I didn't have the habit of writing travel notes, but I referred to many other people's travel notes when making the guide, which was very helpful to me. I hope my travel notes can also be used for reference by those in need.

Tips:
1. There is no high-speed rail for the time being in the section from Zhangjiajie City to Wulingyuan Scenic Area. It takes a long time to take a slow train. Many people, and there is a risk of delay. They can really fly if they can. (This time, we only discovered that there were a five-day holiday a month before the holiday, and we came on a trip with great enthusiasm. The price was that the air ticket was very expensive, so we chose to take the train. The whole journey was high-speed rail + train + car + legs)
2. This time, it is also a compressed journey. Last time, Beijing reduced other people's seven-day journey to 5 days. This time, it reduced others 'six-day journey to 3 days.(Although some people still gave up and didn't go, but the more famous ones used [ ] said), the time is too tight, and lunch is basically settled on the road, so the pace of this trip is for your reference only. Here is a chart of my daily steps.
3. Be sure to plan the route in advance. There are many scenic spots in the Wulingyuan core scenic spot in Zhangjiajie, and the scenic spots are quite far apart. It is best not to turn back. It is worth noting that there are actually many shortcuts in the Wulingyuan core scenic spot! You can walk less and travel more and save a lot of time (please write down the details below ※ About the shortcut to the core scenic spot of Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie!!!). There are also some scenic spots that can be seen far away and you don't have to go through it hard, so you must see what it looks like in advance. You may see it on the way. Although this is a May Day holiday, the routes and times for our trip to the discovery and tour groups are staggered, and we basically do not need to queue up (on the contrary, the one with a long line opposite should be a tour group). We can provide you with Daojiale and tour groups. Reverse routes.
4. If you want to go to the Yangjiajie Scenic Area, it is recommended to travel lightly. It is best to have climbing crutches or pick up roadside branches. It is not recommended for the elderly to move forward. They basically climb the stairs on their legs throughout the entire process. Some places are quite dangerous. The most beautiful is Yangjiajie, which is the most tiring place for tour groups. There are elderly people or very young children who refer to the tour group route I speculate below or eliminate the Yangjia boundary.
5. Check the weather, book tickets and accommodation in advance, and the mountain views of Zhangjiajie will be blocked on cloudy and cloudy days, and the sun will have a better photo effect. It is recommended to stay in the mountains (Laowuchang) for intermediate accommodation. It not only saves time going up and down the mountains, but also provides transportation to nearby attractions the next day. If you are lucky, you can also see the sunrise in Zhangjiajie. Remember to bring warm clothes when it is really cold at night.
6. Be sure to use the baggage check-in service! There is a baggage check-in service at the entrance of the Zhangjiajie Central Bus Station and the scenic area. After booking accommodation, contact the boss in advance and ask him which consignment can be checked to his home and write down the hotel's address and phone number. It is 20 yuan/piece. Whether it is delivered in the mountains or in the city, you can't reach the scenic area until 7-9 pm, because it will pass through the city's transfer station. If you want to rush it, you can tell the consignment party when you send it, and you can arrive around afternoon.
7. There are many animals on the mountain, especially the monkeys in Jinbian River. There are many big mosquitoes in Tianmen Mountain. They should wrap themselves with clothes. There will be dripping water on the plank road of the Grand Canyon. The clothes should be waterproof windbreakers with hats.
8. Pay attention to the closing time, latest booking time and ticket collection location of transportation vehicles in the scenic area. During holidays, when there are many people such as Bailong elevators, cableways or environmentally friendly vehicles, it may take 2 hours. Everyone arrange the time reasonably and reserve more queuing time (Except for the long queue at Tianmen Mountain, this trip was okay). The most important thing to pay attention to is the ticket collection location of Tianzishan Cableway. I don't know if this happens during holidays, but when we came to the cableway, we found that we had to take an environmentally friendly car to change the ticket collection location. The seller also sent a text message without giving notice, so we had to refund the ticket and queue up again to buy it, which wasted time.
9. If you are sitting on a train without a seat, someone comes to you and asks,"Are you in this position?" Be sure to ask him to show his ticket when you get there! Don't be fooled like us.
10. Suggest it to be eaten with my previous Hunan travel notes.
About and preparation for departure
Prepare to depart
ID + money + booking tickets and accommodation + basic equipment + itinerary arrangements (you can buy a map of the scenic spot if you need it)+ a phone case with rope (I am afraid of heights, I am afraid my hand will slip off the mountain)+ dry food (just prepare a little, you can also buy some food stalls from time to time. Except for Yuanjiajie, which is more expensive, other places are better)
※ About transportation
1. Changsha Metro can use the Changsha Metro app, and buses can use the Xiangxing One-Card app, but we are in a hurry to download it and have not used it. (I don't know if it was a special situation or if the high-speed rail was delayed that day, the last train of Changsha Metro will be launched at Changsha South Railway Station until the last high-speed rail arrives)
2. The only transportation methods from Changsha to Zhangjiajie are planes and slow trains. As tips said above, flights are generally recommended. The train gets on and off at Changsha Station and gets off at Zhangjiajie Station. Changsha's high-speed railway is called Changsha South Railway Station and Changsha Railway Station. Metro Line 2 can be directly connected. The two stations are quite far apart. Remember to reserve a certain amount of time in between. Moreover, Changsha Station is very small, you can only enter the station about 2 hours before the start of the train.
3. To go to the core scenic spot of Wulingyuan, you can leave the station at Zhangjiajie Railway Station and walk straight across the road on the left side. You don't need to buy tickets or security checks. You don't need to enter the station and go directly to the parking lot from the left side to follow the signs to find the corresponding station. The car (there are also channels inside the security check station entrance), get on and sit tight, and the conductor will collect money when driving.
Central Bus Station-Forest Park Ticket Station, ticket price is 12 yuan, takes 1 hour
Central Bus Station-Wulingyuan to the bus station. The fare is 14 yuan and it takes 1.5 hours.
