At the end of July, on a whim, I made an appointment with a classmate and bought a train ticket and went straight to the hotel. Zhangjiajie, I hurriedly searched the Internet for some information.
D1（7/31） Shanghai West Railway Station, train 18:47, train 1607, is from Wuxi to Huaihua. It leaves 15 minutes late and the air conditioner in the sleeper compartment is too cold.
D2 is two and a half hours late and arrives at 10 pm Zhangjiajie Station. The exit exit was dark and surrounded by a large group of random people. Because I was going to buy a return ticket, I was surrounded by four or five idle people, asking you to ride in his car, stay in his hotel, and join his tour group. One of them stretched his hand into my trouser pocket while pulling and pulling. I was already alert, so after slapping his hand, I walked towards the railway police on the steps. The gang scattered like birds and beasts. According to the police, they knew these were not good people, but they couldn't control it because their authority was only above the steps of the train station. I didn't buy a sleeper for the return trip either. It is said that you can buy it from scalpers for an additional 40 to 50 yuan. However, I'm not nervous about taking a ticket back home. Because I was going to take a train to Mengdong River tomorrow, I found a hotel near the train station for 100 yuan/day. At most, Shanghai two-star standards. The same hotel in the city can be settled for 60-80 yuan. There is a bus stop 100 meters away from the exit, and it seems that every road leads to the city.
The railway station is on the outskirts of Zhangjiajie City and is considering replacing it with a new location. A taxi to the city is 15 yuan during the day, 20 yuan at night, and 5 yuan for noodles.
D3 got on the train at 5:45 in the morning, climbed mountains and mountains, passed through countless tunnels, arrived at Mengdonghe Railway Station at 7 o'clock, changed to a plane, and drove for a quarter of an hour to Wangcun. I bought tickets for the rafting, ate breakfast, and took a bus for more than half an hour to the rafting place. The fare is twenty yuan per person. It's already 9:30 for the official start of the float. On the boat, Xiao Hu and his friend Vivian from Guangdong were sitting on one side of the boat. On the other side were several young people from Changsha. Everyone was holding water ladles, buckets, water guns and other tools to pick quarrels and cause trouble. They began to look for targets and fight a big water battle when the boat was moving. I poured others 'hearts to cool them, but I was also watered until I was confused. At the worst time, I was besieged by three boats. Anyway, I couldn't open my eyes. I could jump in and swim halfway through the boat. It was already twelve o'clock after the rafting ended. After bidding farewell to everyone, he sat back to the train station. There is a bus back to Zhangjiajie at 1 p.m.
Calculating the fare and ticket, it costs 170 yuan per person to Mengdong River. If you find a local tour guide in Zhangjiajie online, 160 yuan should be enough.
After taking the train back to Zhangjiajie City, I passed through some noodles, buses, motorcycles, and arrived again I went for a detour at Huanglong Cave. from The round trip from Wulingyuan to Huanglong Cave is 30 yuan, and the motorcycle ride is 20 yuan. It seems that there are buses, but the time interval is extremely long. My classmate, my driver, and I crowded on a motorcycle and drove forward before the door closed.
Mengdong River is a must-visit. If you have been to a large cave, you can avoid Huanglong Cave. There are also some problems with our travel arrangements. Huanglong Cave is close to the scenic area. After enjoying the scenic area, we should go to Huanglong Cave on the way. You can bargain for a taxi back to the city from Wulingyuan, 10 yuan/person. I went back to the city for one night because I had something to do back in the city.
