D1: Hunan Province Museum-Juzizhou-Huo Palace (free travel)

D 2: Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon

D3: Tianmen Mountain Forest Park-Furong Town

D4: Phoenix Ancient City

D5: Changsha (free travel)

This time, I signed up for a group for the first time and wanted to experience the feeling of a team tour. Overall, it was not bad. However, it was more fun to go out and play by myself. I can go wherever I want, and I can arrange the time and place at will. Different experiences are also fun, and this trip is also a good journey.

D1: Hunan Province Museum-Juzizhou-Huo Palace (free travel)

I got up early the first day and took the high-speed train to Changsha. Wuhan was still very close to Changsha. It took more than 2 hours to arrive. After getting off the high-speed train, someone picked up the car and took us to the hotel. The hotel we stayed in this time was Zidongge Huatian Hotel. It is an old hotel with complete facilities in all aspects. It is four-star, not bad.

After putting down my luggage, I decided to go out for a walk. Today is a free day. I mentioned before that every time I visit a city, I must visit a museum. This time is no exception, so the first stop is the Hunan Province Museum. Let's go ~~~

The Hunan Province Museum has an ancient shape and grand momentum. With its unique style, it displays the rich connotation of Huxiang culture and has become one of the landmark buildings in the ancient city of Changsha. There are exhibition rooms in the building, with complete display and reception functions. Permanent exhibitions and temporary exhibitions such as "Mawangdui Han Tomb","Hunan Famous Kiln Ceramics","Shang and Zhou Bronze Ware of Hunan Province","Top Ten New Archaeological Discoveries in Hunan", and "Paintings Collected in the Ming and Qing Dynasties" are on display here.

When you mention the Hunan Museum, you will think of the famous "Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha". I saw these pamphlets at the door and like them very much. They are indeed extraordinary. The design is unique and exquisite, and I can take them home for collection.

Before going to Changsha, the TV was broadcasting "National Treasure". This time, I came for the dish. When I saw that episode, I was deeply infected. Now I can see the true appearance and have a lot of emotions. Interested friends can go and watch that issue. Great

The female corpse unearthed from Han Tomb No. 1 in Mawangdui has a complete shape, a moist body, some joints can move, and soft tissues are still elastic. It is a miracle in antisepsis and has been displayed in the museum. Out of courtesy and respect, there are no photos. This place is suitable for 2 to 3 hours. Tickets are free and ID cards are exchanged. Friends who like history and culture must not miss it.

After coming out of the museum, I went to the famous Juzizhou, Juzizhou, located in the center of Xiangjiang River in Yuelu District, Changsha City, Hunan Province. Do you still remember Chairman Mao's poem, Independent cold autumn, Xiangjiang River heads north.

After arriving at the scenic spot, you can buy tickets and enter. You can walk or take the sightseeing train. The very cute Thomas train will take you to the terminal. After getting off the bus, you can slowly tour back.

The garden scenery is still very beautiful, and I feel comfortable

The scenery along the way is very beautiful. You can walk along the Xiangjiang River. The trees are shaded and the breeze is gentle, making it very comfortable.

Behind this pond is the famous statue of Mao Zedong

Mao Zedong's youth artistic sculpture stands at the head of Juzizhou in Changsha. As the largest landscape project in Changsha's Juzizhou Scenic Area, the youth Mao Zedong artistic sculpture is based on the image of Mao Zedong in his youth and highlights Mao Zedong's ambitious and youthful image.

After visiting Juzizhou, I also wanted to taste Changsha snacks. There were too many. I had no choice but to eat spicy food. I tasted the famous Wenheyou stinky tofu. It was not bad. My friends who like spicy food must come to Changsha. I will definitely not let you down. Wenheyou has tea beside them. Many restaurants didn't find it magical at the time. Later, I discovered that after opening a store in Wuhan, it was hard to get a cup. Haha

Huo Palace, I really sigh that my mobile phone camera can't take a clear picture...

