Play in the Phoenix came to Phoenix purely for vacation, a temporary escape from the noisy city, so I stay in town most of the time, not one by one visit all the surrounding attractions.
Came to Phoenix the next day, the Pathfinder bookstore owner who asked a riding tour of the route, by the way rented a bicycle, 15 yuan / day. Boss suggested that I go from Phoenix to guanzhuang this one line, because the car is relatively small, the way people wander in the pastoral scenery. As for the Phoenix to黄丝桥古城and to the December Fall Hill these two routes, scenic though very good, but not suitable for riding tour, because vehicles traveling in a lot less secure. Phoenix to guanzhuang back and forth about three hours along the way a lot of the last downhill, if the physical is not good, which is very excruciating. To the north-east direction along the Tuo, charming scenery, into the guanzhuang I can see a small island, we might walk to the island, the island actually has a little white rabbit, Pidianpidian went to my front, it is surprise ah! If you fall there, scenery will be better, you can see the row of trees to make dye Oh!
On the third day morning, I decided to go to Allah, to visit黄丝桥古城. Phoenix Bridge, there is no direct train to the yellow wire, even though many of the car indicated to the old town, in fact, they go to Allah (ticket 3 yuan) let you ride tricycles. The ancient city of about one kilometer away from Allah, the one-way ride tricycles 2 yuan. In the tricycle driver's suggestion, I did not go to the ancient city, but to the local Iron Horse rocks the village of La nest, a newly opened Miao Village. Tickets are 15 yuan, with talks, accompanied by specialized guides. (Later, I became aware of all the attractions tickets Phoenix guide fees are included.) Guided tours that I alone went to Miao Village was very surprised, but also asked me to come back next time remember to bring a boyfriend. ^ _ ^ Surnamed Wu, accompanied by my guide, once in Dongguan, Zhejiang and other places to work, so Mandarin very well. He was very enthusiastic, from time to time to remind me where is a good place to take pictures, and he was taking pictures of the technology is also a good oh! When I praised him, he was a bit shy, saying that because they know stockade wants to travel, so he read some books related to the hope that tourist satisfaction. Here rivers, hills, rocks, wells, small bridges, have their own stories, fascinating ah! Last tour guide took me to come to their venues, so I appreciate their performances. Although I was the only one visitors, their performance has not cut any corners, welcome drums, weaving clothes drum, during the court's Concubine, dance, song playing with the leaves on the folk songs, 11 sent, so I am a big eye-opener.
One bamboo dance, reunion dance, but also let me join. Their enthusiasm for simplicity I moved. Later, receiving information from other tourists, where the stockade hospitality is very thoughtful, even if only one person you will not refuse the show. A stockade after the tricycle driver was found still in situ, etc. I have been waiting for 3 hours. After I got out, he said, afraid that I can not find the car back to Allah, so simply and so on. This back and forth, he has only taken 5 yuan. Once again moved.
On the fourth day did not go nowhere, in the ancient city of watching Shen Cong-wen's book. When the afternoon to the North Gate Pier 1 Miao clothing rental shops, put on clothes Miao take pictures. Shop the child is a Han Chinese old people, and her daughter is a photographer, a lot of work has won awards. Here the clothing is very beautiful, but also clothes and jewelry ranging want to put on a full Miao clothes, only this one Oh! In general, where a set of 5 yuan Miao clothes, the students, then 4 yuan, there are some simple closed 3 per style. Are free to take pictures after wearing啦! For the elderly will help you to put on. Do not belittle Miao clothes, wearing a very complex and heavy ah! I wear a dress, a skirt on a single 3 kg, combined with neck-base stacked layers of silver collar and wishful locks, as well as the fine head of silver crown, I can almost stand up in! Old to see such a scenario, Hei hei smiled: "If you are a miaojia aristocracy, who still does not stop it! Seem miaojia aristocratic, waist and neck are very tough ah!
Eighth day coincides with the fifth day of Lunar New Year is a mountain river country fair days (Mountain River catch 3, 8), living in a room next door I am in Taiwan, some couples together Qucourenao. As the road very far, about half an hour, plus go to the market the Japanese Trinidad and Tobago, we decided to chartered to go to 40. (Take the bus in Phoenix Road, ticket 3 yuan). As the market began bustling around 11 o'clock, and we first went to visit the Hmong museum. Tickets are 20 yuan, there are Hmong girl guide. Admire the museum's curator of folks to the village to borrow money, will last Miao Wanglongyunfei of Jiuzai converted into a museum, and from private collection of a large number of exhibits, visitors systematic understanding of Hmong history and culture. After the tour finished, if available, can also learn from the Hmong girl flower drum beat, I have tried啦, very fun! 11:30 Back to the fairs, has been drawing huge crowds, many Hmong woman who ran a stall selling embroidery, fabrics, Miao clothing, as well as silver, dazzling. Along the market has always been into the mountains, you can see a nursing home (where King has been off the word), along the nursing home next to the mountain road winds through the mountains, we came to a well-preserved shitouzhai ---- Ma On Shan (no tickets ). Bangshan stockade was built, in addition to the new house was constructed with dirt, old houses are piled with granite. We came to one of the families at home, take a rest month. Master of the house is very warm, but also come up with their own BRANDIED entertain us. Accompanied by Wang sister suggested that she make fermented glutinous rice from the eggs, these words, he went to the next door and bought eggs. Soil eggs really fragrant ah! Remind everyone that Miao Village where toilets are located in livestock circles, if mentally prepared to go Oh! Bid farewell to the masters of the simple and honest, we are back to fair catch a ride to La-Er-Shan (2 yuan / person). As we have previously visited Miao Village, Ishibashi Miao Village we do not go, in the gigantic stone bridge stay for a while, they return to Phoenix.