The central bus station-Tianzishan Ticket Station has a ticket price of 15 yuan and takes 2 hours. (This bus passes through Yangjiajie Ticket Station. Those who go to Yangjiajie Ticket Station can take this bus)
4. To go to the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon (Yixiantian Glass Bridge), there is a special bus from Wulingyuan Bus Station. It starts from 6:30 to 7:00 a.m. When it is about to arrive, the conductor will point out the parking lot for the return journey (opposite the entrance of the scenic area) on the way.), just find the corresponding car as before and get on and wait for the bus.
※ Note: To buy tickets at Wulingyuan Bus Station, you must first go to the counter to buy tickets with your ID card and need security check.
5. To get to Tianmen Mountain, it is just behind Zhangjiajie Railway Station. It takes about 20 minutes to walk and takes a taxi for about 10 yuan. You can also take a car.
Bus station: You can take buses No. 4, 5 and 10 to the Tianmen Mountain Cableway Exit Station. The fare is 2 yuan and the time is within 10 minutes.
Railway Station: Take Bus No. 6 and No. 5, the fare is 2 yuan, and you can reach the Tianmenshan Cableway Station in 5 minutes.
※ Note: If Tianmen Mountain chooses Line A, the last place you leave the scenic spot will be farther away from the train station than Line B, and there will be many people waiting for the bus to leave. If you want to catch the train like us, remember to reserve time.
6. Transportation in the scenic area is written in ※ About the scenic area (map).
※ About scenic spots (map)
1. This journey is divided into Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan Core Scenic Area, Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, Tianmen Mountain, and Changsha. (The route is written in the travel notes)
※ Tianmen Mountain and Tianzi Mountain are not the same place. Tianmen Mountain is in the urban area of Zhangjiajie, and Tianzi Mountain is in the core scenic spot of Wulingyuan.
① Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan Core Scenic Area----The recommended tour time is 3 to 4 days, and you can freely enter and exit the park based on your fingerprints within 4 days. There are three entrances in total, namely the Forest Park Gate, the Wulingyuan Sign Gate, and the Tianzi Mountain Gate. The scenic spots in the park are roughly divided into Huangshizhai, Jinbianxi, Yuanjiajie, Yangjiajie, Laowuchang, Daguan Terrace and Tianzi Mountain.
* **(Generally, tour groups should enter from the Wulingyuan Sign Gate and use the Tianzishan Cableway up the mountain, use the Bailong Elevator to go down the mountain and take the bus at Shuiaround Fourth Gate, or walk Jinbian Creek and exit the Forest Park Gate) So I suggest walking the opposite way like us, entering through the Forest Park Gate, staying at Laowuchang or Tianzishan Gate in the middle, and then exiting through the Wulingyuan Sign Gate.
※※※ Environmentally friendly vehicles (minibuses, or similar buses) in the parking lots of various scenic spots in the park are included in the ticket and do not require additional payment. However, other transportation means, such as Bailong Elevator, Tianzishan Cableway, Shili Gallery Small Train, etc., which can be seen when booking tickets, require additional payment. These transportation means are available on demand and refunded on demand for online booking, which is very convenient.
※※※ Pay attention to the closing time of transportation in the scenic area. As the tips mentioned above, reserve more queuing time. Moreover, the distance between scenic spots is quite far away. It takes about half an hour to take an eco-friendly car. Make reasonable arrangements. Time.
② Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon----It is recommended to play for half a day in the morning and half a day in the afternoon (there is only a glass bridge, and the fare is relatively cheap). Tickets are admitted in different periods. There are 3 time periods in total. Buy tickets as early as possible (If you have time, it is recommended to go for a walk)
※ The last short section of the boat in the scenic area is free. There is a Grand Canyon elevator in the middle where you have to queue up to buy tickets. In fact, it is only a short section. You can walk down by yourself. There are also some amusement facilities that are also charged.
③ Tianmen Mountain----The recommended tour time is half a day to one day. It is divided into Line A and Line B. Line A is on the cable car and off the bus. Line B is on the bus and off the cable car. The attractions are all the same. It is also divided into time periods, so buy tickets as early as possible, and the first time period is recommended, which is super invincible for many people. (This scenic spot seems to be privately invested. The transportation facilities in the scenic spot are very complete. Even if I only experience the transportation facilities, it is worth recommending it. This is the highest and fastest cable car I have ever taken. There is no one. Although it is completely enclosed, I still hugged myself in fear. Fortunately, I bought the A line, and the B line probably had to be blindfolded + ghostly to sit on the mountain)
※ If you take Line B, there is a ladder in Tianmen Cave. It is either long or short, but it is very inclined. If you can't climb, you can buy a ticket next door and sit down on the escalator to cross the mountain. The only place you have to pay for the whole journey. Line A can walk slowly and it's not too hard.
④ You can refer to my previous travel notes for attractions in Changsha (I didn't know the famous tea color at that time, and I really wanted to beat myself). I didn't go to the attractions this time, just to eat.
※ Shortcuts on the core scenic spot of Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie!!!
I have read so many travel notes and guides, but no one has discovered it. Almost every food stall on the mountain has shortcuts!!! Usually the road opposite the small stall is mud, and it is obvious that there is a mud road for a person, which is a shortcut! Some well-intentioned people will put up a sign saying which parking stop this road leads to, and ask the people at the food stall if there is no suggestion. It can save a lot of time, especially Yangjiajie!! (From the beginning, I wondered how they could carry the food stall so heavy?) Although walking like a wild forest, it also looks like an absolute survival feeling when photographed, don't be afraid, you can walk out by following the road.
※ About checked baggage!!
Please be sure to check your luggage, free your hands, and ease your journey. It's really cool! Before checking in your luggage, remember to contact the hotel owner to write down the address and phone number, and ask which consignment can be delivered. Twice, we were at the Zhangjiajie Central Bus Station on the right hand side before security check and said Check-in Baggage Office, 20 yuan/piece. You can also check in at the entrance of the scenic area, but it seems that you cannot check it around 9 o'clock.
The consignment transfer stations on the mountain and in the urban area are all in the urban area, so they can't arrive until 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., so you can tell them in advance if you need to rush it.
