After winter, there is a rare sunny day in mid-December. The winter sun is not very bright but also warm. It is so warm that it makes people feel a little distracted and ready to move. The two of us discussed on the 19th and looked at the weather forecast for Zhangjiajie in recent days. It was decided that we would set off for Zhangjiajie on the 21st.

For air tickets, there is only one Junxiang Airlines flight from Hangzhou to Zhangjiajie at 7 a.m., so there is no choice. The return journey was awkward. We had three nights and four days, but Jixiang Airlines flew every other day. So, let's go with the luck and turn to Changsha and "independent autumn, the Xiangjiang River heads north, and Juzizhou head." Look at the mountains all red and the forests all dyed; the rivers are clear and green, and hundreds of boats compete for the current...", Grandpa Mao's poems are really good.

The scheduled "ride" at 5:30 on Monday, the 21st, was for a young man who was going to work at the airport. I remember that there is an option on the ride-hailing platform,"Passengers pay tolls". We have habitually checked in order to successfully hail a taxi, but our little brother doesn't want it because "tolls" will only be generated on the return journey of this highway. I didn't say much except to thank you, which was normal, but I was still very happy in the bottom of my heart. It was not because I saved 20 yuan, but because I saw the youth who showed up in addition to the ingenuity of every penny in the world. People have a peaceful mind and even an atmosphere.

Returning to the topic, as usual, most morning flights can take off on time, and the journey was smooth. After getting off the plane, he asked for a ride again. It was another young brother. To add another word here, Zhangjiajie Airport is very small and there are not many passengers. There are groups of people who are said to be engaged in tourist attraction business, but it is unclear about the subsequent situation. On the way to the hotel, the young man and the driver enthusiastically reminded us not to pay attention to them so as not to be deceived.

I once asked about it from Zhangjiajie Airport to Wulingyuan Hotel. It is about 90 yuan to take a taxi. You can also take a taxi from the airport to the Yongding District Bus Station. Or 100 meters in front of the airport gate is the departure station of Bus No. 4. This route is a ring line. Take the outer ring of Bus No. 4 to the "Guanliping Turntable", and walk 700 meters to the central bus station. (I haven't tried it, just for reference.)

Our hotel, Crowne Plaza Naburi, Zhangjiajie, costs 999 yuan for three nights, which is the boss promotional price for Ctrip in the first half of the year. In Wulingyuan, the location is good and it is close to the sign gate of Tianzi Mountain. You can also walk to Xibu Street. There are many shops for eating in the center of the town. You can mix among the local people and touch the fireworks of Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie. I think the food is spicy. If you want to try a small spicy food, but if she doesn't give you spicy food, you will still shed tears. Is this Hunan cuisine?, Finally, there is a dumpling restaurant called "Zhang Gagai" where you can adjust your taste buds.

Tell me about the itinerary: (Zhangjiajie is suitable for free travel)

At 8 a.m. on Tuesday, the 22nd, the hotel went out and took a taxi for 6 yuan to reach the Wulingyuan Sign Gate.(The hotel can turn left and walk along the river for about 15 minutes to reach the Sign Gate.) On the bus, I asked the master which was better to take the "Hundred Dragons Stairway" or the "Tianzi Mountain Cableway"? In fact, people have to experience it personally. After a trip, I thought it would be better to go up the "Tianzi Mountain Cableway". There are two points: first, the mountain cable car has beautiful views, and second, Yuan Jiajie has a strong backlighting in the morning. "Hundred Dragons Ladder" is really a helpless choice-it's just 65 yuan to take the elevator.

I am the opposite--sign door-Bailong Tiantian-Yuanjiajie-Yangjiajie-Tianzi Mountain-Tianzi Mountain Cableway-Sign door

The "Hundred Dragons Stairway" quickly arrived at the Stairway Station, and then took a sightseeing bus to Yuanjiajie.

Yuan Jiajie, where the "Avatar" movie was filmed in Zhangjiajie. After visiting the back garden, Chizui Terrace, Haliluya Mountain, Lianxin Bridge, Changshou Pool, Divine Turtle Wentian, and World's No. 1 Bridge. The entire road in Yuanjia Jie is relatively gentle, and it is easier to follow the signs. There is KFC in the visitor center.

The Ecstasy Platform is divided into two levels. The first level has a gentle slope from east to west, about 100 square meters; the second level is about 2 meters lower than the first level and is a slab that is closely connected to the first level and extends horizontally. Watching the scenery here, the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland, making people feel distracted. This is homework I did before I came here, and the scenery I see here at this time is the hazy sky and hazy mountains under the winter sun. It can be seen that there is a reason for the "off-season". Of course, the towering stone pillars in the valley are still magnificent regardless of seasons.

Qiankun Pillar, also known as the suspended mountain, is named after the suspended mountain prototype in the Avatar movie.

The best place to appreciate the Qiankun Pillar is not where the Avatar sculpture is. We have to continue to move forward. The bridge between hearts is the best perspective to shoot the Qiankun Pillar. This heart-to-heart bridge is a hollow steel structure bridge, from which you can directly see the valley thousands of meters below.

The first bridge in the world. A curved arch bridge is naturally formed between the two mountains. You can stand on the observation deck and watch the bridge. If you want to take photos, you have to go around the plank road behind the bridge.

The scenic spots in Yuanjiajie Scenic Area are relatively concentrated and can be visited in about an hour and a half. Then follow the signs to Tianqiao Parking Lot and take a sightseeing bus to Yangjiajie (get off at Wulongzhai Station).

I heard that the Yangjiajie Scenic Area was under maintenance and repair, so we didn't go to Tianbo Prefecture, Wulong Village, etc.

