I have the upper berth, ting, through her outstanding diplomatic skills, but also successfully replaced the lower berth of the tickets lying on the bed in and my upper berth. Quickly settled luggage, little guys stumbled on the floor of the shop, the children happy little face like a flower. . . In the shop is two Changsha MM, melon seeds knock non-stop along the way the ground is a thick layer of the plot, which makes me feel comfortable, if middle of the night to fall from the upper berth is also guaranteed to be absolutely nothing would happen; next car is Photographic Association, a member of a group of Shanghai, with a wide range equipped Changqiangduanbao to Xiangxi collecting folk songs.
Night free, then the next day at around 7:30, the train arrive Huaihua. Too late to buy a ticket out of station, then transfer of the platform at the station to the Mayang Huaihua car, Ha ha! The typical "first on the train, and then replacement ticket."

Found the shuttle to Phoenix, it still needs some time to go until sold out. Silly sitting in the car and saw the locals are eating the same kind of like grass jelly, Dongdong, transparent, mixed with the red pepper, but also get off to a, 3 money, a catchy, taste great Yes, moment, like a clean sweep exterminated. 9:40 am, shuttle departure time, heading straight for Phoenix.
Castle Phoenix:
11:40 Xu, our car into the mountain.
Phoenix is located in the cove of a small town surrounded by mountains, leisurely Tuojiang through cities. . .
Shen Cong-wen on the generation of writers born here, and his short story "Border Town", describing the mountain is the Phoenix.
One into the mountain, they saw the Nazuo landmark of the "rainbow bridge", white walls and black tiles, across the top in the Tuo, no time to look closely, that is, under the trail winds along the bridge into the room first to find a foothold. Phoenix people almost every household has a family hotel, both clean and cheap, we looked for a waterfront stay there, 40 yuan a room, outside there is a large terrace, you can see the scenery Tuojiang at night can also lie on bamboo chair on the stars. To lay down their luggage, a little rest, we will proceed to the Tuojiang side.
To jump rocks close to 35 minutes on its way. Because it is the eve of 11, so not many tourists, Tuo was very quiet side appears. Jump Rock is standing in the water, a roots rock column Tuo, you can walk across the River. The river is not deep, river bottom covered with plants, probably because it is the reason plants it, Tuojiang green water looks exceptionally, exceptionally Qing!
Diaojiaolou is a Phoenix residential characteristics, Mu Banfang half on shore, half hanging in the water, relying on a few Gen Mugun supports and seem only to lift a foot, so he became Diaojiaolou. Standing jump rocks, you can see panoramic views of Hong Qiao, Jiang cruise across the surface from time to time, the bow of Tracy sang Barcarolle, the Elder brother shouting stern of the ship number, echoed each other, Shashi nicely. Visitors sit on board to see mountains, he was rippling blue waves.
The weather has been overcast the day, near dusk, the sky suddenly clear up, the golden sun shining antique Hongqiao, the town suddenly filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. . .
Phoenix's diet is quite distinctive, duck blood DCB is one of the characteristics of local, sticky rice with duck blood, and mixing, and then get fried duck pieces put together, taste especially good! Of course, every dish is put a hot pepper, because Hunan ----- Another feature is hot!
Back to the landlord eaten dinner at home taking a bath, a door was shocked, which hee hee noises coming to the large group of students, the whole Inn once bustling. Bathroom facilities, but fortunately, we went to have fairly early, do not wait in line, I am just at the door for Ting Shou-drive, because when an inattentive to burst into the wild some people would go.
When the Tuojiang the little spark, we in riverside laundry, ting holding clothes over the water, I am responsible to wring clothes dry.
Shake to the front of a boat and asked: "You are the people of Shanghai, right?"
I looked at him:
"Shanghai men are very diligent," he said:
"Oh, I was in Zhejiang"
Ting has also laughed. . .
At night, Phoenix began to lively up the night market, there is a street snack, there are silver one street. Criss-cross the alley packed crowd coming and going. Hand-made old Jiang Tang, and tens of pounds of sugar in his hands like a play, like acrobatics, which make and sell, buy a pack of taste, it is a sticky teeth! Silver is a pure hand-made, hard-working women, who were all Xiangxi ingenuity of the craftsmen, if you like, you can buy as a souvenir. I like a ring, but is said here is not silver, so there is no buy it later also regret for a long time!
Hours of the night back to the inn, looked on Tuojiang water to sleep!
The next day wake up and rush to buy fruit and Hongqiao mouth, the local number is a kiwi, an asking price, "one money" to start thought it was a money one, felt very cheap, it is one who wants to cash a catty , suddenly there is a feeling of looting Kiwi! Pro pay, when three coins she gave her not to, saying that here, do not accept coins, even the banks are the same, do not take notes. I told her, refused yuan is illegal, she just smiled at me, meaning is clear: mountains high and the emperor far, the law also gnaw! In desperation to the Zhang 5 yuan notes, saw that she pulled up the trousers, juggle work out like coins from the leg of a stocking where to find me, and holding the temperature goes on with the foot notes, and I can not help laughing-ting really No wonders, ah! Socks are such a function, I'd first discovered, Ha ha!
While eating, while browsing through the Shen Cong-wen's former residence, came to the ancient city wall, take the foot of the wall at a Granny doing breakfast, as if Liangpi with bean sprouts and the like, dry pick, and 1.5 / bowl, taste very good . After breakfast, in my instigation, put-ting Miao clothes, wearing a silver, Huo Tuotuo a miaojia woman, put a few POSS, I press down the shutter.
Then going up river, after a large water truck and went to Shen Cong-wen cemetery, just a few days before the anniversary from the text, so literati but many along the way, I also took the opportunity of some elegance, from the text of the tomb in the hillside , climb the stairs, not far from it.