About accommodation and food in Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan core scenic spot
1. If you live on the mountain in Wulingyuan Scenic Area, don't look forward to it too much. You can make dinner and breakfast for an extra few dozen yuan. It's very cost-effective. However, you may have to share the table with others like us. It's mainly ordinary farm dishes, but there are still fried specialties: Farmhouse stir-fried pork, Tujia bacon, etc., snack stalls on the road also sell specialty kiwis and kudzu root powder. Everyone can try it. Ordinary tomatoes and cucumbers are not expensive and can quench their thirst. It's really cold on the mountains at night, so remember to bring a warm coat.
2. Outside the Wulingyuan sign gate, tourism development is relatively mature. In many hotels, restaurants, fruit shops and massage shops, the most specialty dish is Sanxia pot, which is quite delicious. (Fruit is not expensive, but it is not very delicious)
3. The water in Wulingyuan Scenic Area is really cold, even the water to the hotel outside the sign door at the foot of the mountain is so cold. It feels like mountain spring water.
4. Another point is that there is a kind of fruit sold in many scenic spots called "Baojia Fruit" or "Tree Grapes". Don't buy it! Don't buy it! Don't buy it! It comes in pink and dark black. They are dyed or bleached grapes, and they are sold for 1 yuan per grain. I thought it strange when I bought it for trial. When I came back to check Weibo, I found that I had really been cheated (Wuzhen Wumei was also a liar). The real "Baojia Fruit"="Tree Grapes" is a very standard round, and I heard that they are not as delicious as grapes, and the juice tastes similar to mulberry juice.
5. Intermediate accommodation recommends staying on the mountain as tips said. If you want to eat at the hotel, remember to let the boss know in advance. Or you can live in Tianzi Mountain Gate. There is an environmentally friendly car as soon as you enter the door. I can't answer the environment without passing by. It is recommended to stay in Wulingyuan, which is very convenient for food and accommodation. The Wulingyuan Bus Station is also nearby, so the first bus can enter the park at the first time.
About Hunan people
They are all very friendly, but some locals speak Mandarin? I really couldn't understand it. I thought it was my poor Mandarin, but my friend couldn't understand it either. In the end, I solved it through body language (forehead lifting).
30Day1。Guangzhou South Railway Station------Changsha South Railway Station
I originally planned to take the high-speed train to Changsha after work to gather for dinner + late night and then take the train to Zhangjiajie. All the time was perfect. Who knew that there would be twists and turns on the first day. This time, every friend came to Guangzhou from different places and then transferred to Changsha. Maybe the holiday was announced too late. Many people chose to travel on the high-speed rail, and then many buses were delayed. Some friends were stuck in traffic on the way to the high-speed rail and missed the high-speed rail to Guangzhou. The silly diao conductor canceled the ticket from Guangzhou to Changsha conveniently.(Thinking about it made me angry. Fortunately, she didn't cancel the trip from Changsha to Zhangjiajie, otherwise I would really thank her family.) I had to make up for the tickets for the early morning of the day. Fortunately, our train to Zhangjiajie was at 4 a.m. the next morning, plus the chain reaction of the high-speed train delay, my train was also delayed for 2 and a half hours, which was really enough time...
Long Long and I went to Guangzhou South and Changsha on time, so we went to Mengzhong Barbecue and packed it for the two of them first. Then pay attention! Although it was already late, and although the takeout in Changsha had already closed, the tea color in front of the train station was still open. We walked the other way on the first day, so we didn't notice it. We didn't realize it until we got a drip on the day we came back. What a loss!
Changsha's subway can use the app mentioned above or ordinary ticket purchase. At night, there is also manual ticket sales in Changsha South. I don't know if it was a special situation or because the high-speed train was late that day, the last train of Changsha subway was at Changsha South Railway Station until the next high-speed train arrived. It was really humane. I waited at that station for half an hour...
Mengzhong Barbecue was recommended by my friends who had been here before. I ordered a lot of food in order to pack it up, but I couldn't eat it later. Moreover, Mengzhong's spicy food is quite spicy. It is recommended not to eat spicy food or not to order spicy food, or order some first to see if you like it. If you don't like it, transfer it. Don't be like us and can't turn it even if you want to. I ordered butter, fire beef, garlic fried chicken, pork belly, yellow throat, crispy bones, thousand-page tofu, and soy milk. All were all in front of basic public reviews. The taste is just average, ordinary barbecue flavor, a little dry, but my friends said it can be quite delicious. The garlic chicken really doesn't need to order one grain of garlic without eating garlic.
01Day2。Changsha Station----Zhangjiajie Station (Zhangjiajie City)----Zhangjiajie Scenic Area Forest Park Gate---Yuanjiajie---Laowuchang
That's right! It was all night long. After meeting at Mengzhong, He Huan went to Changsha Station at around 2 o'clock to wait for the gods (lighting up new travel partners). Changsha Railway Station is very small and can only enter the station 1 to 2 hours in advance. Originally planned to take the 4:30 train to Zhangjiajie before 10 o'clock, and to the Zhangjiajie Scenic Area Forest Park Gate at 12 o'clock. It will have most of a day to play, which is perfect (due to the May Day holiday, a few hours of queuing time will be left open). Who knew that due to a series of chain reactions of high-speed rail delays, our train was delayed for a full two and a half hours and got on with the next 7 o'clock train. When we first saw that Zhangjiajie was among the top three on May Day, we were afraid that in order to arrive early, we chose the train with no seats at 4 o'clock. Later, we found that many people were on tour groups and there were very few individual passengers. Although the trains were full at first, most of them were going home. After a few stops, they began to have a seat. There were very few people in the Zhangjiajie carriages. The small bench that had high expectations was not used very well.
After arriving in Zhangjiajie, I quickly checked my luggage and took the bus to the Forest Park Gate. It was already 2:30 when I arrived at the gate. When I checked my fingerprints and entered the park, there were really few individual passengers, and they might already be on the mountain.
