There are many forgotten cultures in China's history, after all, there are fifty-six ethnic groups, and I have always been obsessed with Shen Congwen's border city since I was a child, and I have always been obsessed with Shen Congwen's border city, what kind of small city is it? In my memory, I have been there countless times, but it is new to me, and after reading the guide and everyone's evaluation on Ctrip for a long time, I finally mustered up the courage to buy a ticket to explore the city of my dreams.
Sitting on the plane I have already figured out what to eat when I get off the plane, after all, the people take food as the sky, and I am an out-and-out foodie, looking at the dazzling introduction, there is a food that has aroused my great interest, that is, Phoenix Blood Duck, it is said that every household has this dish, I am curious why it is called this name, and I am also curious about what it tastes like, before I get off the plane, the saliva has been direct, no way, the physiological reaction of foodies is the most honest, Foodies are basically good at spiritual love. As soon as I got off the plane, I went straight to the ancient city of Phoenix, and quickly ordered the phoenix blood duck, bacon, and sausage are also must-order, because it was a person, so I didn't order too much, but I ordered two bowls of rice, because the basic literacy of a foodie is there!
After eating, the requirements for living will not be too high, as long as you can live by the water, after all, it is in the border city, and you still can't do without the help of Ctrip. The beauty of the Tuojiang River can only emerge when one appreciates it, so living by the river can feel the most beautiful border city written by Mr. Shen at any time.
You can see the strong Xiangxi characteristics at a glance, the bluestone slab street in the city, the stilted building by the Tuojiang River, many ancient buildings and strong customs, constitute a unique Xiangxi charm, Shen Congwen's former residence, the ancient city museum, Chongde Hall and other places are suitable for slowly browsing, here is like a forgotten area by time, there are only quiet and profound.
However, there will always be unexpected joy in the ancient city of Phoenix, and there is a sitcom of "Border City" here. The performance is based on the story in the book "Border City" by the literary giant Mr. Shen Congwen, with the character "Cuicui" as the main line, which is a large-scale folk melodrama rich in Xiangxi humanities. Hundreds of costumes in the performance are beautiful, with more than 100 processes, a production team of 110 people, and more than 10 months to produce Cuicui's wedding dress is a very beautiful set, a red Miao crown, a red Miao dress, hundreds of red silver jewelry, and a 3-meter-long red wedding dress, which appeared in Cuicui's dream at the end of the play, and made her a "beautiful bride".
Phoenix, the city of my dreams did not disappoint me!
