I went to Zhangjiajie once many years ago, but it was a quick trip. This time, I finally had the opportunity to visit Zhangjiajie again during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. I have always felt that Zhangjiajie is a place that impressed me deeply, and this time I finally got my wish and took my wife with me.

I have recorded every detail of the past few days. If you watch it carefully, I guarantee that you can basically get up and stop asking anyone questions ~~~

Let's get straight to the theme. We checked the ticket and high-speed rail as soon as we determined the departure time. I booked a ticket from Zhengzhou Xinzheng Airport to Zhangjiajie Lotus Airport less than ten days before departure. We booked Hehua Airport, which took off after 9:00 a.m. on 2019.09.22 and arrived at around 11:00 a.m. Due to the change in time in the middle, the ticket was changed once, and the two of them paid more than 200 yuan. So make sure the time is fixed before you can buy a ticket.

Because we have always been too busy, and both of us have no special plans, we often go out and talk step by step. However, the most basic accommodation and transportation will still be arranged in advance. After all, this time is relatively close to National Day, so I want to at least buy the hotel and ticket first.

I bought the ticket based on the high-speed rail and the air ticket. The difference in booking that day was tens of yuan, and the difference in fuel costs with me was less than 100. So I decisively chose the air ticket.

The airport is relatively general, and there are many soliciting drivers outside. The prices are very cheap. They are mainly to introduce you tourist routes, and soliciting is secondary. When we arrived, the hotel owner was already waiting. The name of the hotel is Yishan Hanshe. The pictures on Ctrip look very good, but after all, the boss has to be allowed to take pictures ~~!

Speaking of Zhangjiajie, all friends who go should know that

Zhangjiajie is mainly divided into two attractions:

Tianmen Mountain in Yongding District and National Forest Park in Wulingyuan District of Zhangjiajie City

(The National Forest Park contains most of the major scenic spots: Huangshizhai, Yangjiajie, and Yuanjiajie. Yuanjiajie is also the attraction for Avatar.)

Let me talk about my overall plan first:

22nd-After arriving in the morning, go to the hotel to arrange your luggage, and then go to Tianmen Mountain for an afternoon after lunch.

No. 23-Continue to play at Tianmen in the morning and arrange another attraction in the afternoon (Huanglong Cave, Grand Canyon)

No. 24 and 25-in Wulingyuan Forest Park

Take a bus to Fenghuang Ancient City in the afternoon on the 25th

On the morning of the 26th, take a bus to the Huaihua City High-speed Railway Station and return to Zhengzhou

The above is the original plan. It is precisely because we didn't make strategies in advance that many plans after we went there are different from the actual situation.

Next, I will talk about a few places that need to be paid attention to.

22nd-After arriving in the morning, I went to the hotel to arrange my luggage, and went out to play in the afternoon after lunch. There was nothing wrong with this.

However, since I didn't make any strategies, I didn't know the situation of Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area. So I couldn't go.

Let me popularize the situation of Tianmen Mountain for everyone:

One of the main experiences of Tianmen Mountain is to hover on the winding mountain road by cable cars and buses.

Here's the point: There are three packages for tickets here:

Package A: Take the cable car and take the bus off.

Package B: Take the bus and take the cable car to get off.

Package C: Take the bus and take the bus off.

The prices of the three packages are scenic spot tickets + cable car money. The three packages are actually similar, both costing more than 200 points.

The limited limit for tickets is one day.

* I don't know if it's almost National Day, but tickets for the Best Route Package A have been sold out on the same day and the next day!!

We went there at noon, and the second-best plan B was at least 4 p.m. At that time, there was only Plan C.

This is really depressing!!!!

We bought Package B at 12:00 noon. We can't wait until 4:00 p.m. to go in and start playing. Then we should basically be out after playing for an hour.

I can't get the tickets I want for such a big attraction.

Therefore, when everyone goes to Tianmen Mountain, they must buy tickets for Package A online in advance!! That is, on the cableway, off the bus, and on the A line.

Of course, if you like another route, forget I said anything.

(We only learned after we entered that package A was basically booked in advance by local tour guides... Individual customers who didn't know could hardly buy it.)

(Also, there are many local scalpers at the ticket sales gate, who will say that you will add 50-100 per person to buy the B set meal at 4 p.m. and enter immediately in advance. Trust me, there's no need to buy it.)

Since I couldn't visit Tianmen Mountain, after contacting and consulting the hotel owner, I couldn't waste the afternoon. He recommended it, the "Tusi City" in the city and an ancient building in Tujia.

I spent the entire afternoon in that Tujia village. It was really boring. I made irresponsible remarks and finally wanted you to buy money, which was the same as going to the Miao village in Yunnan and Guizhou.

It was already past 5 o'clock in the afternoon when we left the stockade, and the hotel owner picked us up and picked us up the entire journey. This is worth praising. He drove to pick us up from the airport, went to attractions, and returned.

Pick us up back to the hotel. On the 22nd, the only thing I still have to look forward to is the real-life stage play "Tianmen Flying Fox" on Tianmen at night.

