Travel is a cultivation of mood.

Another meaning of travel is to discover beauty in places where others are tired of living!

The road is winding, and what attracts you is always the distance.

For a travel enthusiast, Zhangjiajie, Hunan is a place to visit. If you are tired of the sea of people and rows of shops in the scenic area and want to find a place where your soul can relax and relax, the secret realm of Zhangjiajie is a place to consider.

Life insights:

After retirement, traveling has become an important part of my life and a habit. If I don't go out for a walk every once in a while, it feels like something is missing. I feel itchy in my heart, like grass has grown, I don't sleep well, and I don't eat well. That's weird. As long as I walk out, everything will be fine. During the journey, climb mountains, walk through rivers, walk into ancient villages, admire red classics, and feel the majesty and beauty of the mountains and rivers of the motherland.

Foreword;

Zhangjiajie City, Hunan:

Zhangjiajie City is located in the northwest of Hunan, in the hinterland of the Wuling Mountains. Zhangjiajie City, built and prospered by tourism, has scenery that amazes the world. As the saying goes, Jiuzhaigou looks at the water, and Zhangjiajie looks at the mountains.

Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie, Hunan:

Tianmen Mountain, known as Yunmeng Mountain and Songliang Mountain in ancient times, is the highest mountain in Yongding District of Zhangjiajie. It is only 8 kilometers away from the Urban area. It is named after the natural wonder Tianmendong Gate and is the first famous mountain to be recorded in history. In December 1992, Wulingyuan Natural Scenic Area, which consists of three major scenic spots: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Suoxiyu and Tianzi Mountain, was included in the World Natural Heritage List by UNESCO.

Memory: For Qingdao people from the seaside, they may have watched the beautiful scenery of the sea for too long. The attraction of the sea is no longer so strong. I always look forward to the scenery of various places in Zhangjiajie City, Hunan. I yearn for the long history of Zhangjiajie City and the beautiful scenery of Zhangjiajie City. The unforgettable Zhangjiajie food always affects and attracts me. The wonderful imagination that travels through time and space forces me to embark on this mysterious journey.

Budget for self-driving travel:

According to my travel experience, as long as you don't purchase items for long-distance self-driving travel, stay in express hotels or farmhouses, don't eat too lavishly, and reduce the cost of visiting scenic spots, the couple can basically guarantee all expenses for 400 yuan per day.

Day2: Tianmen Mountain Cableway in Zhangjiajie [Ticket Purchase]

The Tianmen Mountain Cableway starts from the city garden in the center of Zhangjiajie City and goes straight to the original sky garden on the top of Tianmen Mountain. It is like a rainbow flying across the sky on earth, and like a giant dragon soaring into the sky. It is leaning against the mountain wall and the ground rises into the sky. It is magnificent and spectacular. It has become one of the four wonders of Tianmen Mountain Tourism Scenic Area, adding another unparalleled wonder to Zhangjiajie, a world-class scenic spot.

The Tianmenshan cableway line has a slope length of 7455 meters, and the horizontal height difference between the upper and lower stations is 1279 meters. It is the world's longest single-line cyclic un-hook cable-type cableway with a maximum slope of 38 degrees, which is rare in China and even in the world.

Day2: Looking at Tianmen Mountain in the fog [Take a cableway through the fog to see Tianmen Mountain]

Tianmen Mountain, known as Yunmeng Mountain and Songliang Mountain in ancient times, is the highest mountain in Yongding District of Zhangjiajie. It is only 8 kilometers away from the Urban area. It is named after the natural wonder Tianmendong Gate and is the first famous mountain to be recorded in history.

In the sixth year of Wu Yong 'an in the Three Kingdoms, the cliffs of Songliang Mountain suddenly opened open, making it as clear as a gate, forming a rare wonder of the world-Tianmen Cave. From then on, it was named Tianmen Mountain.

The top of Tianmen Mountain is relatively flat and maintains a complete primitive secondary forest. It has many extremely precious and unique plant varieties, with a forest coverage rate of 90%.

Tianmen Mountain has ancient trees that are towering into the sky, intertwined with vines, and covered with moss. Stalagmites and stone buds are everywhere like natural bonsai. It is praised as the most beautiful sky garden and celestial fairyland in the world.

Tianmen Mountain is known as the first sacred mountain in western Hunan. Over the past thousands of years, six mysterious mysteries have emerged one after another: the opening of Tianmen Cave, the overturning of Tianmen Water, the turning of Tianmen, the concealment of hidden treasures in the wild, the development of ghost valleys, and the auspicious beasts in Tianmen. Add a strange and strange feeling here.

Day2: Li Na Villa

Singer Li Na once shocked the music world with her loud song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau". In May 1997, when Li Na's career was at the peak of her life, she was invited by a friend to play on Tianmen Mountain. Seeing the strange mountains, clear waters, and simple feelings here, she resolutely decided to hide her identity and retire from Tianmen.

