written in front

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, my father said: "We don't want to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home this year. Our family has not been to Zhangjiajie yet, so let's go to Zhangjiajie to have fun together!" At the order of my father, as the official tour guide, I began to customize it privately. From formulating routes and time planning, to where to live and where to eat, etc., I, the official tour guide, do things like this. You can basically find strategies online, but it just takes time to find them.
After several days of searching for strategies, I made a route to visit Zhangjiajie thoroughly and spend a few days exploring it. The route plan is as follows:
Day 1: Chongqing drove to Zhangjiajie
Day 2: Visit Yangjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, and Yuanjiajie
Day 3: Jinbianxi, Shili Gallery
Day 4: Tianmen Mountain
Day 5: Zhangjiajie's eternal love

Recommended food and accommodation

I have stayed in two B & Bs in Zhangjiajie. One is near the Yangjiajie Cableway Station. It is an inn built by the local villagers themselves, called Tianqiao Inn. The other is in Wulingyuan District, near the gate of Wulingyuan, called Suoxi Shanju Boutique Hotel.
The owner of Tianqiao Inn's surname is Jin. I found it when I searched Zhangjiajie B & Bs on the Internet. There are room photos, itinerary, etc. On the website, I saw that this website was quite professional, and I immediately had a favorable impression of him. Then I saw that there was Boss Jin's phone number on the website, so I immediately called Boss Jin to inquire about what convenience would it be to live in his B & B? Boss Jin said that his B & B is close to the Yangjiajie Cableway Station and has a special large parking lot. It is no problem to park a few buses. Moreover, it can plan a route for us for a few days, and it is an elite route, so you don't have to take the wrong route. After all, Zhangjiajie is very large, but some attractions will be somewhat similar. Moreover, in the route planned by Boss Jin, there are attractions that ordinary tour groups do not visit: The sky countryside is also the best place to see the Hundred Dragons Ladder. In addition, the price of his room is not expensive. In the off-season, the price is only more than 100 yuan per room. It is equipped with 24-hour hot water, WIFI, air conditioning, and a restaurant. We also went to Yangjiajie cableway station to pick us up, so I immediately decided to stay at his house.

To be honest, when you walk into Boss Jin's Tianqiao Inn, your first impression is that it is very clean. The rooms are huge and the color is not dull. Each room has a large balcony. You can drink tea, chat and dry clothes. The 24-hour hot water is very reassuring. The B & B also provides washing machines and laundry detergent for free. I didn't expect that a B & B built by local villagers could be so big and beautiful, especially at night. You can see the big neon signs of the Tianqiao Inn far away on the highway. His home also has a large parking lot, covering an area of nearly a thousand square meters, and can park more than 30 cars. It is really convenient for self-driving friends, because parking is a big problem in most B & Bs in Zhangjiajie.

Let's talk about the dishes of Tianqiao Inn. His local chicken soup is real local chicken with a thick layer of yellow chicken oil floating on it. After taking a sip of the soup, I feel really comfortable. In addition, his vegetables are all grown by the hard-working boss herself. It is pure green and pollution-free. Coupled with the careful cooking of the boss, it is delicious! By the way, the landlady will also ask the guests whether to put MSG and chicken essence in it, which is really for the sake of the elderly guests! Anyway, my parents had a great time staying and eating, so this Tianqiao Inn is worth recommending.

Suoxi Mountain Residence Boutique Homestay
This store was recommended by a friend who had stayed there before. They said that it was located in Wulingyuan, very close to Zhangjiajie's ancient love. It only costs a few yuan to make a drip. Moreover, the room decoration is of a good quality, and the price is about 300 yuan. The hotel has 2 elevators. Very convenient.

Sure enough, this B & B hotel did not disappoint us. It has a strong modern pastoral style, simple and bright colors, and the room has both business and leisure functions. The toiletries are all of a very high-end brand. The towels and bedding are quite comfortable. There is a free breakfast every day. We eat in the glass sun room on the 6th floor. The meal is simple but nutritious. The room staff delivers free fruits every day. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, mooncakes are also kindly sent to the guests. The WIFI is super fast and the air conditioning is super cold. Parking in a nearby parking lot, the hotel reimbursed the parking fee, which was very nice!

