Since I took a tour around Qinghai Lake in June 2018, I was dragged by my family LD for the first time to travel abroad during the Spring Festival of 2019 in more than two years. Why did I use the helpless word "be"? I have been going out to play and always going around the country. In my 40s, I have never been out of the country. I have gone out with my children a few times at home, and then they said that I am a country bumpkin and don't want to go and see the outside world. To be honest, I wouldn't like to visit the outside world, but their preferred travel destination is Tokyo, a neighboring country surrounded by water. To be honest, I wasn't very interested in this country in my virgin foreign travel, but in the end, I still insisted on it at home and took a trip, which more or less broadened my horizons and tastes, but it was not what I expected. I only stayed there for four or five days, and I had a superficial impression of the place. After all, I knew a lot about all aspects of the country from the knowledge I learned from various information media. Therefore, although I went abroad this time, I felt like I was just going to the next door. It was just a visit to my neighbor. Nothing gave me a lot of novelty. During the summer vacation of 2019, because there were too many work matters at work at the unit and no holidays could be arranged. During the summer vacation, I took my child to play at Maya Beach in Sheshan, Songjiang. During the past two years, I have returned to my hometown several times. During the National Day, I have visited Tiantai and Hangzhou for two or three days. I have also gone to Mingyue Mountain in Jiangxi to soak in the hot springs with several college classmates and best friends. These short journeys will not be mentioned for the time being.

The sudden COVID-19 epidemic at the beginning of this year has brought unexpected situations to everyone, and its impact on the world has not yet faded. Fortunately, I live under the warm sunshine of socialism. My country was the first to control the epidemic. The advantages of the whole country's system were vividly demonstrated. How important is the party's wise and powerful leadership! Must give a big praise! As the epidemic has affected the work progress of the unit, we have had six breaks starting from March in the first half of the year, and have done six breaks for four months. To be honest, I am truly tired! Over the past four months, I have been relying on the idea of taking half a month's high temperature leave and flying, and counting down! Of course, he was also thinking about where to go? In 2019, two strategies were made. One was to go to the Xilingol Grassland, and the other was to go to Henan to experience the culture of the Central Plains. But going to the grassland at the end of August is no longer the season. There is also going to the grassland. I think it is more interesting to organize two or more families. The strategy for going to Henan was to be done around May Day in 2019. At that time, I was very excited, but this year I suddenly felt that I was no longer interested. I will leave the guide for visiting these two places for the time being, and you can use it when you have the next opportunity. It was also June and July, and the final destination had not yet been determined. Instead, it was made a mess by work matters. Some people's shady behavior, false behavior, and old-fashioned style made me angry during this period. In the end, I survived with the support of the company's leaders. The mountains and rivers are exhausted and there is no way out, and another village is dark and flowers are bright. We also welcomed the father and son's travel destination-Zhangjiajie Xiangxi. Going to this place has a long history, but we just decided to go at that time, but I don't know how it came out. It can be regarded as a trip that you just want to go! Of course, it's a little different from people who want to leave as they please. I still did some homework, planned my itinerary, and selected several scenic spots. The most important thing is that this is the first time that our father and son have traveled together without anyone else. He can experience the pure fatherly love, and I can also enjoy the joy of communicating with my son!

DAY1

August 20:

After working hard for the past few months, my strenuous work finally came to an end. Especially in early August, I had a tooth decay.

I was tortured to death, and finally spent thousands of dollars in a top-three hospital to get it done. I felt that being a dentist was really a good career.

He woke up in the morning and rushed straight to Hongqiao High-speed Railway Station. Since his young master had stayed at his grandparents 'house for ten days, he

There, it was like a mouse falling into a rice vat. My mother-in-law and my father-in-law had not seen her nephew for more than a year. They treated each other well and enjoyed fun, and the little guy was in the middle of the day.

I even took 200 pocket money when I left. When the father and son met at Nanchang High-speed Railway Station, he actually didn't tell me.

I went to Changsha more than 6 years ago. At that time, it was still an ordinary train. Now the high-speed railway is so convenient, it takes a few hours to arrive.

Changsha. Changsha was a stopover for this trip, but a visit to the Hunan Province Museum was also arranged during the intensive itinerary. It was a plan

I visited Chairman Mao's alma mater, Hunan No. 1 Normal University, but when epidemic control was not open, I had to choose Hunan Museum, but inside

There are also cultural relics from the Mawangdui site, the treasure of the town museum, that attracted me. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the museum has restricted current access and made reservations for opening. In order to reserve a ticket, I still got this hard-won ticket at 12:00 in the middle of the night three days in advance. It's really not easy to stay up late at such an old age.

When we came out of the Changsha High-speed Railway Station, we immediately changed to the subway, and then changed to a taxi. We successfully arrived at the Hunan Province Museum next to Martyrs Park. Looking at the long line of tourists at the door, most of them had not done their homework well and made reservations online. I was glad that I could book a ticket, and soon entered the museum with my baby.

