DAY6: Fanjing Mountain-Chengdu


DAY1: Today, we took the train all the way from Chengdu to Zhangjiajie, and finished our holiday homework on the way. G8501, from Chengdu East to Chongqing North (the whole journey is 305 kilometers, 1:50 minutes), K4787, from Chongqing North to Zhangjiajie West (the whole journey is 590 kilometers, the green leather train is 6:17), it is already dark after arriving in Zhangjiajie. We tasted the local specialty food-three sauces, the ingredients are three independently selected ingredients (we chose pork tripe, fried pork slices and crisp bones), green and red dried peppers, onions, and potatoes are fried, and then the whole pot is served on the table. Not bad! (Hunan food is generally salty and spicy. If you are not used to it, you can tell the boss in advance. You can also choose dry pot or soup pot. We chose dry pot), the shop is called "Fu Zhengyi", which is recommended.



DAY2: Depart from Zhangjiajie City Hotel (Yongding District) at 7 a.m. to Zhangjiajie Scenic Area (Wulingyuan District). Enter the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon at nine o'clock. Start with the glass bridge. It is built above the canyon and is 270 meters away from the ground. Walking on the bridge made of glass materials, you can see a panoramic view, which makes people feel scared. We had the honor to witness the entire process of an uncle falling from the world's highest bungee jumping spot on the bridge. Awesome! After that, we experienced zip lines, slides, rock climbing, VR and cruise ships. The zip line in the air passes through a very thick iron rope from one end of the cliff to the other, which is very exciting. The slide is to slide down from the height of the canyon into a space similar to a slide track. Although it slides down from a relatively enclosed space, it is still very interesting to slide from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. The price of rock climbing is reasonable, 24 yuan per time, and I simulated a natural-like rock wall outdoors. For me, it was SO EASY! The prize for successful climbing is an outdoor riding hat. After reaching the bottom of the canyon, you can walk through a beautiful plank road and enjoy the scenery on both sides of the canyon by boat. It is very pleasant. There is a snack street coming out of the canyon. I ate the stinky tofu that I was longing for again. Although the taste is not as good as Changsha, it is not bad! In the afternoon, we went to Huanglong Cave. Although it is a typical karst rock landform and is famous, the karst caves are all similar. It is recommended that children who have visited the karst cave or not to go, and children who have not visited it can still go in and have a look. (Mom said there is a discount if you buy tickets in advance!), Huanglong Cave is very big and cool. There is a scenic spot inside and my sister explained the whole process. I saw the "Dinghai Godly Needle" insured by 100 million yuan inside. It is 19.2 meters, thick at both ends and thin in the middle, and grows on a collapsed slope. It is speculated that it has been growing for 200,000 years. It is six meters away from the top of the cave, and water is still dripping from the top, indicating that it is still growing. It is estimated that it will take 60,000 years to become "indomitable". Inside Huanglong Cave, you can take a boat to visit the karst cave on the Xiangshui River (the total length of the Xiangshui River is 2800 meters, and the tour part is 800 meters, 8 minutes). Everyone, remember not to put your hands into the river by boat. It is said that there are national second-class protected animals in Hanoi."Baby fish", they eat meat. Huanglong Cave came out and went back to the hotel to rest for a while. We had dinner at a local restaurant,"Cheap Restaurant". My mother and I ordered Sanxia Pot, Bandit Duck and Delicious Fungus. We felt that the taste had been adjusted to suit the tourists. The price was reasonable and the taste was average.


