印象凤凰民俗餐厅

It's pretty good to have something like this in a tourist area, it has Miao characteristics, the blood-braised duck tastes very authentic, and it's a habit for foreign tourists like us to eat it. The restaurant is easy to find, right next to the road, with limited parking spaces, but the waiters in this restaurant are very good, and the special dishes are delicious, highly recommended!

I ate here during my trip to Hunan. This restaurant is located in Fengfeng Ancient Town, Xiangxi, Hunan. The transportation here is convenient, the environment is good, the service is OK, and it is not far from where we live. The Hunan cuisine here is good and the price is moderate.

Families! Don't just focus on Zhangjiajie! Hunan's Langshan, a "Danxia treasure," hides breathtaking scenery—a 0.33-meter-wide "One Line of Sky," a "whale-inducing sea" amidst a sea of ​​clouds, and a picturesque landscape aboard a bamboo raft. For just over 500 yuan per person, you can fully experience it all in two days and one night. Don't miss out on local-level prices! Book this guide now!

[__LINK_ICON] Daily Itinerary: Enjoy the highlights without detours. Day 1: Explore the alleys and peaks, and enjoy the nightlife. 1. Noon: Arrive and Check-in We recommend staying in Xinning County for excellent value. For a more budget-friendly stay, choose Danxia Impressions, offering spacious twin rooms for 99 yuan per night, complete with toiletries and cotton linens changed per guest. For an even more upscale experience, choose the Sun Valley B&B, which costs less than 200 yuan per person and offers a relaxing hot spring bath. After dropping off your luggage, head straight to the county's old street. Start with a bowl of Huanggang rice noodles with braised pork and pig ears for around 15 yuan, a favorite among locals. 2. Afternoon: Check out the two stunning Danxia wonders - Tianyi Alley (2 hours): A must-see walk through the "Number One Alley in the World." At its narrowest point, you have to lean sideways. Looking up, you'll see only a sliver of sunlight. The cool breeze from the rock walls is a welcome relief from the summer heat. Choose the "Entrance → Parrot Rock → Moon-Grasping Ladder → Exit" route, a 1 hour and 40 minute round trip. [__LINK_ICON] - Chili Peak (1.5 hours): Take the scenic area's sightseeing bus for 10 yuan round trip to the foot of Camel Peak. Climb up for panoramic views of Chili Peak. The "Nine-Nine Ladders" section is a bit steep, but the views from the summit are incredible. 3. Evening: Fireworks and Performances For dinner, head to the long-established "Lianshan Renjia" restaurant. Enjoy homemade smoked bacon, spicy blood duck, and bamboo rice. For 50 yuan per person, you can eat as much as you want. The stir-fried wild vegetables are a delightful mountain experience. [__LINK_ICON] After dinner, head to Shunhuangli Resort, browse the food court, and buy some Yao silver jewelry. If you're lucky, you might even catch a live performance of "Love in Lianshan." Camping by the river is also a pleasant experience, especially in the evening breeze. Day 2: Bamboo Rafting in the Sea of ​​Clouds, Returning with a Full Load 1. Morning: Chasing the Sea of ​​Clouds at Bajiaozhai Share a car to Bajiaozhai at 6:30 AM (20 yuan per person). Arrive at the observation deck before 7:30 AM. You'll have a good chance of witnessing the "whales wreaking havoc" spectacle—over a hundred rock peaks peeking through the mist, the wind-blown mist scattering them like whales chasing the waves. A phone simply can't capture the sheer majesty. [__LINK_ICON] For those with children and elders, take the cable car for panoramic views of the Danxia landscape. Descending the mountain, visit the Song Dynasty Yuntai Temple. The sound of the bells mingling with the rustling of the wind is truly soothing. [__LINK_ICON] 2. Morning: Fuyi River Rafting Take a bamboo raft for 80 yuan per person, and enjoy a leisurely 2-hour journey. The boatman will point out the "General Rock" and the "Divine Elephant Drinking Water" spot. Occasionally, you'll hear Zhuang folk songs. The red cliffs on both sides are reflected in the water, making you feel like you're swimming in a painting. [__LINK_ICON] If you don't want to raft, gazing at the General Rock from the shore is also a great way to capture the action. 3. Lunch: A delicious meal before returning home After the rafting, enjoy a local delicacy. We recommend the braised free-range chicken set at "Lianshan Bieyuan." For 168 yuan, you'll enjoy free-range chicken, seasonal vegetables, and tender rock fish. It's just in time for the return trip.
