk, and the water clear, 88 yuan tickets are cheap, can also be reduced to 78. When to go must first hit the phone, if it rains, the water level above the warning level, it can not drifted.

've Been around the place, returned to Phoenix, always feel the most beautiful here. Fine when the water is clear Tuo, and Diaojiaolou reflection in the water, distant hill mist linger; the next night's rain, morning, Tuojiang become large and too fast, water is also mixed, and water vapor on both sides of the l Diaojiaolou, the cover your piece of the crescent of the river boats. Distance near the fog around the mountains a living. Walks away from the riverside in the quartzite, the bypassing of many to take dry clothes fellow wooden hammer, grasping a few stones, a small crab, sent children to play; or out of the East Gate, walking in the damp bluestone Officer Road, Way back when Miao China Anti-Japanese Army to accept Tuen leather adaptation, start from here went to the anti-Japanese war. Is like a book, wrote: "How many heroes to the parents lost their sons and daughters of edge."

Phoenix streets, there are a lot of the young girl selling Wild fruit, forget the name of this Wild fruit, red, like red mulberry is a small cup to take the amount of the sale, and fifty cents a cup, a piece of money to three glasses to see little girl hands of small arm round after round of scratches, do not talk about a bargain. In the East Gate and North Gate there are a lot of big sister Miao allow you to wear national costume photography, a photo of money casually.

By the way, come to Phoenix must be living in the edge Tuojiang family hotels, beautiful natural surroundings, cheap, as well as humane. This is because during the SARS epidemic, visitors rarely, Phoenix is also very cheap bar prices. 15 yuan / person can live on a good family hotel, with a water heater, separate bathroom, I heard that in the past of 100 yuan, but also do well to spend tens of dollars to live Chase farm shop preparation. Heard in the past when the holiday, packed the streets of Phoenix, very hot, there are many self-tour of the foreigners, think also of terror A, more than than the people of Lijiang. We do this really an advantage, not just spend less money, or to enjoy photography is also convenient, without fear of being blocked shots啦.

Because I've just been to Zhangjiajie, Phoenix played with emotion so simple and sincere, familiar folk customs of the villagers said that change with time, want to come to Phoenix we should have come earlier, after a few years, I do not know what will become like it.

The train is moving away from the mountains of western Hunan, Hunan, for me is still a mysterious place block, hoping to have the opportunity to come back to find Shen Cong-wen's world.