Suoxi Shanzhai Xiangxi folk dishes
Suoxi Mountain Residence has its own Xiangxi restaurant, which is next to Xibu Street, close to each other. When I first arrived, I saw many foreign tourists at the door. Judging from their clothes, they were either Malaysian or Filipino. They were entering the restaurant happily for dinner. Every guest entered the restaurant to drink a glass of rice wine, and there was also a Mei singing a beautiful and pleasant Tujia love song. The atmosphere was quite lively, and these guests were smiling. At that time, I was thinking that a restaurant that even receives foreign tourists should have good dishes and environment, and I was looking forward to it.

We looked at the menu and thought the price was okay, so we ordered a few local specialties, including rock ear chicken soup, lower three pots, chopped pepper fish head, spicy cow devil king, dried dried vermicelli pot, half roast duck, fried bacon, cured rice. Not long after the service aunt dressed in national costumes poured tea for us, the dishes were served one after another.

Because I didn't order cold dishes, the first thing I served was dry fishing vermicelli pot. In fact, this dish should belong to a Cantonese dish. I used to love eating this dish in Cantonese restaurants. At first, I just ordered this dish in Suoxi Shanzhai with the attitude of giving it a try. I didn't expect that once it was served, it would be amazing. I was so surprised because it was really fried! The oily noodles are crystal clear, golden in color, and the aroma is also a familiar taste, making people very appetizing. Let's try the taste again. The moment I entered the mouth, I was completely overjoyed. Yes, that's right, this is the taste. I finally ate the super delicious and super familiar dry fishing vermicelli pot! I have eaten many dry rice noodle pot, but only the Suoxi Shanzhai in Zhangjiajie is the most authentic, and it is even more authentic than the Cantonese chefs in some Cantonese restaurants!

The fat and lean bacon and the green, scallion and yellow garlic sprouts are fried together. It is definitely the best combination. The aroma of the two is really beautiful. Moreover, I always think that the pork in Zhangjiajie, Hunan is very delicious, glutinous and fragrant, much like the New Year pig I ate as a guest in the countryside when I was a child.

The cured rice is some like pot rice, cooked together. This iron pot is also very unique and is no worse than the pot rice cooked in casserole. My father ate three bowls of this cured rice, which shows that this cured rice is really delicious.

The chopped pepper fish head looks very red, but it is actually not spicy. Compared with the chopped pepper fish head we ate in Changsha, it is slightly inferior. We blame ourselves for not telling the waiter to add more chopped pepper and taste it bigger.

Xiasanguo in Xiangxi is one of Zhangjiajie's specialty dishes series. It has a lot of content, one big pot of dishes.

My favorite is this rock ear chicken soup. Because when we visited Zhangjiajie before, we invited the nephew of the owner of Tianqiao Inn, Jin, to be our family's guide. This tour guide Jin was very professional and introduced many local specialties and scenery along the way. He also mentioned the rock ears in Zhangjiajie and said that they grow in the stone crevices of those mountains. It takes a lot of effort, time and is difficult to pick, and it is not easy to rot when stored. In addition, the rock ears are rich in nutrients, so they are very precious. Since Zaisuoxi Stronghold has such a rock ear stewed chicken and the price is not expensive, I definitely have to try it.
Sure enough, this rock ear chicken soup did not disappoint us. It was full of aroma when served on the table, and the color was very beautiful. After tasting it carefully, it had the unique aroma of wild fungus, but it was thinner and bigger. Stewed with the local chicken, it is really complementary and nutritious. It tastes great!

We were very satisfied with this dish, so we highly recommend Suoxi Shanzhai Xiangxi Local Food Restaurant. And next to it is Xibu Street. After dinner, you can walk ten meters to visit Xibu Street next to it. Xibu Street has a beautiful night view.

