I have to leave Zhangjiajie for Guiyang tonight. The night train, No. 1217, leaves at 8:48 p.m.

I got up early in the morning, packed my luggage, and hung the washed clothes outside. After blowing for a day, I still felt a little wet to the touch. The humidity in the Zhangjiajie mountains far exceeds my imagination. No wonder the food the Shi family ate was so spicy. The next night, the people of the Shi family invited us to dinner. After happily accepting it, they realized that they had eaten mutton dry pot that night, which was a bit spicy. The old Shi family smiled and said to me, Do you need a fire extinguisher at the door? Forget the fire extinguisher, what I need is dry ice.

The attractions I go to in the morning are the World's No. 1 Bridge and Charming Terrace. You don't need to carry a big backpack with you, and you have to go back to the inn for lunch at noon. He quickly got on an eco-friendly car and stopped an eco-friendly car at the entrance of Shi's house. After stopping it in the past two days, he really discovered the pattern. Basically, you can get on the cars going down as long as you reach out; most of the cars going up are full. Whether you can get on the car depends on your luck and personal fortune. Yesterday's heavy rain did not bring the wonders of the sea of clouds to today, but only added some fog to the mountains. When I went out early in the morning, it rained continuously, but this did not discourage tourists from traveling.

There were more tourists in the tour group than I imagined. Compared with today, the group members I met in Helong Park were disdainful to mention. The walking path is very narrow and with many people, everyone wants to walk fast, but everyone can't walk fast. There are so many tourists in the off-season, but in the peak season, I can't imagine what kind of chaos it will be here.

These two places have good scenery. The reason why Charming Terrace is Charming is nothing more than the viewing platform here. The scenery is wonderful. But for me, these are just like that. I will be shocked, but I will not be excited about it. In Zhangjiajie these days, I have seen too many similar scenery. Looking back at the photos of those towering peaks in the past two days, I feel that they are indeed very unique. Zhangjiajie is called a miniature bonsai, and it is indeed the case.

After having lunch in the Shi family, settling the bill, he went down the mountain from Shadaogou. There are only three ways to go from Yuanjiajie to Jinbianxi to exit the Forest Park ticket station. One is to take the Hundred Dragons Ladder, which is not considered at all; the other is to walk on the slopes and run around. We have already traveled this road on the first day, so it is not much fun to revisit it again. Then the only option left is sandaogou.

The weather in the mountains is always changeable. It still drizzles continuously in the morning, and it is already cloudy and sunrise when I go out in the afternoon. From the inn to the entrance of Shadaogou, you don't need to take a car and walk there. There are no obvious signs pointing to the entrance of Shadaogou, but the building on the side is a very conspicuous landmark. The youth hotel that donkeys are all too familiar with is the branch of Zhangjiajie Zhongtian International Youth Hostel. Brother Shi said that this was originally the Zhangjiajie Scenic Area Management Committee, and they really know how to choose a place when the youth hotel opened here.

As Brother Shi said, Shadaogou is very dark. If I hadn't walked here on the steep slope that night, it would have been really scary. The road is not easy to walk, and moss can be seen from time to time. Due to the rain, and not many people come here, the seemingly smooth steps are actually extremely slippery. Especially after passing the fork road leading to Yueyuya, the road is basically flat, but the degree of wet and slippery is even more exaggerated. Xiaofei had already taken out his climbing stick, and Brother Shi cut off a branch and made it for me as a crutch and happily accepted it. Having a support point as a buffer is never a bad thing. If you accidentally fall on all sides, the joke will be big.

The scenery of Shadaogou is somewhat similar to that of the Kuan Run Slope, and its tranquility is comparable to that of Yaozi Village. I thought that the three of us would be traveling together on the way to Jinbianxi. Unexpectedly, we met our own kind on the way. Zhangjiajie Urban Tourism School is here to do internship activities. Her destination is our starting point, Yuanjiajie.