Changsha is indeed a very magical city, with delicious food, beautiful scenery, and beautiful women. Haha, every photo you take is full of fireworks, making people forget to leave.

D 2: Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon

I got up early in the morning and had breakfast at the hotel. It was amazing. Hunan's rice noodles are well-known. They are different from Wuhan's wide and thin noodles. The rice noodles here are flat and taste super good.

After breakfast, I packed my luggage, gathered at the entrance of the hotel, waiting for the guide to meet me. When the bus arrived, I found that it was a large group with about 20 people in the car. I took a bus and headed towards today's destination without stopping. Destination: Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon

The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon originally had two names. One was called Lanchuan Gorge: it originated from Shenquan River. The water from the entire Grand Canyon and the Hongqi Canal in the south came from here. It is said that many rotten boat boards poured out from the spring holes before. The local people couldn't know where the rotten boat boards came from, so it was named "Lanchuan Gorge"; the other name was called Luanquan Gorge: it refers to the two stone walls in the canyon. There are many streams and springs that fly across the gorge.

The legendary glass trestle of Internet celebrities

Many tourists take photos and check in on it, but it's actually not that scary, haha

Get down from the glass trestle and head towards the canyon. The scenery along the way is extremely beautiful. There are lush trees and deep and quiet canyons. One scene at a time, a gift from nature.

There is a waterfall on the way. Stop to enjoy it, find a stone step next to it, sit down, and rest for a while. The mist from the waterfall hits your face, making it refreshing and comfortable.

Found a magical cave. Will there be any primitive creatures in it?

The blue water surface, backed by several pieces of water and grass, also became the subject of my photos

Standing on the wooden path in the canyon, looking into the distance. The long and narrow water leads to the distance. Surrounded by the cool air, I feel happy

After walking the entire canyon with stop-and-go, leaving on a cruise ship, sitting on a boat, and slowly driving among the green mountains and clear waters, it was another surprise.

Xiangxi is mainly composed of Tujia people. The famous smoked bacon in the diet is cooked three times, and it tastes good

D3: Tianmen Mountain Forest Park-Furong Town

I got up early this morning, had breakfast, and walked around the hotel yard. I found many tourists from Smecta. I have long heard that they like to travel to Zhangjiajie. Now I see Korean vehicles and Smecta's voice everywhere, as if I were a foreigner, haha

Tianmen Mountain National Park, at the entrance-Tianmen Immortal Mountain, even in the off-season, there are many tourists

After entering the door, you need to take a bus to reach the foot of Tianmen Cave. This is the legendary core check-in and photo attraction. The ladder with a total of 999 steps is the way to Tianmen and the spiritual place for making wishes and blessings.

There are two ways to go up the mountain here on Tianmen Cave Stairway. One is walking and the other is taking the elevator. Because I signed up for a tour group and bought an elevator ticket in the group, I took a luxury and took the elevator. It was a super long elevator, and people with religious people and local minority costumes were also seen along the way.

There is a different heaven on Tianmen Mountain and inside Tianmen Cave. If there is a next time, I will climb this ladder myself and feel it

Looking down from above, the scenery is so beautiful

The plank road along the four walls is simple and simple

There are also glass plank roads hanging on the walls and Ghost Valley plank roads. There are many tourists. This glass bridge is a small piece and the scale is relatively small. It is not as big as the Grand Canyon and is not exciting. Just experience it

I really want to experience the cableway in Tianmen Mountain and the 7500-meter sightseeing cableway. My friends must go and experience it once. The terminal of the cableway goes directly to the city. The one-way operation takes 30 minutes. The scenery along the way is beautiful, overlooking Tianmen Mountain. I have never sat such a long cableway, great

In the afternoon, we arrived at the Furong Town Scenic Area. Furong Town was originally named Wangcun Town and changed its name due to the filming of the movie "Furong Town"

Walk up the bluestone slabs of "Five Miles Long Street", turn to the dock plank road to see the iconic waterfall in Furong Town, cross the water curtain road to visit the Youyang Palace, a building in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and revisit the scenes in the film "Furong Town". Try the rice tofu that Liu Xiaoqing sold back then...