Zhangjiajie's eternal love

My parents have visited several places and love to watch Qiangu Qing's performances, especially my mother. She said that Qiangu Qing's performance is the best performance in China. She said that Qiangu Qing's chief tour guide Huang Qiaoling is more powerful than Zhang Moumou and Feng Mougang. Before retiring, my mother saw many large-scale scenic spots performances due to her work, and my mother spoke highly of Qiangu Qing. Coincidentally, Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie has also opened a new Eternal Love Scenic Area, so I have to go and see it anyway!

Zhangjiajie Qiangqing Scenic Area is located in Wulingyuan Scenic Area, the core scenic spot of Zhangjiajie. It has four theme areas: Dayong Ancient Street, Taoyuan Secret Realm, Lovers 'Sea, and Rotten Apple Parent-Child Paradise. It is suitable for young and old to enjoy fun, sunny or rainy.
Why is it suitable for sunny and rainy days? It is because there is an ancient street in Dayong, with a large sunshed on the top. You don't have to be afraid of heavy rain and sun exposure. Activities such as flash shows and ancient street patrols are all held on Dayong Ancient Street. I have to say that the actors of Qianguqing are all very good-looking, the girls are all young and beautiful, and the boys are also handsome. Walking on Dayong Ancient Street to see these beauties is so pleasing to the eye!

There was also a toast recruiting a son-in-law, which was also wonderful and hilarious. The plot of the story is the same as other Tusi recruiting sons-in-law, where the Tusi master selects a son-in-law for his marriageable daughter. He also uses the method of throwing hydrangea balls to select the male officials who receive the hydrangea balls under the stage.
What is even more exciting about the tusi recruitment competition in Zhangjiajie is that the tusi master's witty words and a high talent for comedy, and the son-in-law he selected was also very funny. I don't know if he was born with a sense of comedy, but as soon as he came on stage, this son-in-law's expressions were extremely rich, and his various funny expressions made other spectators laugh. When the mother-in-law asked the son-in-law what degree he had, the son-in-law only hesitated for a second and then replied: Top scorer, haha, it seems that this is a son-in-law who often reads ancient travel novels. What makes people even more laugh is that when this son-in-law called his father-in-law, he shouted loudly: "Dad!" At this time, bursts of laughter broke out under the stage, and all the tourists were already at their peak.
Then my mother said, was it Qiangu Qing's own actor? She cooperated so well. As a result, after this son-in-law stepped down, he was discovered by his sharp-eyed father. He was with several friends and was holding a 3-year-old child in his arms. So my father asserted that this son-in-law was definitely not an actor of Qiangu Qing, but just a tourist audience who was temporarily pulled in. He was just born with a talent for comedy. Coupled with the persuasion of the Tusi Master, he became a obedient son-in-law who was willing to call him father. Haha! I want to give a big praise to the toast master!

Lovers Sea has Lovers Bridge, Lovers Harbor and sandy beaches, making it a good place for young people to relax. There are two performances of floating trapeze in Lovers 'Sea every day, which are also very exciting. Especially the young man who performs knows how to have fun with the people and will deliberately bring some water to the audience, making the audience scream and burst into laughter. I think there are still many children who deliberately get close together just to be poured on by water, haha.
There is also a bonfire party, which is also an activity that makes tourists very happy. When the host lights the bonfire, the actors will sing and dance around the torches. They will also invite the surrounding audience to join in. You patted me and I patted, everyone photographed together, parents also joined in, and they danced happily together. Dance. This is what the Eternal Love does well. It not only performs for tourists, but also allows tourists to participate in it and have fun together.

For children, the eternal love is also a paradise for play. Not only can they run and jump in shallow waters and float on the water with complete martial arts skills, they can also play with sand wantonly in the beach area. Even little children can be escorted by adults to play with the wooden suspension bridge. In short, the children are very happy!

There are also many fun projects in the Rotten Apple Parent-Child Park, all of which are free. The Rotten Apple Parent-Child Park has dozens of parent-child rides such as jungle adventure, carousels, naughty castles, bumper cars, etc. The whole family can have fun from 9 a.m. 30 a.m. You can play until 19:30 p.m., which is really a good deal.

