Now, although the economy is well developed, but many cottage located in the remote mountains, the surrounding no commercial facilities, is speeding up for them, is still indispensable.
Hunan's market is very large, we are here to wait five days sightseeing on the way encountered only in three markets, including the largest county fair field of Allah camp fairs, the county's second-largest Yoshinobu fairs, as well as the Mountain River Market. Which Miao Shan River Market is a market, Miao people in many costumes, Hmong women, dazzling, is a favorite with tourists visiting the market.

Tent with the kind of car are the sky is not cold, so remove the tarpaulin, leaving only the framework of iron, is used to grip. Some cars are too many people, young people turn on the stepping on the back cover on the car, hanging outside the car, people can not help but Nieyibahan for their safety, while they talked and laughed, with equanimity. Some cars also divided into two levels, the lower release items, poultry cattle and sheep, the upper deck is also sitting people, relaxed contentment.

Miao women in more than ganchang back a bamboo basket to buy things on the back so back, and some even back a large wok or a large water tanks, to see if they look, it seems not feel difficult.

Bought things, ganchang gather the villagers will be 332 from chat, talk about each speaker current situation and talk about the village's nothing new, this time, markets became a social place.
Hibiscus Town of rice near the tofu Phoenix Wangcun Yongshun County is also well-known tourist spots Xiangxi, the film "Hibiscus Town" is in this shot, and now there are a number of annual visitors come here searching for Hu sustain and QIN Shu-Tian story, try a That famous tofu taste of rice.
The day we drove to the Furong is under a light rain, thick strands of rain drift wet quartzite of the town's way, they can wet the soil on both sides of the Street family huts. Tourists come to town are mostly followed the film "Hibiscus Town" came, we are no exception. M tofu shop in town a lot, and all claim to be authentic, and finally pointing at the locals, we find the arch next to the one said to Liu's film is in the store selling rice bean curd. Sure enough, the shop door of the film stills, the HU sound for decades in the history of this busy front of Hut. Still there are many this year, next to Jiang and other original "Hibiscus Town" cast members revisit Furong with the owner of the photo. Unfortunately, the owner go out, and only a little girl after the house, we can not understand the film more 16 years ago, including pictures, had to be a bowl of rice tofu, taste the flavor of the past. In fact, nothing to do with tofu tofu rice is rice done, according to local people still say that with limewater (I feel that it would not be a plaster water), made a small section of a small, somewhat like the gnocchi, but also made a small box, a bit like tofu has. Do a good job of rice tofu soaked in cold water, the little girl fishing for a scoop and placed inside Nao Shimizu a bit, plus a variety of spices, onto the bone soup, has become the summer is to eat more than cold. I tasted, skateboarding, and some such as tofu, but also delicious to eat what is not, it seems m tofu contains the cultural charm of this Road has long exceeded their own snacks. M tofu shop in front of the stone road legend has it that the remains of the Qing dynasty, the film in the "sweep the streets," a film is the section of track. And "denounced" a drama of the scene we have found, is a 1938 built Diaojiaolou, the tall and spacious and bright, up and down two floors there are more than 20 rooms, all-wood structure, carved doors and windows are fine, could be considered was the one luxury. Although the furnishings inside Diaojiaolou no longer there, but still feel the old big rich house style luxury.
Wangcun is a village inhabited by Tujia, there are many unique customs of Tujia scene. Apart from the film "Hibiscus Town", where there are many things to watch. Diaojiaolou built according to a cliff, cliff Fei Liu and the whole placed under the waterfall, is the Valley of the touch of bright. Bank Street, the left can be seen from time to time a block of residential signs key protection, many Mu Lou has more than a hundred years of history. Tujia girl tapestry workshop, but also to make visitors linger. Hibiscus Town, one can purify the soul of the place, in the light rain, we are reminding us of scenes into the history, so that memories of the elegance and talent to take us away from the Madding Crowd.
Tracy Xiang woman searching for passionate, Shen style of writing, we have to know a simple scenery of western Hunan woman, woman, 33 Mill on the "female students" full of curiosity whinny, and wait senselessly wait for that to make her sleep inside for singing the the soul of young people floating gently floating Tracy. Today, we are in the border city, but also to find Tracy do?