The new building of the Hunan Museum is probably completed in recent years. The interior decoration and equipment are very new, and the air conditioning is very adequate. When entering the inner museum from 35 degrees outside, I suddenly feel shivering. There are two regular exhibitions in the museum. One is the famous Mawangdui site cultural relics, and the other is about the history of Hunan people. Of course, I choose to see the former first. My father trained me to collect stamps when I was a child. The first set of brand-new stamps in my hands was the Mawangdui issued in April 1989. At that time, I didn't understand the pattern of this set of stamps very well. There were only three black and black stamps, and there was also a small sheet. I didn't have it at the time, but my classmates had it and I admired it. This time, I finally had a long-cherished wish for decades. I was looking forward to it and did some homework on Mawangdui. Due to the tight time, we should start with a quick look at other cultural relics unearthed in it. The museum's service is also very considerate. There is a voice explanation package on the Weixin Official Accounts. I was also lucky. I met a museum guide leading a group of parent-child groups. Of course, our father and son also belong to a large-scale parent-child relationship, so we gave the explanation. During the process of rubbing it, I kept thinking in my heart that I wanted to see the treasure of the town hall, which was the impression of seeing the miniature sheet when I was a child. I felt that it was a coat worn by a high-ranking official. So much so that when the commentator talked about another piece of the town museum's treasure plain yarn single coat, he didn't listen much. He only heard that this single coat was made of mulberry silk, as thin as cicada wings, and its total weight was only 1 tael. In the Western Han Dynasty more than two thousand years ago, such craftsmanship was amazing, and many tourists were also amazed. At this time, I said inappropriately,"Is this the treasure of your town? I don't remember this." The commentator said that there would be a silk painting next. Then, after the father and son walked around and looked at some displays, this silk painting accidentally came into my eye. At that time, I felt that this cultural relic had been familiar and unfamiliar. From the sheetlet, I think it should be a coat. How could it be explained that it was a silk painting? Anyway, when I see something I have been thinking about for decades, I take random photos and study it when I go back. The Mawangdui Han Tomb Site Exhibition Hall is much larger and is a one-way visit. Finally, we reached the last oversized 1:1 scale imitation of the Mawangdui Han Tomb. It is four stories high, which is enough to make people feel shocked. At the lowest level, you can see the real body of Mrs. Xin Zhui. It was the most completely preserved wet corpse excavated at that time. However, I looked like a female version of a mummy, but unfortunately I couldn't take photos.

After visiting the Han Tomb in Mawangdui, I saw another exhibition-The History of Hunan People. It mainly introduced the history of Hunan people from the beginning of human activities in the land of Sanxiang to modern times. The great man Mao Zedong and the saint Zeng Guofan. These two characters really make me admire. There are also Liu Shaoqi, Peng Dehuai, Luo Ronghuan, He Long, Su Yu, Chen Geng, Jia Yi, Wang Fuzhi, Cai Lun, Zuo Zongtang, etc. Hunan people are simply talented people! It also happened to give Wa a humanities and history class, but I don't know how much he can listen.

In order to catch the train to Zhangjiajie at 6 o'clock in the evening, we came out of the museum at 4 o'clock to experience the fourth mode of transportation in Changsha today. The bus arrived at Changsha Railway Station. We simply ate some rice noodles at the SHOPPING MALL next to the train station. For dinner, and then we experienced Alipay face-brushing payment for the first time at the bakery next to the station. I also carefully looked at the Changsha Railway Station, which had not been in place for six years. Chairman Mao's inscription was vigorous and powerful, which represented the unyielding spirit of Hunan people. In the contemporary railway station hall, I saw a huge traditional Chinese painting depicting Zhangjiajie's mountains and rivers, which gave me such a proud feeling of mountains and rivers.

At the railway station, you have to walk through long corridors to catch the bullet train to Zhangjiajie. Fortunately, the time was squeezed out in front, otherwise you would be in a hurry. When the father and son got on this train, they didn't expect it to be the fifth means of transportation they took in a day. Although they took the train at the train station and bought a bullet train ticket. However, the carriage was made like a subway. There were not many seats, but there were many stations. The driving speed was very slow at first. It stopped underground in Changsha for two stops. Those two platforms were like subway platforms. After leaving Changsha, the driving speed is very fast, which is the speed of a bullet train. Both father and son found it very novel. It is somewhere between a bullet train and a subway. It should be more appropriate to call it an intercity train.

As the intercity train was approaching Taohuayuan in Changde, it gradually began to rain heavily outside, and there were not many people left in the seat from the bustling crowd in the carriage before. I wonder if the rain will decrease when we arrive in Zhangjiajie more than an hour later. The hotel and inn service for the first night booked in Zhangjiajie was relatively considerate, providing free high-speed rail pick-up service. After the father and son successfully filled in the Hunan health code at the exit, they saw the innkeeper and driver. It was almost eleven o'clock. I was a little tired. I looked forward to arriving at the hotel early to rest. I looked forward to the first meal of the trip-Tianmen Mountain. I also prayed for good weather tomorrow.

DAY2

August 21:

When I woke up early in the morning, the air in Zhangjiajie City, which had been washed by rain all night, was particularly fresh. After the father and son couldn't wait to get up and wash, they went to the restaurant downstairs of the hotel for breakfast. This was the first breakfast in Hunan. Since they only ate rice noodles casually in Changsha the night before, it was not considered authentic Hunan food. Authentic Hunan cuisine started with this breakfast. The restaurant owner shouted rice tofu, which naturally meant to be tasted. She said to her son: "From now on, we will taste the original Hunan cuisine. Although you can't eat spicy food, but wherever you go, you have to follow the Romans and learn to eat spicy food." Unexpectedly, the little guy didn't resist, and our journey in Zhangjiajie began with slightly spicy rice tofu.

