Zhangjiajie has always been famous for its mysterious history and culture, rich cultural customs, Chenzhou talisman, corpse chasing, Miao Xinjiang poison? All of them are fascinating and exciting! Become a travel destination for many tourists and friends.

Because many tourists and friends come to Zhangjiajie and don't know how to play? What attractions do you want to visit? What attractions are fun? What places are worth visiting? First of all, I would like to give you a brief introduction to the main situation of Zhangjiajie. The main things to do in Zhangjiajie are to see the natural scenery, tour the mountains, play in the water, and watch the theater (ethnic customs). Let you play everything you should see and play in Zhangjiajie in a short period of time without leaving any regrets. Mountain: refers to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (including Jinbianxi, Yuanjiajie, Yangjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, Shili Gallery). Water: It refers to Baofeng Lake or Grand Canyon, which is known as a sacred lake in the sky. There is also a mysterious drama for the millennium-the large-scale national bonfire party "Charming Xiangxi". Folk songs, dances, Xiangxi chasing corpses, crying for marriage, and going up the mountain and down the sea of fire are vividly performed here, which will open your eyes. In the end, this trip was not in vain.

While traveling in Zhangjiajie, there are other things you need to consider...

1. Looking for strategies, reading travel notes, lacking information, but still having a partial understanding of it, annoying!

2. I am worried that I will not have a sense of direction, ask for directions, I will not be able to find a hotel, and the transportation will be inconvenient. Sorry!

3. I don't know where to live, I always walk wrong roads, worry about getting lost in the scenic spot, and it's very troublesome to queue up for tickets!

4. I don't know how to plan tourist routes, check various information, but I still don't know how to get there!

5. I am unfamiliar with the place of life, and there are traps everywhere

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is famous at home and abroad. It is located in the northwest of Hunan, in the middle and upper reaches of the Lishui River, and belongs to the hinterland of the Wuling Mountains. In September 1982, Zhangjiajie became China's first national forest park. In August 1988, Wulingyuan was included in the second batch of 40 key scenic spots in the country. In 1992, it was included in the World Natural Heritage List by UNESCO.

Zhangjiajie Forest Park (surrounding attractions) include: Tianmen Mountain, Baofeng Lake, Huanglong Cave, Grand Canyon, Laodaowan, Rafting, etc.

Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park: Admission 258 yuan +3 yuan insurance. Valid for one day; Tianmen Mountain has the longest Tianmen Mountain cableway in Asia, Tianmen Fairy Cave surrounded by clouds and clouds, and the world highway wonder of the 99-way bend Li Na Villa Ghost Valley Plank Road Ghost Valley Bing Pan Yunmeng Xianding Tianmen Mountain Temple Wood and Stone Love Tianmen Cave

Baofeng Lake: Admission is 96 yuan. Baofeng Lake, a world natural heritage site, is known as the world's lake classic. Baofeng Lake Scenic Area integrates mountains and rivers and integrates folk customs. It is especially famous for its unique Gaoxia Pinghu scenery, the Baofeng Waterfall and the mysterious ancient temple in the mountains.

Huanglong Cave: Tickets are 100 yuan. There are also famous attractions such as stalagmites, Dinghai, Shenzhen, Xiangshui, River Dragon King Gathering Hall, Tianxianshui, Tianzhu Street, insured for 100 million yuan.

Maoyan River Rafting: Admission is 168 yuan. Maoyan River Rafting, the first tourist rafting in China, experience the passion of dancing with the waves: Maoyan River Rafting has a water distance of 28 kilometers, a drop of 66 meters, and a total of 55 dangerous river beaches. The Maoyan River Gorge is deep, with many beaches and waves. The cliffs on both sides of the river are dangerous peaks and waterfalls and flowing springs. The river is rapid and turbulent. The waves break through the rocks and penetrate the gorges, and the peaks and rivers turn. It can really be said that it is not the Three Gorges, but better than the Three Gorges. Maoyan River Rafting is the most exciting and entertaining project among Zhangjiajie Shanshui Cave tourism projects!

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon: Admission is 219 yuan. It was officially opened to the public in 2009. The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is a museum of Zhangjiajie Landforms, where you can enjoy all the scenery of the northern temperate karst terrain! There are many waterfalls and springs in the Grand Canyon, and you can see them all the way. The vegetation in the canyon is lush, the air is fresh, cool and comfortable, and the stream is filled with a layer of mist, as if you have come to a paradise, which makes people feel troubled. There is also the world's highest bungee jumping and longest glass bridge-the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge. It is built on the peaks on both sides of the Grand Canyon and spans the Grand Canyon. The relative height of the bridge arch from the valley bottom is about 400 meters, and the total length is about 370 meters. The bridge deck is all paved with transparent glass. There is the world's highest bungee jumping in the center of the bridge. Standing on the bridge, you will have a panoramic view of the valley bottom 400 meters below your feet.

