D2 :Zhangjiajie Forest Park

Starting today, I officially travel with a travel agency. In the morning, I picked up our temporary group on the bus and headed straight to Zhangjiajie Forest Park (Wulingyuan). After introducing myself, the male tour guide talked about the local customs and conditions. Of course, the key point was that this place was a bandit nest before liberation, and the government made little progress in suppressing bandits. Finally, under the negotiation work of Premier Zhou, the place was peacefully liberated. The tour guide introduced Zhangjiajie to the mystery and beauty. The mystery refers to the culture there, the beauty refers to the mountains and rivers there, and the mystery includes the corpse removal. Many people have never seen the techniques of witchcraft and Nuo with their own eyes, but the spread among ten and ten spread among hundreds, and the more it spreads, the more mysterious it becomes.

We entered from Yangjiajie and took small transportation in the scenic area and then took the cable car to Yuanjiajie. We didn't visit Yangjiajie at all. The tour guide took everyone to Yuanjiajie and told us how to go. At what time they gathered together, he didn't tell everyone anything and asked everyone to follow the route he had told us to visit. We just disilludly visited the Avatar shooting spots, the Qiankun Pillar of the Hallelujah Prototype Mountain, the Charming Platform, the Heart Bridge, the First Bridge in the World, etc., which can be said to be a zoomed bonsai and a zoomed world.

There are locks and red cloth strips on the railing above the first bridge.

At noon, the tour guide took us to finish lunch quickly, took the bus to Huangshizhai Scenic Area, took the cable car and arrived at the station. The tour guide handed our group to a local tour guide dressed in Turkish costumes. Under the leadership of the Turkish tour guide, we visited Star Seizhuang Terrace, Double-door welcome guests, and Liuqi Pavilion.

In fact, this tour guide took us to the idea of drunkenness. He put us into Liuqi Pavilion and asked our members to take a small card with their own zodiac sign. I didn't take it because I knew there would be a trap. Unexpectedly, every member of the group got a small card. After the card, the tour guide asked us to sit down and listen to him talk about Tujia Tima culture, the Tujia Tima, an intangible cultural heritage that was once regarded as a "superstition". In fact, he is a Tujia wizard. Witchcraft would practice witchcraft. After a rough explanation, the tour guide asked each family to take their own small card to another room and Tima's "disciples would interpret it for everyone." In the whole group, our family did not take small cards, so the tour guide did not advise us too much because he knew that the income would be good this time. Unexpectedly, after the group members came out, I saw that everyone was not very happy. Because everyone was not familiar with it, communication was not smooth, but I knew that most of them paid 1000 yuan, and at least 100 yuan. After completing this tour guide task, we went back to our tour guide and got on the bus to Jinbianxi. I knew that this trip was absolutely unreasonable. Many scenic spots had not been visited (such as the Shili Gallery, etc.), but since we were traveling with the group, we decided to follow everything. It was the best arrangement. We only had to manage our own pockets for the group tour. When we arrived at Jinbianxi, the tour guide gave us fifty minutes of free activities, and he sat aside and waited for everyone.

The contract originally arranged for Zhangjiajie Forest Park to be a two-day trip, but this tour guide compressed it to one day. I vaguely felt that the time this kid saved was to save for shopping later.

D3：Tianmen Mountain Baofeng Lake

We arrived at Tianmen Mountain by car in the morning. On the first day, each of us handed over 623 yuan (all) for the small transportation and cable cars over the past few days to the tour guide. The money we paid to the travel agency did not include small transportation and cable cars. Just follow the guide and take the escalator

After taking the cable car to visit Tianmen Mountain, we only looked at Tianmen Cave from a distance, went up to the top of Tianmen Cave, and experienced the glass plank road. We did not go to other Tianmen temples, wing-mounted gliding platforms, etc.

The glass plank road I felt that the glass plank road was not as scary as others said. I was afraid of heights and walked over calmly. Don't be afraid, everyone, because this glass plank road is well protected and you can't fall off.