They said hello to each other and planned to say goodbye. Unexpectedly, in less than five minutes, she changed her mind and planned to return the same way with us. There was not enough time. According to her, at 5 p.m., she would have to join other classmates and teachers and take the bus back to school. If she arrived late at the meeting place, she said that her teacher had already put down her harsh words. If she arrived late, be careful I'll chop you. Haha, this teacher is interesting.

This classmate's surname is Wang, Xiao Wang. After graduating from tourism school, I planned to work as a tour guide. Now I am at least half a tour guide. Even Brother Shi feels inferior to his eloquence. Amateur and graduate students compete at different levels. However, with these two chatting and laughing, the boring walking became much happier.

When you walk out of Shadaogou, there is a very obvious sign on the roadside. In addition to the arrow pointing, there is also a line of big characters. Shadaogou Ecological Tourism Line has a total length of 4.5KM. Please pay attention to slip prevention. But even if it is so eye-catching, most tourists don't care. The appearance of us carrying big bags attracted the attention of many people and curious gazes.

Cross the bridge and turn right and walk along Jinbian River. By going straight all the way, you can return to the Sancha intersection where we went to Yaozizhai on the first day. The total length of Jinbian River is claimed to be 7.5 kilometers. It should start from the water around Simen. Our current location should be in the middle section. Compared with the first day when there was no water in Jinbian River, today is still something to watch. Personally, Jinbian River is nothing more than that. It is a very ordinary stream, but it is just famous, that's all.

Near the intersection of Sancha Road, there is a stone tablet from Zhangjiajie National Geopark for tourists to take photos. I am a layman, so I can't help but have to take a photo. Xiaofei seems to have become extraordinary and has no interest in it. Not far away from here is the ticket stop for our first day here. Xiao Wang broke up with us at the exit of Shadaogou, and Brother Shi will accompany us back to the city.

The car got off the road and was in the dark light, and I couldn't figure out where it was in the city. Later, I learned that this road was Huilong Road. After eating in Xiangli, I asked the waiter for a business card before I figured out. Looking through the map, it is not very far from the city center and the bus station. In the afternoon, I went to the nearby BBK supermarket to buy something and take it to the train to solve the problem of food and clothing early tomorrow morning. At the store, I also wanted to see if there were local specialties such as "Tianzi Mountain" or "Tujia Girls" so that I could bring them back to Shanghai and share them with my family and friends. After walking around, I couldn't find it. It seems that maybe only supermarkets such as Meijie sell it.

Go to a family in Xiangli for dinner. Brother Shi's suggestion. It also suits our wishes, at least I am willing to. The original plan was to go to Master Hu to eat in Sanchuo. As soon as I learned, this so-called Sanchuo was similar to the mutton dry pot we had in the Shijia family that day. Forget it. Thinking about it if I still had to eat such spicy food tonight, I really couldn't afford it.

I did my homework before going there. People in Xiangli specialize in Hunan cuisine. When Brother Shi broke up and said goodbye to us, he mentioned that he would ask the waiter to deliver local menus instead of taking tourist menus. Don't say this, we know it well, but we still have to thank him for his kindness. We carry big bags and look simple and simple, and even if we speak fluent local language, no matter how we look at it, we are not at all related to the locals. Only she knew whether the menu brought up by the waiter was foreign or local. Look, at least this price is reasonable.

The two of them didn't eat anything and ordered two dishes, one soup and two bowls of rice. In the end, there was still some left. The bowl of Maojia braised pork tasted not bad. It was completely different from the sweet and glutinous cooking method in Shanghai. This is the first time I have eaten this in several days. It is extremely fragrant. In fact, I learned later that this bowl of braised pork was the 101st bowl of the entire trip. Alas, if I had known this would happen, I should have packed the remaining few pieces and taken them to the train and slowly reminisced.

After dinner, check the time, 7:45 p.m. At the entrance of the hotel, take a taxi to the train station. I didn't dare to take the No. 2 bus for fear of another accident. The train would not wait for anyone, and it would be very troublesome. The driver is very down-to-earth. It takes 30 yuan to walk from here to the train station. This price is consistent with what Brother Shi said previously. More than 12 kilometers of road, this price is very reasonable.

