Travel destination selected by lottery

A few days of vacation were booked early, but I couldn't convince my dad to come with me. Seeing that the date is approaching, my recently retired good friend sister is willing to come with me. Where to go? Dunhuang? Zhangjiajie? Cambodia? I selected several locations that did not match. My good friend and sister used a lottery method to select Zhangjiajie and was extremely happy. Due to the rush of time, this time we chose the group tour-Ctrip "Changsha + Zhangjiajie + Grand Canyon + Tianmen Mountain + Phoenix 6 Days and 5 Nights (5 Diamonds)" itinerary.

7:55 China Southern Airlines cz3148 Capital Airport T2--10: 40 Huanghua International Airport T2

The plane took off 20 minutes early and arrived 20 minutes early.

Beijing wears laminated clothes, but when I went to Changsha, I found that it is not too much to wear summer clothes here. Stay at Howard Johnson Brilliance Hotel Changsha (Gaoqiao Branch). The surrounding environment is good, with China Resources Supermarket and Oolai Shopping Mall next to it. There is also a lot of food in the restaurant. We chose Jiangnan People's Commune, which has the highest public comment in this region, to eat. We cooked Dahu fish head with fresh pepper, fried stuffed tofu in a casserole, and fried lettuce. We don't want the delicious food. It's just that rice is too expensive, 24 yuan/barrel. We only ate a few bites. It's a waste. Full of food and wine, we started our first trip-Yuelu Mountain.

On Sunday, there were many people on Yuelu Mountain. I didn't notice the toll booth of the tour bus when I entered the gate. The mountain road was very steep and it was a little tiring to climb.

(Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area is located in Yuelu District, Changsha City, Hunan Province, with an altitude of 300.8 meters and an area of 35.20 square kilometers. It is the last peak of the 72 peaks of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue. It is located in the Juzizhou Tourist Scenic Area. It is an urban mountain-type scenic spot and one of China's four major maple viewing resorts.

Yuelu Mountain is located on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River in Changsha City, the country's first batch of famous historical and cultural cities. Yijiang City has four core scenic spots: Lushan, Juzizhou, Yuelu Academy, and Xinmin Society. It is a rare national AAAAA-level tourist attraction, national key scenic spots, Huxiang cultural dissemination base and demonstration base for patriotic education in the world.

Yuelu Mountain is named after the "Nanyue Ji" in the Southern Song Dynasty,"Eight hundred miles around the Nanyue Mountains are headed by Hui Yan, and Yuelu is the foot." It integrates Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which are the essence of Chinese ancient culture, and incorporates historical thoughts. The cultural connotation of Yuelu Mountain jointly developed by giants, eminent monks, and poets. The scenic area includes Yuelu Academy, Aiwan Pavilion, Lushan Temple, Yunlu Palace, the former site of the Xinmin Society, Huangxing Tomb, Cai E Tomb, and the former site of the wartime headquarters of the 9th Theater Command.

Yuelu Academy is located in Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area, a national AAAAA tourist attraction on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River in Changsha City, Hunan Province. In the ninth year of Kaibao of the Northern Song Dynasty (976 AD), Zhu Dong, the prefect of Tanzhou, officially founded Yuelu Academy on the basis of running schools by monks. Later, it went through the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, until the 29th year of Guangxu in the late Qing Dynasty (AD 1903) was transformed into Hunan Higher School, and then successively transformed into Hunan Higher Normal School and Hunan Industrial Specialized School. In 1926, it was officially named Hunan University. After thousands of years, string songs have been endless, so it is called the "Millennium Academy")

When purchasing tickets (cash is required) to enter Yuelu Academy, I was deeply attracted by the academy's scholarly and ancient charm. Groups of elegant courtyards, pools of clean water and clear lotus flowers like a mirror, and patches of green bamboos are lightly dyed and splashed with ink. It is like wandering in ancient scrolls, and there seems to be the sound of poems and books lingering in my ears. Inadvertently, several young people dressed in Han costumes walked by, dancing like a dream... A window was open, and there were students studying inside. I couldn't help but feel deeply moved how fortunate they were to be able to pursue their dreams in this poetic and painting situation.