The inn we booked is next to the cableway in Tianmen Mountain City. After breakfast, we quickly walked to the cableway station to pick up the ticket. There was almost no need to queue up before taking the longest cableway in the universe. Previously, we had to wait in line for at least one or two hours by taking this cableway. Sometimes it takes four or five o'clock in the morning on holidays. We added epidemic control at the end of the summer vacation, and the flow of tourists dropped sharply. In addition, we got up early and stayed next to the cableway station, so we still had to do homework when traveling.

The cableway crosses the crowd at the station, crosses the tracks, crosses the smoky villages, crosses the gurgling streams, and keeps rising, rushing into Tianmen Mountain, which is tightly wrapped in dense fog, but we imagine that this is the Tiangong. As we approached Tiangong, the dense fog occasionally cleared, allowing us to see the Tongtian Avenue at the 99 bend of Tianmen Mountain. Unfortunately, it only lasted for a minute. Then, as the cableway moved, the winding road left us. After the cableway stopped, the father and son observed for a while and decided not to follow the group's flow of people. They found a unique way to go to Yunmeng Xianding, the main peak of Tianmen Mountain. After passing through a section of the cave, they took a vertical elevator installed in the mountain and came out to Yunmeng Xianding. It was really different. It lived up to the four words "Yunmeng Xianding"-on the top of Tianmen Mountain, in the clouds, you were like a god! In fact, it was just white and misty, and I couldn't see anything. I imagined this fairyland on my own. At this time, my stomach was a little uncomfortable, and it seemed that I was going to relieve myself. I searched through my bag. In order to reduce my burden on the mountain climbing in the morning, I didn't bring the entire bag of tissue with me. I only had a piece of toilet paper. I couldn't defeat this one of the three urgent needs of life. After using this piece of tissue paper, I felt that there was always something that was not cleaned. I didn't expect that such a cleanness would cause the chrysanthemums to be uncomfortable during the next two days of travel.

Because Heaven Gong was really too bad, after coming down from Yunmeng Xianding, the father and son walked on the top of Tianmen Mountain in a counterclockwise path and first arrived at the glass plank road on the west line. They wanted to let the little guy walk alone. After all, there were many tourists, and it would not be good if they got separated, so they walked together. However, the fog was too strong and nothing could be seen outside the plank road. The glass plank road lost its meaning and was boring. Walking in Tianmen Mountain, which is wrapped in dense fog, is similar to other mountain ranges in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. When you reach the Ghost Valley and Sky Chasm of Tianmen Mountain, you can also experience and feel the depth of the canyon, and you can hear the echo when you shout loudly. I was walking in this misty mountain. Although the mountain road was not very rugged and the steps up and down were okay, I always felt unwilling. The fruits and dry grains we brought were gradually exhausted by our husband and I. I originally finished driving all the way to Tianmen Peak and then to Tianmen Cave. It was already past one o'clock. Seeing that the fog would not dissipate in this bad weather, I decisively couldn't give up on the wing-mounted flight platform. Besides, the place was closed due to an accident involving a female college student in May. We took the 7-level mountain elevator directly to Tianmen Cave. This 7-level mountain elevator really shocked the little guy. He was very interested in this kind of similar project. He took the escalator that could not be seen at a glance and took it one after another. He kept taking photos and asked me if this was longer than the Crown escalator in Chongqing. Various beautiful photos of Tianmen Mountain and various extreme sports pictures are displayed next to the elevator.

After experiencing the longest escalator in my life, as the crowd slowly moved forward, a gust of wind blew past, blowing away the fog in front of me, and what came into view was the cliffs. I immediately raised my mobile phone and took a crazy shot. Soon the fog quickly gathered again, and only gave me a few dozen seconds to take pictures. After the fog condensed again, he didn't walk much forward. When he looked up, he vaguely saw the outline of a huge mountain above his head. Was it really the legendary Tianmen Cave? That's right, it's Tianmen Cave, the real Tianmen Cave. Unfortunately, it was surrounded by this damn dense fog in front of my eyes... We chose the Tianmen Mountain Line A tour. It is a downhill road from top to bottom after the cableway reaches the top of the mountain. In front of the Tianmen Gate is the climbing ladder known as Level 999. Fortunately, we are going down the ladder, which is one level after another. There is no place in the middle for you to rest your feet (There are stopping places on both sides every 200 steps.) The father and son discussed one step at a time and walked down. 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. To be honest, they have never counted so seriously. Every hundred father and son take a breath and are called 999. In fact, it is estimated that the final count will be 888. Although the name is not true, it is also a very auspicious number. Arriving at the bottom of the ladder, the father and son couldn't forget the visit and remembered it.

The current A Line takes another express cableway down the mountain instead of experiencing the 99-turn Tongtian Avenue. This is really a pity. There was a way to the express line cableway station, and the father and son were walking when I suddenly discovered a huge spider web at a certain railing. The spider's silk was naturally spun. The Eight Diagrams-like spider web soaked with rain beads was swaying in the wind. It looked shaky. It was rare to have the opportunity to teach my son a lesson and ask him to blow hard at the spider web. He blew several mouthfuls, but the seemingly fragile spider web was not blown away. The little guy was very puzzled, why? He then gave him a short knowledge of the stickiness of spider saliva. At this time, a few gusts blew, and the looming Tianmen Mountain Tongtian Avenue in the distance was visible from near to far. Immediately seized the opportunity, click, and within a few minutes, it was shrouded in fog again. I was also quite helpless and took the express cableway up and down the mountain. On the other hand, the little guy was very excited. In one day, I experienced the longest cableway, the vertical elevator embedded in the mountain, and the ultra-long seven-level escalator. Now I went down the mountain. I experienced the oversized cableway that can accommodate up to 26 people.

