Phoenix Ancient Town Girls' Trip｜Living Poetically at Misty Rain Inn

A getaway to Phoenix Ancient Town with my bestie, staying at the upscale riverside Misty Rain Inn – this trip turned into a living painting✨ 🌿 Stay in a Scenic B&B Newly opened in 2023 with top-notch facilities! Located at No. 168 Huilongge, just 2 km from Fenghuang Dengdai Metro Station, making travel a breeze. Free parking was a lifesaver for our road trip, plus costume rentals and a laundry room – every detail perfected! We booked the "Drunk in Flowers | Terrace King Room" (25-28㎡), and wow, what a surprise! The 4th-floor terrace faces the mountains and river. At dusk, we lounged on the terrace sofa, chatting by the river breeze, watching the distant peaks melt into twilight – no camera could capture even 1% of this magic📸 🍵 Slow Living in the Ancient Town "Summer Mist Tea Break": Book 2 hours ahead for specialty tea. Sipping tea with snacks on the terrace, spilling secrets with my bestie – time slowed to a crawl. The owner even hosts cozy stove-side tea sessions when free, pure bliss! "Fairyland of Western Hunan" Ticket: Grab it at the front desk! Explore stilt houses and cobblestone paths, stepping into Shen Congwen’s literary world – every corner photo-worthy, oozing old-town charm. "Miao Costume Photoshoot": No reservation needed – change at reception! Transform into Miao maidens in 30 secs. Dressed in red and silver, we strolled the ancient streets, snapping "Miao Sisters" pics that blew up our feeds💥 "Bamboo Mountain Miao Village Adventure": Book a day ahead, fun for all ages! Trek through the village, chase sunsets, hear Miao tales, and play "explorers" with your bestie – next-level fun! 🏮 Must-Dos in Phoenix Explore: Stroll along the Tuojiang River, cross Rainbow Bridge and stepping stones. By day, admire rustic stilt houses; by night, feast on lantern-lit views – every shot is postcard-perfect. Don’t miss Shen Congwen’s Former Residence and Nanhuali for artsy vibes. Eat: Try blood tofu duck (sticky, savory perfection!) and sour-spicy Miao fish stew – we devoured two rice bowls each! Also, don’t skip stir-fried pork with litsea cubeba or ginger candy – a foodie’s paradise. Tip: Wear comfy shoes! Cobblestone streets demand it. Hit the bar strip at night for drinks and live music – vibe guaranteed. Every moment at Misty Rain Inn – from riverside mornings to Miao dress-up, tea talks to village quests – screamed: "This trip was SO worth it!"
