Meet Hunan and spend three days watching the thousand-year relationship
I have been on the road for some time recently. Because I am lazy and busy, I haven't left much meaningful content. Recently, I have started to organize the previous materials and prepare to use my own light and enthusiasm. Hahaha. A few days ago, I drove Hunan with my friends in a hurry. I drove Changsha, Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang in three days. This was the second time I set foot on Hunan land, and it brought me different joy.

Looking down on the magical building in the sky above an international metropolis, for those who don't understand the structure, they can only praise it. It's beautiful!
The lines of the overall building also show the beauty of the building
The first building of Changsha Damei Cube is also a must-check-in Internet celebrity spot, which almost caused a dispute here
We had been traveling on a poor basis, but we were not willing to buy a ticket to enter the Grand Canyon. We could only fly a plane and have a brief look.
What fascinated me the most this time was the stage play in Zhangjiajie's Ancient Love Scenic Area. The dreamy opening seemed to put people in the ancient sea
Dancers with graceful figures are interpreting intoxicating stories
A beautiful woman with flowing water, a moon hanging high in the sky, and a fisherman punting a boat in the rain. A beautiful picture is just presented in front of you
The stage effect of the entire performance was really beautiful
Lighting is naturally also the criterion for consideration on the stage. Advanced lighting will set off the atmosphere of the entire stage play.
Overlooking Fenghuang Ancient Town and tasting the life of the ancient town
The night view of the ancient town is an intriguing scenery
[Trip] DAY 1 Changchun-Changsha-Zhangjiajie
DAY 2 Zhangjiajie
DAY 3 Zhangjiajie-Phoenix
DAY 4 Phoenix-Changsha-Changchun
Listening to the alarm clock ringing and breaking the tranquility of the morning and the dream of not wanting to stop, the journey began. The morning flight flew from Changchun to Changsha, met with teammates, rented a car, and picked up the car and started checking in without eating or drinking.
It's really hot in Hunan in September. When our hometown was preparing to change into autumn clothes and put on long sleeves, the sun here didn't give any face. I couldn't wait to lie in the ice water immediately to get rid of the high temperature that made people sweat. As soon as I left the mall, I was so hot that I cried in the storm that I cried.
But I can't help but look, right? Braving the scorching sun, I walked out of the life-saving air-conditioned room and embraced the art center in the high temperature of 37 degrees. It is said that the entire art center consists of nine exhibition halls, and what you see in front of you is a huge whale. The front half of the exhibition hall looks like the face of a blue whale. Other buildings also have different styles
In fact, when you see the architectural style of Changsha Meixi Lake International Art Center, you should naturally think of Zaha Hadid, the great female designer. If you have seen or learned about Beijing Galaxy Soho, Beijing Daxing Airport and Nanjing Poly Theater, you will definitely think that these buildings should be designed by the same person. This great female designer has dedicated her life to the art of architecture. Their unique style is indeed deeply imprinted in people's hearts and has successfully become a landmark in every city.
In fact, the structural details of the Meixi Lake Art Center are very similar to Nanjing Poly Theater. The white checkered blocks, interesting arcs and glass windows in the checkered squares all have the same shadow. I wonder if the master was designing the building. Did he have his own formula?
Many times this kind of building will have different feelings when viewed from different angles. The moment the drone takes off, it will start to marvel at the wisdom and mind of human beings. Of course, only a few people. Such an artistic building really does not just have a brain hole. It can be completed
Although the weather was a little foggy on the day we arrived in Changsha, it did not affect our mood to venture around at all. However, after staying outside for an hour, we were finally defeated by the high temperature and retreated into the air-conditioned emergency room of the mall to give ourselves a chance to save ourselves. After eating a D Q and recovering half a tube of blood, we started to set off for our next destination
The second destination is still a magical building called the Dami Cube. From the outside, this building looks like an ordinary apartment building, and it is even a little dilapidated. When you enter the apartment, you will be stopped by the security guard and asked what you are doing. Taking photos is not allowed. It is discovered that there will be a 100 fine. My friends and I went upstairs to find friends without hesitation. I was instantly discovered by the uncle and he said in Hunan dialect,"You say you are looking for friends, but you are here to take photos. I know it. If you catch it, you will be fined 100 "and then you will let us go. It was really spectacular when I went to the top floor. I took a few pictures with my mobile phone. I was not very satisfied. I found a dead corner of the surveillance camera and took one picture. I heard my uncle roaring on the next floor. Sure enough, the whole building was under my control.
In fact, today's trip is quite magical. The themes of the three points are that the buildings are not specially designated. They are all looking at the more magical buildings in Changsha. It is also fate. Xie Zilong Image Art Museum is closed on Monday, so few people come to visit, which just provides us with a quiet space. There is no wind in the day, the water is calm, and the buildings are reflected in the water.