There is also a cultural wall in the hall of Qiangu Qing Theater, which allows you to learn about the development and future of Qiangu Qing, the life story of chief director Huang Qiaoling, and the introduction of Qiangu Qing in various places.
High-tech experience projects such as the Ghost Catcher House in the Taoyuan Secret Realm, the Chiyou Storm Hall, the Qingming Shanghetu Film Museum, and the Strange Street have been full of surprises.
Intangible cultural heritage and handicraft workshops such as Tujia brocade, Hunan embroidery, Nuo opera masks, sugar painting, making glutinous rice cakes, and pottery workshops gather in Dayong Ancient Street to experience the charm of intangible cultural heritage culture up close.

The sugar-oil cake and kudzu root powder at the first shop in Dayong Ancient Street are quite delicious. The sugar-oil cake is crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside. The aroma and sweetness of glutinous rice are just right and it is not greasy at all. The price is not expensive. The sugar-oil cake is 5 yuan for 5 pieces; There is also his kudzu root powder that is also very commendable. We ate two kinds. Our parents ate hot freshly brewed kudzu root powder, and we two young people ate frozen and solidified kudzu root powder. Personally, I think that on hot days, the frozen ones are more soothing. They are put on them with brown sugar, white sugar, Zhima Mountain, and raisins. They are fragrant and sweet and delicious. The kudzu root powder costs 15 yuan per bowl. There are also a variety of other delicious snacks that taste and smell very good and the prices are very affordable.

My parents played around, laughed from time to time, and tasted many delicious snacks along the way. You can see from the smiles that they were very happy. There is a saying that true filial piety is the companionship of true feelings. I personally think that taking my parents to travel with me is also a kind of filial piety and a kind of companionship. Let's take my parents out for a walk while they are still healthy.

Performance at Qiangu Qing Theater
When it comes to the blockbuster drama of eternal love, it must be a performance in the theater. The large-scale song and dance "Zhangjiajie Eternal Love", the core project of the scenic spot, is a must-see performance in a lifetime. You must experience a feast of art and technology.
This theater is a very high-tech theater: 300 cast members, 3000 people watching at the same time, and 10 times the stage means of the Las Vegas Show are spread across the stage area and auditorium area;50 new stage inventions, thousands of square meters of ultra-clear LED screen, presenting the effect of heaven and earth and surprise, allowing the audience to always be immersed in the performance; Immersively admire the magical craftsmanship of nature, the colorful underwater world, the dreamlike Wuling Wonderland, and the magical and spectacular 3000-ton flood that poured down in an instant.

Preface to "The Canghai Sang Tian" The beauty of extraordinary craftsmanship created by hundreds of millions of years of geological changes
380 million years ago, a violent orogenic movement occurred in Zhangjiajie. The plate lifted and flowing water eroded, causing strange peaks to rise from the ground, creating the extraordinary beauty of Zhangjiajie. Live performances and high-tech means restored the crustal movement of Zhangjiajie hundreds of millions of years ago. Tens of thousands of point light sources and drones turned the entire theater into a fantasy underwater world in an instant.

The first "Wuling Wonderland" is a paradise outside the world that "fragrant grass is delicious and colorful" in Tao Yuanming's works
The dreamy Zhangjiajie is like the junction of heaven and the world, making people imagine. The performance greatly innovated the expression of traditional dances and traditional folk customs. Dozens of beautiful actors descended to the earth like fairies, rendering Zhangjiajie's water spirit, fog, and flower beauty to the extreme.

The second scene of "The Legend of Tianzi Mountain" is the heroic legend of the emperor touching the sky and the earth
Tianzi Mountain is named after the king of Tianzi. In Wulingyuan, almost every stone peak and canyon is related to the battle against the king. The mountains and rivers here give birth to the feelings of Tujia children who dare to love, hate, and dare to act and take responsibility. The performance created the two roles of Tujia heroes Xiang Dakun and Jin Mei, and interpreted the moving legends of Tianzi Mountain and Jinbianxi.