※ Route: Entrance of Forest Park--Da Oxygen Bar Square--[Huangshizhai Scenic Area 3.5h--Da Oxygen Bar Square]--Jinbianxi Scenic Area 2.5h (Golden Whip Rock, Journey to the West Exterior, etc. --Thousands of Miles--Water Wounds Four Doors)--Environmentally friendly vehicle--Bailong Elevator (one side of the Shenmen Gathering)--Environmentally friendly vehicle--Yuanjiajie Scenic Area 2h ([Xianghui Fantai, Back Garden], Qiankun Pillar, World's First Bridge,[Lock Mountain])--World's First Bridge Parking Lot--Environmentally friendly vehicle--Sancha Road Crossing Parking Lot--Laowuchang
※ Note: (The core attractions included in the scenic area),[Famous attractions but not visited], the tour time is for reference only, and the attractions that have not been visited are included.
※① Look at the map above in Huangshizhai Scenic Area. After reading it, you have to return to Dayang Bar Square by the same way or take the cableway directly to Yangjiajie.
② You can also walk without taking the Bailong elevator. You can turn left at the Qianli meeting and go up the mountain road. It takes about an hour to walk.
③ After watching the Ecstasy Terrace and the Back Garden, you have to walk back. It takes about half an hour. Everyone can go there if you have time.
④ Qiankun Pillar is the shooting site for Avatar, and there are many foreign tourists here.
The Jinbianxi Scenic Area has a long flat road next to the stream that leads to the water around the four gates. Occasionally, there are several steps. There is a fork before walking thousands of miles away. Walking thousands of miles away to the water around the four gates, there will be gradually more monkeys and closer to people. There are not many people, the road is easy to walk, the scenery is very quiet, the air is very good, the scenic spots are very dense, and occasionally there are some steps to go down into the stream, and there are also some chairs by the stream for people to rest on.
We entered the park, ate something by the stream to replenish our strength, and walked towards the Bailong Elevator. When we made the strategy, we said that the Bailong Elevator would take about 2 hours to shoot during holidays. We were afraid that it would be too late to get up the mountain and walked forward quickly. After arriving at the four gates of Shuiaround, you will find two stone pastries in Zhangjiajie. Walking to the road behind the stone pastries, you will see a station. There will be environmentally friendly vehicles similar to buses going to the Bailong Elevator.
(The road behind here is the bus stop for Bailong Elevator)
If you want to buy tickets for Bailong Elevator, you can swipe the QR code to enter. It takes a long walk to get in. There are postcards and other souvenirs for sale inside. It is recommended to take a look. After all, you will not pass by again and then get on the elevator in batches. The elevator is really high and fast, and it is worth it. It saves more than 2 hours in a few minutes. And we may have come too late, no one at all, four people monopolized the entire elevator, which was super cool. Bailong Elevator is facing one side of the Shenshen Party, and we will go to the other side tomorrow.
Above the elevator is Yuanjiajie (at this time, there are many tour groups queuing up for the descending elevator). Go to the sign to the Yuanjiajie parking lot. There is only one stop to choose from. Just get on the train. Get off the bus and follow the signs to the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area (Qiankun Pillar, World's No. 1 Bridge). They are all easy to walk on the same road, but in fact they are all those mountains. The World's No. 1 Bridge also needs to take photos from afar and then walk on the bridge. There is nothing on it. After walking the No. 1 Bridge in the World, there is a three-fork road that leads to the No. 1 Bridge parking lot (the direction pointed by the No. 1 Bridge). Ask nearby tour guides for uncertain suggestions, and they will generally tell you. Then take an environmentally friendly car to the No. 1 Parking lot at the intersection of Sancha Road. Remember to call the accommodation owner in advance and ask him to send a car to pick you up at the No. 1 Parking lot at Sancha Road. If the boss is not afraid of late, you can also watch the sunset near Qiankun Pillar before going there.
It was really cold on the mountain at night. The children kept coming in and out of the door. I kept eating shivering. The four of us came late and shared the table with other people, so we were embarrassed to take pictures. The dishes were ordinary farm dishes, but there were still fried specialties: farm fried pork, Tujia bacon, etc. We lived in Lao Wuchang, but it was too cold to go out to see if there were stars.
(God Soldiers Party, I will go to the opposite mountain to watch it tomorrow)
(Qiankun Pillar)
(The world's first bridge, a natural stone bridge, although it is blocked by plants, → it is the world's first bridge parking lot)
02Day3。Laowuchang---Yangjiajie---Tianzi Mountain--Wulingyuan Gate in Zhangjiajie Scenic Area
※ Route: Laowuchang sunrise--Laowuchang Scenic Area 1h (Aerial pastoral, magical gathering)---Daguantai Scenic Area 1.5h (Daguan Terrace, Divine Chicken Pecking,[Hard to Go in One Step, Xianren Bridge, Tianzi])---Dagantai Crossing Parking Lot--Environmentally friendly Vehicle--Sancha Crossing Parking Lot--Environmentally friendly Vehicle--Wulongzhai Crossing Parking Lot--Yangjiajie Scenic Area 5h (Golden Rooster announces dawn--Forked Crossing--[Wulongzhai Gate--Wulongzhai Top--Tianbo Mansion]--Back to the Forked Crossing--Wulang worships Buddha--Climb to the Sky in one step--Air Corridor)---Wulongzhai Crossing Parking Lot--Environmentally Friendly Vehicle--Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area 1h ([Shentangwan Point Parking Lot--Dianjiangtai]--Tianzishan Parking Lot--Helong Park--Fairy laying flowers--Yubi Peak--Tianzi Pavilion--Samurai Training Horse)--Helong Park Environmental Vehicle--Tianzishan Cableway Downward--Environmentally Friendly Vehicle---[Shili Gallery Crossing Parking Lot--Shili Gallery 1h--Back to Parking Lot]--Environmentally Friendly Vehicle--Wulingyuan Sign Gate
※ Note: (The core attractions included in the scenic area),[Famous attractions but not visited], the tour time is for reference only, and the attractions I have not visited are included.
※① On the way to the Shenmen Party, there is a viewing platform covered with a white screen and charged 2 yuan. It is the viewing platform of the sky pastoral.
