Due to changes in work arrangements, this travel plan was adjusted many times, which almost fell through. Fortunately, my husband and I finally took these few days of vacation and traveled successfully ~

The itinerary I designated before traveling is as follows, and the time period after I spent playing is also very different. The air tickets, hotels, and tickets are all booked from Ctrip, and the fees are uniformly announced at the end of the document.

luggage

Okay, let's enter the main text below ~

D1：

Buy water and rest in the hotel.

Due to the work schedule, I could only book a ticket for this time period. I arrived at the hotel late and couldn't do much. I bought half a box of water from a nearby supermarket. The price was quite reasonable, even much cheaper than the roadside in Nanjing.

For the first three nights, I stayed at Zhangjiajie Qinghe Jinjiang International Hotel. The rooms were large, fully equipped, and the experience was excellent. A five-star hotel also deserves five-star praise.

D2: Hundred Dragons Ladder-Yuanjiajie-Yangjiajie-Tianzi Mountain; Charming Xiangxi

The mountains in Zhangjiajie are very characteristic. They are all pestled there one by one, so there may be no natural option for hiking on foot (it seems that you can climb on foot in Huangshizhai). There is either an elevator or a cableway up the mountain. The cost of cableways, elevators, and small trains is not included in the ticket. There are free eco-friendly vehicles all over the mountain and down the mountain that can take you from one attraction to another, but... I feel carsick o()o... Especially with the eighteen winding terrain of the mountain road, I have been in a state of confrontation between psychological pleasure (beautiful scenery) and physical discomfort (motion sickness) throughout the day.

The White Dragon Ladder is a very large landscape elevator. It looks spectacular from the outside, but it actually feels good to sit in. It reaches the top in an instant. Friends who want to see the scenery must rush to the front when waiting for the elevator and hold on to the glass. The view is better ~(I won't put any pictures here, there are many pictures of the White Dragon Ladder online)

Yuan Jiajie... Uh... How to put it, the scenery is indeed beautiful. You can see the top-heavy mountains standing there one by one on each observation deck, but after looking for a long time... Maybe the weather was too sunny that day, there were no big trees to shade the scenery on the mountain, and I was still unconscious, so I really became tired aesthetically... In fact, before I came to travel, I was worried about the large temperature difference between the bottom of the mountain and the top, so I even prepared a coat. As a result, after going up the mountain, I found that I couldn't use it at all. The sunshine was so good that my friends who come to travel in summer must do a good job in sunblock and sunstroke prevention ~

Oh, by the way, there is also a tip ~ Except that you don't have to bring a lot of food and drink. The food prices in the scenic area are quite reasonable. There is a tourist service center where Yuan Jiajie rides. The things inside are cheaper than small shops outside (for example, instant noodles are 10 yuan, and KFC is 6.5 yuan). The price is even lower than the airport.

This side of the Yang Family Realm... Uh... If I didn't take the cableway, there was actually nothing to see. Many places were sealed off, probably under development. Then, according to the itinerary I had previously set, I could just take a look at the scenery here. The scenery was actually similar.

Tianzi Mountain…The scenery remains... Almost ε=(´ο`*)) Alas... The main thing is, it may be that the eco-friendly vehicles traveled too far, too devastating, and too dizzy on the road from Yangjiajie to Tianzi Mountain... Or maybe I really lack imagination. Fairy laying flowers and fairy spreading flowers, I really... I can't tell the difference o()o, it's still beautiful, but if it weren't so hot that day or my vestibular system weren't so sensitive, my experience would have been more pleasant...

