Xiangxi 3-Day 2-Night Worry-Free Itinerary with Parents

Day 1: Arrive at Phoenix Ancient Town → Leisurely Explore the Ancient Town • Morning/Noon: Arrive at Phoenix Ancient Town, check into a quiet homestay with a courtyard and elevator, and enjoy a light meal of sour soup fish or wild vegetable stir-fried cured meat. • Afternoon: Stroll slowly along the Tuojiang River, Diaojiaolou stilt houses, and Rainbow Bridge. When tired, sit at a riverside tea house to drink tea and share some little stories about the ancient town with your parents. • Evening: Enjoy the night view of the Tuojiang River, choose a riverside restaurant for dinner, then take a walk to enjoy the breeze without going to the crowded lively bar street.

Tell the guide in advance “less spicy and light.” After eating, accompany your parents to explore Chadong Ancient Town, see Lala Ferry and Cuicui Island, and experience the slow pace of life in "Border Town." • Afternoon: Head to Furong Town to visit the waterfall and Tusi Palace, see the "ancient town hanging on the waterfall." When tired, find a place to rest without rushing. • Evening: Watch the Furong Town waterfall light show, then return to Phoenix with the group (around 10 PM). After returning to the homestay, let your parents rest early. Day 3: Phoenix Ancient Town → Aizhai Bridge → Cliffside Glass Walkway → Dehang Miao Village → Return Trip • Morning: After breakfast, depart for Aizhai Bridge. Accompany your parents to the viewing platform to admire the spectacular bridge and take photos; then visit the cliffside glass walkway, encourage your parents in advance, and walk slowly without fear. • Noon: Have a Miao family reunion feast in Dehang Miao Village. Choose non-spicy dishes and let your parents taste Miao sour soup and cured meat. • Afternoon: Explore Dehang Miao Village, watch Miao song and dance performances, buy some ginger candy and cured meat as souvenirs, then head to the high-speed rail station for the return trip.
