Hunan Day 7 Fenghuang Ancient Town 鳳凰縣 to Changsha

All packed and was ready to check out from Feng Huang Cheng Hotel, the weather was fine but no more snowing like on the previous day.
As required to gather at the hotel lobby for the next destination which will be Changsha.
We had a last minute photo shooting before we had to walk to the awaiting bus.
Meanwhile Chor Choo trying to carry fruit baskets like the local seller used to practice daily. 
An enjoyable walk to our bus with a beautiful river side scenery along Tou Jiang River.
The porters assisted us with our bags to the bus and we left Fenghuang Ancient Town couple minutes after 10am. It was going to be a long journey for the day and estimated to be a distance of about 450km.
A stop somewhere midway for a toilet break and stretching exercise after a long sitting in the coach.
The local helping themselves with food at the pit stop while our lunch would have to wait for the next stop before reaching Changsha.
At last our lunch will soon be served at this location and it was indeed a late lunch.
It was a big restaurant but we were the only occupying table at this late hour for lunch.
Finally we arrived at Grand Mercure Changsha, the same hotel we stayed on our first night. Time was already in sixish and indeed a long bus journey for the day.
Immediately after checking into the hotel we took a stroll to out dinner place.
The restaurant with a Red Army theme called Renmingongshe Dashitang 人民公社大食堂 for a dinner at ZiJing Street GPS : 28.197752, 112.975825.
The dinner was another awesome indulgent and again with some local beers to compliment the meal.
All were hideous and were concentrating on their meals. Bon Appetit. 
Some of us were gamed for a walk to an old street with lot of shopping activity. The gateway of Taiping Street