② Except for the Daguan Terrace, the other parts of the Daguan Terrace Scenic Area are stairs, which is really hard. There are bifurcated roads in the middle, and all of them have to go back. Some elderly and children suggest setting aside more time for stay and rest. It takes 15 minutes for the divine chicken to peck and walk hard, and the round trip between Xianren Bridge and Tianzi is 1.15 hours. The point is! You can actually see divine chickens pecking at food on the stairs down from Daguan Terrace. You don't have to walk so far. I don't know if I can see it if I haven't gone to the other side. I guess it's also the mountains in Daguan Terrace, just different corners.
③ Yangjiajie Scenic Area Looking at the map above, there is a fork road leading to Tianbo Prefecture on one side and the sky corridor on the other side. Both sides need to return to the fork intersection. It is recommended to use it with shortcuts and climbing crutches. There is no shortcut to and from Tianpo Prefecture for 2 hours, and the air corridor is about 3 hours.
④ The front and back sections of the air corridor are quite difficult to walk. It is not recommended for the elderly and too young children to go. There are no shortcuts for the difficult road in the back section. There is also Yangjiajie, unlike other scenic spots, which have toilets from time to time. Basically, there are only food stalls. There are toilets only at fork intersections and parking lots. I didn't know about Tianbo Prefecture before going to it.
③ If you want to start from Yangjiajie, you can directly take the Yangjiajie cableway, or walk up the mountain at the lower station of the cableway for about 1 hour to the black iron gate. When you get up, you will be on the way to the sky corridor, as we will say below.
④ You can also walk down Tianzi Mountain to Wolongling or Nantianmen instead of taking the cableway. It takes about 3 hours. Wolongling is more physically strenuous to get to the end of Shili Gallery. You can directly buy a one-way train. Nantianmen is in the front of Shili Gallery. You need to buy a round-trip ride, or you can also walk.
③ The eco-friendly car going to the Tianzishan Cableway is not from the Tianzishan Parking Lot, but there is a staircase written on the back of Helong Park that says going to the Tianzishan Cableway Parking Lot, that is, the Tianzishan Parking Lot is along the Helong Park. The uphill road in the direction of Helong Park.
Shili Gallery is a mountain fault. You can buy a small train, which is one-way and round-trip, or you can take the sidewalk. (I searched for pictures that were not as interesting as Tianbo Prefecture, so I didn't go there)
I specially chose to live on Laowuchang Mountain in order to watch the sunrise. I got up at 5 o'clock, but the clouds were too thick to see, so I cried (add 2 pictures of the sunrise sent by the landlady). After breakfast, after checking in our luggage at the hotel, the landlady drove us to the Laowuchang Scenic Area. On the way to the Shenmen Party, there was a paid observation deck covered with a white screen, which was the observation deck of the sky pastoral. In front of the sky pastoral area, there are kudzu root powder for sale. It is a specialty if you are interested to try it, so it's just so-so. The sky pastoral is a small field on a hill. Follow the instructions and go to the Shenshen Gathering (if the instructions are not obvious, you can ask people or you can also use mobile maps). They are all mountain roads but not very difficult to walk. They will pass by farmers and may be attacked by big fat geese.
Arriving at the Shenshen Party is opposite the Bailong Elevator yesterday. You can take pictures of the Bailong Elevator together, but you can't see the sky countryside here. After taking the photo, we returned to the original road and called the landlady to take us to the Daguantai Scenic Area. This hotel is really nice. It includes pick-up and transportation for dozens of people and dinner + breakfast.
The location of Daguan Terrace is really confusing. There is a conspicuous stone plaque on the open space that says Daguan Terrace. There is a route map on it, but the front is blocked by a row of trees. In fact, the real attraction is near this stone plaque. At the corner of the road, there is a very small and low Daguan Terrace stone plaque, which is here.
After taking pictures, I went back to the first stone sign with a route map. I followed the route and saw many stairs and went down. In fact, you can see the divine chickens pecking at the food. The divine chickens pecking at the food next door, but it was difficult to walk in one step (just using a few steel bars to connect the two unconnected mountains, so I didn't go there because I was afraid of heights). The road below the Daguantai Scenic Area was really tiring. It was filled with stairs. Long Huanshen walked for a short while and gave up waiting for me on the stairs bench. It was already tired enough when I went down, and I had to turn back and walk up after watching it. I was so tired that I walked to the Shenji to peck at food. I struggled for a minute not to walk to the Xianren Bridge and Tianzi on the other side, which were probably just the mountains of Daguantai. I was alone on the way back and was chased by a few goats. I was not kidding. I really ran with all my strength. I ran to a pavilion with a lot of people and didn't dare to follow me. I guess it was raised by someone, with a big bell hanging around my neck. Can you please take care of your lawless goats and geese?
Then go back to the Shipai of Daguantai and walk along the uphill road to the parking lot at the intersection of Daguanyuan. There are many cars here and look carefully at the cars. In fact, there is the eco-friendly car terminal below. Cars that come here are basically full. I heard that they will stop if there is a space.

(It's hard to move next door)
Then take an eco-friendly car to the parking lot at Wulongzhai Crossing. You can basically follow the crowd and buy the dyed grape "Baojia Fruit" mentioned above at the door. Don't buy it! The pink and white ones should be bleached, let alone buy them! Follow the prompts and come to the sign. That's right. In fact, there is a shortcut here. It's just opposite the sign. It's a food stall on the road leading to the sky courtyard. However, it's really a dirt road that a person walks through. We were also afraid of getting lost in the forest at first, and the picture also feels like jungle adventure. If you are brave enough, you can try walking. You can walk out in ten minutes. The normal road takes you 2 hours. Just go to the food stall and ask the owner to see where the attractions are.
The following is the normal road: After passing the sign, there is a very narrow stone ladder, and you will see the golden rooster announcing the dawn. After going down the stone ladder, you will reach the fork entrance. On the one hand, you will head to Tianbo Prefecture and on the other hand, you will head to the sky corridor. Because I saw the sky corridor, it was written what time you couldn't enter after (I forgot what time it was). It probably took a long time to walk. We were afraid that we wouldn't have enough time to search the map of Tianbo Prefecture and felt fine, so we gave up and headed straight to the sky corridor.
