Travel time:10.4-10.7 4 days (actually 3 days, because the first day is the flight at 7 pm)
Travel Transportation:Double flights and group tours (including round-trip connection from urban area to airport)
Tour fee: 2500 yuan/2 people
the first day
Zhuhai-Phoenix
Hotel: Phoenix Ambassador International Hotel
At 5:30 p.m., we boarded on time at around 7:00 p.m., and it was already past 9:00 p.m. when we landed. The team bus picked us up and went straight back to the hotel. It took about an hour. It was already 11 or 12 o'clock when we got back to the hotel.
The hotel is very close to the ancient city of Fenghuang. It takes a taxi for 10 yuan (using the meter). It is called Fenghuang Ambassador International Hotel. I heard that we usually receive government staff, so the hotel facilities are very partisan. It seems to be the largest hotel around Fenghuang Ancient Town. The official compared the nearby ones and found that there are indeed many other small inns along the Tuojiang River.
the next day
Hongshilin-Furong Town-Zhangjiajie
I got up at 6 o'clock the next day and took more than an hour to arrive at the first scenic spot: Hongshi Forest. I heard that it was the filming location of the film and television series "Slowching"?? But I haven't seen it and don't know. The scenic area is relatively small and you can visit it in about an hour. It is the kind of stone forest where the limestone is washed away by rain. Red, should be rich in iron??
We saw specialties that we had never eaten in the park! August Fruit, I heard that it is a fruit that ripens in August and cracks when it matures. It tastes like Sakya Fruit, but it is lighter, has more seeds, and not so sweet than Sakya Fruit. I have never eaten it before, so I bought one to try it ~1 yuan, it's really cheap ~
Furong town
Isn't Furong Town an ancient town? Is it also a TV series? The shooting base. It still has an ancient charm and takes about 5 minutes to get there by boat. From a distance, you can see the ancient town above a waterfall, which is very beautiful. The ancient town is not very big, with many shops, inns, and craft shops. Passing through the streets of the town, I saw many large snails with half a palm! I heard that it was also a local specialty, so I wanted to eat it, but I was afraid that the meat would be too old, so I didn't buy it. Rice tofu is also one of the specialties ~
Suggestion:1. There is no need to buy the handicrafts of the ancient town. Most of them are Yiwu products;
2. Many people on the roadside sell bandit cigarettes, which are basically made of poor tobacco. It is not very good. I suggest you not buy them.
Zhangjiajie-Xibu Street
Furong Town came out and headed straight to Zhangjiajie. The first stop was Xibu Street, which was a retro commercial street. However, due to the epidemic, 90% of the stores had closed down and there was nothing to shop around (in 2020).
I went to a tea house and bought Anhua's specialty Jinhua Fu tea and tea bricks (remember to check the date!!! When I bought the one with a long year, the official just didn't look carefully. I got two cakes with a one-year T-T, but there were not many golden flowers).
There is also a tea called Berry Tea. There is a layer of white frost on the tea, which is also one of Zhangjiajie's specialties. It tastes clear and light, but after drinking white water, you will feel sweet again. It is very sweet! It's amazing! But the price was too expensive, so I didn't start. (You can buy it online, it's cheap)
Zhangjiajie-Qianggu Qing Scenic Area
I didn't have much hope for the performances of these scenic spots, but this scenic spot really subverts my opinion. The scenic spot belongs to Songcheng Group. The park is very large, divided into an amusement area and a movie viewing area. The amusement area has amusement parks, food and drink places, handicrafts, clothing stores, haunted houses with no themes...
The movie viewing area is for watching stage plays. I am not very interested in stage plays myself, but thisThe stage play is really, really!!! well worthWhen you go and take a look, it is definitely different from what you usually watch. The stage is not limited to the stage, but may be right next to the audience. It is a completely immersive viewing experience, and it is not a 4D or 5D effect. It is a real actor who is around you., quite amazing! The stage beauty, lighting, props, and screens are all unique!
the third day
Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie-Morong Miao Village-Fenghuang Ancient City
Zhangjiajie tianmenshan
(1) Take a minibus
Get up at 5:30 in the morning and drive to Zhangjiajie in about 2 hours. If you are free to travel, you must! Absolutely! Absolutely! To catch up early, we arrived at the entrance of the Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area Tourist Center in Zhangjiajie around 7 o'clock, and had already begun to queue up. After waiting in line for more than ten minutes, we got on the minibus that went up the mountain. There were many minibuses, and we set off immediately when they were full.
(2) Take the cable car
After getting off the bus, follow the crowd for a while to reach a place where you can take the cable car.
!!! Remember that if you see a lot of people in line, find a friend to buy a lift ticket first, otherwise you will not get out of the line until you are halfway in line!!!
(3) Take the escalator
The cable car can carry more than ten or twenty people directly to the foot of Tianmen Cave.