Due to the epidemic, the number of tourists here has dropped by nearly 70%. We didn't queue up no matter where we went all day. It was quite pleasant, especially when we took the cableway down here on Tianzi Mountain. The two of us made a room for eight people. It's like VIP treatment ~

I won't put pictures here ~ The scenery taken in the box is definitely not as beautiful as it is seen with my own eyes ~~

After going down the mountain, we ate at a high-rated restaurant at the entrance of the scenic area called Xiangxi Food Store (or Xiangxi Food Store? I can't remember it clearly), I really sigh again that the things here are really, really not expensive ~ It may be because there were fewer tourists, so we bought a set meal with clear water fish and side dishes, as well as a stone pot tofu. The taste is really great, the fish is very delicious, and the tofu is surprisingly tender and tender ~ Their family's service attitude is also very good. When I told them that I couldn't eat spicy food, I was prepared to be educated. As a result, they really didn't say anything, not even put in any spicy food. When a spicy dish is forcibly required not to be spicy, the taste really depends entirely on the ingredients and chef's skills. Facts prove that it is really great ~ Five-star praise ~

There are no store maps here, just search for them yourself ~

Watching the performance at night: Charming Xiangxi

Great!

The performances are mainly song and dance shows of various ethnic groups, interspersed with acrobatic performances, etc. Among them, the most eye-catching thing should be the pursuit of corpses in Xiangxi. I didn't know anything about this before, but when I looked at the name, I thought it was Wei Wuxian's method to get corpses to fight or do something else, or it may have been like this, but this performance explains this custom very well, which is very shocking and touching. I won't spoil the details. I suggest everyone watch it on the spot. People like me, who have a slight hometown complex, were actually blown to tears. I was the only one around crying, it was so embarrassing||。。。

D3: Shili Gallery-Jinbian Creek-Huangshizhai Zhangjiajie Eternal Love

Say important things three times:

Don't walk like this!

Don't walk like this!

Don't walk like this!

Sure enough, it's best not to change orz to the official recommended scenic spots. People suggest entering from the entrance of Forest Park, and then exiting from Huangshizhai-Jinbianxi-Shili Galleries-Wulingyuan entrance. Since our hotel is at the entrance of Wulingyuan, I took it for granted that I thought it was not the same to go the other way, so I was smart enough to go the other way... Then it was tragic, because the eco-friendly vehicles from Huangshizhai to Jinbianxi (water around four doors) were one-way! If you follow my method, you will have to walk the entire journey from Jinbianxi to Huangshizhai (about 7:00 kilometers, estimated to be 2 hours. If you have enough time, you can consider it. Pay attention to the running time of Huangshizhai cableway)! Later, I took an eco-friendly car from Shuiaosimen to Zimugang, then took a private car to the entrance of the Forest Park, and then went to Huangshi Village Orz. It cost an extra 80 yuan, but it was still worth it.

On the side of Jinbian River (water surrounds the four gates), we can't say how good the scenery is. The key is that it is comfortable. There are mountains, trees and water. As long as there is water, the mountains will live. In addition, it rained that day. The whole environment is still very cool and moist ~

The day before, my husband had been talking about monkeys all day, but he didn't see a single one. As a result, we spent the entire day with monkeys ~

Monkeys on different mountains have different personalities. The monkeys on this side of Jinbian River are very polite and never grab it. They only pick it up when you give it, but... Human cubs should still be careful and try not to be alone. If they are alone, they should never hold food in their hands. They will still "politely" chase after them o(□)o. It is recommended that friends who come here bring their own peanuts, red dates, peaches and so on. Feeding the monkeys here is quite interesting and relatively safe.

This is a left-handed book (mobile phone) right-handed torch (Starbucks) cos I of the Statue of Liberty (*^TRAN ^*)

Huangshi Village contributed the first round of adventure of my trip-being blocked by monkeys o(□)o

Before coming here, the conductor and local people repeatedly emphasized to me that the monkeys in Huangshi Village are not as polite as the monkeys in Jinbianxi, and they have become even more fierce due to the decrease in tourists.

Facts have proved... It's true o()o... The monkey here is really proactive, his eyes are focused and alert. After we went up the mountain, we wanted to walk around the Great Ring Village on the top of the mountain. Due to the lack of people, my husband and I walked slowly on the path in the forest at first. When we reached each observation deck, we stopped to have a look. The temperature was right, the scenery was pleasant, and the mood was relaxed. It was still very happy until... We are facing a monkey!! It won't let us pass??!!

Several times we wanted to walk past it as if nothing had happened, but when we got close to it, we actually put on an attacking posture?!! How can I walk forward like nothing happened??