The road to the Sky Corridor starts with a very sloping and large natural stone ladder, followed by ordinary stairs. After walking up for a long way, you will come to Gorang worships Buddha. There is a food stall next door, but I don't think there are any shortcuts. It is recommended to rest here. Then walk a long way up and down the stairs to reach the sky in one step. It is worth coming to the sky in one step. It is very beautiful, but you have to climb the steel ladder up and down. It is recommended to climb the new one and descend the old one. Then continue to walk forward to the sky corridor. The road here was a little difficult at first, and the more difficult it became to walk at the back. Not only were there fallen trees and rocks, but there was also a staircase covered with moss due to the mountains and rivers that was quite slippery. I could only climb the railing next to me. After walking through this staircase, you will see a black iron gate. Below you are the Yangjiajie Cableway Station. The other road is to the Sky Courtyard. On the way, you pass through Echo Valley, where many people are barking here. If you go a little further, you will find the Sky Courtyard. The Sky Courtyard and Step to Sky are the most beautiful and open places on the whole journey. The mountains are intertwined in layers, like mountains and seas. The feeling of mountains and seas. The entire mountain scenery cannot fit in your eyes. It is very worth a visit. It is also a good place to visit. The gathering of soldiers is also good. Unfortunately, there was not much sunshine that could not be photographed that day.
When we returned, we finally couldn't stand it and found a branch as a crutch. It was really easier to walk. Then we found a shortcut at the food stall and returned to the sign. It was only 2 o'clock at this time, and we actually had time to go to Tianbo Prefecture, but everyone was a little tired and afraid that the journey would be as difficult as here, so we went directly to Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area.

(Below is the Yangjiajie Cableway Exit Station. The other road leads to the Sky Courtyard, so don't go down)
I don't know why there are many people queuing up at the Wulongzhai Crossing Parking Lot to other stops, but there are not many people queuing up to Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area. I guess the tour group comes from there, so only individual tourists go there. To go to Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area, you can get off at Shentangwan Parking Lot to watch the station and then walk to Tianzi Mountain Parking Lot to see other things. However, we were so tired that we missed the stop, so we got off directly at Tianzi Mountain Parking Lot. There were many people queuing across the street. At first, I thought we would have to queue in such a long line when we went back, but later I found out that it was not. I guess the tour group was going to other scenic spots after seeing this place from the cableway.
Follow the crowd and you will find Helong Park. There are many tour groups here, which are very suitable for families. Basically, they are flat roads, there are many restaurants (including Golden Arch and Star Papa), and there are also a concentrated number of attractions. There are one within a few steps. There are fairy laying flowers, Yubi Peak, Tianzi Pavilion, and warrior training horses.
After watching it, take the Tianzishan Cableway down the mountain. The environmentally friendly car going to the Cableway is not in the Tianzishan Station Parking Lot. There is a staircase written on the back of Helong Park that says going to the Tianzishan Cableway Parking Lot, which is the Tianzishan Station Parking Lot is along the road. The uphill road in the direction of Helong Park. One thing that needs to be noted about the Tianzishan Cableway is that booking tickets does not have to be picked up next to the cableway. We called and found out that we had to pick up tickets at Shipai in Helong Park, but we had already arrived at the cableway and had to queue up with our ID card to refund tickets. This cableway is quite long, and it will shake every time you pass by the pulley, but the scenery is quite good. Tickets for the cableway can be used as postcards with stamps. There are also postboxes and tables and chairs at the next station. It is recommended to bring a pen and send tickets home. It was quite early to finish visiting the scenic spots, but it took a long time to wait to buy tickets on the Tianzishan Cableway, it was also quite a long time to get off the back of the cableway (you can take an environmentally friendly car here to go to Shili Gallery), and it was quite a long time to drive to the sign gate. You can watch the sunset on the bus, and it is almost 6 o'clock when you get off to the Wulingyuan sign gate.
There are many accommodation and massage shops near Wulingyuan, as well as fruits sold (fruits are cheap and taste average). After strolling around the neighborhood, I finally planned to go to Xiangjian Local Restaurant. This restaurant ranks first in public reviews. Remember to go early or you have to wait. I ordered dry pot bandit chicken and Tujia Sanxia pot. They are both quite delicious, just the more you cook, the more spicy it becomes. During the waiting process, I bought a Northeast milk cake next door. The taste was good.

03Day4。Wulingyuan---Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon (Glass Bridge, Line of Sky)--Tianmen Mountain (Zhangjiajie Urban Area)--Zhangjiajie Station--Changsha Station
I went nearby for breakfast early the next morning, but it was not delicious. Later, I saw people from a tour group coming in. Sure enough, places with tour groups were not delicious.
Buy a ticket at the Wulingyuan Bus Station to go to the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. It's about 8 o'clock to get to the Grand Canyon. It's just the first time period. Buy a ticket online and swipe your ID card to enter. Just follow the crowd. There is only one direction for the Grand Canyon. The car will stop at the glass bridge. The exit is the entrance of the scenic area. It's really all the scenic spots. The last short section of the boat in the scenic area is free. There is a Grand Canyon elevator in the middle to queue up to buy tickets. In fact, it's just a short section. You can walk down by yourself. The rest are on foot. The distance is quite long, but it is all flat. There are also mountains and rivers dripping down on some sections. It is recommended to bring a waterproof coat with a hat. There are also some rides that require a fee. However, those rides are also not recommended to play. There was a poor little girl who was stuck halfway through playing and was dragged back by the staff under everyone's onlookers.
