The words written in front

You don't need to hire a tour guide to Zhangjiajie. As long as you can read and read my guide, you can be a tour guide. At the same time, I would like to remind you that if the name or phone number of the tour guide appears in the guide, don't believe it. These are all advertising posts written by the tour guide himself.

There are three reasons for not inviting a tour guide: First, the greatest joy of self-guided tours is to plan your own route, explore unknown distances, get on the bus to sleep, get off the bus to pee, and take photos of scenic spots. The travel method of traveling is suitable for elderly friends; Second, Zhangjiajie is mainly based on natural scenery, there is nothing historical and humanistic, and there is no need for explanation at all. It is enough to see with your eyes and experience it with your soul; Third, there are many black and wild guides in Zhangjiajie. It is understandable that you rely on the mountains to eat, but if you come all the way to meet a black guide, the whole good mood of the journey will be ruined, and the gain will not outweigh the gain.

Important Tips:Tickets for scenic spots in Zhangjiajie are relatively expensive, so it is best to book online in advance.

Day 1: Tujia Style Garden, Tianjia Courtyard

Tujia Style Garden is also known as "Tusi City". In a word, it is the place where Tujia chiefs lived and worked in the old days. In high school history textbooks, there is a paragraph "Changing the soil and returning to the flow" that talks about the history of Tusi. Jiuchong Tiantian Hereditary Hall is the essence and soul of the Tujia Style Garden. The entire building is connected with wooden pegs without a nail. It can be called a miracle in the history of Tujia architecture.

The old courtyard is the ancestral home of the Tian family. The old courtyard has a scholarly history and outstanding people, writing a rare family legend. Visiting the old courtyard, I couldn't help but think of a couplet I saw in Jixi, Anhui ten years ago,"For hundreds of years, people have nothing but good deeds, and the first good thing is just reading." The old courtyard has gone through vicissitudes, from glory to decline, and the descendants of the Tian family have gradually faded out of people's view with the changes of history. In the vicissitudes of life, the people are not here, but the family is romantic.

Transportation: Tujia Style Garden and Tianjia Courtyard are both located in the urban area of Zhangjiajie and can be reached by bus or taxi. It is recommended to visit these two places on the first day to get a preliminary experience of Tujia customs and get a general understanding of Zhangjiajie, which will facilitate the next itinerary planning.

Day 2: Huanglong Cave, Baofeng Lake

The bottom area of Huanglong Cave is very large and can accommodate tens of thousands of people. There are holes in the cave and there is a river in the cave, like an underground "magic palace". There are a dazzling array of stone milk, stone pillars, and stalagmites dripping with water on the dome wall. However, compared with the Guilin Cave, Huanglong Cave is still a little inferior. Many places in the cave have serious man-made damage due to safety considerations. The most famous part of Huanglong Cave is the "Dinghai Godly Needle". It is actually a tall and thin stalagmite. If you are not careful, you can easily miss it.

It is highly recommended not to go to Baofeng Lake as it is not worth the 96 yuan ticket price. Although Baofeng Lake is a 5A scenic spot, there are few scenic spots. Half an hour is enough for a week by boat. The only unique thing is sitting on a boat and listening to original Tujia folk songs. At the end of the boat, several Tujia sisters will enthusiastically take photos with you. At this time, you must keep calm and don't be fooled by your charm. You will charge 10 yuan to take a photo with a sister, charged according to the number of people.

Transportation: Huanglong Cave and Baofeng Lake are not far from Wulingyuan. You can take a bus from Zhangjiajie urban area to Wulingyuan, and then take a tourist bus to reach the scenic spots.

Day 3: Tianmen Mountain, Tianmen Fox Fairy

Tianmen Mountain is named after the natural wonder Tianmen Gate. The ticket to Tianmen Mountain is 261 yuan, and I dare say that 200 of them are used for cableways and mountain elevators. Tianmen Mountain cableway is known as the longest in the world, and you have at least 20 minutes in the air to admire Zhangjiajie. The mountain-crossing elevator runs in the mountain tunnel the entire time. Sit in the elevator until you want to vomit. You can see how long it is. The electricity bill alone is enough. After that, there are not many real scenic spots in Tianmen Mountain. I really don't understand why anyone even needs a tour guide on Tianmen Mountain. Forget about the tour routes on the east and west routes. You can just take a map and tour each scenic spot and draw a circle. Half a day is enough. The glass plank road is also a man-made attraction. A suspended glass corridor is erected in the air. Tianmen Mountain is really a moat. If there are no attractions, I will spend money to build an attraction.

Sister Hu--er ~ my wife--ah? Brother Liu Hai-uh ~ my husband-ah? "Tianmen Fox Fairy" tells the sad and beautiful love story between an older man Liu Hai and a white rich and beautiful Fox Fairy. The real-life landscape performance, with a performance team of nearly 300 people, was quite shocking and definitely worth seeing. To put it with some emotion, the story of Liu Hai chopping a woodcutter has been passed down for thousands of years, but people still relish it, not because the story itself is so fascinating, but because the people's pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty will never go out of style and will always be the main theme.

Transportation: Tianmenshan Cableway Station is located in the urban area and can be seen as soon as you exit the train station. The performance venue of Tianmen Fox Fairy is a bit far away, but there is a direct tourist bus, so you must buy tickets in advance. If you buy tickets on site, it will be expensive and costly.

