The weather forecast said that there would be rain in Zhangjiajie, and it was only a drop of water the day before, but it turned into two drops overnight. Maybe the clouds were thick and the light rain turned into moderate rain. I also saw an online travel guide, which said that if it rained, you don't have to go to Zhangjiajie or something like that. I was very distressed. I have suffered such a loss before. When I went to Huangshan, the mountain was covered with fog because of the rain. Let alone the beautiful scenery, you can't see clearly even five meters away.

Arriving in Changsha at 21:10, it was not only sunny, but there were no signs of rain at all. The weather was much warmer than Wenzhou. Thank you very much for the boycott of the weather and weather forecast. The person who came to pick up the station from the local travel agency was a man who was a little fat and fat. He looked a little cunning and was not the same as the tour guide he had come into contact with before. The handover was not very good. We waited at the airport for more than ten minutes and couldn't find the person to pick up the plane. It flashed after calling our mobile phone. The tour guide calls himself Viagra.

Although the destination was Zhangjiajie, it was rare to visit Changsha, so I decided to go on the street to have a look. It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening when I came out of the hotel. I really didn't know if I didn't go. Changsha turned out to be such a lively place for nightlife. No wonder the tour guide didn't mean to go out too late at all. We got off the bus from Huangxing South Road, the busiest place we found out about. A large area of commercial and auxiliary roads had not yet been hit. The road was crowded with people, and small carts and street stalls could be seen everywhere. It was really surprising.

We saw a majestic sculpture standing at the street corner under the colorful lights from afar. The three or four of us quickly found the best position to take a photo with Uncle Mao (Hu Nan talked to Grandpa Mao). When he got closer, he realized that it was Senior Huang Xing. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and wanted to apologize to the two great men. We are stupid. It is Huangxing South Road, not Chairman South Road.

Using the experience I obtained online, I strongly praised the crayfish here as a unique one. Everyone followed me everywhere to look for it, including a few that didn't eat spicy food. I found a gourmet restaurant behind the pedestrian street, flew over and started eating. I ordered a plate of crayfish, but the taste was not even 60 points. Everyone bit one and was eliminated. After reviewing the route he had inquired about, he continued to look forward, and finally found a place overflowing with fragrance. It is said that Changsha's bar ranks first in the country. This restaurant is located at the entrance of an alley perpendicular to Jiefang Road Bar Street. There are several shops in a row, and dozens of tables are set up on the street, all of them full.

Garlic roasted oysters were the most valuable harvest that night. They cost 3 yuan each. I originally planned to have one for everyone, but they immediately came one after another. If I hadn't eaten too much at night and it was a little late, I guess I could still pick one after another. I always lack the ability to describe things that are too beautiful. In Wenzhou, these oysters are eaten raw with mustard or vinegar. I basically don't dare to eat them when they are soft and cold. Today, the fat oysters lying in the shells are boiled in oil and the burnt aroma of minced garlic are absolutely delicious. I had long forgotten how it made me sick.

The starting price of a taxi in Changsha is only 4 yuan, but it has been driving for a long time to less than 10 yuan. It is hard to believe that this is the provincial capital city.

Where I live is across the street from Changsha Railway Station, which faces Wuyi Avenue.

The biggest joke on April Fool's Day is the weather forecast. It was originally said that it would be a day when the rain would get heavier, but the weather was too good, as if summer had passed ahead of schedule. The air smells dry.

We set off at 7:30 in the morning and arrived at Shaoshan in two hours. After visiting Chairman Mao's former residence, I felt the revolutionary atmosphere. The former residence is a row of low houses living next to the mountains. The houses have been renovated because they are open for visiting. There are many rooms at home, and auxiliary rooms are also available. The pigsty and firewood room are all very large. There are two ponds at the door with fields. In April, rapeseed flowers are blooming and they are tender yellow. If everything is the same, the chairman's family should have a good family background.

The square where the chairman's bronze statue is not far from the former residence and is open in the shape of a fan. There are many flower baskets in front of the statue, which should be sacrificed by tourists all year round. Opposite the square is the Mao Ancestral Hall, but it does not belong to the chairman's house. Although most of the population here has the surname Mao, there is probably a distinction.