The third scene "Past Events in a Small Town": The Xiangxi Style of Shen Congwen's Hometown Border Town
In Xiangxi, in the beautiful and beautiful scenery, ethnic minorities such as Tujia, Bai, Miao, and Yao live in harmony. They live in water and make their homes close to mountains, jointly nurturing natural, simple and peaceful customs. The performance used a holographic stage to present the quiet border town and small town written by Shen Congwen. The sunrise was accompanied by the stream, and the night was slept with fireflies. A river of spring water, a boat song, a curtain of dreams, one person, a lifetime, allowing tourists to experience the beautiful poems of ZUI in western Hunan.

The fourth scene of "Masang Tree" The red love song of Masang Tree building a lantern...
Zhangjiajie is a red hot land, the growth and birthplace of the Second Red Front Army, and the hometown of Marshal He Long. During the Great Revolution, more than 40,000 Zhangjiajie sons and daughters sacrificed their precious lives for the revolution. The performance used movie montage techniques and fierce war scenes to reproduce the earth-moving revolutionary spirit of the Red Army soldiers and the unyielding persistence and perseverance of the women behind the heroes. Millions of horse and mulberry leaves form thousands of square meters of aerial forest, which are parachuted to the top of the audience and are within reach.
The Masangshu scene made me cry from the beginning to the end. The tears fell uncontrollably. It was so touching that I almost choked up in the end.

At the end of "Love in Xiangxi", the three-dimensional space of water, land and air sings the legend of truth, goodness and beauty in Xiaoxiang through time and space
Great beauty is speechless, but mountains and rivers have love. Xiangxi, this land of love, has heroes appearing in large numbers and Xiangnan women are passionate. Flying down waterfalls, elves soaring in the sky, and magnificent hanging mountains... pairs of lovers led the audience through the dreamy mountains and rivers of Zhangjiajie, shuttling through the vicissitudes of history.

I have seen almost all the ancient feelings. Zhangjiajie's ancient feelings theater performance is refreshing. It not only continues its excellent aspects, but also provides many breakthroughs. It is quite worth seeing, especially the scene at Masangshu, which is really touching!

The ordinary seats for Zhangjiajie's Eternal Love Performance are 260 yuan/person, the VIP seats are 270 yuan/person, and the luxurious seats are 380 yuan/person, all including scenic spots tickets. However, on different holidays, tickets will also be adjusted according to the market. Ticket prices can be checked through various sales channels before purchasing.

How to play Zhangjiajie Forest Park and Tianmen Mountain Park

This is very important and needs to be carefully read:
Zhangjiajie is very large and is mainly divided into Zhangjiajie Forest Park and Tianmenshan Park, while Zhangjiajie Forest Park is divided into five major scenic spots: Yangjiajie Scenic Area, Yuanjiajie Avatar Scenic Area, Forest Park Scenic Area, Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area, and Suoxiyu Scenic Area. Tickets for the entire Zhangjiajie Forest Park are 225 yuan plus 3 yuan per person for insurance. They are valid for 4 days. Zhangjiajie Forest Park is state-owned, so in Zhangjiajie Forest Park, people over 65 years old are free of charge. They only need to purchase 3 yuan insurance. Even several cableways in the forest park are free for 65 years old. Moreover, the ticket includes environmentally friendly vehicles in the scenic area. Almost all minibuses and buses are free, but the battery car to the sky countryside requires a charge, and a round-trip ticket of 50 yuan is required.
However, there are not many tourists visiting the Sky Garden. It is currently a relatively unpopular attraction, but it is worth a visit.

Tianmen Mountain is said to be private. The Tianmen Mountain Gate ticket is 228 yuan, and 65-year-old people are only free of admission, so they are not exempt from cableway tickets. However, the cableway ticket for 65-year-old people only costs half price of 93 yuan per person, while the cableway ticket for adults is 183 yuan. Tianmen Mountain only receives 10,000 people a day, so you have to book in advance. If you don't book Tianmen Mountain Gate tickets in advance, you can't buy tickets that day. Tickets include the longest cableway in Tianmen Mountain, about 40 minutes, the glass plank road, the Ghost Valley plank road, 7 escalators (only including the 7 sections of the escalator through the mountain, tickets for the next 5 sections), scenic area eco-friendly vehicles, glass plank road shoe covers 5 yuan, self-care.