In the border town, we encountered a lot of impressive young woman, including the Hongqiao visitors under the Long-mei sang folk songs. In the tour Tuojiang, our wooden boat just near the Hongqiao, under the bridge a dragon boat, a woman began the Miao costumes, singing aloud, and with song and a smile to take us to leave. The lyrics are what has already lost count, that's clear and melodious songs are memorable. Punting a small Shaogong tells us that Long-mei is only 16 years old, is the blossoming age. Calligraphers Hall Yangyin Yan, a long with a 15-year-old Tujia dimples sweet woman, is the collar we visited a small tour. Due to the photographs, we visited the pace is slow, she has a smile waiting for us, happily for us to explain every detail, but also not forget to visit after the end of a period, to me a "world is beautiful" issue. When I could not answer, she would smile mischievously announce the answer. From her, I know, Tujia doors are waist-law wife's mother to see the door of a small mud hut with a window is used where flue-cured tobacco. And when I guess the window bars of the "gentleman farmer", "fortune and longevity happy", she was also pleased than I am. Bridgestone girl Miao Wu Mei, has dark skin, such as Tracy in general, the dress she wore miaojia for our guides, see my love of her collar, but also to lend me off Guoba Yin. Woman who grew up in the mountains, climbing effortlessly under the valley, looking at her neat figure, with the breathing space in the back of embarrassing I have only admiration and envy. End of the tour, Wu Mei and her junior partner also performed for some of our seedlings hubs, skirts silver bell on the issue of the Dingdang sweet sound. They are beautiful, in fact, western Hunan every woman, not all the incarnation of Tracy, Tracy's naive and lively, also reflected in their bodies, transmission.
Tanks bacteria Hunan duck blood DCB is also a good place for fine dining. Come to Phoenix's first meal, we eat in the ancient city on the streets, one called "Water House" hotel attracted me, this is a temporary Tuo's Diaojiaolou the door hoisted two red lanterns and Hunan Features The La Yu bacon is a warm signal. Floor, the whole wooden structure, was short, wooden table with the same color in a small bamboo chair, some rustic Relics. Linhe of the two tables the best, you can viewing, watching the cruise ships parked on the Tuo River, not a good feeling.
"Water House" No menu, skip directly to the gate length of the table dishes point on the line, and cookstoves are also the door, can be described as the Ming Ming kitchen file. As to the former intensive training in Phoenix on-line common sense, I am familiar location of the blood DCB duck, sticky rice hot and sour block, pickled radish, steamed cured meat, jars bacteria, pickled bean curd soup with a few specialties. As is located in Hunan-Guizhou border, Phoenix dishes both spicy Hunan, Guizhou, another feature of the acid. Tanks bacteria is the Boletus, and now some of the restaurants have some of the Nanjing sold. We have never seen so many other dishes, such as blood DCB, dark one, the original duck blood Hunzhao glutinous rice juice do for burning ducks, a lot of flavor, hot and sour rice block, is glutinous rice powder and the pickled peppers a few days, would become acid. Not the pot before the red one big tub, sliced deep-fried, after a bit like pumpkin pie, the taste is sour-spicy, but not barbed mouth. Here is the number of alcoholic liquor, Huang Yongyu designed packaging, the bottle is also a craft. I want a cup of rice wine, Yan Yan, and fragrant aroma. Here the meal is very special, a one table, the former food all available on the table points Qi, and under the table before the pot of vegetables, so the guests seated a waiter will be first sent to a plate of melon seeds, while nibbling edge and so on. General Phoenix restaurant tables and chairs using a small table was short, and the city can not see or simply a small bamboo chair is a small bench, a very casual, a bit like a child to eat breakfast with small tables and chairs, more of a family feeling, large table with high chairs only in upscale hotels only, more comfortable, but also much more cautious.
The next few days we have been searching the old streets of western Hunan cuisine. Phoenix backing Linshuei, well-known dishes are miaojia sour fish, the fish catching up Tuo, coupled with hot and sour chili sauce made out of foam, the owner deliberately put points less seasoning, to highlight the flavor of wild fish. Society of rice a bit like us in Nanjing Vegetable Rice, but the mountain is wild onions and stir-fried rice with bacon, there is a unique fragrance. Mountain wild bamboo, fern, fir bacteria, can be used to fry Duojiao, fried bacon, are what we usually eat less than delicious.
