[Journey to Qingfei] If we had never met--Zhangjiajie-Fenghuang Ancient City
I have always had a favorable impression of Hunan honey juice
The first trip to Hunan went to Changsha and Zhuzhou
300 rounds of battle with Changsha snacks
The second trip to Hunan went to Chenzhou
I saw the picturesque misty Xiaodongjiang River
the third
I want to have a date with Zhangjiajie and Phoenix
After sitting on the train for more than ten hours, we dragged our luggage out of the train station tiredly. What greeted us was the rain in Zhangjiajie. We immediately ordered food when we found the hotel, and the food was delivered to the door of the room. After dinner, I wanted to rest and go to the glass plank road in the afternoon, but I suddenly slept until the afternoon and couldn't go. She thought that she would always go out for a walk in the evening. Miss L was too lazy to go out, so she ordered takeout directly and went to Tianmen Mountain early tomorrow morning. The scenery I saw on the train was very beautiful, and I had more expectations for Zhangjiajie.
I read online travel notes that you have to get up early in the morning to buy tickets to Tianmen Mountain. The partner I met on the train also said the same, but I still went to ask the innkeeper. The boss said it doesn't need to be so early. Now student tickets can be purchased anytime. After listening to the boss's words, we leisurely left the house at 8:30. We had breakfast and bought some dry food. It was only 9:00 a.m. to reach Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area by taxi (We live near the train station, very close to Tianmen Mountain, and the bus station is also next to it, which is very convenient to go to the Forest Park. Personally, I think it's good to live there.) We bought tickets without waiting in line. We bought the A line (cableway up the mountain and take a car down the mountain). queuing up the cableway up the mountain took up all my patience. I queued for almost two hours, and there were long lines inside and outside.
After queuing for more than two hours, we finally got on the cableway. The cableway consisted of eight people per box. As soon as the door opened, a couple immediately sat on one side. I didn't understand it at first. When I twisted my neck to watch the scenery, I finally learned that it was best to sit on the side of the cableway in the same direction as the cableway, otherwise you would have to twist your neck to watch, and the cableway was still quite slow going up. It was still raining lightly today, which was completely contrary to the weather forecast we checked before our trip, and the road was still a little slippery. Knocking on the blackboard: It is very cold on the mountain. It is recommended not to wear a skirt. It is so cold that it flies.
There are many tour groups in the scenic area, and it is confusing for us to follow them. Have you done any strategies before? When I came back, I found that I haven't been to many places.
well
I may have gone to a fake Tianmen Mountain
Just stroll around
When you come to the glass plank road, you only need to buy 5 tickets without buying shoe covers. It rained that day and my shoe covers were all wet and I also collapsed. There were many people, and I was almost pushed past. The wind was strong, so I finally took a photo and left
I forget the name of this elevator. Anyway, it's very long and it's very cold inside. After you go out, you will find Tianmen Cave.
It's quite exciting to come to Tianmen Cave. I came here to see this natural and magical hole.
but
The middle of the stairs is being renovated, and there are only narrow corridors on both sides of the stairs that go up and down, which is a pity.
Take an eco-friendly car down the mountain. I have to say that the driver's driving skills are really good. Halfway up the mountain, we will stop and change cars. Kids who are carsick can rest and then take a ride down the mountain. We also took two photos of tourists here.
On the train to Zhangjiajie, the older sister opposite her was from Zhangjiajie. When chatting with her, she suggested that you can go to Tianmen Mountain, visit the Grand Canyon when you have time, or you can go to the Forest Park if you don't have to go to it. There is also a big bowl of rice that is affordable and delicious. Go and try it. After visiting Tianmen Mountain, I met a little Shanghai brother and decided to go together and have dinner together. When I told the driver to have a big bowl of rice, he was confused and asked us why we had a big bowl of rice. I replied that it was recommended by others. He replied that the big bowl of rice was eaten by the workers on the construction site, which is equivalent to a boxed lunch. I looked confused, and then he recommended us to go to a store and ate a three-color pot. I thought the taste was good, not very delicious.
We only planned to play Forest Park for one and a half days, and we set out according to the route the boss helped us plan. Due to the shortage of time, we had to give up Tianzi Mountain. The boss said that if we arrived early in the morning, we could still go, but we had to give up when we arrived at around ten o'clock. This is the regrettable part of this trip. I had known to arrange more time here, but this is all for the future.