Colorful koi are swimming in the artificial lake in the museum, and they are free and happy. The temperature in the water must be much better than outside.
Xie Zilong Image Art Museum aims to "collect Chinese image history","promote image art culture", and provide image art services to the public. In accordance with the trinity collection model of "encouraging donations, honorary collections, and paid acquisitions", we will systematically collect early Chinese historical images, classic image albums, early imaging equipment, and contemporary image works. Because the museum was closed, I couldn't enter the museum to visit it as I wished. In fact, Xie Zilong Image Art Museum is very suitable for taking portraits. However, this time I didn't bring a model, so I took a few simple photos for my friends
After finishing his trip to Xie Zilong Art Museum, I will go to Zhangjiajie
On the first night in Zhangjiajie, I chose the Internet celebrity B & B Fuxi No. 21. The environment is undeniable.
The interior decoration is retro, mostly based on wooden furniture, and most of the rooms are queen beds.
Sitting here is a good place to relax and relax
There is also a special tea room in the B & B for guests to sip tea and chat.
The first stop to get off early was the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, but my friend and I were both Buddhist travelers. We didn't even read the guide when we went out. We didn't know that the glass bridge needed to book tickets in advance. Many ticket sellers at the entrance of the scenic area only sold coupons. Later, I looked at my budget and gave up the idea of entering the scenic area.
Although we didn't walk in, we still cleverly drove the car to the nearby empty parking lot and put up the plane in the sky to see the panoramic view of the bridge. It was also quite spectacular. The canyon is lush and lush. Compared to the huge canyon, the people on the glass bridge are like little ants climbing over. The power of nature is magical, and humans are also skilled craftsmen.
After coming down from the winding road of the Grand Canyon, I passed a viewing platform, the Jigongya Observation Platform. Because there was no planned trip to the forest park this time, I could see the cliff here at Jigongya. A stream gurgled past the cliff. There were old people sitting quietly by the stream and fishing, and countless butterflies dancing on the lake. Unfortunately, the butterflies were not photographed on the observation deck.
Because I have to go to Zhangjiajie in the afternoon, I still have to make good use of my time in the morning. I saw Yuan Renyuan's former residence on the map and drove into a mountain path. There were freshly cut straw in the path. It looked like scarecrows when tied.
The former residence of proletarian revolutionary Yuan Renyuan gave people a solemn feeling on the first day of entry
The former residence displays objects and transcripts used by Yuan Renyuan in the past
There is a grapefruit tree planted in front of the former residence. By the end of October, the grapefruit will be ripe soon
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, enter the Zhangjiajie Ancient Love Scenic Area to start today's important journey. The majestic statue of the goddess at the entrance of the scenic area quietly looks ahead. The totems of birds and beasts stand on both sides, adding a touch of mystery to the scenic area.
As soon as you entered the scenic area and walked through Dayong Ancient Street, you saw a program with working actors interacting with tourists, bonfire waving and dancing, giving every tourist a sense of participation.
There are also many ancient statues in the scenic area, as well as mysterious haunted houses to explore.
"Eternal Love" is a series produced by Song Cheng Performing Arts and directed by Huang Qiaoling. Every city and every ancient love interprets local cultural legends and earth-moving stories. At present, the thousands of emotions staged across the country include the eternal feelings in Foshan, the eternal feelings in Xitang, the eternal feelings in Yellow Emperor, the eternal feelings in Shanghai, the eternal feelings in Xi'an, the eternal feelings in Bright Moon, the eternal feelings in Tanhe, the eternal feelings in Guilin, the eternal feelings in Jiuzhai, the eternal feelings in Lijiang, the eternal feelings in Sanya, the eternal feelings in Songcheng and the eternal feelings in Zhangjiajie, which we see this time.
The most important thing in the Qiangu Qing Scenic Area is the Qiangu Qing stage drama. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we entered on time and began to wait for the performance to start. As the music sounded, Zhangjiajie's hundreds of millions of years of history began to be interpreted, from the changes of the earth's crust to the sinking of the ocean. The dreamy light effects give people the feeling of being in it, and with the dance of water bubbles, here are changing scenes as if happening around them, making people unable to extricate themselves
The fire of mankind was gradually grasped, and the beginning of civilization came like this. The historical changes of the vicissitudes of the world, and the wonderful pictures were perfectly presented on the stage.
The beautiful scenery of "Wuling Wonderland" relies on the fairyland atmosphere of the stage and the gentle interpretation of the actors. It presents the dream of the mountains and rivers of Wuling Wonderland and supports the magic of this otherworldly paradise to the world. Therefore, Tao Yuanming suddenly meets the peach blossom forest and crosses the bank. Hundreds of steps away, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the grass is delicious, and the fallen trees are colorful. The appearance of this Peach Blossom Land in this world also allows the world to achieve its wish
The second half of Wuling Wonderland is Korean songs and dances. Legend has it that Koreans regard Zhangjiajie as a sacred place, so there are a lot of Koreans who come here for pilgrimage.