After lunch, we set off for Zhangjiajie. It took a five-and-a-half-hour drive and stayed in Wuling Park. According to the information I checked, it seemed to be called Suoxiyu. I didn't know whether Wuling Park and Suoxiyu were the same place.

The tour guide lobbied us to see Hunan's performance, but the words of praise were beyond words. Because I have watched Yangshuo's "Impression of Third Sister Liu", I feel that since it has such a high level, other similar programs are difficult to compare and have no interest in watching it. Others are in a wait-and-see state, thinking that they will stay for two days anyway, and then decide after considering it. Moreover, the best price of 150 yuan is a bit high. This time, our decision was wise and magnificent. Later on the walk after dinner, we saw the performance venue and asked about it. The ticket price was only 120 yuan. No matter how beautiful the performance is, no one wants to watch it.

At night, I wanted to follow the advice and open the window to breathe in the fresh air of the natural oxygen bar. Unexpectedly, before I fell asleep, a bunch of moths flew over, all of whom were fat and scared.

April 2, 6

Although I live very close to the scenic spot and only a 5-minute drive, I still have to get up early because I have to queue up late. The temperature difference is quite large, and it's cool when I wake up in the morning, so I need to add an extra coat.

Tickets for Zhangjiajie are very beautiful. They are IC cards and are valid for 48 hours. Your fingerprint is entered when entering the scenic spot on the first day. When using it the next day, you can "open the door" with the ticket and fingerprint. Advanced!

At first, the tour guide asked us to add attractions at our own expense to go to "Yuanjiajie". At first, he said that the fee of 40 yuan and 90 yuan for the Hundred Dragons Ladder was 130 yuan. When he arrived at the door, he changed his opinion and said that 40 yuan was the service fee. It took us a long time to understand that the tickets for Yuan Jiajie were included in the tickets for Zhangjiajie. Such a legitimate amount of money was very popular and most people couldn't go. The tour guide said it didn't matter if he retreated, but the route was different, but he had to take the cableway instead of taking the ladder, and he wouldn't take us to the Yuanjia Realm by taking the cableway. If you say that the route is different, everyone can tell that it means you won't go without paying. This move stunned some comrades. Some people began to say that they had come so far and didn't care about this little money. Moreover, it was just the first day, don't offend the tour guide and make you angry if you don't have a good time. The team leader took the lead in compromising, and everyone obeyed the organizational arrangements.

It is still a long way to get to the attractions after entering the park gate, at least much farther than getting to the ticket office from the hotel. However, there is an environmentally friendly car to pick up and drop off, which is not difficult.

The Hundred Dragons Stairway turned out to be a sightseeing elevator built next to the cliff. It takes one or two minutes to reach the top of the mountain. Convenience is much more convenient. I always feel that it is quite inharmonious for such a high-tech thing to appear in such a primitive and natural place. When you go to the top of the mountain and look down, you begin to see some amazing scenes. The mountains here are not stretched into sheets, but stand independently and abruptly straight into the clouds. I thought of the Dinghai Needle-the enlarged golden hoop stick in Journey to the West. There are many here! I said that no wonder there is so much vegetation here. Who can go up and chop trees when trees grow on such towering peaks?

The first bridge in the world is also a rare place. The natural stone bridge itself is not a rarity, but on such a high mountain top, there is an abyss under the bridge; the bridge is more than 50 meters long and 4 or 5 meters wide. The ghost axe magic power (sorry, does this word describe artificial or natural, I forgot).

After another half an hour, everyone found that the mountain was still the same, and after half a day, the mountain was still the same. Immediately afterwards, I went to Helong Park. Except for the bronze statue of Helong, I didn't leave a deep impression. Some people began to feel bored, and this emotion quickly spread in the team. Although aesthetic fatigue is normal, it is earlier than everyone can accept it. (I look at the problem from the perspective of a layman, hoping not to upset the mood of people who respect nature.)

In the afternoon, I went to Baofeng Lake. The mountain shadows began to reflect the color of water. There were folk songs by my brother and sister on the lake. The audio and video were vivid and touching. There was also an impromptu duet between the team member's brother and my little sister, which made a group of people happy, and their lost emotions were moderately controlled. However, the mountains and water are a little too ordinary.

