Huaihua Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Compared to Fenghuang Ancient Town, I have a deeper affection for this ancient town in Xiangxi that is almost devoid of tourists

Qianyang Ancient Town has a history of over 2000 years, dating back to the Han Dynasty and flourishing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Furong Tower of this town, Wang Changling left the verse 'A heart of ice in a jade pot'. Visiting here during the Qingming festival, the paulownia flowers bloom just right, the rain wets the bluestone paths, and also makes the air exceptionally fresh. Because not many people know about it, the commercialization level here is still quite low. The entire small town can be toured in about 2 hours, and admission is free. Only if you want to visit certain attractions is there an additional charge. - 📍How to get there: Take the high-speed train to Huaihua South Station, then take a bus or taxi to get there. 💰Admission: Free ⭐️What to eat: Duck egg noodles on the old street at the south gate, You's spring rolls, the old town's eggplant wraps, and green bean noodles at Lao Ye Lane snacks.

Hunan Hongjiang Qianyang Ancient City | A piece of ice heart in the jade pot, Furong Building | Festival Filial Piety Temple, snack spring rolls

Qianyang Ancient City is located in Hongjiang City, Huaihua, Hunan Province. It is one of the well-preserved ancient cities of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in China, surrounded by water on three sides, at the confluence of the Yuanjiang and Wushui Rivers. The ancient city has a long history. As early as the early Western Han Dynasty, Tan Cheng County was set up here, renamed Longbiao County in the Tang Dynasty, and Qianyang County in the Song Dynasty. The famous Tang Dynasty poet Wang Changling, who was demoted to Longbiao County at that time, wrote 'Furong Building to Send Xin Jian', leaving the eternal verse 'A piece of ice heart in the jade pot'. Furong Building became famous for this. There is an ancient building called 'Festival Filial Piety Temple' on Beizheng Street, which was built in 1723. It was once a temple for the worship of the virtuous women and filial sons of Qianyang Ancient Town throughout the dynasties. It still preserves a plaque encouraging women. During the Republic of China, it was Dai Li's temporary residence and the Qianyang County 'People's Anti-Japanese Aid Association'. There are many ancient relics on both sides of the street, among which the most famous are the county government, the academy, the Confucian temple, the martial temple ruins, etc., which are listed in an orderly manner. The smooth and washed bluestone slabs on the ancient street tell the story and vicissitudes of a thousand years. Walking slowly, it seems that the sound of horse hooves is echoing under your feet, and the sound of camel bells is echoing in your ears, as if there is the lyricism of the guzheng, the noise of the suona, the confession of the huqin, the anger of the pipa, and the sobbing of the sheng and xiao. The most famous snack spring roll that has been on the central station is sold at the entrance of the ancient city. There are 2 shops, mainly for the neighbors to eat. The whole ancient city has a very light commercial atmosphere, and people enjoy the slow time in the ancient city peacefully. 📍Detailed address: Qianyang Ancient City: Qiancheng Town, Hongjiang City, Huaihua City, Hunan Province Ticket: 55 yuan / person

Qianyang Ancient City has been built for more than 2200 years Now there are still well-preserved Ming and Qing buildings Including the city gate rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty It's very quiet and there are few tourists Suitable for relaxing and enjoying the scenery Transportation: Take the high-speed rail to Huaihua South Station → Bus to Qiancheng (about 20 minutes per bus) → Taxi to the ancient city (about 7 minutes) It's quite convenient, especially like sitting on the bus for that hour, swaying and listening to songs and watching the scenery, the heart rate has slowed down. Accommodation: There are many homestays in the ancient city, many of which are under 100 yuan, I am alone, I randomly picked one for more than 70, I feel that the cost performance is okay, everything that should be there is there.

The ancient city of Fenghuang in Hunan is well known. The Border Town on the banks of the Li River is so beautiful in Shen Congwens pen, but with the development of tourism, the ancient city of Fenghuang is becoming more and more overcrowded. Inheriting the residents of Xiangyang Ancient City in 2200, it lacks a strong commercial flavor, but it has a cultural atmosphere. Compared with tourism, the ancient city of Xiangyang is more suitable for living in the sunset. Interpretation, here, every moment is slow. When the ancient city of Fenghuang was already overcrowded, the small town of Xiangyang was very rare, still maintaining its bleakness and tranquility. It was 1400 years earlier than the ancient town of Dayan in Lijiang, Yunnan, 900 years earlier than the ancient city of Fenghuang. The classic poem "A piece of ice heart in the jade pot" of the great writer Wang Changling was born.

This time, I came to Hunan to enter the "China's first ancient shopping mall" - Hongjiang Ancient Mall. When I walked, I once again let me feel the meaning of travel. The fireworks in the quiet time may be the most touching. Once many ancient towns are developed, or after they are famous, they are hard to resist the commercial atmosphere. I personally think that business is not terrible, because there is a complete package of business, so that people who come here can be more convenient. What is important is this. How to conduct business, do not let the business cover the spirit of the ancient town, or the atmosphere of the ancient town should not be annihilated. and Hongjiang Ancient Mall, the life here is very strong, although there are many tourists, but it seems that it is not the matter of the people here, or playing cards at the same table, also reading the book under the tree, also in front of the gate Staying, the pedestrians come and go.

City C Debut Plan | Jingzhou, Hunan, the hometown of bayberry

| Jingzhou, Hunan, the hometown of bayberry. Jingzhou, Hunan, is not well-known, but it has a long history. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it became a major commercial town at the border of Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangxi provinces due to its geographical advantages. However, as times changed and waterways were no longer the main means of transportation, it became a leisurely small town hidden in the mountains that few people knew about. Today, the only traces of history that can be touched in Jingzhou city are basically the Tuqiao Street and He Street, the mottled old houses and alleys, and the colorful glutinous rice drying in front of the houses; there are also the wharfs, the old stilted buildings, the renovated guild halls, and one can vaguely recall the past glory from them. The street is not long, and at the end you can see the long Qujiang River. The bluestone slabs of the Ma Wang Bridge are still there. Eating a bowl of handmade ice powder at the small stall at the head of the bridge and chatting with the old people, it seems like you are still living in that simple era. Wangjiang Tower, as one of the city landmarks, has a good night view. It is diagonally opposite to the Jiangdong Wind and Rain Bridge, which is a good place to sit leisurely. The floating bridge in the river under the bridge, although rebuilt, is a great restoration of the appearance at that time.

The only regret is that although it is an autonomous county of the Miao and Dong ethnic groups, you have to go to a slightly farther village to feel the original ethnic customs. 🚗Transportation strategy: Take a train from Chongqing or Huaihua, Guangxi, get off at Jingzhou Station, and there are buses to the city area, in fact, it is not far to walk. 🌟Local must-visit: Fei Mountain, Dishun Miao Village, Yanjiao Dong Village, etc. 🍲Food recommendation: Jingzhou is the "hometown of Chinese bayberry" and "hometown of Poria", the local specialties mainly include: carved honey preserves, bayberry wine, bayberry dried fruit, Poria crisp cake, pickled vegetables, all are quite convenient to take home.
