Since I canceled my trip to Macau due to Typhoon Mangosteen, I have always wanted to go out and relax to make up for the thousands of dollars I lost in Venetian room fees. There was a holiday in October, so I simply bought a ticket and went to Zhangjiajie, which I wanted to go to. I found that Zhangjiajie's tickets to Chongqing were cheap, so I increased my itinerary in Chongqing and started an eight-day self-struggle...

My itinerary partner is still the mother who is happier than I am when going out. I am responsible for making strategies and making various reservations, and she is responsible for opening up resources and reducing expenditure (buying, buying).

2018.10.10 the first day

I pay attention to the weather forecast a week in advance. Sometimes I feel that it is a very happy thing that the weather forecast is inaccurate. I keep reporting light rain, but I miss it. I took a bus to the airport on the morning of the 10th. This time, I tried to write in detail and marked the price I remembered. I took Junxiang Airlines at 10:10 a.m. and arrived in Zhangjiajie at 14:45 p.m.. The price was 1436 for two people. During this period, I stayed in Nanjing for an hour. After getting off the plane, I turned right out of the main entrance of the airport. After walking for about ten minutes, you will see a big intersection. There is a bus stop on your right, which seems to be called the Airport Police Station. You can take Bus 402 to Zhangjiajie City. I can't remember the 7/8 stop, which is 1 yuan per person. Because we didn't expect to take the bus, neither of us had any change. Later, we met a young lady at the station. I wanted to cash in on WeChat, but the young lady lent me 2 yuan directly. She was really a good person and made me feel full of anticipation for Zhangjiajie. Before getting on the bus, tell the driver that if you want to take a bus to Zhangjiajie Park, he will remind you to get off the bus when you arrive at the station. The people are very nice, and because this station is the second stop, there are very few people, so you don't have to worry about congestion.

After getting off the bus, you need to walk straight along a row of buildings. It took about twenty minutes. Turn right at the intersection and continue to walk along the roadside until you see the train station sign. The bus station is on the side of the train station. It is easy to recognize. I forgot to mention that the place where I get off on No. 402 is the ticket and bus place in Tianmen Mountain Park, which provides a lot of convenience for the day after tomorrow. Take a car from the car center to Wulingyuan for 14 yuan per person. Buy tickets in the car, cash, and you cannot use Alipay WeChat. You need to take an hour to get off the bus, see the scenery along the way, or get a nap.

The Zhangjiajie Eryatou Inn booked on Ctrip this time cost a total of 492 yuan including breakfast.

I have to say that Ctrip's evaluation is quite pertinent, and the time we came here has passed the peak of the National Day holiday, and the price is not high at all. The owner of the inn is very enthusiastic and answers all questions. The inn is more than ten minutes 'walk from the bus station, and less than ten minutes' walk from the scenic area. There is a cheap supermarket opposite. The place to eat in the morning is "Sanxia Pot in the Zhaizi" on the left side of the door. It is a very good small restaurant, and you can get a discount if you use your room card to order food. There is also a specialty supermarket a few doors away from this restaurant. The prices inside are very reasonable, and there is nothing particularly expensive about the specialties of the scenic area. Everything I bought when I left was settled here.

It's already 5:30 in the afternoon when we checked in. We haven't had a serious meal all day. Since we arrived in Zhangjiajie, we have seen Sanxia pots all over the street. I don't know what they are and I think they should be delicious. I went to Sanxia pot for the first meal. This meal is 159 yuan. After eating, I went back to the inn to sleep because I knew I would be very tired tomorrow.

2018.10.11 the next day

Because we were so excited, we woke up at 5:30 in the morning, so we waited anxiously and had a hearty breakfast in Zhangjiajie first. There are two sets to choose from for this breakfast. I have eaten rice noodles these days. After my mother ate pasta for a day, she also followed me to eat rice noodles in the next few days.