The meal in the evening was at our own expense. The tour guide wanted to take us to enjoy a delicious meal. After eating the first day's loss, we politely and firmly refused, repeatedly emphasizing that we were in small groups, which was difficult to arrange, and it was easier to eat by ourselves.

In the center of the town, we found the snack night market near the river, and I found my beloved crayfish. There are dozens of shops in the night market, all of which look clean and tidy. Although we shopped around and bargained prices one by one, we finally found that the prices were almost the same. One dish is cheap and the other dish is expensive. Moreover, we must ask for the price of everything we want to eat. Tourism brings a strong commercial atmosphere, and the people doing business here are not as kind as we thought. Just asking the price of a dish, we will never know whether this family will kill customers. The general rule found out is that shops close to the river are more expensive than those not on the river, and they may earn land prices. We accepted a slightly more expensive price in order to watch the night view with the night breeze (I can't say the scenery by the river, but it feels better with flowing water and stone Ting).

The price of dinner is roughly this:

A dry pot pheasant, 70 yuan

One set of screws, 10 yuan

Stir fry with green pepper and dry incense, 15 yuan

Fried mussels, 35 yuan per catty, 63 yuan

Spicy crayfish, 1.5 yuan each, 31.5 yuan

First dish of stir-fried vegetables, 10 yuan

Braised black fish, 35 yuan per catty, 35 yuan

One bottle of coke, 10 yuan

Add some odds and ends, and the total cost was 268 yuan, but the boss refused to miss the change.

The pheasant is very delicious, especially the peppers at the bottom of the pot slowly penetrate into the chicken during the heating process, and the more delicious it becomes. The price of pheasants is the same regardless of size. We targeted the most important one, but in the end we don't know which one they killed. Although it is relatively expensive, we are most satisfied with its taste. However, a group of companions came to eat next door to this house, but they only cost 50 yuan each. I was dizzy.

In addition to being a little more expensive, crayfish is also worth recommending. The boss first asked for 2 yuan each. I saw on the Internet that others ate 1 yuan, but we tried our best and even threatened not to eat here before we reached 1 yuan and 5 yuan. This price is much more expensive than those in a serious hotel in Wenzhou.

For others, you can't see the meat when fried mussels; the braised black fish looks raw when returned to the pot; the incense is dry and hard, and the vegetables are bitter and salty. It's really disappointing. The most outrageous thing is that rice costs 2 yuan per person. How much do you think we 10 girls ate? I even thought rice was given for free.

This store is called "Tujia Girls", so I remember the name to express my dissatisfaction.

After dinner, I crossed the bridge and went to the other bank for a stroll. After looking at the shops with local specialties, I felt that there were not many unique ones, including some ethnic tie-dyed colorful clothes, small turbans and large square squares, ethnic small backpacks, and soft pottery people wearing ethnic clothes. Because I have seen many things from various places, I never feel that they are local specialties. The black inkstone and Hunan embroidery made from chrysanthemum stone are specialties. They are very beautiful, but they are relatively expensive.

April 3, 6

God gave face very much, and there was no rain until the third day. It just caused us to be burdened by rain gear, but at noon, the sun was scorching and umbrellas became parasols.

It is said that today is the essence tour of Zhangjiajie, and the spirit is excited.

I first took a sightseeing bus to the Shili Gallery. The meaning of a gallery is that there are scenery everywhere within ten miles. We resolutely gave up battery cars and went sightseeing on foot. Walking back and forth is about fifteen miles. The scenery is good. The mountains are beautiful but the water is shallow. You don't feel tired when you stop and stop to enjoy the scenery. The 30-yuan battery car is a bit wasteful. But later we discovered that we lacked the awareness of overall planning. Because it took another three hours to walk on the road from Shuihuan Simen to Jinbian Creek, and it was a little too much. Of course, this has a lot to do with the tour guide's arrangements. Originally, Shili Gallery had a trip yesterday. If the two long-distance walks were staggered, it would be much easier.