Tourism in Zhangjiajie is quite special. Self-guided tours and free tours in Zhangjiajie are actually semi-self-guided tours. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is a mountainous area with a large geographical span. Each scenic spot is scattered. If you visit all of them, it will take about three to four days. Time, it usually takes two to three days to visit the key attractions. There are many forks in the core scenic area, and many beautiful and shocking scenic spots are relatively remote. Tourists often cannot accurately estimate the time from one scenic spot to another. Tourists often sit from the departure station to the terminal station. Deviations and walking round-trip roads are common things that many pure free-travel tourists often encounter; moreover, most of the mountains in Zhangjiajie can only be viewed from afar, and if no one points out, you may not necessarily find the scenic spots on the signposted signs; In addition, local customs and language customs vary greatly, so you can enjoy all the beautiful scenery in not just one place or one day.

Therefore, the most suitable way to visit Zhangjiajie is to find a Zhangjiajie travel agency or a self-service tourism reception model, which is not suitable for purely free travel. The tour guide not only brings the knowledge, history, and culture of the scenic spot to tourists in a relatively short period of time, but also brings joy, care, and worry to tourists, which is something that you cannot enjoy while traveling alone. If you travel freely throughout the journey [no guide is needed at all], you need to do enough lesson in advance. Otherwise, because the scenic spot is so big, you will be at a loss when you arrive and don't know how to play! It is not suitable for the elderly and children or people with a particularly poor sense of direction. If you don't want to trouble, you can choose the route of Zhangjiajie's first self-service tour portal. The route you take is very classic and purely for fun, so the attractions will be arranged by the average travel agency. There are a lot more places that tour groups go and places that tour groups can't reach will be taken to play. I wish tourists from all over the world take advantage of their pleasure and return satisfied! Zhangjiajie Chenfeng Self-help Tour Xiaozhang

I hope friends will pay special attention to the following two points!

1. When taking a taxi in Zhangjiajie, the master will definitely say what happened to the XX hotel or XX reception you booked before.. Why not? They will recommend you another hotel or travel agency later. They did not do this with good intentions, but directly "sold" you to hotels or travel agencies. At the same time, there will also be some illegal soliciting of customers on trains to Zhangjiajie;

2. Many illegal soliciting people appear at railway stations and bus stations, and they will belittle other travel agencies, saying how affordable their own are, etc., so please friends must not believe their words, otherwise it will be too late to regret it!

Transportation to Zhangjiajie

1. Airport

After getting off the plane, there is a No. 4 bus outside the airport to the city. It is 1 yuan per person. In the peak season, it is 2 yuan because the air conditioning is turned on, but there are not many flights. (8:00-18:00) If you can't wait for the bus, it costs between 40 and 50 yuan to take a taxi to the city. If you want to be cheaper, it's best to turn right after exiting the airport and walk 400 meters to the airport gate. There will be many taxis outside the airport. They only cost 30 yuan. The 40 yuan taxi in the airport is expensive because there is a parking fee.

2. railway station

At the exit of Zhangjiajie Railway Station, there will be many uniformed people or non-uniformed people holding loudspeakers who recommend a few days tour to you. At this time, you don't have to pay attention to them, because they are the so-called travel agency people hanging near the railway station, also known as "towing". The best way at this time is to go straight to the big square on the left outside the exit. There are buses in the square that go directly to the city. Bus No. 5 and No. 6 are both for 1 yuan per person and the air conditioner is 2 yuan per person (22:00---06: 00 is 2 yuan per person). To get to the Forest Park Scenic Area, the bus station is 50 meters to the left of the square of the train station. Take the BUS to the scenic area at the bus station. The bus to the Forest Park costs 12 yuan/person and 40 minutes. The bus to Wulingyuan costs 12 yuan, which runs every 10 minutes. After arriving at Wulingyuan, another taxi is 5 yuan. You can go to the sign gate (that is, the ticket station there) or take the Wulingyuan Bus No. 1 and 2 bus to the sign gate. The bus to the Tianzi Mountain Ticket Station costs 15 yuan. The journey takes 1 and a half hours, and leaves every half an hour.

3. Bus Station:

When you exit the railway station square, you will see the bus station and walk 50 meters to the left. Then you change at the bus station to the scenic spot. The bus to the Forest Park Ticket Station costs 12 yuan/person and takes 40 minutes to get there; the bus to Wulingyuan costs 12 yuan, both of which run every 10 minutes. After arriving in Wulingyuan, you can take a taxi for 5 yuan. You can go to the sign gate (that is, the ticket station there) or take Wulingyuan Bus No. 1 and 2 to the sign gate; the bus to the Tianzishan Ticket Station costs 15 yuan.