Although it is not the peak period of the National Day holiday, there are still many people, and there are many elderly people. I admire their strong bodies and they can climb mountains and walk easily. Buy tickets at Ctrip in advance for 600 yuan including the one-way cable car at Tianzi Mountain. Face the window on the right hand side of the main entrance to change tickets. After entering the main entrance of Wulingyuan, you can follow the crowd and queue up to take the scenic sightseeing bus. After reading countless strategies, I designed the route. It is to take the Bailong Tiantian up the mountain on the first day. The ticket price is 144 yuan for two people, walk to Yuanjiajie, then take the bus to Yangjiajie, visit Wulong Village, take the sightseeing bus to Tianzi Mountain, and finally take the cable car down the mountain to end the perfect day. Next, let's picture it…

The grandeur of the Hundred Dragons Ladder

There are many elite scenic spots in the Yuan Family Jie, as well as many tour guides. You can still hear the introduction of the tour guide when you stop and go, and you can also admire yourself there.

Yang Jiajie was about to give up. Considering that his mother's body would not be able to take it, who knew that she was lively and had no intention of being tired at all, she took a sightseeing bus to Yang Jiajie and took a trip to Wulong Village.

After leaving Wulong Village, I summed up an experience. There must be no fat people among the bandits in the past!

The grandeur of Tianbo Prefecture

When I arrived at Tianzi Mountain, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was just right, and the results were the best. However, I felt that some beautiful scenery were really not photographed, so I just wanted to watch it.

When I passed by Tianzi Mountain, I made kudzu crispy candies at 20 yuan per pack. I regretted not taking photos and even buying less. I never saw one made on the spot again, and I never bought such delicious kudzu crispy candies.

At the end of the day, I went everywhere I wanted to go. The weather was really good, the scenery was really beautiful, and my legs were really tired!

On the way back, we searched Zhangjiajie delicacies and said that there was straw hat noodles. We found a shop near the inn that had crayfish barbecue straw hat noodles. It was delicious by accident. It was not straw hat noodles, but barbecue, roasted yellow throat, this meal is 60 yuan! Eat and drink your fill and go home to sleep!

2018.10.12 the third day

I was still excited today, so I got up at 5:30 again. Except for no one, everything hurt. Yesterday, we arranged to climb the mountain. Today's itinerary was okay. It was basically a flat road. There was no danger and there was no need to get up and down. However, the whole journey was basically walking and there were no scenic spots sightseeing buses.

The route I designed is to take a bus to the gate of the Forest Park in the morning (we live near the gate of Wulingyuan). Take a car for 10 yuan per person and take it to the bus station. I still need to walk a bit to get to the gate of the scenic area. It takes about ten minutes. Here, I use my trembling experience to tell other friends that it is very cold at the gate of Forest Park in the morning. You can wear more or prepare a back wool shawl. If you really can't, they can be sold all over the street, but I don't know how much they cost.

After entering the house, we were a little aesthetically tired from climbing the mountain yesterday, so we gave up Huangshi Village and only walked Jinbian River. Finally, we walked to Shuihuan Simen, took a sightseeing bus to Shili Gallery, and took a small train to enter. It was 76 yuan for two people one way, walk out, and then take a sightseeing bus to the Wulingyuan sign gate to end the day's journey.

Introduction to Jinbianxi

It may be that the peak period is over, or the route is too long for the tour group to complete the journey. There are very few tourists throughout the journey. Sometimes it takes a long time to meet a person, but there are many animals.

This is the first time I met a group of monkeys. The monkeys in Zhangjiajie are much more civilized than the monkeys in Mount Emei. The monkeys in Mount Emei are bandits!

Walk slowly all the way, taking pictures while walking. When you are tired, sit down and rest, eat and drink, and then move on.

Along the way, you will often encounter wild little monkeys, which are more scattered and cuter than the ones you first saw when you entered Jinbian Creek.

Changshou Spring, drink in big gulps

After walking the ten-kilometer Jinbian River, I admired my mother's body. It turned out that I was the one who held her back.

Take a scenic sightseeing bus to the Ten Mile Promenade. It is recommended to take a small train to enter, because there will be explanations on the bus. Which place is like what stones look like, which you don't know if you walk. It doesn't matter if you can't see clearly, wait until you come out on the way back, take your time, and take photos to your heart's content.

Today's trip ended very early and finished at 3:30. I took a sightseeing bus to the gate of Wulingyuan and thought about the place where I ate kebabs yesterday. As a result, it was too early and the store was not open. It was not until after 5:00. We had to go back to the inn to take a shower. When we were ready, it was time. Tonight we ordered grilled pork belly. Oh, I ate 2 of them, 10 of them each. How delicious is it? From then on, no other places will eat grilled pork belly anymore, it is so delicious. This meal is 187 yuan!

