Taking three days of annual leave, my colleagues and I wanted to go to Zhangjiajie to have a trip. Before leaving, the two of us looked for a lot of information online and always wanted to appreciate the essence of Zhangjiajie during these three days. We booked a hotel online in advance and roughly planned it. Take a look at the itinerary.

about the itinerary

Our itinerary should be divided into three parts, which are roughly three parts: glass plank road, glass bridge and Wulingyuan Scenic Area. Because I saw reviews on the Internet that I had to visit Wulingyuan when I came to Zhangjiajie, and learned that tickets for Wulingyuan were valid for 4 days, we spent most of our time here. However, the various rumors about glass plank road and glass bridge are so hyped that we also want to experience it.

about traffic

Because it involved the conversion of three scenic spots, we decided that it would be more convenient to drive from Chongqing to Zhangjiajie. Route: Take the Baotou Expressway from the South Ring Interchange in Chongqing City, drive more than 430 kilometers, enter the Zhanghua Expressway, drive more than 100 kilometers, enter the Changzhang Expressway, drive more than 60 kilometers, get off the highway at Yanghe Exit, and you will go directly to the Wulingyuan Scenic Area. You can enter the scenic spot from Wulingyuan Wujiayu Ticket Station, which is also the sign ticket station.

We arrived the night before and parked directly in the hotel's free parking lot.

PS: There is also a commercial pedestrian street near Wulingyuan Scenic Area. You can go for a stroll at night. It's quite good ~

After a night of renovation, our trip officially began!

DAY 1

We walked to the Wujiayu Ticket Station in Wulingyuan. This is the sign gate. We specially chose the hotel next to this for easy access.

Our first stop was to the Hundred Dragon Ladder, which we had long heard of. Almost everyone who came here would choose to take the Hundred Dragon Ladder up the mountain. The Yuanjiajie Scenic Area on the mountain is the core scenic spot of Wulingyuan and has become every tourist. First choice.

I originally thought that there would be many tourists in such a large scenic spot, but I didn't expect that the Hundred Dragons Stairway would have a strong capacity and could accommodate dozens of people. The space was still loose.

We bought a round-trip ticket to enter through the exclusive channel, and we didn't have to wait in line.

Riding the Hundred Dragons Ladder up the mountain is really a novel experience. In the past, we used to do cable cars and cableways, but there is actually such transportation in Wulingyuan Scenic Area.

The transparent glass around it provides us with a good viewing platform.

After getting off the elevator, we went directly to the core scenic spot of Wulingyuan [Yuanjiajie], which opened our mountain upper reaches model.

The first stop on the mountain[Back Garden]I always see the back garden on the Internet. I always thought it was the back garden in the courtyard of the entire Yuan Family Statue, but it is said that it is not. Anyway, it is very beautiful ~

the second station[Mount Hallelujah]It's no stranger to the name, and many people have come here because of its fame. Don't tell me, this Shi Feng is really quite interesting.

the third stop[The first bridge in the world]Hanging between the cliffs, red ribbons symbolizing good luck and blessings are hung on both sides of the bridge. It is really thrilling and warm, and we can't help but sigh at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.

At noon, we ate and rested at the Yuanjiajie Visitor Center...

First stop in the afternoon[Wulong Village]Wulong Village is said to be the place where bandits originally set up camp. Curiosity drove us to visit, and it was quite interesting.

On the way to Tianbo Prefecture, you need to go through a relatively rugged road, and then you need to climb[Reaching the sky in one step]The ladder can only be used to reach Tianbo Prefecture. The ladder is very narrow and steep. Only one person can walk in a row at a time, which is in line with the atmosphere of the Yangjiajie.

the second station[Tianbo Prefecture]Go straight to Tianbo Prefecture in one step

Watching the color of the sky changing little by little in Tianbo Prefecture, we should go down the mountain as the sun sets.

So, when we got down from Tianbo Prefecture, we took an eco-friendly car to Bailong Tiantian Station, and took the tickets we had bought before and went straight down the mountain.

DAY 2

The first day is the upper reaches of the mountain, so today we will develop a good place at the foot of the mountain ~

[Big Oxygen Bar Square]+[Jinbianxi]

We originally wanted to go to Jinbianxi after reading the online recommendations. However, on the way, we saw a huge square with green grass and water vapor floating in the air. Later, we learned that this was the Big Oxygen Bar Square. Named for it because of its abundant oxygen. It is said that it contains 80,000 - 100,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter.

We walked here and followed the water source to Jinbian Creek.

Every inch of land here is moist, and every trace of air is refreshing. Walking here is really enjoyable, without the fatigue of tourism. We took a lot of green photos, which are very eye-catching ~

The two-day trip to Wulingyuan ended with the beautiful gift of nature to us ~ I fell in love here. The strange mountains and rocks, green mountains and clear waters, and its artificial miracle, the perfect combination of the Hundred Dragons Ladder and the natural beauty., it is a good place for traveling, vacating, and relaxing.

We deliberately ended early in the afternoon, returned to the hotel to rest for a while, and set off early to go near Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area to prepare for the next day.

DAY 3

We had previously read on the Internet that we had to take a cable car to go to the Tianmen Mountain Glass Plank Road, and there were a lot of people queuing up on the cable road, so we set out early in the morning.

As expected, the queue time was too long and the capacity of the cable car was too small. It took an hour to get on the train. We waited for a long time before we got on it. It's not bad to sit on the cable car and overlook the scenery below, but I'm running out of patience in front of me. What can I do if I'm impatient?

The glass plank road was a bit short. When we went there, it was crowded with people, so it was not so exciting. Looking back, it took more than 200 yuan to come in full of expectations, which was a bit different from what we imagined.

Next to the glass plank road is the Ghost Valley plank road. This plank road is longer and feels similar to the plank road. To be honest, I don't find it too scary. If you like adventure and excitement, forget it.

We thought it was not interesting, so we left early and went to the glass bridge to play in the afternoon ~

It's really no exaggeration. There are more people on the glass bridge than on the glass plank road. As many people as possible can get on it. What can I do? I'm also very desperate... Fortunately, the glass bridge can be bought separately from the Grand Canyon tickets. We only bought more than 150 tickets for the glass bridge.
