preface

I have had an unchangeable plan since I started college-travel to a city every year. Although he has been away from campus for more than two years, this plan has not been stalled due to his busy work, but has become more and more passionate. I have always had a soft spot for southern cities. This time, I decided to set off for Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang Ancient City with my friends, mainly because I wanted to feel the tenderness of some southern cities. Okay, let's not talk about it, you can slowly look down and feel the beauty of Phoenix and the wonder of Zhangjiajie from the words and photos!

Let's give you a set of beautiful photos first!

Travel itinerary:

D1: Depart from Taiyuan at 10:39 a.m. on the first day. Arrive in Changsha at 18:05 p.m.

D2: After getting off the train, I arrived at the hotel I booked. I put down my luggage and went straight to Fenghuang Ancient City. I took a tour of Shiban Street, Hongqiao, Tiaoyan, Wanming Tower, etc.

D3: Check out early the next day and take the train to Zhangjiajie.

D4: Get off the train, take a taxi and go straight to the hotel booked in advance in Dayong Prefecture, put down your luggage and go out for a simple meal. (Since there is not enough time, I plan to go to the Forest Park for a good time tomorrow.)

D5: On the third day, get up early and take a bus to Wulingyuan. I visited the Jinbianxi Scenic Area on foot and saw attractions such as Guanyin sending off her son, Pig Bajie carrying daughter-in-law, the divine eagle protecting the whip, splitting mountains to save her mother, the exterior shooting site of Journey to the West, Changshou Spring, and Thousands of Miles Meeting.

After walking Jinbian River, take an eco-friendly vehicle at Shuihuan Simen to get off the station, and then take the world's first outdoor elevator to Yuanjiajie. I didn't pay much attention to this Hundred Dragons Stairway at first, but only after I arrived did I realize how magnificent it was. The plan to climb the mountain on foot was instantly changed to taking the world's first Stairway (haha, women are always fickle).

After lunch, visit Yuanjiajie, the core scenic spot of the World Natural Heritage Site, which includes the prototype of the suspended mountain in the movie "Avatar"-Hallelujah Mountain, the First Bridge in the World, the Jiutian Mysterious Stairs, Lianxin Bridge, China-South Korea Friendship Pavilion, the Divine Turtle Wentian, Ecstasy Terrace and other attractions.

After touring Yuanjiajie, you can take an eco-friendly car for about 20 minutes to the Daguantai accommodation site to rest. Those with good physical strength can visit the undeveloped scenic spot-Laowuchang Scenic Area to view the original ecological aerial countryside and the unique scenery of the Shensoldiers 'gathering.

Travel suggestions and tips (precautions):

1. I still need to take the Hundred Dragons Ladder. It is really fast and safe. I specially searched on WeChat and found that there is a public account. Everyone also

You can add it to make travel easier.[zjj_bltt].

2. Be sure to check the weather in Zhangjiajie before traveling. After all, it is a southern city and prefers to rain, so you can't just wear thin clothes, you need to be accurate.

Bring a coat, and a raincoat or umbrella is a must-have.

3. The accommodation conditions on the mountain are average, and the food in the scenic area is quite expensive (I wanted to add a special dish for lunch, but I just looked at the menu...)

And simple, please maintain a good attitude. It is recommended to bring more meat snacks to solve your cravings.

4. When shopping in Phoenix, you should cut the price by more than half based on the merchant's asking price. You should have good bargaining ability!! If you don't buy sincerely

Don't bargain when you buy, so as not to be discounted by the locals. Remember!!

5. There are winding mountains roads in the Zhangjiajie Scenic Area and from Zhangjiajie to Fenghuang, which takes almost five hours to drive. Friends who have carsick will remember that

Bring carsickness medicine!

6. According to the online introduction, you cannot whistle or hold an umbrella when you enter other people's homes in Phoenix. I have never witnessed this, so please pay attention...

