Zhangjiajie is a famous tourist city in western Hunan. It is located here, where China's first national forest park-Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. It consists of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Tianzishan Nature Reserve, Suoxiyu Nature Reserve, and Yangjiajie Four major scenic spots. Composition. This Wulingyuan Scenic Area has a rare canyon landform of quartz sandstone peaks and forests in the world, attracting many tourists every day to admire it. Zhangjiajie deserves its reputation for its magnificent and beautiful natural scenery!

Recommended 3-day trip to Zhangjiajie:
DAY1: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park + Shili Gallery + Yuanjiajie + Yangjiajie
DAY2: Baofeng Lake + Zhangjiajie Eternal Love
DAY3: Tianzi Mountain + Jinbianxi + Xibu Old Street

When visiting Wulingyuan, if you really don't know how to choose the itinerary, you can buy some one-day tours directly online and have a guide to follow and explain them. It will be easier. Because the forest park is really big, there are eco-friendly cars between scenic spots in the scenic area that can be used for free, and tickets are also valid for 4 days. If you can't finish it in a day or two, you can spend a few more days playing and watching.

Shili Gallery Scenic Area is generally the first attraction to visit Wulingyuan Scenic Area. It is located in Suoxiyu Scenic Area. This is a valley that is more than ten miles long. There are rich natural landscapes on both sides of the valley, and the walking between them seems to be in a painting. One way to visit Shili Gallery is to walk up and down, and the other is to take a small train in the scenic area. I suggest taking a train up the mountain and walking down the mountain. You can experience both. However, if you are friends with the group, most of them will go up and down the mountain by small trains.

One of the advantages of taking a small train is that there will be a voice explanation throughout the journey, which will tell you what attractions are in the corresponding direction. If you take a train, you must sit on the side close to the scenery, otherwise it will be difficult to take photos. It is still possible to simply watch and appreciate the scenery. Moreover, the top of the small train is a glass window that allows you to see the attractions directly in front of you.

Looking at natural wonders basically depends on the shape and imagination. There are various grotesque rocks in the Shili Gallery Scenic Area, forming more than 200 stone scenery shapes that resemble people, objects, birds and beasts, such as "Peacock Opening Screen","Medicine Picking Old Man","Birthday Star Welcoming Welcome","Tiger Roaring Sky", etc. are the most famous.

After seeing Shili Gallery, we went to Yuanjiajie. It is located in the north of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. It is a pearl inlaid in the core scenic spot of Wulingyuan. The scenic spots located here are the most unparalleled shocking in the world.

For example, the "world's first ladder"-Bailong Ladder, with a vertical height difference of 335 meters and a running height of 326 meters. It only takes more than one minute to go up the mountain from Xiaping. You can see a magical picture in the glass elevator. The picture is one of the top ten unique scenes in Zhangjiajie, the "Shenshen Gathering", also known as the "Forty-Eight Generals Rock". The stone pillars rise from the ground and are arranged in front of you, like a neat and majestic guard of honor, just like the name. It is so domineering and spectacular.

(You need to buy a ticket to take the elevator. The price is 72 yuan for one-way, 43 yuan for one-way discount, and 144 yuan for two-way tickets.)

In fact, wild macaques are often seen in the Zhangjiajie Scenic Area, but sometimes they are far away. I saw a macaque at the closest distance here. However, I was still afraid that she would come and snatch my things, so I staggered away.

After going up the mountain, most of you have to walk. Going east about 800 meters, there is a path winding south to reach an observation deck. This is the Ecstasy Platform. Looking around here, you can see thousands of scenes. The mountain peaks and stone pillars are like tables, chairs, buildings, and pavilions. Their shapes are strange and beyond words. It is said that because every time it starts to clear after rain, there will be light clouds and light fog around the canyon and rocks, like Qionglou and Jade Pavilion, which appear and disappear from time to time. When visitors come here, they are all obsessed with their souls and do not know where they live, so they are known as the "Ecstasy Platform".

Walking deeper into the scenic area, you will reach the "Nantian Pillar" set in "Avatar", standing in the canyon like an Optimus Prime! "Nantian Yizhu" is one of the "Three Thousand Extraordinary Peaks" in Zhangjiajie. It has an altitude of 1074 meters and a vertical height of about 150 meters. The vegetation on the top is lush, the peak body is unique in shape, and the vertical joints are cut clearly, like a knife slicing an axe. Standing tall in Zhangjiajie, it has the potential to stand against the sky, so it is also known as the Qiankun Pillar. On January 25, 2010, Zhangjiajie's "Nantian Yizhu"(also known as Qiankun Pillar) was officially renamed "Avatar" and "Hallelujah Mountain".

Finally, we saw another one of the top ten unique scenes in the Yuan family, the "No. 1 Bridge in the World". It is a natural stone bridge formed between two mountains. The bridge deck is two meters wide and four meters thick. It has a span of more than 20 meters and a height of more than 300 meters. It is the natural stone bridge with the highest drop found in the world so far. It was originally integrated with the two mountains, and the bridge body is the key part connecting the two mountains. However, because the stone in the middle is relatively weak, due to the influence of weathering and collapse, and after being exposed to sun and rain, washing by running water, and impact by mountain torrents, over time, it finally formed this special spectacle today.

After watching Yuanjiajie, we took a scenic bus to Yangjiajie. There were relatively few tourists here, but there was obviously one place that represented Yangjiajie and had more tourists, which was called the "Natural City Wall". This place is in a completely different shape from Zhangjiajie. When viewed horizontally, the wall looks like a spectacular ancient city wall, forming the natural Great Wall. It is said that the landscape here has been formed for 380 million years.