At this point, you can choose two ways to continue to reach the top of the mountain.First, take the escalator; second, climb the 999 level.We went to the top of the mountain and took the escalator. Although it is an escalator, it is really long and steep, divided into many sections. I sat for at least 10 minutes, and I was tired from standing haha ~
When I reached the top of the mountain, it was 10 degrees lower than the foot of the mountain (probably because of the rain). I walked around the top of the mountain and walked on the glass plank road. However, because of the fog, I couldn't see anything, which blocked Tianmen Cave. The glass plank road walked on like flat ground, not exciting at all. What a pity!!!! I didn't get the photo either, wuwu ~
(4) Take the cable car down the mountain
It was around 11 o'clock when we went down the mountain, and there were already many people. Fortunately, we went a little early. We had to shake the number to ride the cable car to go down the mountain later. It was too difficult. The cable car this time is relatively small. It is a cable car that can be directly taken to the tourist center (ps: the tourist center is still a long distance from the entrance of the scenic area). It takes about 40 minutes.
Suggestion:
1. Everyone must watch the weather!!!! When we went there, it was raining continuously in Zhangjiajie during this period of time. Not only was it cold, but the focus was also the fog T-T. If you encounter rainy and foggy days like an official, you will really have no experience!!!
2. If the weather is bad, I suggest you buy raincoats and shoe covers online in advance. I bought shoe covers in the scenic spot, which is not too expensive for 10 yuan a pair.
3. Absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely! Hurry up early! It is best to arrive at the Visitor Center around 7:30 in the morning!
4. The top of the mountain is relatively cold, so put on more clothes ~
Morong Miao Village
On the way to Fenghuang Ancient City, I stopped by Morong Miao Village, but because it was too late, I took a quick look around the scenery and didn't see many special exquisiteness. It was very dark and there were no street lights. I heard that this is one of the rare Miao villagers currently born. Born Miao means not marrying Han people and maintaining all the living customs of the Miao people.
Lightning protection:
There is a very strange place that is the toilet in this scenic area. Please don't go there!!! Because the toilet has no door! Moreover, the walls around them are very short, 50 centimeters at most! So embarrassing!!! Don't go if you're not in a particularly urgent hurry, it makes you really sick.
Night view of Fenghuang Ancient City
It is already seven or eight o'clock in the evening when I arrived in the Ancient City of Fenghuang. The colorful lights dotted along the river, the bright moon hangs in the sky, and the cool breeze blows. The night view of Fenghuang Ancient City is so beautiful!!! If you like to go to Qingba bars, you are very suitable to come to the ancient city at night. There are countless bars along the river, with handsome men and beautiful women drinking together. If you don't like to go to bars, it's also very suitable to come here at night to take pictures of the night.
Eat and step on thunder!!!
I heard that stone pot fish was delicious, so I went to a random restaurant to eat it when I was wandering in the ancient city. I don't know if it was too late or if it was a local specialty. The fish meat in the pot of stone pot fish I ate seemed to be left over by others and then mixed together. The fish meat was fine!! Thorny!!! Spicy!!! It's really not good. Everyone must choose a good restaurant before going in!!!
traffic
There are still many taxis at the entrances and exits of Fenghuang Ancient City, and there are no pits. Start by pressing the meter.
the fourth day
Phoenix Ancient City-Home
On the fourth day, we started to visit Fenghuang Ancient City early in the morning. It was really a quick tour to follow a group. I suggest everyone go to Fenghuang Ancient City! Absolutely! One! Make sure to travel freely. It's so beautiful that it's suitable for strolling around slowly. The ancient city is quite big, and I can't see it slowly one street at a time. This is what I feel most regretful.
There is obviously 3-4 hours in Fenghuang Ancient City, and most of the time is spent going to shopping spots. It is so uncomfortable!!!
Attention!!!
On the way to Fenghuang Ancient City, a tour guide who claimed to be selected by the ZF project got on the bus and went with him. Along the way, I introduced everyone to the benefits of silverware and the benefits of horn combs, blablabla... and also advised everyone not to buy anything in small shops in the ancient city. You must go to a street built by ZF to buy things before you can buy real materials. goods. (Now it seems that it was actually laying the groundwork for everyone to go to the shopping spot. At that time, I was indeed brainwashed in the car. The story is too vivid, so there is no way to harm it.)
On the second day after arriving in Fenghuang Ancient City, I went to the shopping mall after an hour of sightseeing. I couldn't resist the temptation and still purchased some silver jewelry (when I came back, the official specially took it to the appraisal office to identify it. It was indeed 999 silver. The quality was no problem, but the price was on the high side)
Here is a reminder to keep your eyes open and don't be fooled wherever you go!!! Buy only if you need it, but don't have to buy if you don't need it. Fortunately, I didn't encounter any online tour guide who would be angry if you didn't buy it.
