First time in Xiangxi? Follow this itinerary and unlock the wonders of "Ink Painting Ancient Town + Cloud-top Skybridge + Million-Year-Old Stone Forest" every day. Even every bite will be steeped in the tangy, sour, and spicy flavors of Xiangxi. Get all the hottest Xiangxi experiences in just three days! Day 1: Fenghuang Ancient Town—A Millennium of Romance on the Tuojiang River - 2:00 PM Arrive in Fenghuang: Take the high-speed rail to Fenghuang Ancient Town Station. Take a 20-yuan shuttle bus directly to the ancient town. Stay in a riverside stilt house (180-260 yuan/night, with a window view of the Tuojiang River). Drop off your luggage and head out! - 4:00 PM Explore the Nine Scenic Spots of the Ancient Town: Purchase a 128-yuan combined ticket, focusing on the former residence of Shen Congwen (see relics of the literati and immerse yourself in the "Border Town" atmosphere) and the Wanshou Palace (featuring exquisite wood carvings). Finally, take an 80-yuan night cruise on the Tuojiang River. Watch the lanterns on both sides light up as the boat sails by, like stepping into the world of "Spirited Away." - 6:30 PM: Climb Nanhua Bridge for the night view: Nanhua Bridge offers the best view at dusk, with the lights of countless homes reflected in the Tuojiang River. Any photo you take with your phone will create a truly stunning "ink painting." Remember to wear light-colored clothing to complement the nightscape. - 7:30 PM: Enjoy the flavors of Western Hunan: Find a time-honored restaurant in the ancient city and order a small portion of blood-baked duck (45 RMB). The blood-baked duck, made with duck blood and glutinous rice, soaks up the duck broth and is incredibly chewy and flavorful. Add a bag of wooden mallet pastries (15 RMB), which are sweet but not greasy, making them a perfect snack. - 9:30 PM: Get tipsy at a bar: After 10 PM, head to the bar near Tiaoyan and order a cocktail (80 RMB per person). Listen to the resident singer sing "Southern Girl." The river breeze mingles with folk songs, making it so relaxing you won't want to leave. A side note: Ignore street vendors trying to take photos. The Hongqiao Miao costume rentals, 60 RMB per two hours (including a headdress and oil-paper umbrella), are a great value. Day 2: Furong Town + Red Stone Forest – Waterfall Ancient Town and Million-Year-Old Stone Forest - 8:30 Head to Furong Town: Drive from Fenghuang for 1.5 hours to Furong Town. The 108 yuan entrance fee includes the waterfall and the Bronze Pillar Pavilion. Arrive before 6:00 PM to secure a camera spot near the Wangcun Waterfall. With luck, you might even be able to capture a rainbow. - 11:00 AM Enjoy Liu Xiaoqing's Rice Tofu: Find "Liu Xiaoqing Rice Tofu" at No. 113. 8 yuan per bowl. The sour soup with rice tofu is appetizing and refreshing. You can also chat with the owner about the filming of the movie. 1:30 PM: Check in at the Red Stone Forest: Drive 30 minutes from Furong Town to the Red Stone Forest. 120 RMB entrance fee + 10 RMB sightseeing bus (a 15-minute walk saves). Walk the circular trail (2.5 km, 2 hours). Focus on photographing Tianchi Lake and the Ordovician Seabed. Wear light-colored Hanfu (bring your own or rent at the scenic area for 50 RMB/hour). The red stone forest serves as a backdrop, creating a dramatic contrast. After 5 PM, the light softens, and the rocks appear a dark red and gilded, making for even more stunning photos. 6:00 PM: Return to Furong Town for the light show: After 5:30 PM, Furong Town admission is free (you must pay a 60 RMB light show fee). The 10 PM waterfall light show and water curtain film (15 minutes) are must-sees. The lights paint the waterfall in vibrant colors, reminiscent of a fairy tale. - 7:30 PM: Stay at a waterfall-side inn: Choose an inn starting at 220 RMB. Open the window and you can hear the sound of the water. For dinner, order Tujia bacon and bamboo shoots (38 RMB). The bacon is fragrant and the bamboo shoots are crispy and tender. Day 3: Aizhai Bridge + Dehang Grand Canyon – A Skybridge in the Clouds and Miao Village Charm - 8:30 AM: Ride the Aizhai Bridge: Drive from Furong Town for 1.5 hours to Aizhai. The 115 RMB ticket includes a sightseeing elevator and a glass plank road. Take the 30-second vertical elevator ride up to the bridge deck and take photos at 355 meters. It's worth it even if your legs get tired (the mist is even more stunning on rainy days, but the plank road may be temporarily closed). - 11:00 AM: Watch the Drum Dance at Dehang Miao Village: Entrance to Dehang Miao Village costs 80 RMB. Watch the free Miao Drum Performance at 11:00 AM. You can also participate in the interactive drumming performance and experience the Miao people's hospitality. Then, hike 40 minutes to the Liusha Waterfall and visit the Water Curtain Cave for a cool, refreshing view. - 12:30 PM: Drink Lanmen Wine and Eat Sour Soup Fish: The Miao Village B&B is 150 yuan/night, and the owner will give you free Lanmen Wine (low-proof, so drink without worry). For lunch, order the Miao Sour Soup Fish (55 yuan/jin). The slightly spicy version is suitable for most people, and the fish is so tender that it melts in your mouth. - 2:30 PM: If you want to explore more, you can stop by the Dragon Gorge (10 kilometers), ride the iron chain bridge for 88 yuan, and enjoy the canyon scenery with a light 3-hour hike. Practical Tips: During holidays, the entrance to Fenghuang Ancient Town is restricted after 6 PM, so scan the QR code in advance to make reservations. It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes when traveling to the Aizhai Bridge, as the plank road can be slippery in rainy weather. #XiangxiClassicTour #WhereToGoHunanSummerSummer #AncientCity&StoneForestExperience