It is indeed people waiting for trains, not trains waiting for others. When we arrived at the train station, it was only 8:15, and the train left at 8:48, which was about the same time. There were not many people in the waiting room. They were walking around, and information such as the arrival of a train was constantly scrolling on the electronic screen. Pay close attention to it, but when they saw it, they almost fainted. Flight 1217 arrived late. The exact time is unclear.

The local train finally arrived at the station half an hour late. Fortunately, the delay was not too long. However, I didn't expect that this mere half-hour delay would eventually cause the itinerary to the Getu River to be completely disrupted the next day. The trip to the Getu River was planned for two days, but when it was finally implemented, it actually only lasted for one day, which was really too little. Now that I want to come, three days will be enough to visit Zhangjiajie. If you stay one more day out for Getu River, you may have a more enjoyable time.

Tips on Donkey Travel in Zhangjiajie:

1. There is currently only one train from Shanghai to Zhangjiajie a day, K533. It leaves at South Railway Station at 12 noon and arrives at Zhangjiajie Railway Station at 7:35 a.m. the next day.

2. Zhangjiajie claims to be a tourist city, but the public security situation in the urban area is not flattering. Zhangjiajie Railway Station is currently in the suburbs, and the bus station to Zhangjiajie Scenic Area is in the urban area. There is nearly 12 kilometers of road between the two. Walking is just a joke. There are only 2 direct buses from the train station to the bus station, and the fare is 1 yuan per person. Everyone should get on this bus to the bus station. When getting off the bus, be sure to pay attention to valuables such as wallets and mobile phones with you. There is no such thing as open robbery, but thieves are very rampant. The No. 2 bus is a minibus with 2 doors. Get off the bus and see which door no one gets on, and just enter from which door to avoid being taken advantage of in troubled waters. If people get on the bus at both doors, there is no choice. Choose one door. At this time, you have to pay attention to the thief's tricks. If a local person tells you, alas, how can you care about my feet? When you hear this, you must hold your wallet, mobile phone and the like tightly. It's a common tactic for local thieves. If you get distracted, your things may be gone. In case you don't pay attention, you will find that these valuables are missing after getting off the bus. There are many plainclothes near the bus station. If you shout loudly, you will definitely attract these people here. Then you will call 110 to call the police. Whether you can retrieve them and how much you can retrieve them depends on your luck.

3. It is said that you can also take the No. 7 bus from the train station to the bus station. The situation of petty theft there is not that serious. But looking at the map, if the No. 7 bus can go to the bus station, the most you can get off at the department store, which is not far from the bus station. What about the specific situation? It's best to find someone to verify when you go to the local area.

4. The Shi brothers we found as guides, and of course Peng Qingwu, who is also a famous wild guide in the area. These two groups of people, the Shi brothers are indeed good at doing things. Peng Qingwu had met them once and felt that their conversation and behavior were very appropriate. I can safely recommend it to everyone. I won't leave the specific contact information behind. I will find it on Google and Baidu. If you are too lazy to find friends, you can email me to inquire.

5. The phenomenon of soliciting passengers at Zhangjiajie Railway Station is very serious, and there have even been incidents of violence. If you were not going with the group and didn't plan to ask a local person to serve as a guide to pick up the station before going there, you wouldn't be able to escape if you encountered those who were pestering people. You didn't hesitate to call 110 directly to seek help from the police.

6. When we went there, the entire Zhangjiajie urban area was no different from a large construction site. I heard that Zhangjiajie had changed mayor and that Zhangjiajie's railway station would be moved away from the suburbs. I hope that in two years, everything in this tourist city will become better.

7. Public security and other aspects in the Zhangjiajie scenic area are very standardized. The scenery in Yaozi Village is good. I recommend that everyone have physical strength and energy. If you have time, it is worth visiting. It depends on everyone's time. If you don't have time, there is no pity not to go. If you don't play Yaozi Village, you can visit the entire Zhangjiajie for three days. It's almost enough. You can basically see what you need to see. I won't say much about how to arrange it. I will always answer any questions. Many wild directors will mention this three-day tour arrangement when answering. Different people will say the same itinerary.