We failed several times (mainly because I couldn't make it, but my husband was quite calm), so we had to turn around, and then it... It followed us all the way o()o... We were actually chased all the way back to the origin by a monkey orz...

My husband later analyzed it to me, and actually don't have to be afraid. Why is it attacking you? It just wants to see if you have anything to eat. Just spread your hands and walk forward. Think about it carefully, the monkey was originally following a little girl who was walking towards her. It was surrounded by the little girl's feet. The little girl still smiled brightly and helplessly. Her expression was as if she was looking at her own cat and dog. Maybe she was quite happy to have a monkey to accompany her along the way. However, I subconsciously felt that it might hurt me, so I automatically entered a defensive state. Any subsequent behavior would be interpreted as aggressive.

Only when I wrote this did I realize... I seem to miss ten miles of the gallery...

Uh... Because there's really nothing to say... Beauty is beauty... But it really doesn't have anything special. There is a small train there, and friends who have time can walk back and forth. There is a Monkey Mountain inside. That day, because it was the first time I came into contact with so many monkeys so close, they were all so polite. I had an impression, but later my impression was overshadowed by the monkey in Huangshi Village who insisted on following us all the way. orz...

At night, Zhangjiajie is in eternal love...

There are two well-known local performances, one is Charming Xiangxi and the other is Eternal Love. Since I have seen both of them, I think I am qualified to evaluate them from the perspective of personal preferences...

If you have five points of charm in Xiangxi, you will have one and a half points of love through the ages...

One for visual effects, and half for conscientious catering in the scenic area.

However, friends who have brought children can still consider seeing the experience of the ages. After all, the visual effects are cool, and there are also some games such as flash flashing and splashing water in the scenic area. But this performance, I personally feel... Borrowing a comment from a netizen on the Internet,"You can't even shoot a whole story of Shen Congwen's ready-made" Border Town "" orz... Could you consider hiring a screenwriter? Note that we just hire a "screenwriter", not a "better screenwriter", not a "better screenwriter". I just ask you to at least hire a "screenwriter". If I wasn't careful about the costumes, scenes and stories inside, I would think it happened in Jiangnan water town orz.

D4: Grand Canyon, Huanglong Cave

Grand Canyon:

I have to say that when you come to this place, you'd better bring your husband/friend who is afraid of heights (*^℉ ^*)~ The fun can almost double ~

Needless to say about the glass bridge ~~ Various interesting pictures and videos on the Internet have become reality because of my husband's existence ~ Afterwards, he said that he was able to walk through the glass bridge and later the glass plank road entirely through his powerful thoughts O(④_④)O haha ~

But since he spent all his energy on walking, he really didn't take many photos. He took these photos for me almost with his eyes closed, so he didn't care about light framing or anything like that o(□)o

After walking the glass bridge, there was also a zip line event. I honestly didn't force my husband to play with me ~ Friends who are not afraid of heights recommend it to try it ~ It's just to use a zip line to slide you from this side of the glass bridge to the other side. On the other side, the scenery is very beautiful, and people are like flying in the air. They are very happy ~

Next, after my husband and I met at the bottom of the canyon, we were going to take a boat out of the scenic area, but... I really didn't expect to walk for so long, orz... It's been a really long time. o()o~~ It's still a single way. There's no turning back. I have to walk ~ I almost lose my sense of time when I walk back (maybe it wasn't that long, but it was really tiring that day). Fortunately, as long as it wasn't working at height, my husband obviously recovered from the crash state. Walking here was tiring, and the photos he took were still very beautiful, literally green mountains and clear waters ~

Huanglong cave

As the Grand Canyon took a lot more time than expected, it was almost time for people to stop entering the park after arriving at Huanglong Cave and finishing their meal.

It is very considerate here. Tourists enter in teams one by one. The scenic area has equipped everyone with a wireless headset. Each team is led by a young lady to explain the way. The temperature in the cave was very low, and the little sister's explanation was also very interesting. The journey of more than an hour ended unknowingly.