When I returned to the inn at around three o'clock, the innkeeper was very enthusiastic and recommended me a WeChat account that allowed me to view the mountains and rivers of the motherland in the cloud on May Day. It was used to view the scenery through Yuntai, which was installed in a well-known scenic spot in the country. There are also several scenic spots in Zhangjiajie. You can use it to watch real-time dynamics, which is much better than weather forecast. I am very grateful to the innkeeper for pointing us to the nearest bus stop by taking the Wulingyuan shuttle bus. I don't have to walk a lot more with my luggage, which saves a lot of physical strength.

At 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun in Zhangjiajie is very bright. The Chinese bus in Wulingyuan is full of locals. It seems that we and my son are the only tourists. The little guy is probably tired and resting on the bus. I still have the habit of looking at the flowing scenery outside the car window. I soon arrived at the station in Wulingyuan. The inn I stayed in was not far from the station, just opposite the People's Armed Forces Department. It had a retro industrial style and some personality. After a short rest, the father and son walked for food. Rows of restaurants and restaurants lined up beside the Jinbian River in the neighborhood. The first restaurant that came into view was very distinctive, and of course it was also very distinctive. Thinking about it, it was better not to make a punch. After walking through a few restaurants, I was really tired later. I looked at them all, so I chose a random restaurant and went in. Zhangjiajie's preferred dish is Sanxia Pot, which is a hodgepodge of a lot of pork and beef offal with potatoes, cauliflower and radishes, and of course, peppers. I wanted to taste it, but it was just the father and son. Plus, this dish looks too spicy, so I'll forget it. Asked the little guy to order, he chose bandit meat. He probably thought the name was interesting, but it was actually pork. There was also a vegetable with tomato and egg noodles. There seemed to be not many varieties of vegetables in Zhangjiajie, so the father and son just made do with this dinner. They were too tired and hungry. After paying homage to the Five Organs Temple, considering that I would visit the Wulingyuan Scenic Area the next day, I went to a large supermarket to buy some dry grains and fruits. I felt that the price of this kind of food in small places was high, and there were not many varieties. It seemed that there was still much room for improvement in people's living standards. I was really tired, so I returned to the inn to rest early, looking forward to the beautiful scenery of Wulingyuan and also looking forward to good weather.

DAY3

August 22:

I woke up early, paid attention to the weather conditions today in bed, whether it was raining, and then opened the curtains. Yesterday, I could see the green mountains in the distance outside the window, but they were covered by this damn fog in the morning. Learning from yesterday's Tianmen Mountain, I decided not to go out so early in order to see the beautiful scenery. After breakfast, my son happened to be carrying his summer homework and did it for an hour first. I always paid attention to the cloud national scenic area camera, observing the weather at Wulingyuan Shuiaosimen and Tianzi Mountain Yubi Peak. By around 99 o'clock, the little guy was almost done with his homework, and then the father and son teased a big dog kept by the innkeeper (excuse me for not knowing much about the types of dogs). It didn't rain outside. Although the two cloud cameras were still foggy, by counting, you need to queue up to buy tickets to enter the scenic area. When you reach the core attractions, the fog should have cleared. OK,Let's go!

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the Wulingyuan sign gate, there was a heavy rain. After hiding, I decided to leave. At this time, I regretted not bringing my raincoat to go out. I mainly thought that wearing this thing in Tianmen Mountain yesterday was too much of a hindrance. I have to stay in the Geopark for two days today. I can pack as light as possible. Zhangjiajie Geopark attracts post-epidemic tourists during the summer vacation and has launched a discount activity to halve the tickets for tours with parents with their children. The idea is a good one, but in order to prove the father-son relationship, they also need to bring a household registration booklet. In order to keep this important certificate, it is really a good one. Keep a heart on your mind. Although the number of people queuing to buy tickets was a bit long, it was still acceptable to me, which was estimated to be half an hour. Then I queued up to take the tour bus to the Hundred Dragons Ladder. This snake-shaped queue was also quite long, winding around ten round trips. After all, the team was squirming and the tour bus came in time. Coupled with the feeling of getting better and better, I was not annoyed by the excessive queuing time at that time.

After getting on the tour bus, my mood became excited as the tour bus gradually entered the core scenic spot. I picked up my mobile phone in the car and kept clicking, knowing that this was just a prelude, and the more beautiful scenery was behind. After all, I couldn't help but feel the blood of first contact with the beautiful scenery. After arriving at the Bailong Lantian and getting off the bus, this passion was released even more unwittingly. The beautiful scenery was surrounded by 360 degrees in front of you. Suddenly, I didn't know how to start a feast. I looked up and looked around. The outdoor vertical sightseeing elevator more than 300 meters high was built along Zhangjiajie's unique peak forest mountains. It deserves to be called the Lantian. It is very spectacular and a landscape in itself. The father and son specially lined up and chose to enter the first position of the elevator to capture the unparalleled scenery that climbed from the inside of the mountain to the top of the mountain in an instant. In fact, when it rushed from darkness to light, everyone in the elevator cheered and roared. After all, this moment is a rare moment in life. How many times?

