Changsha: Stayed for two nights at Jinjiang Inn (near the train station), which is very close to the train station and can be reached by the airport bus after getting off the plane; Changsha Xiaoxiang Business Hotel (South High-Speed Railway Station Store), stayed for one night. This is a family hotel with a very nice owner.

2. Zhangjiajie: Home Inn (Zhangjiajie Railway Station Tianmenshan Forest Park Branch) is very close to the railway station and very convenient.


Food:

We usually find a place to eat near where we live. There is a restaurant opposite the hotel where we stay in Changsha where we feel better. It's not bad. The chopped pepper fish head tastes particularly good. I ate three times in Zhangjiajie, but I didn't like the taste very much. Changsha's specialty is very good.

The above expenses are all total for three people, and some expenses for meals, buses, subway, etc. will not be listed one by one.


Let's start my specific itinerary. For convenience and freedom, we are a semi-free travel. We signed up for two tours in the middle. I will introduce it in detail in the following itinerary, hoping to give you some reference and reference.

To avoid the peak, we chose the evening flight

Day1: From Shenyang to Changsha (19:05--23: 50). It was a little late to arrive in Changsha. Fortunately, the plane was not late. After getting off the plane, we took the airport bus. There was a self-service airport bus ticket sales place at the luggage collection place, and then there was a bus at the door. It was very convenient. We took to the train station, got off the train and started looking for the hotel I booked, Jinjiang Inn (Changsha Railway Station Store). The hotel was easy to find and the environment was good. After getting off the bus, we still walked a little further. It was very late, so we went to bed right after arriving at the hotel.


Day2: Today's itinerary is to Shaoshan. I previously booked a one-day tour on Ctrip, which costs 68 yuan per person (excluding meals). The meeting place in the morning was very close to the hotel where we stayed. I arrived at the meeting place early. There was Xiaoyuan Park nearby, so we went there first and took a look. Many citizens were exercising in the morning.

The park is not too big, but the environment is very good. Then we took a bus to Shaoshan.

I first arrived at Liu Shaoqi's hometown

There were a lot of people in line

There were a lot of people in line at Chairman Mao's former residence.

After the tour, I took the bus back. The group was still very satisfied. There was no extra consumption or shopping. The tour guide service was very good and the service was particularly good. Enjoy the trip. After returning to the hotel, it rained a little. I ate at a restaurant called Return Diners nearby opposite the hotel. The food was good. The chopped pepper fish head was especially delicious. The three of them spent a total of 90 yuan and were very full.


Day3: Changsha-Zhangjiajie (7:16--12: 04, K9026) We had breakfast in the morning at a breakfast shop near the railway station. Lunch was settled on the train. After getting off the train, we went to the booked Home Inn first. The hotel is very close to the railway station and is very easy to find. After arriving at the hotel, we packed our luggage and set out for Huanglong Cave. Take a bus at the Central Bus Station to Wulingyuan, then take the No. 1 bus to Huanglongdong and get off. Although it was already afternoon when we arrived, there were still many people in the scenic area. Huanglong Cave belongs to a karst landform, and parents prefer to see this natural wonder. There are young ladies who explain in Huanglong Cave, which is very good, but going to Huanglong Cave requires a certain amount of physical strength.

After visiting Huanglong Cave, we returned the same way and found a restaurant near the hotel where we stayed for dinner.

The following is the more difficult thing. Before setting off, I signed up for a three-day tour of Zhangjiajie Phoenix. I agreed that a service staff would sign a contract with me at 6 o'clock tonight to determine the specific travel matters. However, I didn't see anyone. I called N points and always told me to be there soon. Finally, I arrived near 10 o'clock in the evening. Since I only paid a deposit when I booked online before, I actually added extra fees when making up the final payment. We took an uphill ropeway to the Yangjiajie and a downhill Hundred Dragons Ladder. Then we were told to go to the Yuanjiajie Village and lied to us that we couldn't go to the Yuanjiajie without going to the Yuanjiajie. And the fee charged us is higher than the actual price. Tragic lesson. Friends who want to come to visit should choose a regular tour group or take more guides to travel freely.


Day4: We visited Zhangjiajie today. After breakfast in the morning, the travel agency picked us up and drove us to Zhangjiajie. It was already misty and misty when we arrived in Zhangjiajie. Since I was following the group, I listened to other people's arrangements. The day was spent in the rain, from light rain to heavy rain to light rain. Due to the weather, some scenery was lost. It was a pity that. Put some photos below.

Because the fog was too strong, I couldn't see anything, and it rained all the time and I didn't take many photos. I went back to my place to rest and lived on the mountain. The conditions were very poor, and the group meal was not delicious. Zhangjiajie is so cold when it rains.


Day5: After breakfast today, we will continue to visit Zhangjiajie with our tour guide. The weather has finally cleared up. Today, we have been traveling in Zhangjiajie for a long time. The last stop is Shili Gallery. We didn't take the small train from Shili Gallery. We don't recommend that everyone take the small train. It's good to take a walk and take photos to see the scenery. After lunch, the tour guide from Zhangjiajie took us to Toast City and handed us over to the tour guide for Phoenix at the next stop. Zhangjiajie Forest Park gives me a really average feeling. It may be influenced by the weather and travel agencies. I hope I have the opportunity to have a better experience next time.

Take a few photos of Zhangjiajie first.

After lunch, the tour guide in Zhangjiajie gave us the Tusi City in the picture above, and we waited there for the tour guide to Phoenix. Take a bus to Phoenix in the afternoon, go to PhoenixHuang's tour guide is fat and really nice. He is warm and humorous. He keeps explaining the local customs and customs on the bus. The tour guide arranged a group meal for us on the way. It was already evening when we arrived at Phoenix. The tour guide took us to the hotel and told us that we could go and see the night view of Phoenix by ourselves. The night view of Phoenix was very beautiful.


Day6: The tour guide said that Phoenix is at its most beautiful time at night and early morning. He followed the tour guide to visit Phoenix again in the morning without having breakfast. Yesterday I saw the neon lights in Phoenix, and today I am watching the peace and ease of the morning.



We spent the morning touring Phoenix and the trip was over. After the tour guide took us to lunch, we took a bus from Fenghuang to Huaihua, and then took a high-speed train from Huaihua to Changsha. It saves time, but the relative cost will be higher. We arrived at Changsha South Railway Station very quickly. I booked a hotel nearby. It was a family inn, but the owner was very good and came to the train station to pick us up. After dinner we took a walk around the neighborhood.


Day7: The tour is coming to an end. We had a flight in the afternoon and still had time in the morning. We went to Juzizhou Head. We can take the subway directly from where we live, which is very convenient.

After a quick tour, we took the subway back to the hotel to pick up our luggage, and then went straight to the airport at Changsha South Railway Station. Since I have never done a magnetic levitation before, all my curiosity drove me to give it a try. The ticket from Changsha South Railway Station to the airport of 20 yuan per person is really expensive. You can choose to take the airport bus for 10 yuan per person. It's too late to regret it. Let's experience magnetic levitation. Our journey was over and we got on a plane home.


PS: I went on this trip in 19 years. I wrote half of my travel notes before. Due to my busy work, I have been stagnant. Recently, I have been relatively free, so I finally finished writing this travel note. It can be said that this travel note was more than two years late. I hope that the epidemic will pass quickly and we can visit the great rivers and mountains happily.