The sixth and seventh day, I stay in the city school cross-stitching, in one called "the ancient city of Cross-stitch" in the shop. Cross-stitch that only the European powers? Wrong! Miao people from there will be a long time ago. In the Miao museum, I saw a lot of embroidery products, many of which are cross-stitching, for example, used to hide the bride's handkerchief is a beautiful cross-stitch products.
Live in Phoenix to Phoenix to live the best riverside Diaojiaolou, not only beautiful natural surroundings, affordable (20 per day / person), and very clean. I live in what is called miaojia Inn, there is a large balcony, you can read tea. Man of the house an older brother were very good, (Triple an unoccupied, he would no longer arrange others, but only charge a person's bed of money, so he's Inn and was often packed), single-handedly done a good seedling vegetables, (He did the blood of ducks really rake me much food for thought ah!). You can also sit at their house boat night Tuojiang. As long as the Golden Week, where no shortage of recruits settled in Phoenix. Inn of the fame Tuojiang others large, he could set the room full of luck, but it has the same need to remind you that, because the house is a wooden structure, and a little voice will be very loud, and the other side of the pavilion 5,6 points per day for someone La erhu singing Peking Opera, is very noisy.
Phoenix went to eat in Phoenix, Ambassador of the people should know that a restaurant will have a chance to taste, well known big price is not high, I am more like it the wild catfish tofu soup (15 million), very sweet. Construction of the road there is a Beijing duck restaurant features, there are a lot of people queuing up every morning, I also want along for the ride, but when that person in front of have been waiting for nearly an hour, I gave up, if we have the opportunity to try his luck may morning, it closed at around 11, and want to buy so early as possible. From the text from the entrance into the Old Town Square through the Road, will see a take-off of beef Mi Fendian, I order a trotters powder (4 million), good ah! This noodle shop selling very well, and sometimes not at noon, and want to eat have to get to there early Oh! Water House, the ancient city of fermented glutinous rice inside eggs (1. 5 yuan) very good to eat, shop next to it an unknown rice tofu (2 million) and Tong Ye rake (5 angle) is also very delicious, Killer garlic Tong Xin Hotel cuisine (4 million)一级棒! Hongqiao next, in a paper-cutting, as well as insoles sold next to a woman selling ice cream (5 pt or 1 million), green bean soup, and sour plum drink is essential to my daily desserts. Night after night there on both sides of Hongqiao, a bit like a cold cup of Chengdu. There are several city bars, Rangers and I am rather like an inside of the book is worth a visit. In general, more affordable to eat in the Phoenix, the more expensive dishes such as duck Suantang Yu 20 to 35 yuan RMB 8-10 other meat dish, vegetables 3-4 yuan.
Shopping in Phoenix Phoenix people how good character from each store owner can be seen. Mr. Xiong Chengzao of the tie-dye an internationally renowned, I went to his shop when the dusk, he sat in front of the store to enjoy the shelter, he saw me in, and he came in, very patiently explained to me his works, and how can they appreciate tie-dye, I would totally do not care to buy. Mr. Xiong Chengzao away from the shop not far away, there is one called "primitive tribe" and hand-painted T-Shirt shop, an average price of 40 yuan / piece. Shop diagonally opposite Shibanqiao silver embroidery and other handicrafts, there is a shop selling child, the boss is a thin middle-aged man wearing glasses to see my embroidery and fabric are interested in, he was enthusiastically come up with their own collections to the explained to me, and taught me how to distinguish between old and new embroidery, as well as good or bad, if there is a chance that he might as well talk to. Hongxing in Camp Street, Church meat is very well known, 12 yuan / jin. Jiang Tang is a Phoenix specialty, I would prefer Xiong Jiang Tang ,8-10 yuan a great package, In addition, the Chang Jiang Tang also relatively well known. In the camp street bookstore, as well as on the border town Hongqiao book publishing house can play 8 off. In addition to Shen's work, personally think that the Dragon Spring Festival's "Taste Xiangxi" worth a read, especially in the Phoenix before the official visit can be given more or less contours. The ancient city where the boss generally will not raise prices, so the price can not be that we pressed very end.

Little experience
1. Locals are very friendly, and many women will ask you whether you want to boat, even if you refused, when you can not find the place, they are still willing to guiding you.
2. Do not have to visit each of the stockade, you can choose a Miao Village, plus a stockade Tujia (for example, or Shu Du Luo Jia Tang).
3. Go to the market, then remember that bargaining, silver products in general more than 10 20.
4. Octagon to take photographs of the ancient city panorama, to locals questioning the way up the mountain. Not up to the summit, mountainside stairs every Department has a tombstone, it is a shooting near a good place.
5. Phoenix sunshine, good sunscreen preparations. Multi-band one coat, to prevent a sudden cooling.
6. Choose a good place, or on the balcony at the inn, and makes reading the book Shen Cong-wen.
7. Phoenix is a need for a little reflection of the ancient city, a couple of days do not understand this place.
