High-value hotel by the ancient town

At the end of the bluestone-paved road in Fenghuang Ancient Town, Xiangxi, I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a hotel—Starway Hotel! The location is absolutely perfect—just a 5-minute drive to the heart of the ancient town while cleverly avoiding the noise of the bar street, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. 💤 🌉 **Location & Transportation**: - Located on the outskirts of Fenghuang Ancient Town Scenic Area, just a 20-minute taxi ride from the high-speed rail station (free shuttle service available!). - Street-view rooms might even offer a glimpse of the national flag-raising ceremony! - A 15-minute walk to Nanhua Bridge—perfect for enjoying the night views! 🏮 **Stay Experience**: This 11-story hotel is full of surprises! The Miao silver-decorated wall in the lobby is perfect for photos. Rooms come with smart toilets and a massive 72-inch TV, while the zero-pressure memory foam bedding ensures instant sleep after a long day of exploring. Breakfast offers 30+ options to kickstart your day with energy! 📸 **Photo Guide**: 1. The carved window frames on the 4th floor + river views create a natural picture frame. 2. Use a telephoto lens on the rooftop terrace to capture the compressed skyline of the ancient town. 3. The Miao silver artwork wall in the lobby is a 10/10 backdrop for Hanfu photos. 4. Best shooting time: 6 PM, when warm yellow lights complement the blue-gray rooftops. 🍲 **Nearby Eats & Activities**: • Tuqiaolong BBQ Night Market (8-minute walk) • Authentic local restaurants like Lin Zhanggui’s Blood Duck, Fenghuang Native Chicken (clay pot chicken), and Mayang Goose (dry pot goose)—all within 200 meters! • Try tie-dyeing workshops on Huilongge Ancient Street. • Capture morning mist photos at Tuojiang Stepping Stones. 💡 **Pro Tips**: - Contact the front desk for free high-speed rail shuttle service!! If not needed, the hotel offers a free large parking lot (800+ spaces). - The hotel can book *Border Town* performance tickets (¥20 cheaper than on-site). - Bargain when renting Miao costumes—usually ¥30/hour. - Bring shoe covers during rainy seasons—the ancient town’s stone paths get slippery.