Day 4: National Forest Park (Huangshizhai, Jinbianxi)

The National Forest Park is also called the Wulingyuan Core Scenic Area. When playing in the forest park, you must remember one principle, that is, go to the top of the mountain as soon as possible. Only at the top of the mountain can you see the most beautiful scenery. You can't see anything at the bottom of the mountain, just walk. So there are cableways and elevators, so you must take cableways up the mountain and then walk down the mountain. Why visit Huangshizhai and Jinbianxi first? Because these two places are near the main entrance of the scenic area, it is best to find. Through these two attractions, you can have a general impression of the scenic area, understand the bus routes, times, etc., and make it convenient to arrange the next itinerary. If you don't go to Huangshi Village, you will come to Zhangjiajie in vain. Someone once commented on Huangshi Village as follows: Five steps are amazing, seven steps are amazing; ten steps away, one is stunned. Looking at it on the spot, Huangshi Village cannot be called "strange". Only Huangshan Mountain is the real "strange". Huangshi Village is more of a "special". Huangshi Village has ridges and corners, unique shapes and unique characteristics. From the cableway up the mountain, the top of the mountain gathers the essence of Huangshi Village, such as the Back Garden of Liuqi Pavilion, the Front Garden, the Star Picking Terrace, the Five Finger Peak, the Black Zongnao, the fairy laying flowers, and the monkey shuai commanding soldiers. Walking down the mountain, it takes about half a day to complete Huangshi Village.

Jinbian River is purely a leisure route, completely flat and has almost no steps. It is a favorite of middle-aged and elderly friends. Attractions in Jinbianxi include Guanyin sending off children, Pig Bajie carrying daughter-in-law, Drunken Arhat, Divine Eagle Protecting Whip, Cutting Mountains to Save Mother, and Candle Peak. It all depends on imagination. Otherwise, the stone will look bigger from a distance, and the big stone will look closer.

Transportation: There are cars in the urban area to get to the Forest Park Ticket Station, and there are buses in the scenic area. Pay attention to the routes and you can save many unnecessary roads. If you want to stay in the scenic area, I really don't recommend you to stay in the scenic area. They are all private hotels. There are hotels of all types outside the scenic area, and they are not far from here.

Day 5: National Forest Park (Yuanjiajie, Yangjiajie)

Coming in from the Wulingyuan Ticket Station, you can take the scenic bus directly to the Bailong Ladder. The moment the elevator runs out of the shaft, a magical picture is straight into your eyes, which is one of the top ten unique scenes in Zhangjiajie, the "Divine Soldiers Gathering". After getting out of the Bailong Elevator, you can see the world's No. 1 Bridge, Ecstasy Terrace, Back Garden, and the famous Hallelujah Floating Mountain. These attractions are not far away and it is no problem to break through one by one.

After touring Yuanjiajie, take a bus to the Yangjiajie cableway station, and start to enter Wulong Village, Tianbo Mansion, and climb to the sky in one step. Wulong Village is the most magical place in Zhangjiajie. It used to be a place where bandits lived and had a dangerous terrain. After Wulong Village, it is Tianbo Prefecture. There are more than 10 natural stone walls of uneven height and height, and the scene is spectacular; there are iron ladders to reach the summit in one step, and the summit is flat. Compared with the large number of tourists in Jinbianxi and Yuanjiajie, Yangjiajie seems quiet and mysterious. The scenic spot is full of strange peaks and streams, and the eyes are full of green.

Day 6: National Forest Park (Tianzi Mountain)

I used the word "special" to describe Zhangjiajie. The first time I saw it was "special", but the second and third time I felt it became ordinary. After swimming for two days, I felt visual fatigue. Due to the maintenance of the Tianzi Mountain cableway, we took a large circle to Helong Park, where Yubi Peak, Tianzi Pavilion, and Fairy Sanhua were nearby. Let's complain about the two artificial lofts in the Forest Park, the Liuqi Pavilion in Huangshi Village and the Tianzi Pavilion in Tianzi Mountain. The buildings are not unique, but there are many tricks in them that require tourists to pay for them. There are two roads down from Tianzi Mountain. One is to take Nantianmen Gate and the other is to take Shili Gallery. Most people choose Shili Gallery. Don't take a small train, which is about the same speed as walking.

Some people and some things:

Zhangjiajie has a lot of Koreans, and they are also of high quality. They quietly become a beautiful man and rarely talk loudly or jump in line. This time, I met an Englishman on the way, who was a college student who came to Foshan as an intern teacher. She took the wrong way at Tianbo Prefecture. I kindly reminded her, and she decisively followed me. Bringing a foreign girl is very sexy. What I felt most along the way was the envious eyes of the man next to me, which were burning. Even the 70s-year-old man watching the mountains gave me a thumbs up,"Young man, not bad!"

I also met a college student who asked people everywhere along the way if she could give me a cigarette and help me buy a bottle of water. According to her, she had no more than 50 yuan in cash on her. This is not a poor travel, it is simply a beggar travel.

If you are tired from climbing mountains, which is better for leisure and entertainment? Decisively recommend Venice Water World, right next to the train station. Come and have a foot bath. Under the dim light, a Tujia girl wearing high heels is walking towards you leisurely. Under the miniskirt that can't be shorter, there are a pair of dazzling white legs-------(500 words are omitted here)
