Getting to Fenghuang is not quite as difficult as you might think. There is an airport at Tongren a few hours away on the Guizhou border, but with flights at the moment only to Guangzhou several times a week.
There are railway stations at Huaihua (better) and Jishou (slightly closer), and by flying into Zhangjiajie Airport (what used to be called Dayong) you can get the train down to Jishou (about 2hrs 30mins, several trains a day).
There are buses direct to Fenghuang from Changde, Yueyang and Changsha, but it may be easier to get to Huaihua first (train or bus) and then get a local bus.
The ride up from Jishou passes a spectacular canyon not far north of Fenghuang, and also passes the southern Great Wall at many places.