After the Hundred Dragons Ladder arrived at Yuanjiajie, Zhangjiajie's unique quartz sandstone peak forest landform was perfectly displayed in front of you. It was more beautiful and shocking than what I saw on the Internet and imagined in my mind. In the next thirty hours, you must enjoy this visual feast, and don't watch the beautiful scenery like the starving ghost reincarnated like on the Hundred Dragons Ladder. After taking commemorative photos in front of the Yuanjiajie stone tablet as a routine, they headed for the tour bus in front of them. There were wild monkeys along the way. The father and son suddenly became very cute and cute together with the monkeys in groups. The little guy likes to tease monkeys, but he is timid. He can only shout at the monkeys, but he does not dare to do more physical movements to play with the monkeys. Those wild monkeys are also really cute and exciting. But after all, we can't miss the monkey too much, so it's better to move forward.

After the tour bus arrives at the back garden and gets off, it is the most essential scenic spots in Zhangjiajie, including the Quizhuang Terrace, the Pillar of Qiankun, the Double Dragon Spring, the Four Great Men, the Divine Turtle Wentian, the First Bridge in the World, etc. At this time, the sky is a bit unattractive and drizzling, but it cannot stop the couple from enjoying the beautiful scenery. During this excellent journey, the little guy who is not very interested in natural scenery is also influenced by the beautiful scenery bestowed by nature. Take photos from his perspective. Especially when I went to the scenic spot of Qiankun Yizhongzhu, which is the leading sign in Zhangjiajie's external publicity and the location of Avatar. When I came to Zhangjiajie for this reason, I also specially let the little guy watch this classic film, which made him remember it even more deeply. Seeing the magic pillar of heaven and earth, I couldn't help but feel the magic of the earth's movement. It took more than two hours to walk this elite route. In addition to the beautiful scenery, there were also too many people. The tour group used this route and arrived at the last scenic spot, the world's first bridge, a stone bridge naturally formed by weathering between the peaks and forests. At this time, I was a little exhausted, and there were too many people. I passed the world's first bridge rest meeting. The little guy was still not satisfied and took a detour.

When the world's first bridge arrived at the bus waiting area, it was around 2 o'clock, so I quickly replenished my energy. The consumption level of the scenic area was OK. The meat skewers were 10 yuan. Make two hot skewers. I ate one fragrant pear to replenish calories to offset fatigue. The brain circuit was also much clearer. I would rather give up the long line to go directly to Tianzi Mountain, take the Yangjiajie bus and then continue to take the bus to Tianzi Mountain. Later, I felt that this decision was wise and saved a lot of time.

After two consecutive tours, I finally experienced the eighteen bends of the mountain road in Fenglin. On the way, I saw a tea forest, which was also a beautiful scenery. After arriving at Tianzi Mountain, the sky was still cloudy and rainy. I saw a vendor selling Changsha stinky tofu. I originally liked this taste. I had never tasted the chairman's stinky tofu before, but the vendor said that there was less spicy tofu. I didn't expect that these pieces of slightly spicy stinky tofu that the Hunan people thought would become the catalyst for not disposing clean chrysanthemums on the top of Tianmen Mountain yesterday. As soon as the two of us ate this stinky tofu, the slightly spicy tofu was actually extremely spicy, but they were greedy at that time and ate one piece after another. The little guy who didn't eat very spicy food also ate several pieces. Within a few minutes, his chrysanthemum eye immediately responded. The tingling feeling was extremely uncomfortable, but on the surface, he still had to force himself to remain calm and visit this increasingly fairy mountain forest.

The Zhangjiajie peak forest seen at Tianzi Mountain has a more flavor. Coupled with the fog lingering between the peak forest, it makes people fascinated. It is simply a huge bonsai, which has more charm than a bonsai because it has a fairy aura. It is more beautiful than what Yuan Jiajie saw in the morning. When I was doing my homework before coming to Zhangjiajie, I saw Helong Park in Tianzi Mountain and wondered how it was a park. The park in the conventional sense is in the city, let alone it was named by He Long. When I arrived on the field, I suddenly realized that He Long was a tourist guide. It turned out that He Long was from Sangzhi County under the jurisdiction of Zhangjiajie. After his wife passed away in 2011, she moved the ashes of Marshal He Long from Babaoshan in Beijing and buried them together in her hometown. He Long's tombstone is very distinctive, like two giant kitchen knives, symbolizing that Marshal He Long used two kitchen knives to create a revolution in his hometown. The first time I took my child to the Marshal's tomb, I asked him to bow three times to the revolutionary martyrs. Of course, I couldn't help but educate him in patriotism. The little guy was quite sensible and seemed very solemn and serious here. After paying homage to He Long's tomb, the rain was getting a little heavy. I didn't bring a raincoat and could only hide under the dense forest to avoid the rain. The chrysanthemum eyes were also stimulated by the stinky tofu pepper and hurt my heart. I didn't know what to do! After the rain subsided a little, with a heart-ache in her chrysanthemum-eyed eyes, she limped towards the Tianzi Pavilion of Yubi Peak. When I was at the inn in the morning, the Yuntai camera of Yubi Peak saw the white fog shrouded in it. When I arrived there at 5 p.m., the fog dissipated, presenting a beautiful scenery like a mirage. At this time, I couldn't help but make a video call with my mother and share the beautiful scenery with my family, and the pain of my chrysanthemum eyes was thrown away. Coincidentally, the owner of the Sky Pastoral Inn called me where I was booked for the night more than a month in advance. We also felt that we were very satisfied to have visited so many attractions and seen so many scenery in this weather today. After all, we live in a scenic spot, so we should be prepared to rush to our destination early.