The performance starts at 7.30 and lasts for two hours. The location is just below Tianmen Cave on Tianmen Mountain.

Tickets can be bought at Ctrip, and the VIP seat the boss bought for us is 180. Live performance VIP is still very good.

After the performance in the evening, the boss was waiting for us outside early. Very dedicated.

Speaking of which, let me tell you something about accommodation in Tianmen Mountain. The urban area is not big, and it doesn't cost a few yuan to take a taxi anywhere.

As long as it is not a special peak season, you don't need to book a hotel in advance. After you arrive here, you can take a taxi directly to the entrance of Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area to find a place.

The entrance to the scenic spot is in the center of the city, and there are various hotels and hotels next to it.

I like to live in quieter folk customs and the like, so I found a more suburban place. But the boss only drove us there for 20 minutes.

There is another place to pay attention to. When you arrive in Zhangjiajie, almost everyone here will ask you, how is the trip going...

This is also a feature here ~~!

: I have been here for a few days. Where are you going? Have you bought tickets? Wait, wait. Everyone can make a travel plan, and everyone can make arrangements for you. Help you buy all your tickets...

I feel that if you make your own arrangements, you can just buy your tickets online. If you want to save trouble, ask the hotel owner to plan for you. Trust me, they will plan for you...

By the way,"Tianmen Flying Fox" is really good. I recommend it. After playing for a day, I put on a coat at night and it's a little chilly on the mountain at night. Let's go and watch a song and cry love story between Liu Hai and the Fox Fairy.

Look at the key points here === In fact, the most perfect part of the first day's itinerary is: book an early ticket, go directly to Tianmen Mountain after getting off the plane, and buy a package A in advance to go there.

Play slowly until 4:00 in the afternoon and go back to the hotel to rest, and watch the "Tianmen Flying Fox" at night. Perfect!!

No. 23: We asked our boss to book the next day's package B. We took the bus to the mountain at 11 a.m.. Although I took it again, I was still impressed by the bus driver's superb skills... impressed... impressed...

There are no special arrangements for the day, so you can just play slowly. Locals will tell you that Tianmen Mountain will be finished in three or four hours. I think it is a very quick play and soulless one.

After getting off the bus, I suggest you climb the 999-story stairs instead of building escalators.

One last thing about Tianmen Mountain is to change the ticket for the cableway down the mountain in advance!!!!

It's very poignant here. The cableway down the mountain is lined up according to the ticket exchange time.

For example: You arrived at the top of the mountain at three o'clock in the afternoon and are ready to take the cable car down the mountain at around four o'clock, so you have to go to the "Li Na Villa" to get your number now.

When you go to take the cable car until 4 o'clock, as long as you get your number, no matter how long the line is in front of you, you can take it directly!!!

On the contrary, if you wait until you are ready to go down the mountain before picking up the lift ticket, you will not be allowed to ride even if you are the first one in the queue.

This is really super bloody... Even if throttle control is used, this method is too low-level.

No. 24, Target: Forest Park

1. The gate of the Forest Park is the south gate, and Wulingyuan is at the east gate. Accommodation is all in the Wulingyuan area. (Wulingyuan Accommodation Area is just a small piece of the forest park)

Between the two, you can choose to take the scenic spot bus to convey it after entering the scenic spot. You can also take a taxi directly from the south gate to the Wulingyuan Residential Area. The entrance of Wulingyuan is called the "Sign Gate", which is the entrance of the East Gate Scenic Area. It takes half an hour to take a taxi, and the taxi price is 50 yuan.

2. Our luggage was checked directly from Tianmenshan Hotel to Wulingyuan Hotel by the boss. They all have this service there, which costs 20 yuan.

Because we had to enter from the south gate and couldn't bring luggage when climbing, we checked our luggage to the hotel in Wulingyuan, the east gate.

In this way, we took a bus directly from Tianmen Mountain to the south gate of Forest Park in the morning.

Because the tour route of the Forest Park is from south (Huangshizhai)-west (Yangjiajie)-center (Yuanjiajie)-north (Tianzi Mountain)-east (Wulingyuan exit)

Of course, if you enter from the East Gate of Wulingyuan, the route will need to be adjusted again. There are maps at the entrance of the scenic area, and the maps are still very clear. You just need to see how you plan it.

The area of the forest park is many times that of Tianmen Mountain, so traffic is increased, and tickets and accommodation for scenic spots are relatively stable.

Therefore, we don't have to worry about tickets and accommodation. We purchased the package tickets for the Forest Park Scenic Area and the Charming Xiangxi Performance in advance from Ctrip.

There are many local scalper guides at the entrance and outside the scenic area. Basically, it is 100-150 a day. They accompany you throughout the tour and give you some explanations. You can choose this according to your situation.

The three main attractions in the forest park: Yangjiajie, Yuanjiajie and Tianzishan all need to purchase separate cable car tickets, which seem to be 70.

The other few scenic spots are: Huangshi Village, Jinbianxi, and Shili Gallery. You can visit them according to your own schedule.