Because there are too many tourists, Tianmen Mountain is now divided into Line A, Line B and Line C.
Line A is (cableway up the mountain, bus down the mountain) and is divided into morning and afternoon sessions. The ride time for a single ticket is 1 hour. Example: For example, if the ticket you bought shows that the time period is 9:00 a.m. -10:00 a.m., you need to go to the check-in and enter the station during this time period. Going there in advance will be invalid.
Line B is the time period when buses go up the mountain and cableways go down the mountain. Like cableways, buses and cableways need to be purchased. But few people will take Route B unless during summer vacation and peak season of Chinese New Year.
Line C is without taking the cableway throughout the journey (on and off the bus), which is especially suitable for people who are afraid of heights.
It is worth noting that after Line A goes up the mountain, it goes straight down, so when you take the Tianmen Dongtian staircase steps, you can walk down slowly without taking the elevator, but the other two tickets will not work.
What if I miss the time period? Tourists who arrive more than one hour late for the appointed time period will be arranged by the scenic area to enter the park at the last time period. So please go on time, as even in the off-season, you have to queue up for more than an hour.

This time, except Huangshi Village, he went to all these other places and saw the aerial countryside that ordinary tour groups rarely visit. This itinerary was formulated with the help of Boss Jin of Tianqiao Inn. Boss Jin helped buy the tickets and Boss Jin helped find a one-day tour guide. The tour guide is his nephew, and the industry price is 150 yuan a day. His nephew is a very dedicated tour guide. He is also very professional and tells us many attractions and anecdotes along the way. Personally, I feel that when traveling in Zhangjiajie, you must find a local person who knows the industry to help book the itinerary and buy tickets, and spend another 150 yuan to hire a tour guide, which will save you a lot of trouble.

On the first day, we took the cableway up the mountain from Yangjiajie. We went to the Sky Farmland immediately, then we went to Tianzi Mountain, and went to Yuanjiajie in the afternoon. Finally, we still took the cableway down the mountain from Yangjiajie. With this arrangement, we can see the essence of the mountain. We don't have to walk the wrong way. After all, we don't have to walk all the way with the elderly and the weather is hot. For example, Tianbo Prefecture and Bandits Village on the top of Yangjiajie are unable to take the elderly to climb it. The road is not good and dangerous.

Yangjiajie's aerial countryside requires a 50-yuan battery car to travel back and forth, and a 2-yuan platform fee for local villagers at the observation deck. 50 yuan and 2 yuan are not much, but I don't think it's a big deal. I bought the tickets for Zhangjiajie. If I want to see one of the scenes, I have to pay extra money. Finally, I heard that the scene of the Sky Pastoral was privately contracted. Since the park recognizes it, it's better to pay honestly, and my arms can't twist my thighs.

But then again, the scenery of the pastoral sky is really beautiful. The local people have opened up farmland on the top of the mountain to grow crops. Moreover, the field is divided into different planting plates to grow different crops. Therefore, the colors are different, and the result has become a very beautiful oil painting. This is the result of the local people's hard work to adapt to local conditions. Now it has become a good viewing spot, and you can still see the Hundred Dragons Ladder opposite here. Unfortunately, today's weather is very bad, like covered with a layer of white gauze. What are you looking at? Everything is foggy. If you say it's really shrouded in clouds and mist, then it'll be beautiful again. What a pity.

tianzishan
Our Jin tour guide said that the important attractions in Tianzi Mountain are mainly to see the emperor and the beautiful women. The emperor is Yubi Peak, and the beautiful women are the fairies scattered flowers. We went to these two places first.
The picture below shows a fairy spreading flowers. It seems that the fairy is holding a flower basket in her hand. The tour guide said that when looking at Zhangjiajie, you must rely on imagination, otherwise these stones will just be stones, and you must give full play to your imagination, haha.

The fairy scattered flowers looked at it, and then went to the Imperial Brush Peak in the picture below. It did look like rows of brushes hanging, but how did it hook with the emperor's Imperial Brush? It is unknown.