The interesting thing about the cave is that the stalactites inside are dripping water. You know that it is growing at an invisible rate, one centimeter in a hundred years. No matter how the outside world is changing, it grows quietly until one day it connects with the stalagmite on the ground. I just thought about it, the ordinary stone actually gives me a sense of flow of life.

Uh... Fantasy is fantasy, but you know... The scenery of the cave will be very low once you take a photo with your mobile phone, so I won't take the photo o(□)o...

D5: Tianmen Mountain

For my husband, these few days of travel are simply a game of increasing difficulty ~~

Because the next day, one-way cableway

Day 3 Two-way cableway

Day 4 Glass Bridge Glass Plank Road

Day 5 Two-way cableway + glass plank road

o(*￣︶￣*)o~~~

Through this trip, he made it clear that he might really be a little afraid of heights (*^℉ ^*)~

The result of taking pictures with your eyes closed is... Guess who he's filming orz...

Since it is Saturday, there are still many people, and the temperature at the bottom of the mountain is very high, but the mountain is always shrouded in fog and it is very comfortable. The scenery is still different from that in Zhangjiajie Forest Park. It is recommended for friends visiting Zhangjiajie to visit both places. Try it ~

As for the 999 steps down the mountain, we finally took the escalator down because we had to catch a plane in the afternoon. When we got to the bottom, we found that someone was really climbing up from the bottom. It was really respect~

Okay ~ It's over ~

Zhangjiajie is really worth a visit. The locations to visit this time include Zhangjiajie Forest Park, Tianmenshan Forest Park, Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, and Huanglong Cave. It is a check-in to several famous spots ~ There are also more famous local performances: Charming Xiangxi and Eternal Love, no matter whether the performance is good or not, it is always a experience ~

Over at the Forest Park, on the mountain route in summer (Yuanjiajie-Yangjiajie-Tianzi Mountain), you should pay attention to heatstroke prevention. It's really sunburn. If necessary, you should bring your own medicine for motion sickness (my husband never gets motion sickness and rides on the mountain road there. It's uncomfortable), otherwise the physical discomfort will really affect the viewing; because of the mountains, water and monkeys in the area of Jinbian River and Huangshizhai, the overall experience is better, so I recommend it.

The Grand Canyon is also very recommended, especially if you have children or a partner/friend who is afraid of heights (*^℉ ^*)~ There are many activities to play, but you must be mentally prepared to walk a long way at the bottom of the Canyon ~

Huanglong Cave is average. Compared with the previous cave, it is actually nothing very special. However, because it was almost faint from the heat outside at that time, it was still very comfortable after entering the cave.

Recommended by Tianmen Mountain! It is very considerate over there. Whether you are going up or down the stairs, you have a choice. You can go if you want to, and there is an escalator or cableway if you don't want to go. The glass plank road diverges a road for you. If you want to go, you don't have to drag people by force if you don't want to go. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and there is always a bit of fairy air ~

The overall feeling is that Zhangjiajie is really a tourist city. Both the shops and ordinary residents here treat you as a guest. They treat you with a very good attitude and have an excellent experience. The prices of various charging items in the scenic area are also quite appropriate. In terms of catering, if you can find a discount package, the value is still good ~

But there is really no good local food... It still depends on the chef... In the past few days there, only the Xiangxi food stall has excellent taste. Other stores can only say that its attitude is very good, but the taste is real. Um...

Finally, it's expenses ~~

Air tickets, hotels, tickets, catering, taxis, souvenirs, etc. are all included, totaling 6,107.5 yuan ~

Hotel:

Zhangjiajie Qinghe Jinjiang International Hotel *3+ Zhangjiajie West Hotel *1 ¥1062

Round trip ticket for two ¥1624

Tickets (including performance tickets) ¥ 1,296

Food, taxi, souvenirs, etc. ¥2125.5

It should be mentioned here that because one of us is a medical staff member, we saved half of the ticket money (the performance is not free), which is almost a thousand less.

In addition, he praised the Ctrip store by name (I couldn't see which store it was). He booked the ticket for an attraction for me at the wrong time. He asked me to rebook it on the spot and refund it in full. He also made up a big red envelope ~ Thanks ~