Originally, our plan was not to come here, but the friends we met said it was worth going here, so we hurriedly changed our itinerary. It was really good.
I personally think I must visit the Forest Park. I entered directly from the gate of Jinbian River, so the route starts from Jinbian River and all the way to Tianbo Prefecture. As soon as I entered Jinbian River, I saw the cool green tree. I don't know how to describe it, but it was a very comfortable kind of green. I was like a monkey that made a fuss. I looked here and there. I also went down to the stream and played in the water. The stream was very shallow and clean but very cold
A warm-hearted little brother helped us take tourist photos
Touch the copper coins and treasure. I must have a good fortune this year
This is the location where "Journey to the West" was filmed. Listening to the guide's introduction, I couldn't tell that the mountain was Tang Priest.
You can see the monkey as you walk. Miss L had been looking forward to seeing the monkey before she came. After seeing the monkey, she stepped forward to take photos hard. I was still a little afraid that I wouldn't be so close. So the following photos of the cute little monkey were taken by Miss L. In fact, most of this travel note was taken by Miss L with her small mobile phone.
Before going to the Forest Park, we discussed the route with our boss and learned that there are two ways to go up the mountain (one is to take the Bailong elevator for a few minutes to the mountain without seeing any scenery, the other is to walk up the mountain for about two hours). When I heard that it was two hours, I refused and discussed with my friends to choose to take the elevator. But after watching Monkey, he walked around casually and asked the man doing business on the roadside.
Me: Uncle, does this road lead to the back garden?
Grandpa: Yes, go up here. After saying that, he even laughed
Just like this, we started our mountain climb for more than two hours. You are right, it took more than two hours. I didn't know when I was crawling at that time, but when I knew, I could only grit my teeth and climb. Fortunately, we could all climb haha. It was very difficult to see friends taking care of children and parents on the road. But we met an old lady and her daughter who climbed into the back garden with us, which was also amazing.
After climbing the mountain for a long time and watching the tourists descending the mountain, the following conversation came into being.
Me: How long have you been climbing?
Tourist A: More than an hour
Me: Ah, there is still so long
Tourist B: How long have you been climbing?
Me: More than an hour
But during this journey, there is a place like a canteen on every section of the road where you can eat or rest. Dry this cucumber and continue to climb (cucumbers have the highest appearance rate on the road. The boss said that locals like cucumbers because they quench their thirst and carry hunger)
On the way, it was fun to look at flowers, tease monkeys, listen to songs, and pretend to be pretentious.
After climbing for more than two hours, we finally reached the back garden. The vision suddenly widened
Passing through Wulong Village and other scenic spots, we finally arrived at Tianbo Prefecture, which was a place recommended by the boss before coming.
I was excited at first because the road up the mountain was like this. I find it exciting
Then I was afraid, because I had to climb such a wire-like road to climb it, and it was very steep. Children and the elderly would not recommend it here. even worse
I...
Fear of heights...
With the encouragement of my friends next to me, I insisted on climbing up
After climbing up, I was happy. After defeating myself, the scenery I saw was really good. The foreign friends next to me kept talking about amazing and instantly felt proud.
Climbing up was to watch the scenery from that little spot. Later, I was afraid
After taking two photos excitedly, I began to be afraid
want to come down
however
Miss L felt very exciting and went to the viewing area below and started taking selfies.
We brought a small amount of dry food and didn't eat much on the mountain, so we had some snacks. The white in the bowl is kudzu root powder, which costs five yuan for two bowls.
Down the mountain, huh
We are happy
He also walked down the mountain
It's another hour's journey down the mountain
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we met the aunt who we saw in Tianbo Prefecture and said to us: You go down the mountain so fast. I saw you on the cableway. Are we so fast? Are we so easy to recognize?
I wouldn't rule out that it was those two shawls.
I just got on the last eco-friendly car when I was down the mountain. I was so lucky. Before going up the mountain, it is best to ask when the latest time is to go down the mountain. We get on the last bus at about 6:30. Those who can't catch up can only ride a pheasant truck. I heard it costs 50 yuan
When going down the mountain, Miss L said that after climbing the mountain for a day, I felt like I had free lung cleaning and made a lot of money.