The route along the Jinbian River is backed by mountains and water on the other. There are forests and very shady. You will encounter many wild monkeys on the road. They have become accustomed to tourists and will voluntarily attach food to them. As soon as you get your hands on them, you will fill your mouth with your mouth full and run away warily. Monkeys walk in their mountainous terrain, even if they are very close, they will not enter the sidewalk. Although this section of the road is long, it is still a pleasure to walk. Although there is a sliding pole, I think the feeling of being high may not be too good. On a section of the road near the end, a fork appears. One is the ordinary road, which is relatively close; the other is the more interesting massage road. We chose the fun one without hesitation. Barefoot on the path made of small geese and pebbles, and the feet that had been squeezed out by their shoes after a long journey were really happy.

When we gathered in Forest Park, everyone was already exhausted. The tour guide said that there was also another scenic spot in Huangshi Village on the itinerary, which either climbed more than 3,000 steps or spent more than 90 yuan on a cableway up the mountain. The scenery was still similar to what I saw yesterday morning. The tour guide said tactfully that if you don't go to this attraction, you can also go to a place where you can relax, such as Longwang Cave, which is of course a self-paid attraction. Everyone chose to give up voluntarily and signed a consent form for the tour guide. The tour guide was really sinister.

First of all, since the scenery is similar, and we have already spent the ticket money and within the budget, why did we play Huangshi Village on the first day (it can completely replace Yuan Jiajie)?

Secondly, since you know there is a two-day trip, why do you concentrate all the tiring attractions until the next day?

Knowing that we couldn't climb the stairs and didn't want to see the same scenery again, the tour guide didn't count whether it was giving up Huanglong Village or changing to self-funded projects. If we give up, he will leave work early; if we switch to our own games, he will make money.

NN drop!!!

In the afternoon, I gave up all kinds of things and simply went to Changde in advance to stay early and rest early. It took about 2 or 3 hours to get to Changde. Half of the mountain roads and half of the high roads were high. The roads were very good. We were basking in the sun and taking a nap in the warm carriage. When the master came down to add water halfway, everyone smelled a burnt smell under the car. It turned out that the downhill road was very steep, so I had to keep the brakes on, and the friction was too strong. Even the tires were filled with water and sizzled smoke.

Because it was too hot, everyone rushed out to buy cool clothes at night.

April 4

I have to go to the "Peach Blossom Spring" in the morning, which is in Taoyuan County. This was the attraction we added to the agreement when we organized the group, and we paid an extra 130 yuan for it. It turned out that the half-day arrangement on April 4th was "shopping". Although I am not very excited about the "Peach Blossom Land" itself, it is still better than shopping. Moreover, in March, peach blossoms are in full bloom, which should be very beautiful. Along the way, it is very refreshing to see the rapeseed flowers in patches. Gentle yellow and peach blossom are so enchanting!

"Peach Blossom Land" is famous for Tao Yuanming and Peach Blossom Land Records, but it is after all an artificial attraction. Peach Blossom Land Records are originally a fictional place, and it is just an artificial garden. As soon as I entered the gate, there were not as many peach blossoms as I imagined. After walking through the peach blossom forest, I entered a courtyard. The pedestrian structure was modeled on Suzhou gardens. Other trees, grass, forest roads and several Taoist temples and pavilions were nothing special. Later, the tour guide here said that our ticket price of 78 yuan included four scenic spots, and another place was a good place to enjoy flowers, but we only had enough time to go to two places. Later, we bought time to go to one more scenic spot and went to the opposite hill.

"Baiyuanzhou" is the most beautiful scenery you can see in Taoyuanyuan. The continent is like half a moon, floating on the river. If you have a good chance, you can see the three rounds of sun reflected in the sky, the river surface, and the river bay.

Although the flight was at 5:40 p.m., the tour guide urged us to leave early after lunch. Arrive at the airport around 3:10. During the boring time waiting to board the plane, we met a group of fellow villagers who had joined another travel agency to travel to Zhangjiajie.

During the conversation, we talked about the phenomenon of numerous tour guides, such as openly asking for service fees and attractions, selling performance tickets at high prices, and lobbying us hard to eat exotic meals.

They widened their eyes and said,

--We watched the performance, 150 yuan!

--Yuan Jiajie, we also went out. You paid 130 yuan and we paid 150 yuan!

haha.

Zhangjiajie, a place where everyone longed for before going, but everyone was disappointed after going!