DAY3: We left the hotel at 8:30 and walked to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Enter the park, take an eco-friendly car for 20 minutes, and then turn to Tianzi Mountain cableway to Tianzi Mountain. Follow the scenic area to explain my sister's tour, and gain a lot. It was explained that my sister was a local Tujia. We not only visited the scenic spots, but also learned many interesting things about the Tujia people. The Tujia people are a nation with only language but no writing, and many stories are passed down from mouth to mouth. For example, when Tujia people step on shoes with different surnames, it is equivalent to proposing marriage. Tujia unmarried eldest brothers can step on the heels of their favorite Tujia sisters. If the other party steps on their eldest brothers 'toes, it means "consent". However, if the sisters wear black or gray shoes, it means that they have a target and cannot be stepped on. Be careful if you step on it, you will get beaten! In addition, I also learned many mysterious stories, such as crying to get married, chasing corpses, celebrating the New Year, etc. Children can come and understand them for themselves. Xia Tianzi Mountain continued to take an eco-friendly car for 40 minutes to reach Yuanjiajie. There is nothing delicious in the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, but there is a KFC where everyone can order meals on the APP in advance, which can save a lot of waiting time. My mother and I are like this. As soon as I entered the KFC, I took the meal under everyone's envious eyes. However, due to the large number of people in the restaurant, my mother and I had to finish the lunch standing. After lunch, we visited the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area and found the original shape of the floating mountain of "Avatar" near the Ecstasy Platform! Then we took an environmentally friendly car to reach the Bailong Ladder. Its vertical height difference is 335 meters and its running height is 326 meters. It uses three double-layer fully transparent sightseeing elevators to operate in parallel and in separate units. It was included in the Guinness World Records with the honor of "tallest outdoor elevator", but I think it's good to see it from the outside, but if I experience it myself, because the speed is too fast and there are too many people, I can't see anything at all, so I don't think it's necessary to spend dozens of yuan to experience it. Finally, we took an eco-friendly car again to the Shili Promenade, which was a way to experience Zhangjiajie's unique "peak forest" landform from another angle. If you don't have a big holiday, you can take a small train to tour, but if you encounter a lot of big dummies, it is recommended that you don't have to queue up to experience it, just walk around on your own feet. When we came out of Forest Park, we went to watch "Charming Xiangxi". The performance was rich in content and the standard was very good. I think it was better than "Hangzhou Most Remembering" that we went to Hangzhou during the summer vacation. I recommend it.

DAY4: we left Wulingyuan District early in the morning, returned to Yongding District, and visited Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park in the morning. Enter the mountain at 9 o'clock, the ropeway reached the top of the mountain, first took the west glass plank road, 60 meters wide, 5 meters wide, because built on the cliff steep wall, look down, although not as fun as the glass bridge the next day, but it is still very dangerous, timid children afraid of heights, please support the wall through. Then we visited Li Na's villa, which is Li Na singing "the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau". The villa is not luxurious. It is said that it is the house where Li Na once lived temporarily on the mountain for a month. There are some photos of Li Na living with the villagers in the mountain. It is said that Li Na has become a monk since she left Tianmen Mountain. Is it because she drank the "Peach Blossom Rain" near Tianmen Cave? We don't have an answer. Then we visited a section of "Ghost Valley Plank Road" at the southern end. The name "Ghost Valley Plank Road" comes from it because it is on the Ghost Valley Cave. Do you know Gui Guzi? Ghost Valley real name Wang Shuo, alias Wang Zen, is a legendary figure in the warring States period, it is said that his forehead four flesh moles, very ugly, become the image of a ghost. He calls himself Mr. Ghost Valley because he lives in seclusion in Yunmeng Mountain. His apprentices include Sun Bin, Pang Juan and so on. They are all very powerful people! Halfway through the mountain, we also saw the "Tongtian Avenue", which claims to have 99 bends with a total length of 10 kilometers, but the elevation has increased by more than a thousand meters. You can only think about how big a test this is for drivers. When we passed through the wishing Forest, my mother and I left expectations for the future. Then we went to the Davidia involucrata Garden. Davidia involucrata is a national first-class protected wild plant, a plant preserved by the glacier in the fourth season, known as the "living fossil" of the plant kingdom, and also the city tree of Zhangjiajie. Finally, we took several sections of escalators across the mountain to the Tianmen Cave, which was crushed and collapsed due to compression, and finally formed after hundreds of years. This cave is the three Kingdoms period Haoliangshan cliff roaring open, such as the door, the local people as auspicious, so renamed Tianmen Mountain. Today's weather is particularly sunny, we can clearly see the Tianmen Cave, but unfortunately we do not see the wing flight. I specially received 48 drops of "peach blossom rain" with my mouth at the bottom of the cave, because it is said that as long as I catch 48 drops of "peach blossom rain" with my mouth, I can be feathered into an immortal. My mother said that I was already a "half fairy", . My mother called me "half fairy" in the next few days, but I don't know if this is a compliment or a joke. We also met a little brother from Anhui and a little sister from Nanjing. We were so happy to talk and laugh all the way. My brother is also very responsible. Every time I take pictures of my mother and me, I take many pictures at one time, near, far, high and short. Anyway, taking photos in all directions makes us feel like a star. After leaving Tianmen Mountain, my mother and I got on the bus to the ancient city of Fenghuang. due to rest and traffic jams, it was almost 08:30 in the evening when we arrived in the ancient city of Phoenix. I put down my luggage and went to watch the performance "the appearance of the Phoenix". Compared with yesterday's performance, it was not at all the same level and was not very recommended. Finally, my mother and I wandered along the Tuojiang River in the ancient city. it was almost midnight, and the ancient city was still brightly lit and crowded. Don't people sleep here? The ancient cities on both sides of the strait loomed against the lights and dark curtain, and the melodious music and songs of Bar Street were heard in my ears, which was really interesting. If you are interested, you can rent a set of national costumes and go into the crowd to experience it.


