Fenghuang Summary

by Sean on Jul.09, 2009, under China

I left on a Sunday afternoon on a train from Wuhan to Huaihua, and then took a bus from Huaihua monday morning to Fenghuang. I think the four days I spent in Hunan province was great, and a much needed escape from the heat and fast pace of Wuhan. It was recommended to me by my girlfriend as a place for lovers, and indeed we met many couples there! At the time of this summary, the exchange rate was 6.83rmb for $1.

  • The train from Wuhan to Huaihua = 211.5rmb ($30.90)
  • The private car from Huaihua to Fenghuang = 30rmb ($4.37)
  • Food = 126rmb ($18.40)
  • Accommodation = 90rmb ($13.10)
  • Private boat ride = 40rmb (20rmb each person) ($5.83)
  • Miscellaneous = 438rmb ($63.90)
  • The private car from Fenghuang to Huaihua = 30rmb ($4.37)
  • The train from Huaihua to Wuhan = 211.5rmb ($30.9)

————————————————————-
My budget was 1600rmb, and I spent 1177rmb = $171

Remember that because I went with my girlfriend, some of my expenses involved paying for her food and her portion of the private boat ride.