If you don't take the cable car, you'll just climb the mountain yourself. It takes about 4-6 hours to climb a mountain at a scenic spot. If you climb a mountain for one day, it will definitely not be enough.

We had to look at the map, so we found an older sister to be a tour guide. Her family was from the Yang family. We chose her because we had a good eye on her. We had a pleasant day with each other.

Her advantages: She took us several shortcuts and took two "special" channels when queuing, saving a lot of queuing time. The talk along the way was not bad, and I also said that I could visit her next time ~!

Disadvantages: After all, people are doing business, so they will walk relatively quickly and try their best to help you ride the cable car because it is too tiring to climb. About this, she didn't say that we were also riding the cable car. It's not really a shortcoming.

The first day was relatively fast. I took a taxi for 10 yuan in the evening and went to the theater to see "Charming Xiangxi" directed by Feng Xiaogang. I personally felt quite good. No spoilers. However, it is recommended to buy ordinary VIPs for theaters, but the super VIPs we bought are too bad.

It is worth noting that this ticket is divided into inner and outer venues. The inner venue is a formal performance, and after the performance, there are a few Jianghu artists randomly found to sell things to perform in the square. It only takes about 30 minutes in total. They are all like rocks smashed in their chests, like mountains of knives and mountains of flames.

On the first day, we leisurely visited Yangjiajie, Yuanjiajie, and Tianzi Mountain, all by cable cars. They gave up Huangshi Village and said there was nothing to see. I didn't read it.

On the 25th, we slept until we woke up naturally. We entered the scenic spot from Wulingyuan Hotel. We first went to the "Shili Gallery", then took a walk in Jinbianxi, and returned to the hotel at around 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

Because we booked a bus from Wulingyuan Bus Station-Fenghuang Ancient City at 2.30 p.m.

If you have enough time, you can visit every scenic spot in the forest park. In that case, it will take at least three or four days, and the most important thing is that you must be able to climb!!!

There is only this bus from Wulingyuan Bus Station-Fenghuang Gucheng Station that day. It's best to book in advance, you can book online.

Both Wulingyuan and Fenghuang Ancient City have only one bus station, so no matter what they are called North Railway Station or, there is actually only one bus station.

There are only cars returning from Phoenix, so you must first check the tickets from the car to other high-speed trains or airports. Phoenix tickets are very sufficient. Basically, when you take a bus to Fenghuang, the tour guide on the bus will definitely tell you about it.

You can book a bus ticket to leave from them, there is no problem.

Hotels in Wulingyuan complain that the service is really not as good as Tianmen Mountain. Maybe the hotel is close to the entrance of the scenic spot or the performance venue, and there is no pick-up service. But it doesn't feel good to have to walk or take a taxi by ourselves after driving for three to five minutes. In addition, the service attitude is also average, or the ones we encountered are not very good, so we cannot generalize. In terms of food, I searched around Wulingyuan but couldn't find anything delicious.

Warm reminder: Most of the tourists in Zhangjiajie are Koreans. If you want to go, do you want to learn a few words of Korean first? Maybe you can meet a Korean uncle or aunt...

We went to Phoenix on the 25th, and there were a lot of empty hotels in it.

Note: Phoenix does not need tickets now. Tickets are booked online for the former residences of some famous people in Phoenix!!!

Don't buy the wrong one if you are not interested!!! No tickets for Fenghuang Ancient City!! Say it again.

If it's not the peak season, it's okay to go and choose a hotel again. Of course, it's better to book early on National Day.

The main purpose of Fenghuang Ancient City is to see the night view. The prosperous area of Phoenix is marked by three bridges: Nanhuamen Bridge, Hongqiao Bridge and Fengqiao.

If you want to book a hotel online, call and find out which bridge you are at. However, the scenic spot in Phoenix is actually really small. As long as the place is not particularly remote, you can walk there in 20-30 minutes.

If you go around in the scenic area, you will be completely done in 1-2 hours.

We went on the 25th just to spend the night in Phoenix and see the night view. On the morning of the 26th, we got up early, sat on the balcony and watched the quiet two sides of the Taiwan Strait in the morning, and then walked to the bus to gather.

We took the bus to Huaihua South Railway Station, and then finally returned to Zhengzhou on the high-speed train.

This was the first time I wrote travel notes, but I didn't write well. It was basically a running account. It would be great if it could help friends who were preparing to go,

If not, just take it as a souvenir ~~~~

If there is anything you need to ask in particular, you are welcome to inquire ~~ I will know everything.

The first day of dinner at Tianmenshan Hotel was filmed ~~~

"Tianmen Fox Fairy" Forgive my mobile phone, but it couldn't be taken online

Shocking Panshan Road and Panshan Road Driver

I came here for this ~~~

The big sister wearing green clothes in front took us around the alley ~~ and also went to her friend who sold things. It's understandable.

I passed by Furong Town on my way to Fenghuang. Friends who have time can consider taking a detour.

The hotel in Phoenix is not bad ~~

Corner of the Phoenix in the morning ~~