We successfully got on the last tour bus at Tianzi Mountain to Sanchao. After a while, the owner of the farmhouse in Sky Pastoral drove his magic car Wuling Hongguang to pick us up. As soon as we got on the bus, the owner's three-year-old daughter was very cute and refused to let us sit, for fear that we would snatch her toys. Picking up another middle-aged couple in Beijing, the boss drove his magic car and quickly drove towards the sky countryside in the heart of the scenic area. The sky countryside is currently not open to tourists. I had done a lot of homework before designing this tour route and staying here overnight. Even the B & B owner in Wulingyuan said that there was no room in the scenic area now. At first, I was afraid that the owner of the sky countryside farmhouse would stand me up. Then when I got into contact, I spent less than 24 hours together. I thought he was not only very talkative, Moreover, he is a sweeping monk living deep in the paradise. Let's listen to the following explanation. He drove in this scenic area with ease and stopped somewhere on the road. He said that the Yuan Family Realm was very beautiful from this angle. Indeed, under his guidance, he saw the Yuan Family Realm on the other side, and it was something that ordinary tourists couldn't see. Seeing this scene, it was not a poem, but that he didn't expect it to be so sublimated at the end of the day. It was simply beautiful! There are so many arrogance in the country!

Although the accommodation in the farmhouse is simple and simple, it can still cope with the landing. I walked nearly 30,000 steps today, and my chrysanthemum eyes are so painful that I want to cry for my mother. I took a shower immediately and used hot water to stimulate the washing. Although it was relieved, it still ached faintly and I applied it again. Essence of wind oil, this one is exciting! If you have a hidden difficulty, you can only solve it yourself and rely on your will and will to solve it. Although it can address the symptoms rather than the root cause, it is still refreshing for a while. Walking downstairs and around the dilapidated village, only a few families were left. They were attacked by the local ZF. When chatting with the boss, I knew why the door of the room was sealed. Alas, good policies often change sometimes when implemented. The so-called characteristic of Tianchao. The boss not only takes care of the outside, but also takes care of the inside. The boss actually takes charge of our three meals a day. Although the dishes only have three dishes and one soup, the taste is not bad and the portions are sufficient. After walking for a day, our father and son have a big appetite. The whole pot of rice is finished. The little guy needs to exercise so that he can be full of vitality.

It was late at night, and the countryside was very quiet in the sky! It is very sweet to fall asleep on this quiet night.

DAY4

August 23:

At around 4:30 in the morning, I woke up naturally. Did I wake up tired or excited? Also unknown. Looking at my mobile phone in bed for a while, after a while, the boss whispered,"You can get ready to watch the sunrise." This sentence immediately became excited, and quickly put on clothes and brought hot water and went out.

The boss took me and another Changsha couple to the best sunrise observation point very well. The Changsha couple were camera enthusiasts and brought three SLRs. I switched to the Glory 30PRO when I came out to play this time. It was even more beautiful that the owner of the farmhouse took out a very professional tripod and put his mobile phone on it to shoot the sunrise. At this time, the sky brightened slightly. The enthusiast couple talked very professionally about the adjustment of shooting parameters. I admired all such people and thought they were masters. I didn't expect the owner of the farmhouse to also chat with them about the parameters of shooting sunrise. He spoke clearly, but I really couldn't tell. Now you know why I called him a sweeping monk in the previous paragraph. With advice from an enthusiast couple master and a sweeping monk boss, I suddenly became enlightened about the function of taking pictures on my mobile phone, and my boss praised the professional tripod.

As the morning light gradually became white in the sky, other tourists from the Sky Pastoral B & B also gathered together to capture the sunrise. Those are all professional players with fever levels. One of them has been staying at Sky Pastoral B & B for a full month. I saw the photos and videos he took in Zhangjiajie National Geopark and thought that a master was a master, which really made me eye-opener.

Unfortunately, the weather is still not beautiful. Some of the morning light that could show before was gradually blocked by more clouds between the peaks and forests. It is estimated that today's sunrise with full brilliance will be ruined. The owner of the Sweeping Monk Inn immediately said that he would take us to the innermost hinterland of the sky garden. It was already around 6:30 at that time. Thinking that the sunrise would be invisible, it would be better to explore the hinterland of the sky garden. As the car arrived there, a few of us cheered as soon as we got off the car. We couldn't see the sunrise, but here we could appreciate the hazy beauty brought by the morning mist to the peak forest. It was so charming. From where we stood, we could see the Hundred Dragons Ladder standing between the peak forest. The human buildings and the natural scenery complement each other so well. Here I also took my first photo of a time-lapse photo blockbuster! Must have a big like! At this moment, where can we compare to the fairyland?

The visual impact of the eyeballs did not feel tired at all, but getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning made the five internal organs roar. I reluctantly bid farewell to the observation deck still under construction in the sky and pastoral hinterland, and returned to the inn to comfort my empty stomach. After breakfast, he also chatted with the owner of the sweeping monk. He learned that the owner of the mountain ditch also went to Shanghai to work hard for N years after going to college. He talked about the outside world and felt that his horizons were different. People's views and thoughts have also improved. No wonder when I met him yesterday, I felt that this innkeeper didn't talk like the style of a mountain ditch. After listening to his life's struggle, I became more and more respectful of this sweeping monk innkeeper.