To see the Natural Great Wall, you need to walk uphill first, which is quite tiring. People with poor physical strength think that the value is not high.

Go back to Wulongzhai Parking Lot and take an eco-friendly car to Shentang Bay, where you can visit Shentang Bay and Dianjiangtai. This is something I have done in my homework, but almost no bus driver will get off the bus halfway to Helong Park. It was a coincidence that we were driving to Daguan Terrace (also a niche scenic spot). A boy who looked like a student got on the bus alone and chose Shentang Bay. It was exactly what I wanted, so we came here for a tour.

Shentang Bay, about 600 meters deep, is shrouded in clouds and clouds all day long. It is said that it is a place where immortals gather; it is also said that this is a place where the king returns to heaven; another saying is that it was once an ancient battlefield where five daughters of the Yang family went south to fight in the Song Dynasty. How exactly it is still a mystery. The magic is that as long as you approach the edge of the pool, you will vaguely hear the sound of gongs and drums, and people shouting and horses hiss, as if there are thousands of troops and horses fighting fiercely. As for legends, just listen to it, we were once again shocked by the magical group of stone peaks, because the peak forest seen from Dianjiangtai Shentang Bay feels completely different from the peak forest of Xihai Sea. Really, there is no aesthetic fatigue, only more beautiful. (It should be the same group of stone peaks, just from different angles)

Note that it takes more than ten minutes to walk down the mountain steps to get to the Shentang Bay Observation Deck. The key point is that returning is climbing the mountain. The two stations from Shentangwan to Dianjiangtai are relatively close apart. When you return from Dianjiangtai to the roadside, you need to wave and take an environmentally friendly car to Helong Park. Behind the statue of He Long. Look at the Xihai Peak Forest from another angle and the Yubi Peak and Tiannu Dispersing Flowers that test one's imagination.

I have already visited all the main attractions in Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie, and it is only before 4 p.m. to check my watch. The journey is smooth and leisurely, and the scenery is leisurely, especially there is no need to queue for the train or wait for the ladder. This is the advantage of the off-season tourism. It's satisfying to think about it like this.

Today's itinerary is, go out of the hotel and walk to Wulingyuan Bus Station. There is a minibus that goes straight to the entrance of Zhangjiajie Forest Park for 10 yuan. After entering, take an eco-friendly bus to Huangshizhai Cableway Station. The cable car goes to the top of Huangshizhai → Walk around the top of the mountain → Return to the cable car to Dayang Bar Square → Go straight down the stream and you will find the Jinbian River, which is 7.5km long, which takes about 2 minutes. In 5 hours, you will pass through Jinbianyan, Changshou Spring, Shuanggui Tanxi, Huaguoshan and other scenic spots to arrive at Sishui Raomen Environmental Protection Station, and then take a bus back to Wulingyuan Sign Gate.

To be honest, the view of the stone peaks in Huangshi Village is not as beautiful as yesterday. In addition, maintenance and repair construction are underway now, and the mountain top is messy like a construction site. Almost all the tourists you see are tourist groups. I didn't get the exact information in advance. If you see me, don't go.

In addition, I have seen this one in the browsing guide: Running the Slope, connecting the Yuanjia boundary in the Jinbian River Grand Canyon and the back garden. This road up the mountain takes more than 2000 steps, and there are 4 resting areas along the way, where you can rest while climbing the mountain. When we were walking Jinbian River, we saw signs leading the mountain climbing slope, which was specially used as a reference for those who intend to wander.

Today is from Zhangjiajie West Railway Station to Changsha Station.

Changsha We stayed at the Grand Hyatt with a lounge. The "hotel stay" arranged by my son was undoubtedly the perfect conclusion to the trip.

We went to Juzizhou and then Guojin Street nearby. In fact, I also made an appointment for Super Wenheyou, but looking at the crowded young faces on Changsha Street, I tactfully gave up Wenheyou and what to do at what age, right? We visited Jia Yi's former residence in Taiping Old Street.

Return to Hangzhou today. We bought high-speed rail tickets from Changsha South to Hangzhou East from 13:27 to 18:05. The south of Changsha Railway Station is not only spacious, but the chairs in the waiting room are quite comfortable. It is easy and convenient to get on the bus with your ID card, and taking the high-speed train is also a good choice for short trips. I think so.

This trip to Hunan was generally smooth, pleasant and beautiful. There were also minor incidents that were not very pleasant. For example, the two taxi drivers I met in Changsha this time were really bad. The first one we took a taxi to Juzizhou. He pointed out under the bridge in the car and told him that this was it. We got off and walked for a long way. Foreign tourists are unlucky because they are unfamiliar with the place. If we walk, we will not be much farther from the hotel than walking after taking a taxi. Didi complained, and then investigated and responded, to the effect that the complaint was true and the driver educated and corrected it. The process followed by customer service is also standardized. I know it is meaningless, but there is nothing wrong with it. The second time was to the South Railway Station. I called "Kuaidi New Taxi" on Didi Platform. The page had clear distance and price estimates. Then, the price of 39 yuan became 62 yuan when I arrived at the South Railway Station. I had objections, and the driver took the initiative to pay by scanning WeChat for 50 yuan. I call a car on the platform, and of course I pay on the platform. He saw how I accepted my principles and compromised. In the end, I paid 40 yuan, which I had to pay on the platform. I don't know how he revised the price. There should be loopholes in the taxi charges on Didi Platform. The fee of 62 yuan is definitely a detour (there is no traffic jam), and offline scanning WeChat scanning and scanning payment is also a violation, but I don't want to go to Didi Customer Service anymore. The so-called criticism and education are necessary. In fact, poor management means condoning individual bad drivers to deceive foreign passengers.
