Useful Travel Tips
●Accommodation
There are only two accommodation places in Yangmei. One is the Riverside Hotel on Riverside street. It costs 10 yuan per person. The hotel is in poor condition, but it has a shower and sanitation. The other is Wensheng Hotel, which is not far from the village. The conditions may be better and the price may be more expensive. Two places can provide two or thirty beds, but there are not many people who come to live.
●Photography
The scenery of Zuojiang is still full of mirrors. You can take some good pictures when you travel by boat. If we use black-and-white films to shoot buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties, it may have flavor.
●Delicious food
Yangmei is famous for its native chicken and Zuojiang fish. Zuojiang fish tastes good. It is fresh and fierce without the smell of fresh water fish.