To be honest, if you have time, you can buy a morning period for a walk. The scenery is quite quiet and pleasant. If you don't have time for the glass bridge, you can only buy the afternoon glass bridge period without the trip to the canyon behind. Originally, we had a busy schedule. We planned to leave after watching the glass bridge in the morning and go back to the city to visit Tianmen Mountain in the afternoon. Even the booking website refused to sell us tickets like this at the beginning, saying that no one played like this. We confirmed it several times before we were willing to place an order with us. Although we played as planned this day, it was not quite what we thought. At first, when the train was about to arrive, the conductor pointed to the entrance of the scenic area and said,"Let's wait for you in the parking lot opposite here." I felt something was wrong. Sure enough, after seeing the glass bridge, there was no place to go out. In fact, there should be something that the tour guides probably wouldn't go in and directly follow the car back to the entrance of the scenic area and wait for the tourists to see it. Then, when we hurried through the entire journey, we found that we were still the conductor at the station. That is, even if we go out through the glass door without looking at the entire journey, it is estimated that no one will take us back at this time.
It's actually nothing to go to the glass bridge. There are quite a few people in the first period of time, so you can walk with two photos (Tianmen Mountain also has a small section, but it is crowded with people). On the contrary, the canyon behind is quite beautiful. Before entering the glass bridge, shoe covers will be sent out. After reading them, you can just follow the instructions to recycle them. Then you walk down the stairs and see the Grand Canyon elevator mentioned above. You can not sit, and the queue will be long. I thought I would just walk a short way and then take a boat. The reality is the opposite. Only in the end, there is no plank road built in front of the entrance of the scenic area, so there is a short boat to ride. The entire scenic area takes about 2 hours to walk. At the exit, pay attention to the fact that some Great Saints will grab you to take photos and ask for money. After you leave the door, you will cross the road to the parking lot. Just find the same car as you came to Wulingyuan.
(Green is the glass bridge exit, blue is the elevator. The elevator only reaches the white shed in the middle, and underground is the rest square leading to the entrance of the valley)
After watching it, I rushed back in a hurry. I originally reserved time to go back to Wulingyuan for lunch, but who knew that it was all occupied by the Grand Canyon. I simply and roughly bought some dry food and bought a ticket and took the bus back to the city. There is another stop in front of the Zhangjiajie Central Bus Station. It is very close to the Tianmenshan Cableway Station. Even if I miss it, it is still very close to walking back or taking a car. When I arrived, it was just the time for us to pre-check in.
After entering Tianmen Mountain, go to the automatic ticket machine first, pick up the ticket with your ID card, and then see if it is time for pre-ticket checking. If so, you can just go to the queue directly. I don't know if it's the May Day holiday, but there are not many domestic tour groups. Most of them are foreign tour groups. There were really many people, and there were not enough managers of the Tianmen Mountain cableway, and there were tour groups crowding in between the fault queues, which made us and the tour guide who told them when riding the cable car.
Tianmen Mountain is divided into Line A and Line B. Line A is on the cable car and off the bus. Line B is on the bus and off the cable car. The attractions are all the same. If you take the B line, there is a ladder in Tianmen Cave. It is either long or short, but it is very oblique. If you can't climb, you can buy a ticket next door and sit down on the escalator to cross the mountain. The only place you have to pay for the whole journey. Line A can walk slowly and it's not very hard. Also note that there are many mosquitoes on the mountain, so it's best to wrap yourself up.
Most tour groups will probably choose the A line, so the queue here on the A line is extremely long. We waited for two and a half hours for the cableway on the A line to get to the cable car. Tianmen Mountain seems to be privately invested. The transportation facilities in the scenic area are really perfect. It is also suitable for the elderly and children to play. Even if we just come to experience its transportation facilities, it is still worth it. This is the highest and fastest cable car I have ever taken. There is no one of them. For me, it is an exciting ride. It is completely enclosed, but I still huddle together in fear. The reason why I bought the A line is also because of this. I think I have to sit on the mountain with blindfolded + ghosts screaming. Overall, I still recommend the A line. The ladder on the B line is quite strenuous, and the A line is basically going down. The upper escalator through the mountain in the scenic area is free. It is very long and takes a long time to sit. At around 5:30, many people begin to queue up to take the bus down the mountain in Tianmendong Square. It is best to leave early. Regardless of whether the AB line is best or the first time period, go to the queue early. It's really invincible for many people.
Regardless of whether the cableway or the car goes up and down the mountain, the arrival time is the same (the car only goes to Tianmen Cave Square, which takes about half an hour). The last place where Line A leaves the scenic area is farther away from the train station than Line B, and there will be many people waiting for the bus to go out. If you want to catch the train like us, remember to reserve time.
※ Refer to the map above for the Tianmen Mountain route. The more famous attractions are concentrated on the east line + Tianmen Cave. The east and west lines have a very small section of glass plank road, which is crowded with people. If you don't have to go to the glass bridge, you can go and experience it.
Because the time was quite tight, we went back to the Ghost Valley Plank Road after taking photos. We took the escalator through the mountain to Tianmen Cave to take photos. There was free incense below for paying homage. Seeing that there was still some time, it took us some time to send postcards. Who knows when we came out, there were many people queuing up. I don't know if the elderly and children didn't have to queue up. Many children were playing in the middle, and the elderly sat aside. It was really late to get down the mountain, and there was not much time left before our train left. We had to fly a black train to the Central Bus Station to pick up our luggage. When we arrived at the train station, it was really just right, and the train was not delayed. After waiting for ten minutes, we could check in and get on the train, which gave us a feeling of fluke satisfaction.
Then we took the train back to Changsha. There were quite a lot of people. Like the tips above, someone came to ask you: "Is this your position?" Be sure to ask him to show his ticket when you get there! We were fooled like this. That person also had no seats. Later, when someone with a ticket came over, we realized that the young man's heaven is so reincarnation.

When I returned to Changsha, I had just clicked on the Didi before I realized that the tea color opposite the train station had not been turned off yet, so I had to wait until tomorrow to drink crazily. I went to the Tianbao Brothers to get my number first, and the rest of you went to the B & B to get my keys.
The crayfish in Changsha only recognized the Tianbao brothers. This is the only conclusion I think of such a strategy. Moreover, it was open quite late. It was already 1:30 p.m. and there were still people queuing up. It felt that the people of Changsha didn't have to sleep. I ordered flavored shrimp, stewed chicken feet, stewed pork knuckles, and steamed dumplings.