If you haven't made a reservation online, you get off the plane, come to the train or bus station, and the blank expression will be written on your face. At this time, many people will come to you, saying that they are from a certain travel agency, or say that you are from a certain inn in the scenic area, or say that you are an experienced tour guide. Nowadays, in the Internet age, regular travel agencies and tour guides do not compete for customers at airports, bus stations, and railway stations. They all have their own fixed customer sources. These people all solicit customers for irregular travel agencies. The commission of soliciting customers to a travel agency is on a per-person basis. The more people there are, the more you will be asked. They are generally middle-aged and elderly people in senior grades. If you negotiate with them or fail to negotiate, then others cannot join in, and other tour guides cannot pick you up. For the rest, either you don't hire a guide, or they will follow you all the way. As a tourist, no one wants this to happen. When you come, you come in good spirits, but come back in bad spirits. Otherwise, you don't care about anyone when you are on the train, get off the plane, leave the train station, or leave the bus station.

4. by car

Since the opening of the Changzhang Expressway in 2007, it has been very convenient to travel by car to Zhangjiajie. Basically, there are highways from all over the country to Changsha. It takes two hours to walk the Changchang Expressway from Changsha to Zhangjiajie, and then two hours to walk the Changzhang Expressway., a total of four hours.

Self-driving friends should note that the first thing those guests need to do is to get in your car before you reach the scenic spot (people have been watching you since you got on the highway from Changsha). At the exit of the Zhangjiajie Expressway, there are many fake traffic police, wearing uniforms, stopping cars. Please don't be deceived by fake traffic police. As long as you don't drive a police car, you can ignore them as long as you don't drive a police car and are fake traffic police. Ignore the pretty girls waving at you by the roadside or the rides given by the eldest sister. Most of them use the excuse of helping you arrange accommodation and tourist receptions. Now a new form has emerged: introducing you to star-rated hotels at a very low price, and they will discount the money to help you book a room (for example, a four-star hotel room costs at least 280 yuan, and they may buy it for you for 180 yuan. In this super affordable situation, you will definitely not be tempted), thereby giving you a sense of trust and setting yourself up step by step. If you don't want to cause trouble, you should refuse with confidence and never hit on you! Self-driving friends should know that no matter who it is, including traffic police or government personnel, beautiful sister, if he asks to get in your car or asks you to help take someone to Zhangjiajie or Wulingyuan, he will definitely change his body.


Things to pay attention to when visiting Zhangjiajie

1. The temperature difference between the scenic area and the urban area is about 5 degrees. It is not an exaggeration to cover the scenic area with thin blankets in summer;

2. The less luggage, the better, and the lighter the better. It is best to bring an umbrella or rainproof underwear (you can also buy a raincoat locally, which costs 3- 5 yuan per piece). Because the weather in the mountains is unpredictable. Be sure to bring good anti-mosquito water in summer. Prepare some simple medicines such as wet tissues, band-aids, anti-inflammatory tablets, and anti-leakage tablets (to prevent acclimatization) for disinfection; wear non-slip sneakers for shoes, and the mobile phone battery must be fully charged to avoid being unable to contact.

3. If you are students, the elderly (over 60 years old), disabled, military officers, and provincial press cards, don't forget to bring them before going out, and you can enjoy the corresponding preferential tickets.

4. Zhangjiajie is famous for its mountains, so most of the time is climbing mountains, so everyone must choose flat shoes, preferably ones that have been worn through, so that they will not grind their feet. Neither inns nor hotels provide disposable toiletries, so it is best to bring them with you or buy them locally.

5. Be sure to remember the phone number of the tour guide during the trip. There are many people in the scenic area. If you encounter any problems, it will be convenient for the tour guide to solve them for you in time.

How to get to Phoenix from Zhangjiajie

Go by yourself. Take a direct bus from Zhangjiajie Bus Station to Fenghuang Chengbei Bus Station for 77 yuan (transfer to the bus or take a taxi to the ancient city). It takes more than four hours to get there, but the number of trains is relatively small. There are only four buses a day. At 8:30 in the morning, 9:30 and 14:30 and 15:30 in the afternoon, tickets are relatively tight, and there are usually no tickets for temporary purchases (usually tour guides or travel agencies have made reservations long ago, and tickets are even more tight during peak seasons, so there are no tickets for temporary purchases). If you can't catch up with these trains, you can choose to stay in the city for the night or take a train to Jishou first. It's troublesome, and then transfer to Fenghuang. There are many trains to Jishou in the afternoon, at 17:28, 18:30, and 17:30. The CMB from Jishou to Fenghuang closes around 8:30 p.m. Of course, friends who have money can charter a car to go there.

The trip has come to an end, but you still have unfinished business? Pay attention to Xiaobian and continue to update more Zhangjiajie travel guide guides.