D4 left the hotel in the morning and got on the long-distance bus at the long-distance bus stop to the entrance of the Scenic Area Forest Park. It's a 45-minute drive. Not long after the car started, someone on the bus introduced himself as Wang and a tour guide. After some conversation and confirming the daily tour guide fee of 30 yuan, we invited him. There are many such tour guides at the entrance of long-distance bus stops and scenic spots. If you want to ask them to check their tour guide passes to see if they look pleasing to the eye. I heard that there are also very few who are not authentic. The sky, which had not rained for two months, began to rain moderately. I entered the entrance of the scenic area but didn't go up I heard that Huangshi Village doesn't mean much. He directly kidnapped Jinbian River to the right. Along the way, Lao Wang kept introducing us to what this stone in the distance looked like and what scenic spot that stone was. My neck was a little sore when I looked up. When I reached the random slope, I started to climb the mountain. After climbing the mountain road for an hour and a half, I came to A hotel opened by a friend of Lao Wang in the Yuan family. After some bargaining, we agreed to 60 yuan per day. There was shower and no air conditioning in the room. We had to cover the quilt at night. We had to eat 20 yuan per person per meal, with one meat, three vegetables and one soup. There are such hotels everywhere along the Yuanjiajie Highway. If you are interested, you can visit two more to compare the prices. Lao Wang said that if he was contacted earlier, he could buy a berth ticket or a plane ticket with a 60% to 20% discount. After dinner, I went to the nearby World's First Bridge, Chisan Terrace, and Back Garden. The back garden at dusk is very beautiful, but otherwise average. In the night sky after the rain, when looking at the stars in the mountains, they are many and bright, and they also seem very close.
I had breakfast in the morning on D5, 10 yuan per person. I went to the Yuanjiajie parking lot. The mountain road halfway up the scenic area connected all the scenic spots. Environmentally friendly cars arrive at the Yuan family boundary Drive back and forth on the road between Tianzi Mountains. Tell the driver which scenic spot you want to go to, and he will let you off when you get there. The bus from Yuanjiajie is full, and sometimes it is not easy to get off the bus to visit scenic spots halfway through, but it is not easy to get on the bus again. we're Get off the bus at Daguan Terrace, and walk down for 20 minutes, there is a fork road leading to different scenic spots. To the right is the Emperor's Seat and Xianren Bridge, and to the left is the Divine Chicken Pecking. It is difficult to walk in one step. I think the Emperor's Seat, Xianren Bridge, and the Divine Chicken Pecking are all very good. We had lunch at Daguan Terrace at noon, and then took a bus to the open Shentang Bay and Diandian Terrace, where we met with many tourists. Helong Park. At 3:30 pm, we were at Yang Jiajie got off the car and rushed to the Sky, the sky corridor, Fengbao Village. The sky corridor goes up along the road by the mountain, turns a corner and comes to the end. It suddenly becomes clear in front of you, and the mountain wind is roaring, giving you a panoramic view. If the attractions in front make you feel that Zhangjiajie is a magnified bonsai, then here makes you feel like a mountain. In contrast, it is a bit difficult to reach the sky in one step. Just as my classmates and I looked into the distance and shouted loudly, Lao Wang also shouted the name of a girl surnamed Ying several times. We asked Lao Wang who she was, but Lao Wang only said that she was a beautiful girl who lived at the foot of the mountain. My classmates and I looked at each other and shouted at the foot of the mountain,'Xiao Ying, Lao Wang loves you'. Of course, Lao Wang did not join us. However, looking at his expression, he was very happy. Then we went to Fengbao Village, where you would deeply realize how difficult it was to eliminate the bandits originally entrenched on it. These attractions are worth visiting, but they are far away from the road and it takes 3 to 4 hours to get back to the road after finishing all of them. Because the eco-friendly cars at the foot of the mountain were gone at seven o'clock, we had to stay on the mountain for another night.
D6 took the Bailong elevator down the mountain in the morning, changed to an eco-friendly car and arrived at the Wulingyuan exit of the scenic area, took the bus back to the city, and took the train at 11:30 a.m. back to Shanghai. I couldn't find a berth after struggling on the train for a long time.
The D7 train was one and a half hours late and arrived at Shanghai West Railway Station at 2 p.m. He fled home in confusion amid the strong winds and heavy rains caused by Mesa, ending this August trip to Zhangjiajie.