Day 1: Phoenix Ancient City-Phoenix Night View Feel the humanistic feelings and taste the gentle water town

In fact, I have always had a unique feeling for the ancient city of Fenghuang. I always feel that the water and scenery here are not only beautiful, but also turn all women into goddesses.

This is a famous rock jump. Some people are afraid when walking on it. Look at these ones, they still put POSS on it.

As the lights begin, the night view of Phoenix is coming soon. Look forward to it…

The tiled house in western Hunan. Very distinctive.

Sit in the bar for a while.

Day 2: Visit Zhangjiajie (you must try Sanxia pot)

Today, I mainly stroll around the urban area of Zhangjiajie and eat delicious food (haha).

Without saying much, I know you only love Meitu ~

Day 3: Railway Station-Jinbianxi-Yuanjiajie--Inn accommodation in the scenic area The air in the mountains is a little cool, but the hearts of the people are very warm. The Hundred Dragons Ladder is very powerful

This trip to Zhangjiajie, which is full of anticipation, has begun. Sitting on the train, I have all kinds of excitement. Come here quickly! Can't wait.

The mountain in Zhangjiajie is very strange. It is just a stone and stacked high on top of it. It is said that this used to be a vast ocean on one side, passing by

These peaks have evolved over the years of geology.

Go to the Golden Whip Creek first. The water quality here is very good. It is said that there were babyfish growing here in the past, but now there are many tourists, and these fish have almost gone. We have been looking for it all the way, hoping to see her style, but unfortunately in the end, we didn't find it, only some small fish...

Jinbian River has the most monkeys, and I heard that they can grab food. Fortunately, we only have photographic equipment on hand... Next, we will take an environmentally friendly vehicle to the four gates of Shuihuan and take the Hundred Dragons Ladder! There are also many monkeys on the Hundred Dragons Stairway...

Inside the Bailong Ladder, the car is designed with fully exposed glass on three sides.

The distant view of the Hundred Dragons Ladder.

When we reached the top of the mountain, the weather was not strong, and the top was white. A gust of wind blew and blew away some of the fog, so we rushed to take pictures... After taking pictures for a long time, we couldn't see it anymore. Later, we found that the fog was sporadic, so we stayed there until we got it, haha

Day 4: Tianzi Mountain-Shili Gallery is full of mountains and lifelike

I originally planned to get up early on the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise, but unfortunately, the weather was not good. In this kind of weather, I would definitely not see the sunrise, so we all got up a little late. After breakfast, we continued our journey:

After riding on the winding mountain road for about 20 minutes, we arrived at Helong Park. The weather was not good. We photographed less scenery and more objects. Many local people on the mountain were selling this. Unfortunately, we had just eaten and wanted to eat but couldn't hold it in our stomachs. Tell the ladies that we will eat next time we come.

Come out, come out, come out, the tourists on the mountain shouted together, finally showing a little, and everyone rushed to take pictures together!

The scenery is really good.

Tujia beauty.

The two mother and son I saw on the road

We reluctantly bid farewell to Zhangjiajie Scenic Area. It is time for us to return home.

Day 5: Go home (reluctant to part)

I got up early, packed my bags, and prepared to embark on the road home ~~

This trip to Zhangjiajie was really overjoyed. Not only did I see the beautiful scenery and taste the delicious food, I hope I can come again in the future. I can also see the towering mountains, the gurgling water, and the majestic ladders, and reminisce about the sweetest memories!!

Let's briefly describe the regrets of this trip below

1. When I saw the Hundred Dragons Ladder, I really liked it very much. It is the only sightseeing elevator in China that exists in the scenic area. Unfortunately, I only took it once. I suggest that everyone can take it up and down the mountain. It not only saves time, but also can be seen inside the ladder. You can also see many beautiful scenery from unique perspectives, including: Shenshen Gathering, Sky Pastoral, etc.

2. I feel that Zhangjiajie is really beautiful. Although it is raining, Zhangjiajie has a unique beauty after the rain. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the beautiful sunrise we had hoped for.
