The New Year is approaching, in Fenghuang County, Hunan Province, the lights and shadows on both sides of the Tuojiang River in the ancient city of Phoenix at night are blurred, and the figures are shaking, which is poetic and picturesque. The Linjiang B&B, which is close to the iconic attractions of the Phoenix Ancient City, Wanshou Palace, is full of lights, and the flavor of the New Year is very strong.

Li Jun, a tourist from Henan, came by car with his family, and he was surprised when he learned that there were so many free projects: "How can the tour guide not charge for this in other scenic spots?" The quality of the B&B will not be comgraded. Knowing that Allure Light Luxury B&B had just been rated as a national B-level tourist B&B, he was relieved and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Yao Dunpeng, a college student majoring in tourism management who graduated in July last year, did not choose to work in a big city, but stayed in Fenghuang County, which is closer to home. "Professional counterpart, I also like the working atmosphere here, and I can look at the beautiful scenery of the ancient city in a daze when I have nothing to do. During the Spring Festival this year, the B&B business is booming, and the rooms are almost fully booked, and it is estimated that I will not be able to return home. Yao Dunpeng said.
Cultural Experience B&B Photo courtesy of "The needle should be straight, don't prick your hands, slow down......In the intangible cultural heritage area of the B&B, Xiang Yanxia, the housekeeper of the B&B, is gently teaching Zhang Jingyi, a young tourist from Wuhan, to experience Hunan embroidery. On the white background, a simple flower has begun to bloom. Zhang's mother was holding her breath and holding her mobile phone to record the whole process.
Approaching the end of the year, the child has a winter vacation, so I want to take her to experience the outside world. Coming to the culturally rich Phoenix Ancient City, after choosing this homestay, we found that we can actually experience intangible cultural heritage for free, and children can sit for an hour or two like picking up a treasure, not only experiencing intangible cultural heritage, but also exercising endurance. Zhang's mother happily introduced, "B&B should have more cultural content and more different things." B&Bs like Allure should be promoted. Zhang's mother didn't forget to praise it.
Xiang Yanxia is also a college student who just graduated last year. "I am a graduate of Hunan Vocational College of Arts and Crafts, majoring in embroidery. is reluctant to learn what he has learned, and it just so happens that this homestay has an intangible cultural heritage area, so I hit it off and successfully joined the company. For more than half a year, I have taught more than 100 '**. After speaking, Xiang Yanxia covered her mouth and stole fun.
Before 2018, Allure Light Luxury B&B was a humble inn with 40 rooms. In the second half of 2018, Chang Yunli, who has been operating a hotel and homestay for many years, came to Phoenix Ancient City. After just one look, he decided to invest in a homestay here. At that time, he had already decided to make cultural experience the endogenous DNA of this homestay. Today, the number of guest rooms has been reduced from 40 to 16, and the remaining space is all used as public areas, implanting cultural elements such as tea art, calligraphy and painting, viewing, photography, and intangible cultural heritage, enriching the accommodation experience of tourists and creating a "up to you" check-in atmosphere.

Staying at home, guests can enjoy the perfect courtyard garden landscape and experience the rich local culture in the bustling ancient city.
Most of the guests staying during the Spring Festival are repeat customers or new guests recommended by old guests. For each guest, we will add their WeChat account and provide customized services on the premise of asking for permission, such as whether you need a tour guide, what are the dining taboos, whether you want to pick up the car, etc. Chang Yunli firmly believes that good service and good reputation are the way to survive for B&B.
After Allure Light Luxury B&B was rated as a national B-class tourist B&B, Chang Yunli has a new plan, "After the plan year, on the basis of the unique local culture, we will do some combination with the best culture, such as adding Tibetan cultural decorations, providing authentic snacks and ingredients, training service personnel to provide Tibetan cultural explanation services, and building the B&B into a platform for the integration of Hunan and Tibetan cultures, so that every traveler can slow down and find the tranquility and freedom in the bustling."