After I was full, I went to the Dadahui Inn. I will return to Zhangjiajie City tomorrow morning and have to rest early tonight.

2018.10.13 the fourth day

It rained all night last night, and I was worried about whether it would be heavy today. Fortunately, I stopped when I woke up in the morning. I packed my luggage and checked out directly. After eating the last meal of rice noodles, I went to the bus station to get on the bus. The tickets on the bus were sold at Tianmen Mountain Ticket Office. Get off at the ticket office. It is 24 yuan for two people. The driver will park across the road, which is very convenient. It started to rain in Zhangjiajie City at this time, so we didn't need to wear raincoats. We checked our luggage at the check-in office first. Large luggage was 10 yuan each. They also bought the tickets in advance at Ctrip. 488 and two people need to use their ID cards to pick up the tickets on the self-service machine. Tianmen Mountain is sold in different time periods. There is any time period on the big screen to get on the train. Based on the time from Zhangjiajie Forest Park to the city, I booked the check-in from 9:00 to 10:00. The time is just right, and there are AB lines. You can choose from line A. Line A is a cable car up the mountain and a minibus down the mountain. Line B is a minibus up the mountain and a cable car down the mountain. When booking tickets, I was worried that the road would be rainy and slippery that day, so I chose Line B. According to the instructions, I lined up to take a minibus to the gate at the foot of Tianmen Mountain, then checked in, and then changed to a minibus in the scenic area to go up the mountain.

I have to say that these ninety-nine corners are really killing me. The driver's skills are simply too good. I sat in the co-driver's seat and was scared all the way. The driver was very calm because of the rain and the speed was fast. I couldn't capture the beautiful scenery of the corners, so I had to experience it myself.

Arriving at Tianmen Cave on Tianmen Mountain, the rain was already falling a little hard. Looking up, forget it, I'd better buy an elevator on site and take it, so I won't take the 999 stairs. The escalator in the lower section of Tianmen Gate is 64 yuan for two people. This escalator has won a grand prize. It is really amazing. I didn't take pictures. I just sat for a while until the end. Looking back, it was really difficult and amazing. I have no words.

Because we had enough time, we took the east line first and then the west line. We didn't go back and visited everything. I want to mention here that there are glass plank roads on the east line and west line. Because it rained, we couldn't see anything. Scenery, we only went to one glass plank road on the east line and needed to buy slippers for 10 yuan for two people.

Fortunately, he came early. By noon, the rain had no intention of stopping, and it began to fog. Later, he couldn't see the five meters ahead.

I accidentally discovered a pretty tree and took pictures

After walking so many places, this was the first time I had walked in the rain with my mother. It was also a kind of enjoyment. It wasn't raining much, so I walked slowly in my raincoat and chatted happily.

Because the plane is leaving for Chongqing at 7:00 p.m., I expect to leave from the Tianmenshan ticket office to the airport at 4 o'clock. At the entrance of the ticket office, there is a large specialty supermarket. I forget its name. Its main entrance is the 401 bus stop. It is very convenient. Be sure to distinguish. When you came out of the airport, you took the 402 bus, but now you need to take the 401 bus to the airport!

I arrived at the airport at five o'clock sharp, and was just fine. After checking in, I waited at the airport. They took the flight from Zhangjiajie to Chongqing by Jieyuan Airlines, 840 yuan for two people. I read a magazine and realized that it seemed to have only been opened this year. There are two flights every morning and evening, and there are two back and forth between Zhangjiajie and Chongqing.

At this point, our trip to Zhangjiajie is over. There was a lot of negative information on the Internet before, but being in Zhangjiajie is different from the one on the Internet. The people there are very simple and enthusiastic, and occasionally there are impatient scenic area staff. I only met one person, and I still told you the way, but my attitude will not be so kind, but it does not affect the beautiful image of Zhangjiajie in my heart. This is a place that I have been to and still want to go, with beautiful scenery, delicious food, and enthusiastic people.

Looking through the photos at the airport, time passed quickly, looking forward to the next trip to Chongqing...