Later, we went to Yun Qingyan and saw a stone door here. The Jin tour guide said that the 86 version of Journey to the West had been photographed here. This place is the place where the White Bones transformed into an old lady. The Story of Suppression of Bandits on Wulong Mountain was also photographed here. However, this place is no longer allowed to enter and exit. As he was talking, he saw a local mountain dweller rushing away. Alas, I felt so strange at that time.

When we saw the foreigner communicating with the local mountain people in fluent Mandarin, we realized that the foreign tourist's aerial camera had disappeared here because the interference was too great and we didn't listen to instructions. We also felt some interference when flying there in the fairy scattered flowers. The handsome foreign guy offered 1,000 yuan to ask several mountain people to help find it back. However, the ideals were full, the reality was bony, and the possibility of finding it back was relatively slim.

There are many delicious snacks here in Tianzi Mountain, where you can rest and eat here. Fried rice, noodles, dumplings, etc. start at 10 yuan, and there is also a buffet for tens of yuan. The first restaurant has a young man who sells kudzu crispy crispy, which is not bad. Not very sweet, and the price is also cheap. You can buy two packs for 30 yuan, which can be regarded as a cheap and good health food.
the yuanjiajie
The Yuan family's realm mainly focuses on viewing the No. 1 Bridge in the World and the Xuanfu Mountain in Avatar.
The first bridge in the world, with two peaks connected by a corridor, forming a natural bridge hole. It usually smokes clouds and breathes smoke, and its momentum is spectacular. The bridge deck is about two meters wide, more than 20 meters long, and an absolute height of 350 meters. The pine trees are tall and straight on the bridge, and ancient vines hang from the bridge, making it unfathomable under the bridge. Walking on the bridge, I saw the mist rising, the pine waves roaring, and the stone bridge seemed to tremble, shaking and shaking, which was shocking. This is also the spot with the most tourists in Wulingyuan.
Moving forward, we walked to Xuanfushan, where the movie "Avatar" was filmed, and heard our tour guide say that this place is very popular and the best location to take pictures in the middle of the chain bridge is, but there are also many tourists here, and we have to wait until others finish taking pictures. Only then can we take pictures in turn. The picture below shows Xuanfu Mountain, which is indeed spectacular.

There are monkeys here in the Yuan Family Realm. They are not afraid of people at all. They swaggered for something to eat, and if they really don't give it, they will snatch it. My father ate the candy and gave it to the monkey. The monkey calmly took it and slowly ate it before leaving. It feels like they are very familiar. Hahaha, the cooperation is very tacit. Overall, my parents had a great time here.
On the next day, in Jinbian Creek, there were more monkeys, all of whom were naughty and lively, which made everyone happy.

Jinbian Creek is a valley. It is about 7 kilometers away from the stream at the foot of the mountain. Along the way, birds sing and flowers are lush and lush, and it is very cool. There is no sun at all. There are stone benches on the road for tourists to rest, so walking down this road, I am not tired at all, and you can see many monkeys near the exit. That small appearance is really funny.
These monkeys are very brave and are not afraid of the many tourists passing by. They dare to stand in front of people and take away the food in your hand. They will quietly follow tourists carrying pockets, ready to steal the tourists 'bags containing food at any time, and will even eat after eating. They will keep barking in their mouths and continue to think about what the tourists give them. They are very smart, and they also make the tourists laugh and have to take more pictures. The funniest thing is that my father likes to get close to these monkeys, but my mother holds a climbing pole and threatens these monkeys not to get close, which makes the monkeys feel very embarrassed and puzzled, completely bursting into laughter.

There is a free bus going directly to Shili Gallery when you come out of Jinbian Creek. In fact, I personally think that the scenery of Shili Gallery is very average, which is far from that of Jinbian River. In addition to the small train that is more than one kilometer each way, the small train is not cheap. The round trip cost about 60 yuan. The other scenery is really nothing to watch. It is a tourist attraction that you can completely give up.
In fact, we were confused. We should take the small train when we go there and walk when we come back. Train tickets can be bought one-way, but 65-year-old people still have half-price tickets. Because going uphill and coming back downhill, walking back will save money and effort!