After chatting, I spent the rare parent-child time with my son in their countryside, teasing the big cock, looking at the old hen, and picking a few original pears to taste. It was so fun! After bidding farewell to the owner of the Sweeping Monk Inn, he took a tour bus to Yangjiajie at Sanchao. Yangjiajie originally had the scenic spot of Wulong Village Tianbo Prefecture, but it was recently temporarily closed due to mudslides, which is quite a pity. You can only visit the Natural Great Wall next to the Yangjiajie Cableway Station. After nearly 30,000 steps yesterday, there is not much way to the Natural Great Wall, and you feel a little tired just by climbing the mountain. Hurry up and take the cableway down the mountain and then transfer to the tour bus to Longfeng Temple. The tour bus route design and arrangement in Zhangjiajie is very good, and it is all included in the ticket. The frequency is also very dense, even if there are only two or three people, the bus will depart as usual. After getting off the bus from Longfeng 'an, we walked a short way to the cableway station in Huangshizhai. Walking on the shady plank road in the mountains and forests was very comfortable. The negative oxygen ions were particularly high. Moreover, only our father and son were walking downhill. Compared with the traveling group, we were very relaxed. I wonder if they knew that this uphill journey had just begun.

After arriving at the Huangshizhai Cableway Station, the father and son took a break to replenish energy and drain waste liquid. The cableway ticket was actually a postcard. It was very commemorative for his son to stamp the postcard and send it back to his old mother. While waiting in line for the cableway cable cars, they had just discovered a cable car with a glass floor. The car in front of them didn't get on it. The father and son would rather wait for a while to experience it, and finally got on it. Only then did they realize that only 3 of the 98 cable cars have glass floors. Good luck and a better mood. After arriving at Huangshi Village, Huangshi Village was boasted by many literati and high-class guests that "I didn't reach Huangshi Village, I came to Zhangjiajie in vain." The overall feeling was not very amazing. Perhaps after yesterday's visual feast, the exquisite desserts would not be so fragrant. Or maybe losing the embellishment of heaven and clouds didn't make me more amazing. However, the overall walk was quite good. Unfortunately, half of the attractions were surrounded by construction enclosures. Probably the most important attractions were inside this enclosure and could not be seen. They didn't see much in Huangshi Village, but the father and son consumed all the dry food they brought with them.

The cableway and cable car in Xiawashizhai also has a glass floor. This is the third time I have taken the cableway today and the last cableway on this trip. The little guy is also very happy and excited. After arriving at Huangshizhai Lower Station, change to a tour bus, which is the Oxygen Bar Square. It is almost noon. After eating the dry food, my stomach is growling, and a bowl of noodles is replenished. After eating this bowl of noodles, I feel congested to 70%. Looking at the tourist map, it will take at least three to four hours to walk 7KM Jinbian River and exit the sign gate. I don't think I can withstand this physical strength today, so I can walk to the Muzi Peak of Jinbian River and turn back.

The Jinbian Creek is gurgling, and many monkeys are climbing among the trees. It is a good place for parent-child fun. The children either splash water in the stream and have fun, or take out many small snacks to entertain the monkeys. My young master is also very interested in many MONKEYS. Interested, his mobile phone lens aimed at different monkeys and took pictures wildly, but his photography skills were really unflattering. Those monkeys are also really cute, especially the little monkeys nestled next to the mother monkey. They are reluctant to part with MUM and reach out to grab snacks from time to time. Some monkeys in their prime are flying in the jungle and agile. They feel like their paradise in Jinbian Creek. They are the protagonist of Jinbian Creek. Arriving near Jinbian Creek Muzi Peak, I saw a young child playing in the stream. He was very cute. The adults asked him to come up, but they didn't listen. I couldn't help but record this kind of picture. What a wonderful thing it would be to review it in the future!

After returning from Jinbianxi Muzi Peak, my son still teased the monkeys as always. On the way out of the gate, I saw various inscriptions left by literati and politicians visiting Zhangjiajie and conducted research. The "Zhangjiajie National Forest Park" at the gate was the inscription of Gao Dezhan, then Minister of Forestry, and it was also China's first national forest park. I also thought it deserved its name. There is a direct shuttle bus to Wulingyuan after leaving the gate, which is quite convenient. It's better to go back to the B & B and have a rest early. It's too tiring.

I rested until around six o'clock. The sun had not completely set in the west, and it was time to pay homage to the Five Organs Temple again. This time I chose to stay in a small hotel next to the inn. It was quite affordable to have a look, but there were too many people. This time the father and son came out to exercise their introverted son's social communication skills. He was basically asked to do some simple ordering and paying. This time was no exception. After ordering, I knew that the food was a little slow, and the store also told people that they would slow down. However, the other tables were late and the dishes were served. We didn't come, so we asked the little guy to rush him. For some reason, the little guy refused to go. He refused to go if he said anything. I said hard and said,"If you don't rush me, I will rush him, you won't eat a bite. He was really forced by me to rush him. I felt that his rush food was so pale and weak from a distance. Fortunately, the store owner understood and brought two salted duck eggs to compensate. At this time, I was a little hungry and angry, but I didn't rush the store, but I just rushed at my son. But reason tells me not to talk about my son in public. The situation is too bad. At this time, there was a customer at the other table who was impatient waiting for food and shouted. I analyzed the example of the adjacent table to my son, saying that urging food should be reasonable and well-founded and loud, so that it can be effective. It is not a whisper and stingy mosquitoes and flies, and only when they can scream can they eat. Those who don't order will not eat anything. The little guy probably didn't have face because I said he was too hungry and said he wouldn't eat here and elsewhere. Then he walked out. In fact, the store brought the first dish. The little guy turned a blind eye and talked to himself to other restaurants. I said that I wanted to ask you to order your own food and pay for it. He did not listen and did it himself. At this time, I made up my mind to follow this vivid example and let him hit a wall and learn a lesson. I ate first and fill my stomach before talking. After half of the meal, I saw wandering back and forth outside the restaurant from afar. I don't know what I was thinking about, so I asked a waiter, my sister, to call him. My sister came back and told me to ask him to come over for dinner. He just won't come in to eat. I want to treat it cold for a while. After I was almost full, I went out to call him and said,"You can eat at another place and you can handle it yourself, okay? You hung around the door for so long, but the waiter had already served all the dishes. When they came to call you, you still turned a deaf ear. You could do a lot of things with your little time."Finally, you came in to eat. Through this example, I didn't beat and scold him, but was more serious and let him understand that he shouldn't encounter setbacks and bury his head in the mound like an ostrich that covers his ears and steals his bell. It can't solve any problems. It's escape. We have to face reality and solve problems. Although this incident has been very effective in educating the little guy, dripping water wears through a stone, and he will understand one day.