DAY5: In the early morning, I filled my stomach with the famous local "yellow beef rice noodles" and bought a lot of his homemade ginger candies from the boss. They were really delicious. My mother and I walked to both sides of the ancient city again. The ancient city in the early morning is completely different from the ancient city last night. Under the blue sky, the appearance of the ancient city is clearly visible. I also clearly see the appearance of the hanging tower. I am very curious, why can't the wooden house supported by several wooden piles on both sides of the strait fall down or shake? At this time, the ancient city, running water, boats, small bridges, and towers were so peaceful, and the air was so fresh. Seeing a mother-in-law setting up a stall on the ground near the river in front, my mother walked over and bought me a silver chain and a pair of silver earrings. I heard my mother ask my mother-in-law,"Will it fade? Long time to fade?" Later, my mother said to take this kind of thing and play with it! I don't know what that means. But I think it's pretty and cheap, right? Finally, we went to visit the "Former Residence of Shen Congwen". In fact, I didn't know who Shen Congwen was, but after listening to my mother's introduction, I also learned about "Border Town", so I asked my mother to buy me a copy, so in the last two days, it accompanied me. I learned the story of a little girl named "Cuicui" and her grandfather, as well as a little yellow dog living in Border Town... After leaving Fenghuang Ancient City, we took a bus to Tongren, Guizhou. After arriving at Tongren Bus Station, I listened to my mother making a few phone calls, and an uncle came to pick us up. My mother said that we were going to Fanjing Mountain. The uncle driver loved chatting so much. He chatted with my mother all the way. I also tried my best to listen to the local language, such as buses, black cars, police, etc., which was very interesting. My mother quietly told me that because there were very few buses to Fanjing Mountain, many local people would ask such black car drivers to send them, so I watched "Border Town" on the bus and listened hard. Finally at four o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at Fanjing Mountain. The B & B we stayed in is ten minutes 'walk from the scenic area. There is a clear stream next to the B & B. In the evening, many children play here. My mother sat on a stone next to the stream and watched, so I went into the water and experienced it. Although I am a national third-level athlete, I have never swam in such a stream before. It was so enjoyable. After landing, I went back to my room to take a bath. My mother arranged dinner in the lobby of the B & B. By the time I went downstairs, the rice was already on the table. Fish in sour soup and stir-fried vegetables with bacon. It was great and tasted very good. I strongly recommend this B & B (Fanjingshan Ecological Park Restaurant), by the way, I would like to strongly remind everyone that tickets for Fanjingshan need to be booked in advance on the official public account, and reservations can be made three days in advance. Fanjingshan is located in Yinjiang, northeastern Guizhou, Songtao. The junction of Jiangkou, so entering from Jiangkou is the east gate, and entering from Yinjiang is the west gate. The two gates are far apart. Everyone must choose well when making reservations. Tickets on both sides cannot be used cross-over, so please don't make a mistake.(There will be fewer tourists entering the west gate, most of them hiking, and there is no cableway there). Also, there is a direct shuttle bus from Fenghuang to Fanjing Mountain, but it does not leave every day. You need to call in advance for consultation!