Flavor shrimp: It's very delicious and very sanitary. The shrimp lines and shrimp heads have been removed. The shrimp meat is firm and can be eaten quite fresh. The gloves are also very thick. Long Huanshen likes to eat it very much, but it's a little spicy. With a faint aroma of hops, I'm just as excited as they are. Four pounds for each person is not enough. We can add noodles. There seem to be some ingredients in it, but the spicy food is too spicy for us to dare not add noodles.
Stewed chicken feet and stewed pork fingers: Very delicious, the sauce is very delicious and the stewed is soft. In fact, they all have the same taste. Just order one and try it
Steamed dumplings: It's delicious. The sauce is also stewed chicken feet. The sauce is very similar, but it tastes more refreshing.
After so many days of torture, I couldn't hold on halfway through the meal, so I took a drip and went back to sleep before finishing the meal.
04Day5。Changsha South Railway Station-------Guangzhou South Railway Station
Finally, it's Changsha delicious food! I finally drink tea and look beautiful! I originally prepared a long list, but I was really tired. I went out late in the morning and didn't have time to go to the powder, so I went straight to a lamp. I highly recommend the location of this lamp!!! Because opposite his house is tea and beautiful!!! What a surprise! Moreover, this store is just ahead of Pozi Street, which also has a lot of delicious food inside. I drank tea crazily for the whole meal, and each person had 3 cups. Later, I felt that it was too little. I suggested that I pack it and order it in the city instead of going to the high-speed rail station. It was super invincible for many people. There were many branches in the city every few tens of meters, and there was one shop in line at each house.
Let's talk about the color of tea first. It's a super invincible recommendation. This is the best milk tea brand I have ever tasted!!! Xi tea and a little bit lost! No wonder there is no wedding tea in Changsha. His house is not only super delicious and cheap, but also has good service, fast shipping pace, and points can be exchanged for milk tea or gifts. There are really no shortcomings. Please come to Guangzhou quickly. The people of Guangzhou need you very much! You can also buy his tea with a letter. The small one is very cute and not expensive. Be careful not to walk away if it's almost your turn, because some teas can only be made when you are there, and you can add double cream or exchange pecans when ordering.
Shengsheng Wulong: The four of us agreed that it was the best drink! Very fresh fruit flavor and smooth milk flavor. I have never tasted this milk tea before. It is so delicious and happy to finish it in one go.
Youlan Latte: The hot one has cream on top and melts easily, so I will make sure you are present. It's quite sweet. I ordered half sugar just right, which is the kind girls would like. The tea base is also very delicious and the cream is not greasy. The overall situation is very good. I'm good with cream, so I prefer raw oolong.
I also ordered Matcha Bodhi Double Cream to remove the ice and be normal and sweet, and the fireworks of the world replaced the pistachios with pecans and the vines. The first two were both delicious, but I forgot the last one, but they were not as amazing as the first two.
Let's talk about a lamp. A lamp is really good for food. The bottom of each dish is deep and super large. It also serves the rice well. Don't order too much, you won't be able to finish it (I see many people have to pack it back). I ordered duck palm tendons, braised rice tofu, stir-fried shredded pork with sour radish, flavored winter melon, sour cabbage meat paste, cured rice, lard mixed flour, coriander beef, and white rice.
The most recommended cured rice! Super delicious, this combination of cured rice and raw oolong is simply a fairy set meal!!! I even want to stay in Changsha for them. As we all know, cured rice is a specialty food in Guangdong. I think Guangzhou's cured rice is delicious enough, but Guangzhou lost this cured rice. It is like fried cured rice. It is not only delicious but also very fragrant. How can there be such delicious cured rice? While sipping rice and sipping milk tea, he said that Guangzhou had lost.
The second is the duck's palm tendon. It is as spicy as it is delicious. The hottest is him and coriander beef, which must be washed with water before being eaten.
Everything else is delicious, but not as amazing as before. It's okay to mix lard with flour, but you don't need to order the rice tofu, it's just so-so.
Then, seeing that there was still time, I walked to Pozi Street to find black classics and Luoji stinky tofu to try it. I also passed by Sister Sijie Flour Restaurant, which originally planned to go to Sifen, was also here. Then we walked to Jinji Sugar and Oil Tuotuo Store. Next door is the Red Bull Noodle Store. Some local people also recommended it, but Jinji had too many people and had waited for a long time, so there was no time to eat.
I recommend Luoji stinky tofu. It's the delicious stinky tofu I used to eat in Guangzhou (it's gone now). It's very juicy, not very spicy, and it doesn't have a weird taste like the black classics after eating (black classics can be said to be terrible, and Wenheyou's is not delicious either. Basic Wenheyou locals will not recommend it). However, Luo Ji's sugar-oil cake is not pushed. It is very hard. It is not as delicious as the sugar-oil cake made by Sister Li Sijie in Tai Ping Street in Changsha last time.
If you want to buy sugar cakes, I recommend Jinji Sugar and Oil Tuotuo Store. It is cheap and very large, and the shipment is quite fast, but at least half an hour is reserved to queue up. However, it is only recommended to finish it in a short time, otherwise it will stick together and harden. Sister Li Si's smelly tofu cake on Taiping Street is relatively soft, like glutinous rice balls wrapped in a layer of crispy sugar oil. Jinji is a little harder on the outside than Sister Li, and it is also soft on the inside. In terms of taste, it is more delicious to Jinji, and there are also many delicious food around here.
Originally, I wanted to go to the high-speed rail to buy a tea and pack it up and drink it on the high-speed rail, but I forgot to order takeout all the way. There were many people queuing up when I got there, and it didn't take long for people like me to get to the high-speed rail station. I couldn't get greedy for land on the high-speed rail. Long Long and the Great God, who had packed oolong sounds during dinner, gave us a few bites, hahahaha.
I will come again in Changsha anyway! My delicious food list is still full!
Thank you very much to Dao Jiale for not bothering + keeping up with my abnormal schedule and making an appointment next year ~(*^℉ ^*)~