I silently took out my mobile phone and turned on the pedometer. My mobile phone, which was usually not good at counting steps, had almost 30,000 steps.
A guy next to him said that he had traveled more than 30,000 steps and came back after going to Tianmen Mountain in the morning. He really didn't know that
However, we didn't regret it during the past two hours of climbing the mountain, and we had a great time to walk and have fun. There are canteens and things along the road, and people carry them up the mountain. The price is quite expensive (I feel tired climbing it yourself). It is also excellent to tease the little squirrels, see monkeys, listen to songs, and chat with other tourists along the way.
Thinking about going to Phoenix in the afternoon, so he only had time in the morning and chose to take the cableway up and down the mountain. The day before I came here, I heard from my boss that there was a glass cableway (that is, the box on which the cableway is transparent at the bottom), but it was rare and needed to wait. There were fewer people in the morning, so we waited. I have also taken a cableway in Tianmen Mountain, but this is the first time I have seen glass underneath. It is still scary to sit on it and look underneath, but it is worth a try.
I saw a Tianshan Mountain yesterday. Compared with the one I saw in Tianbo Prefecture yesterday, the one here is more detailed (I can only say this)
Catching a little squirrel. It's strange that the little squirrel doesn't eat bread and likes to eat harder things such as potato chips, but it's so cute when eating.
When we were in the Echo Wall, we had a funny version of shouting mountains with Miss L. Later, when we climbed into the front garden, we heard other tourists shouting haha.
[Ancient City of Phoenix] It understands the darkness of night during the dayI arrived at Phoenix in the afternoon. There were not many people in Phoenix during the day, and I was quite disappointed that there was no beauty in the photos. There were also houses under construction when the innkeeper came to pick us up to the inn. The narrow road made it even more difficult to walk. When we returned to our room, we felt nice and beautiful. We discussed tomorrow's itinerary with Miss L. It was about 7 o'clock when we left. We asked the innkeeper about the bonfire party and learned that it started at 7 o'clock in the evening but there would be a car to pick up Nanhuamen in advance. We missed it brilliantly. So I went out with Miss L for a night tour. I met an old man who enthusiastically introduced us to the Phoenix Hotel. There was a performance in Border Town there, but it was about to start when we arrived there. Moreover, we thought the ticket price was quite expensive, so we didn't watch it for more than 200 yuan. There is no discount for students, so booking online will probably be cheaper.
The phoenix at night is absolutely beautiful, with a feeling of brilliance. There were already many people taking photos when we arrived.
the night
Don't be too sexy
There is some tranquility and beauty from the bridge. There are many bars by the riverside, and singing is very lively and exciting.
[Sister, do you want to buy a wreath?]Phoenix is quite commercial. Basically, every few steps you take, an aunt will come to ask you.
"Little sister, do you want to buy a wreath?"
"Does the little sister want to take photos in our Miao costumes?"
"Little sister, let's braid your hair."
"Does the little sister want to take a boat to tour the Tuojiang River?"
wait, wait
When we were watching the night view by the bridge, a little girl came to ask us if we wanted to buy a wreath. We didn't really want to buy it, but Miss L still jokingly said whether it would be sold for two pieces for 5 yuan (the little girl asked for 10 yuan for one piece), so she left. When we were taking photos, she came over again and said that we would sell it to us for two pieces of wreath for 5 yuan. We hurriedly paid out the money to buy it.
I asked her why you came out to buy flowers?
Little girl: Come out after finishing homework
I said to Miss L at that time: What a beast, how dare I bargain with a little girl so hard?
But when I came out alone the next day, my aunt said that she would sell me a wreath for 3 yuan, and she felt less guilty. Maybe this is the price there
Since I didn't go to the bonfire party, I had always wanted to experience the culture of the Phoenix. When I walked along the Tuojiang River, there were many people renting clothes and taking photos. I suddenly asked Miss L to take a set by the riverside. We didn't bring a SLR and we didn't have enough light at night, so with the following styles, if you have a friend with a SLR, you can still try wearing the following costumes to take photos.