"The Legend of Tianzi Mountain" tells the story that in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, the Tusi King in western Hunan implemented the system of bride's first night. On the night of the wedding, the Tusi King had to own the bride's first night. The Tujia people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak up until the Tujia leader Xiang Dakun appeared.
In order to resist the oppression of the Tusi, Xiang Dakun led the Tujia warriors to resist, and finally lost the battle and jumped off a cliff to death. In memory of Xiang Dakun, the people named the mountain Tianzi Mountain
The romantic love story of a small town in western Hunan shown in "Past Events in a Small Town", the lighting sets on the stage and the scenes reflected on the water surface, present each beautiful scene after another.
Under the gorgeous green screen of the stage, two dancers danced, bringing people's thoughts into the distance.
"Masang Tree" is the most touching and tearful scene. In the red land of Zhangjiajie, more than 40,000 people went on the expedition during the Long March. The mother's son and wife's husband were saying goodbye to their families deeply. They did not know whether this expedition could return safely.
The battle continues to start, and the hot-blooded men do not flinch at all. Knowing that death is coming, they are not afraid to welcome the heroic sacrifice. They have sacrificed their lives for their country and country.
In Sangzhi County alone, only 50 of 20,000 people returned from the expedition. Countless relatives lived in endless pain, and it was precisely because of their sacrifices. Only then can the country be more peaceful and stable
The beginning of "Love in Xiangxi" also means that the performance is over. Many audiences walked out of the theater wiping tears. The too shocking performance deserves the title of a must-see in a lifetime. We look forward to seeing more places next time.
In addition to the theater, the street-sweeping mode has been launched in the scenic area. There are a wide variety of small commodities. The merchants are all super enthusiastic. There is no forced purchase or sale. Many things can be tried for free.
There are also more programs outside the theater that will be performed in turn. The son-in-law recruitment process will restore the wedding of the Tujia Tusi daughter. Male comrades will be recruited on site to pick up the hydrangea. Lucky people will experience the addiction of being a son-in-law of a Tusi.
The Jianghu flash mob show is also very interesting. The actors put on the format of Jianghu costumes and began to prepare to dance disco.
After a day of shopping, it's gradually getting dark, but I really can't get enough shopping on Dayong Ancient Street.
All kinds of clothing sachets have their own characteristics. I even bought a sachet here to send it back to my girlfriend. It is said that the sachets are filled with traditional Chinese medicine, which has various effects. What I bought is to soothe the nerves and help sleep. It smells really good
Naturally, you can't forget to take the night view when you leave the scenic area. The night at the entrance and lobby of the Eternal Love is also beautiful.
[DAY 3 Zhangjiajie-Phoenix]
Sometimes you have to control your own time by driving yourself. We need to have a complete plan when to set off and when to reach your destination. At 9 a.m., we set off from Zhangjiajie and arrived at Fenghuang at around 12 noon. We arrived at the booked B & B, which lives in Fenghuang River and meets the city for a long time. The environment is very comfortable, but parking is quite difficult, and it takes about a kilometer to drive, but the boss will drive a motorcycle to pick you up
After putting away my luggage and resting, I started the high-temperature rampage of Phoenix. This ancient city was a place I longed for when I was a child. Old people were walking in the quiet alleys with bags in hand, and several young people were enjoying the cool in the distance.
Some small vendors also opened shops to start business. A little orange cat emptied itself behind a flowerpot
Looking at the entire ancient town from a high altitude, old-fashioned houses are scattered on both sides of the Tuojiang River. The flavor of the mountain city is very strong
Snow Bridge is a famous scenic spot in the ancient city
There is a small waterfall in the Tuojiang River. The water above the waterfall is calm, and there is an endless flow under the waterfall
The Tian Ancestral Hall in the ancient town is a serious old building, with a cat lying comfortably on the brick stone stage steps
The night view is the beauty of an ancient city. The gorgeous colors are the same as the water and sky, and the basket is filled with purple. This is how the ancient city began
The places where the lights are turned on seem to be telling stories one after another. The gentle and delicate ancient city seems to be greeting tourists who come here, waving enthusiastically to them, and telling their own beauty. It's late at night, and it's time to go to bed.
This is my second time to come to Xiangxi, but it is definitely not the last time. Driving a thousand kilometers in three days is really a bit of a rush. If I can next time, I hope I can leave enough time to slowly taste the beauty of Hunan. This land of outstanding people has countless touching stories waiting for people to discover. Goodbye my beloved Greater Hunan