I came to Baofeng Lake to check in because it was close to where I lived, or maybe because I was from Jiangnan, I still liked places with water after seeing too much mountains.

Baofeng Lake is a lake-type natural scenic spot that combines natural mountains and rivers with humanities and folk customs in the Zhangjiajie landform. It is called the "World Lake Classic". You need to purchase a ticket to visit and a round-trip eco-car ticket to the scenic area. The ticket actually includes the ticket for a tour of Baofeng Lake. There will be local tour guides on the cruise ship, and they will ask tourists to directly call them Amei.

Taking a cruise ship not only allows you to enjoy the wonderful scenery of Baofeng Lake, but also allows you to integrate into the local folk customs. You can hear local elders and sisters singing folk songs. Two folk song duet points will be set up along the way by the lake. The tour guide will also let tourists sing folk songs with them to increase the fun of the game. If you can compare 3 songs with Amei or Age, you can take him/her home! However, taking photos is not very convenient to travel on a cruise ship, and it is still convenient to view many of the scenic spots explained directly.

There is also another scenic spot in Baofeng Lake. The exterior view of the Huaguoshan Shuilian Cave was photographed in the "Qifeng Flying Waterfall" in the TV series "Journey to the West".

After seeing the natural mountains and rivers, you still have to experience some humanities to deepen your love for Zhangjiajie. There is a must-see performance in Zhangjiajie in a lifetime, and that is Zhangjiajie's Eternal Love. Qiangu Qing Performance is directed by Huang Qiaoling and is a large-scale cultural performance under the Songcheng Group. Not only in Zhangjiajie, but also many cities such as Sanya, Lijiang, Hangzhou and other well-known tourist cities have launched the Eternal Love.

Zhangjiajie's eternal feelings are mainly divided into the preface "The Changing Sea and Mulberry Fields", the first scene "Wuling Wonderland", the second scene "The Legend of Tianzi Mountain", the third scene "Past Events in a Small Town", the fourth scene "Ma Sang Tree" and the end "Love in Xiangxi".

All the performances combine the local customs and customs of Zhangjiajie. Sometimes they enter the Wuling Wonderland, sometimes they see the small town of Xiangxi written by Shen Congwen. Occasionally, there are thrilling acrobatic performances. The scenes are unpredictable and full of surprises, and every performance The applause also lasted for a long time.

My favorite scene is "Past Events in a Small Town". I have always been curious about how the pool on the stage suddenly appeared and disappeared. The fair lady stood by the stream with an umbrella. The spring water of the river was so beautiful at a glance!

The scene of "Masang Tree" moved the world the most. It tells the story of men in western Hunan embarking on a revolutionary journey and dying heroically one after another. However, the Hunan women waiting so hard under the Masang tree turned into a desolate farewell.

The entire performance lasts for 1 hour. It is best to go to the toilet in advance to avoid missing some wonderful pictures while watching. There will be staff in the venue to help avoid danger.

Dayong Ancient Street and Taoyuan Secret Realm are the bustling market online. In addition to the characteristic snack and souvenir shops, actors dressed in folk customs and ancient costumes are very worthy of taking a group photo.

What else can I play in Zhangjiajie? In addition to the new rides here, what's interesting is the live interaction of some actors. For example, street flash shows, waving bonfires, toast recruitment, etc., the audience would be pulled together by the actors, and the atmosphere was once very high!

When visiting Zhangjiajie Ancient Love, you can check the program list for the day from official information one night in advance. There are a total of 3 performances a day, so you can choose the right time. My suggestion is to choose the last game in the evening. You can go and play in advance in the afternoon to see the special street flash mob, toast recruitment, water trapeze, etc., or you can relieve stress at outdoor amusement facilities. After watching the performance, we will experience the largest number of people and the most hilarious bonfire waving carnival to end today's trip!

Jinbianxi Scenic Area is a golden tourist area in Zhangjiajie. The stream twists and turns, is extremely quiet, and moves with the mountains. However, recently, it happens to be the time when the water volume is at its lowest, so what I see is basically a pile of stones, which makes me less interested.

In fact, we arrived at the lower reaches of the Jinbian River and saw the famous Jinbian Rock rising from the ground. This rock has a total height of more than 380 meters. The whole rock is made of quartz sand, which reflects shining golden light under the sunshine.

Xibu Old Street is a tourist and cultural district in Wulingyuan District, Zhangjiajie. It is located on the bank of the Suoxi River. It was restored from the ruins of the ancient Tujia people and has the experience of cultural performances and leisure tourism.

Xibu Street doesn't seem very long, but it takes a lot of time to really walk around completely. When I came here in the afternoon, I found that there were very few tourists. I wonder if they were all playing in the forest park. There are courtyards in the houses and streets in the courtyard. Shops of large and small fill the entire neighborhood.

As evening approaches, the number of tourists is gradually increasing. It should be time for meal, and many tourists come to enjoy the delicious food. There is a particularly famous local restaurant called Salamander Banquet, with a building area of 3000 square meters and can accommodate 1000 people at the same time. It is a new catering landmark in Zhangjiajie and a microcosm of national architectural culture.

After having dinner here, taking a look at the night view, I was ready to leave. The timing is also unfortunate. If it were a little later, there would be a free bonfire performance here at 9:30!