She not only designed and spent huge sums of money to build a prefabricated house, but also transferred her household registration to Zhangjiajie.

The small plank house built for Li Na at that time was named Li Na Hut.

After Li Na retired, Li Na's cabin was also rebuilt and named Li Na Villa.

Day2: Tianmen Mountain Glass Plank Road

The glass plank road is located 500 meters away from the starting position of the Ghost Valley plank road on Tianmen Mountain. This is a fork in the road. For those who like excitement, you can choose to walk this way, or otherwise you can go around the stone road next to it.

The glass plank road is a suspended glass corridor built on a mountain in September 2011.

The glass plank road is made of hard tempered glass, surrounded by metal railings, and transparent glass at the foot. It is 60 meters long, the highest point is 1430 meters above sea level and 1.6 meters wide. Walking through it can strengthen your courage. Don't go if you are timid.

Tianmen Mountain Glass Plank Road

Day2: Ghost Valley Plank Road

Ghost Valley Plank Road is located in the Fairy Seeking Wonderland Scenic Area. It is named because it hangs along the cliff on the upper side of Ghost Valley Cave.

The Guigu Plank Road has a total length of 1600 meters and an average altitude of 1400 meters. It starts from Yihongguan and ends at Xiaotianmen.

The entire Ghost Valley Plank Road is neither on the top of the cliff nor on the side of the cliff. Instead, the entire line stands in the middle of the cliff, giving people the feeling of rising and falling with the cliff.

Standing on the plank road overlooking the mountains, the ancients would climb the top of the mountain, and the feeling of seeing all the mountains spontaneously arises.

Day2: Looking down at Tianmen from the south

Looking down on Tianmen in the north and facing off on Tianmen in the south, this is also an excellent angle to clearly overlook Tianmen Gate.

Day2: Lingquan

The water from Lingquan gushed out from the rock gaps on the left and poured into the pool. When the water was full, it overflowed into the inclined ditch and flew along the ditch to the entrance of Tianmen. It was plum blossom rain.

This is Lingquan, which is called Shenquan by locals. We can feel a kind of piety from the red cloth strips hanging on the trees.

lingquan

The spring water of Lingquan is cool and sweet. Although the water flow is not large, it is not exhausted at all seasons. What is even more peculiar is that the "Yuezhou Prefecture Annals" of the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty once recorded that Tianmen Lingquan, on the top of Tianmen Mountain, fish grow green hair in the spring.

Locals say that Lingquan water has eight virtues. After drinking it, it can make people feel clear, cool, fragrant, soft, sweet, clean, hungry, and thirsty.

Day2: Tianmen turn over water

The Tianmen overflows and is formed on cliffs several kilometers above sea level. Normally, even after particularly heavy rain, the water will not hang. However, sometimes during drought, floods will rush in and fall straight from the cliff. The sound is particularly loud and spectacular, forming such a spectacle.

A spectacle such as the Tianmen's Gate turning over the water only occurs once in more than ten or decades, and each time it ends in only ten or fifteen minutes. This landscape has also become a mystery. Waiting for more people to explore.

Day2: Return to the cableway station [Due to the weather, the cableway station cannot be opened, and Tianmen Cave cannot be reached. I go down the mountain with regret]

Taking the cableway down the mountain, the fog seems to have subsided, and the beautiful scenery of the mountains in the distance can be clearly seen.

Traveling may not necessarily cost much money, but not traveling may not necessarily save much money or become rich. In life, there are not many moments that truly belong to you. Living according to your mind is the best life. Take advantage of the sun and the breeze is not dry to meet the people you want to see and the scenery you want to see. This is a beautiful life

The mountains, rivers and waters along the way are connected by mountains and rivers and rolling. The winding road winding on the mountainside winds around the green mountains like streamers, becoming a unique and beautiful scenery. The hazy distant mountains are shrouded in a layer of light gauze, and they are shrouded in shadows. They are sometimes far and near in the ethereal clouds and mist. When they see this scene, they just want to sigh with emotion: "This scene should only exist in the sky. How many times can I hear it in the world?"

Sense of travel: I am originally a person who loves to move around. I have walked through countless mountains and rivers, rivers and lakes, from the paradise on earth in the south, to the ice city of Harbin in the north, to the Mohe River in the northernmost part of China to seek the north, and from the colorful clouds in the west. To the south, to the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea in the east, and Putuo, which has visited the East China Sea. I will continue to travel south to Hainan, from the Central Plains to Sichuan and Lhasa in the southwest, and from Gansu and Shaanxi to Xinjiang in the northwest. I will be in this place I love and yearn for, looking for highlights of the itinerary. And carefully record it, most of the love for a place is for someone, something or experience, as well as the beautiful scenery. Friends should travel to Zhangjiajie City.