Phoenix was very lively at night. We ate and ate all the way, bought some ethnic jewelry (of course, there was bargaining, which was amazing), and bought midnight snacks. It was nearly 12 o'clock when we returned to the hotel
At six o'clock in the morning, I was awakened by the laughter downstairs. Looking at Miss L, who was sleeping well without affecting her at all, I silently got up and washed. After telling her, I went out for a walk alone and had breakfast downstairs. I have eaten a lot of Guilin rice noodles, but I haven't eaten bacon. Guilin rice noodles have a bowl that tastes okay, and then I went around Tuojiang with a tour group with a fried dough stick in my mouth. In the morning, there are women washing clothes by the river, some are swimming, and there are also vegetable cleaners
There are many small shops selling CDs in Tuojiang River, as well as tambourines, etc. People are playing in every tambourine shop. There is also a specialty, that sugar. We tried it and thought it was not delicious, so we didn't buy it
A postcard shop was found near Hongqiao, which was quite literary. It was just by the Tuojiang River, and you could see small boats rowing around the window. I stayed there with Miss L for a long time and sent some postcards
1. Don't carry plastic bags in your hands when you go to the Forest Park. Little monkeys will grab plastic bags and they won't be in groups. I just happened to witness this scene and was so scared that if I brought them, I could store my luggage at the door (Self-service storage is free for two hours, and the extra time is also 2 yuan per hour. There is a personal test for this one).
2. You can bargain appropriately when buying things. This is a family reminder from the innkeeper. For example, there are many people selling shawls at the entrance of the Forest Park. They want to buy them because they think it's a little cold on the mountain. They bid 25 yuan each. I said I bought them for 10 yuan each, which is simply saving money. When Miss L was in Phoenix, she really scared me. She bought two garlands for five yuan, because I heard that the bid was 10 yuan each. She said she was just talking for fun, but she sold them for 666 yuan.
Although he has some travel experience, he has always been a follower of the large army and has never done his own guide. Miss L, my partner on this trip, is also a person who "follows the flow". Haha, I will make the itinerary and thank her for her trust. After making a simple itinerary, we booked the train tickets and the hotel for the day and set out. It was very rude, so our itinerary was full of surprises and small jokes.
[Trip]Day1: Guangzhou-Zhangjiajie
Day2: Tianmen Mountain
Day3: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
Day4: Huangshi Village-Fenghuang Ancient City
Day5: Jishou-Guangzhou
Based on previous travel experience, the hotel choices are all booked directly through Qunar. com, and the one with the highest rating is preferred. After all, what everyone thinks is good is really good, and it won't be too bad.
Personally, I don't think the place I stay is expensive, but the places I stayed in this trip are quite affordable.
I didn't charge advertising fees (Sincerity Face)
Zhangjiajie No. 1 Concept Hostel Railway Station Tianmenshan Branch: This store is near the railway station and can be reached directly on foot. It is also very close to Tianmen Mountain. There is a direct bus, and a taxi starts at 5 yuan. The bus station is also nearby. If you want to go to Phoenix, Forest Park is also very convenient. The owners of the hotel are a very welcoming couple and also provide free snacks and fruits, which is perfect.
The view from the window is very beautiful, and you can also see the cableway up Tianmen Mountain.
Yuyuan Inn in Zhangjiajie Forest Park: We wanted to go to the forest park, so we looked for accommodation nearby. I read travel notes saying that I could live on the mountain, and some said that I couldn't live on the mountain, which made me a mess, so I finally decided to live in this room. Later, I learned that I couldn't live on the mountain anymore. When I was climbing the mountain, I saw that there were still local people who could provide accommodation, but I personally felt that the conditions on the mountain were definitely not as good as those at the foot of the mountain, and it was better to live at the foot of the mountain. The place where I live is still a little far away from the attractions, but the boss drives free pick-up and drop-off in about two or three minutes. He will also help you plan your route based on your time. You can also eat directly in the restaurant, which is affordable and delicious. They just don't provide toiletries, but they sell them.
Phoenix Golden Triangle Inn: Phoenix Ancient City, this hotel is very close to Nanhuamen and close to the river. The rooms are also very beautiful, with a balcony and a small rocking chair. Very literary. Just in the morning, you will hear the sound of tourists playing downstairs. There are many places to eat and snacks downstairs.