Baofeng Lake mainly has the location of Journey to the West Shuilian Cave and the Baby Fish Exhibition

D4: Shopping, Furong Town, Fenghuang Ancient City

The tour guide's key work has arrived. He went to two shopping spots in the morning. As soon as he got on the bus in the morning, the tour guide made every effort to introduce jade, jade and poverty in Zhangjiajie. There is an attitude towards whether to buy or not. In fact, every tourist has to pay a little. Arriving at the first jade shopping spot, the guide inside will introduce the products first, and then each group of families will have a guide to assist in shopping. I don't need it in my heart, but I know that I must leave some money when I arrive here. Otherwise, the tour guide behind the bus might have some unspoken words and spend a small amount of money to buy peace. I heard that I spent 400 yuan to buy a bracelet in the cheap area, which was considered consumption, and then waited for other members in the gathering area. You see, the tour guide was much more active at this time than in the scenic area. Following our members to help introduce us, he didn't even visit and introduce us in the scenic area. Jade shopping spots are his main business. If he could have so much energy in the scenic area, I would also firmly believe that Zhangjiajie's tourism prospects will be bright. If he did what he did, The Zhangjiajie Tourism Fair has the same bad reputation as Yunnan Tourism. We were able to come out after every family had done shopping. In the end, one family didn't buy anything, but the tour guide followed him and didn't gather and lead the team. I told this family to go to the cheap area to buy anything, so after the family shopped, we took a bus to the next specialty agricultural product point to continue shopping, where each of our families consumed some more. After getting on the bus, the tour guide shared jerky meat, dried fish and dried beans with each of us, and then said that this was a hard-earned commission from the driver's master. The driver was about 2000 yuan a month. It was not enough to support his family. He had to sell some local products from his hometown on the bus. It was a help to the driver and his hometown. In this way, everyone bought 5 bags for 300 yuan, and there were only two houses left that had not been bought. This included me. The tour guide came to me and asked how much to buy. He didn't say much and didn't force you, but he came here to directly remind you to buy some. Can you refuse it? Finally, I bought 2 bags of dried beans for 100 yuan. After everyone in the car was shopping, we arrived at the restaurant for lunch at about 1 p.m.. After eating, our team got on the bus and got a female tour guide. After a brief introduction, we rushed to Furong Town. The tour guide delayed more than half an hour when purchasing tickets, as if she was helping another tour guide and delayed some time.

We also hurried across the Great Falls, then lined up in a long line and took a boat back. We didn't visit the ancient town inside. We drove until 20 p.m. to Fenghuang Ancient City and arranged accommodation and free activities. We only stayed for this night to enjoy the ancient city. We also had to make our own dinner in the ancient city and have dinner and visit the brightly lit ancient city.

D5: Hangwurong Miao Village Tusi City Disrupted

Targeted poverty alleviation point. Since it is a poverty alleviation point, I spent more than 3000 yuan on silver jewelry here.

After visiting Tusi City, the group was dispersed on the spot. The drivers who needed it were responsible for sending it to the station. There were only two families in our group who needed it to be sent to the station, and other families had their own arrangements locally.

Take a bus from Zhangjiajie West Railway Station to Changsha, and arrange to stay at Shangkeyou Chain Hotel near the railway station in the evening. Since I have been to Changsha before and I am only accompanying my wife to visit Changsha, I will not describe the details in detail, but only record the day's route with pictures.

first stopI took the bus to the Hunan Province Museum. The queue was already long. The queue was lined up for about half an hour. The staff came to maintain order. I came forward to inquire what code to scan for a while. At this time, I heard that a tourist had reservations for Changsha Museum. The staff reminded me that it was not the Provincial Museum. I took the bus and didn't queue here. I quickly asked if I could enter without an appointment. The staff told me that I couldn't visit today without an appointment. Moreover, tickets for the past 5 days have been booked, and there are no tickets left. Good guy, the queue is in vain, evacuate quickly.

the second station, Yuelu Academy Aiwan Pavilion, take a bus to Hunan University Station and get off, walk to Yuelu Academy, walk to Aiwan Pavilion and then take Snack Pedestrian Street to get out.

the third stop: Orange Island

the fourth stopFrom 1913 to 1918, Mao Zedong studied in the eighth class of Hunan Provincial First Normal University. From the autumn of 1920 to the winter of 1921, the school hired Mao Zedong as the principal of the affiliated primary school and a Mandarin teacher at the normal school. During this period, Mao Zedong was secretly engaged in the work of founding the Communist Party of China and forming the Hunan District Committee of the Communist Party of China. This attraction is not open to the public, and now the city is a primary school

the fifth stop, Pozi Street (Huo Palace) Taiping Street

This is the record of the trip to Xiangxi. Before this, I imagined the beauty of the scenery of this trip, and drafted the name of the travel note as "Charming Xiangxi-Falling in Love with Zhangjiajie in 2022, Meeting Beauty in Summer Trip". However, since the travel agency arranged many attractions. Not brought, the name of the travel note does not need to fall in love with Zhangjiajie. I hope that the tourism market in Zhangjiajie will be standardized again so that people will still want to come, so that the local economy can be continuously stimulated.