Give Mr. P. a single photo. Mr. P has worked hard. He also has a SLR and a stabilizer, and also has to carry an aerial camera. Indeed, as Mr. P himself said, he works hard, haha.

In the square of Shili Gallery, I happened to see the Zhangjiajie Scenic Area filming a National Day promotional video. The actors were all employees of the scenic area and sang Wang Feng's "I Love You China". The employees of these scenic areas sang very seriously and emotionally. I also burst into tears when I heard it, and my whole mind was filled with pride. I love you China! Dear Mother!

Tianmen Mountain

Tianmenshan cableway is the world's longest alpine passenger cableway. The total length of the cableway is 7455 meters. It is one of the few cableways in China with a height difference exceeding a thousand meters. Almost everyone who goes to Tianmen Mountain comes for the cableway that takes half an hour to ride the entire journey. Take the cableway and see through the car glass as it passes through the city sky, through villages, through canyons and lakes. Along the way, you can also enjoy the 99-turn winding mountain road, and finally reach Tianmen Mountain, which is more than 1000 meters.
However, the cableway queuing on Line A is really a very troublesome thing. It takes more than an hour to queue in the off-season. Moreover, in the queuing hall in summer, there is almost no wind and no air conditioning. All tourists are like sardines cans. Being forced in, it is much hotter than taking a sauna. Taking a sauna, you can also leave when it's hot or run when it's boring. In this queuing hall, there are many rows in winding circles. The first floor is full of people, and the second floor continues to be full of people. It's impossible to leave. Even going to the toilet is a difficult thing, which is hard for old people like my mother, who are nervous and anxious. I also saw those children queuing up, their hair was all wet and they were crying loudly, but their parents couldn't help it. They had bought the tickets, and it was stipulated that the line was A and they had to go up the mountain from the cableway. Anyway, I wouldn't come here again at Tianmen Mountain if I was beaten to death. The queuing has consumed all my passion, and it still makes me grind my teeth in hatred and want to cry without tears.

Tianmen Mountain, known as Yunmeng Mountain in ancient times, has a history of 1754 years. The top of the mountain is relatively flat, preserving a complete primeval sub-forest, and contains many extremely precious and unique plant varieties. When you come to Tianmen Mountain, you must go around the outermost corridor. The top of the mountain is mainly divided into the east and west routes. After going up the mountain, you can start from the west line and walk around the top of the mountain. Finally, you can return to Tianmen Cave elevator and take the ladder to Tianmen Cave. By the way, the glass plank road is not scary at all. The glass is still full of traces of shoes. I can't see clearly below, so I can only stick my head out to see, but here you can see the panoramic view of Route 99 Guipanshan Highway.

Let's talk about it again, there are 7 sections of this mountain-crossing escalator, which are included in the ticket. The lower 5 sections, that is, the 5 sections from Tianmen Cave to Tianmen Cave Square, require additional tickets and are specially set up for people who are afraid of heights. After all, this 999-step staircase is really steep and dangerous. You must be careful to get off the stairs. I even take photos with fear, careful and careful, but people who are not afraid of heights must experience it. This staircase is quite interesting and challenging. My parents all walked down to get a feel for it and didn't take the escalator. Just be careful.

Summarize the attractions of Zhangjiajie: Eternal Love is a must-go, and Eternal Love performances are must-see. As for Zhangjiajie Forest Park, it only takes two days to tour. On the first day, we will visit Yangjiajie Cableway-Sky Pastoral-Tianzi Mountain-Yuanjiajie. On the second day, we will visit Jinbian River and Huangshi Village. People can give up Shili Gallery, but the scenery is very ordinary. We delayed going to Huangshi Village because we went to Shili Gallery, so we will leave our regrets for the next time. You don't have to go Tianmen Mountain if you don't have time. If you really want to go, then choose Line B or Line C. Line A is really tormenting! Unless you live next to the ticket hall and queue up early in the morning.
Finally, I sincerely wish all parents in the world happiness and health!