The ancient town under the dusk in the evening adds a simple charm

This is the store where Liu Xiaoqing filmed the movie Furong Town. It's beautiful to eat a bowl of rice tofu

There are so many rice noodles, I want to eat

After visiting Furong Town and having dinner, I headed non-stop to the ancient city of Fenghuang. I arrived at night and wanted to have some late night snack at night, so I ordered a bowl of beef noodles. I went out to buy a late night snack. Sister, I would like a bowl of dried beef flour without peppers. Sister said leisurely that it would not taste good without peppers. Our peppers in Xiangxi are famous. Uh (○ o ○)... I'd better not put them, so Sister put down the spoon holding chopped peppers and silently put in a spoonful of chili oil. This chili oil was not spicy and very fragrant. Your flour would not taste good. I repeatedly confirmed that it was not spicy, and after receiving a positive answer, I picked up the flour and tasted it,... that taste. It was simply... spicy to the point... but it was delicious, especially for someone like me who doesn't eat spicy food. I couldn't stop it. After silently eating it, I went back and ate three pills to remove gunpowder, haha

D4: Phoenix Ancient City

I got up today and looked at the weather outside the window. It was cloudy and I had a feeling that it would rain. I got on the bus and slowly set out for the ancient city.

The ancient city of Fenghuang was built in the forty-third year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1704), and the ancient city buildings of the East Gate and North Gate are still in place. The city's Qingshiban Street, riverside wooden hanging towers, as well as Chaoyang Palace, Ancient City Museum, Yangjia Ancestral Hall, Shen Congwen's Former Residence, Xiong Xiling's Former Residence, Tianwang Temple, Dacheng Hall, Wanshou Palace and other buildings all reflect the characteristics of the ancient city.

Sure enough, it started to rain halfway through, and the ancient city gave off a more mysterious atmosphere in the rain. Walking on the stone road, holding an umbrella, quietly listening to the rain and enjoying the beautiful scenery, it had a unique charm.

Swimming in the rain in the phoenix, the rain is getting heavier and the sky is getting darker. The lights at the Tuojiang Wharf are on. In the misty rain, there is a unique feeling.

The ancient city of Fenghuang is divided into two Urban area: the old city is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The clear and shallow Tuojiang River passes through the city. The city wall made of red sandstone stands on the bank. Nanhua Mountain is lined with the ancient tower, which is still from the Qing Dynasty. Rusted iron gates.

The Diaojiaolou complex is located in Huilong Pavilion in the southeast of the ancient city. It is adjacent to the ancient official road in front and overhangs the Tuojiang River in the rear. It is one of the ancient buildings in Fenghuang Ancient City with strong Miao architectural characteristics. The suspension building group is 240 meters long and belongs to the Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

Playing with water on rainy days is also fun

After playing in the ancient city for a few hours, I will return to Changsha in the afternoon. Overall, the itinerary is still very tight. This is my first time traveling with a group, and I still feel very good.

D5: Changsha (free travel)

Since the high-speed train left at 1 pm today, I didn't go out to play. The hotel I stayed in last night was very interesting. There was a golden Buddha statue outside the window. Wanjiali Hotel, five-star. The conditions were good. There was a supermarket downstairs and above the shopping mall. There was also a subway underground that could lead directly to the high-speed train station. Transportation and shopping were very convenient

This trip to Xiangxi ended just like this. I was very happy. I tried to travel with a group for the first time. Although I didn't have the freedom to travel on my own, it was still very good to be able to visit so many places in a short time. The only regret was that the camera lens of my mobile phone was broken, and the photos taken were all blurred and the effect was not good. Wuwu ~~~~

I hope I can visit Hunan again when I have the opportunity. I really like this place. It has outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I will also try to eat spicy food. Haha, I will go back to work. I will move bricks and change my mobile phone. Looking forward to my next trip ~~~