Day6: we had the breakfast carefully prepared by the hostel owner at 7: 00 in the morning, which was delicious and rich. Thank you very much. After breakfast, we set off for the east gate of Fanjing Mountain. Be sure to send your hair early! The sooner, the better! We booked the East Gate + sightseeing bus, ropeway round trip. Because the main scenery is on the way from the ropeway to the top of the mountain. In the 2020 travel list released by National Geographic, 23 places around the world are on the list, including one from China, the sky city of Fanjingshan. Not only that, Fanjing Mountain is also a national nature reserve, where many national rare species live, such as Guizhou golden monkey, clouded leopard and so on. Take a 20-minute sightseeing bus and a 20-minute ropeway into the mountain gate to get to the starting point of the hike. our plan today is Mushroom Stone-Hongyun Jinding-Lao Jinding. Along the way up the ladder, my mother and I walked relatively fast, surpassing many breathless companions. We have climbed Mount Huashan, Mount Emei, Mount Tai and Mount Huangshan on foot, and we still have strength. About half an hour to the mushroom stone. Mushroom stone is one of the landmark scenic spots in Guizhou, which is formed by the residual strata after weathering and erosion, which has been more than 1 billion years ago. Ah, although the National Day is limited, it is still overcrowded in front of the iconic scenic spots. I quickly took pictures and clocked in to escape. Unexpectedly, not far from the mushroom stone to the direction of Hongyun Jinding, the first right turned into the plank road to get a more beautiful scenery. Here we can clearly see the old Jinding covered by thick fog, a gust of wind blew, the thick fog was slowly blown away, revealing that the white temple on the top of the mountain looked particularly sacred against the blue sky, and the five-star red flag set up on the top of the temple was also fluttering in the wind, and then another thick fog blew in, and the old Jinding disappeared in this way. There were several pairs of strangers on the plank road at the same time. We chatted and waited together. When we saw that the beautiful scenery was about to appear, we cheered together. Here, my mother and I learned time-lapse photography with a grandfather, and the first operation was successful. Then we boarded the Hongyun Jinding and the old Jinding in turn. Hongyun Jinding, the essence of Fanjing Mountain, is the main peak of the Wuling Mountains, with an elevation of 2336 meters, with a vertical height difference of 94 meters from the foot of the peak to the top. It is known as the first peak in the world, and it is extremely steep. It needs to be pedal along the narrow stone chiseled from the cliff on the right side, with the help of iron chains. Hands and feet can climb up. A temple was built on each side of Jinding to worship Sakya Buddha and Maitreya Buddha at the same time. Lao Jinding is 2494 meters above sea level, which is the highest point that can be reached by visiting Fanjing Mountain. The high mountain is the man-made peak, looking far from the top of Lao Jin, and there are only continuous ridges and green mountains in front of us. The red clouds and golden tops rising not far away, and the rugged mushroom stone stone overlooking them all show another kind of beauty of Fanjing Mountain. At the top of the mountain is the Burning Lantern Hall, next to which there is a boulder, but it is not allowed to climb up, and the best scenic spot is the small platform on the other side, which is the sign-in point of the old Jinding, which can take a full picture of the Lighting Hall. After the tour, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we quickly went down the mountain by cable car and sightseeing bus. We rushed back to the hostel and ate the landlady's delicious food, especially thanks to the landlady. Finally, we got on the bus of our warm and talkative uncle to Tongren Station and boarded the G2971 train. The five-and-a-half-hour return time was enough for me to sort out my travel notes.

Beautiful and fulfilling journey, goodbye!