After dinner, there is still some time. After doing some homework, the little guy takes a break early and prepares to check in tomorrow's Internet celebrity attraction-the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge.

DAY5

August 24:

People are always excited when traveling, and they don't sleep much. In addition, the father and son don't sleep late. Today, I am going to check in the Internet celebrity attraction-Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge. To be honest, I don't yearn for this attraction too much, that's all. Seeing that I'm here, I'll visit it for the sake of an Internet celebrity attraction.

There is a shuttle bus to the Grand Canyon at Wulingyuan Bus Station. In fact, it also goes to Cili County and stops in the middle of the Grand Canyon. You also have to transfer to a tour bus to enter the Canyon Ticket Center. After asking the little guy to pick up the ticket, change the shoe covers, and you can see the glass bridge. The first feeling is not as amazing as seen in the Short Video, but it is also quite spectacular. Today is the best weather day in the past few days. I was on the glass bridge under the scorching sun and put on a few POSE to take photos. I couldn't lift my head under the direct sun. The father and son couldn't learn from the Internet celebrity POSE in the Short Video. They swayed their poses and then took photos of the scenery in the distance. They would probably stay on the glass bridge for up to half an hour before they were done. If you just bought a glass bridge, the ticket price would not be worth it.

After coming out of the glass bridge and going down to the bottom of the canyon, there were elevators + countless zigzag plank roads. The little guy happened to encounter scenic spots and enjoy the high-altitude zip line between the Grand Canyon. The little guy first asked me to accompany him, and I promised, but my heart was really in turmoil. Later, when I was queuing up, I said you were skating and my father took a video for you, and he said yes and still slipped away. Watching from a distance on the platform, he finally arrived. He was not timid at all. I called out to him loudly, but I don't know if he heard him. At this time, the Glory 30PRO showed the charm of taking videos with 50 times telephoto. Son, you are the best.

After my son slid to the other side of the valley through the zip line, the father and son agreed to meet at the bottom of the valley. I immediately walked to the bottom of the valley. This downhill road is not easy to walk. First, I took a vertical elevator, and then I kept going back and forth on the zigzag plank road. It tests the joints. After finally reaching the bottom of the valley, I looked up at the glass bridge, which was very spectacular. At this time, my son also came from the other end to gather with me. He didn't bring much dry food when he went out this morning. He bought a few roasted sausages to replenish his energy. After a short rest, there was still about 3 kilometers of plank road to get out of this Grand Canyon.

The scenic spot of the Glass Bridge Grand Canyon can be said to be developed by humans using the terrain characteristics of mountain canyons. The artificial traces are too strong and are extremely replicable. In recent years, the glass plank road in the Jiangnan area has been this model, so the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge Grand Canyon For me, it is just that it is an Internet celebrity attraction that the father and son visited here. Walking on the plank road out of the canyon, this valley is no different from the hilly canyon, but not as beautiful as the latter. At first, the amount of water in artificial waterfalls was like water flowing with tears. Later, there was a Butterfly Spring Waterfall that felt like a water-curtain cave. There was a bandit cave, which made us and my son feel very novel to explore. This was the real bandit nest before and after liberation. Looking at this huge cave, I imagined a large group of people living a primitive human life in this cave. I couldn't imagine the scene of eating, drinking, and lazating, let alone going out to burn, kill and plunder. After passing the Bandits Cave, I didn't walk much, and I finally saw a lake where I could take a boat to the exit. Today is the hottest day since arriving in Zhangjiajie. It is noon again, and the sun is shining high. The little guy is probably affected by the high temperature and fatigue, so he has begun to "work". One moment this is uncomfortable, the next moment it is uncomfortable. I am going to eat at a restaurant near the parking lot. He is going to go against you. After being scolded by me, he is forced to join me to solve the five internal organs of the temple.

After lunch, we took the Cili CMB to Wulingyuan, then took a taxi back to the inn where we stayed yesterday to retrieve our luggage. We went to Wulingyuan Station and took the CMB to Zhangjiajie Bus Station. It was already past three o'clock and we were ready to catch the next stop shuttle bus to Furong Town. This bus was a running train. We were lucky and we could catch it after waiting for more than half an hour. If we were late, we would have to wait for more than an hour. The waiting room at this Zhangjiajie Bus Station is in poor condition. There is no air conditioning. We were waiting outdoors. It felt like waiting for a bus in the 1980s and 1990s. This pain was really nothing to me. It was a good experience for the little guy.

After leaving for Furong Town at around 4 o'clock, we took the national highway and experienced the scenery of Xiangxi outside the car window. The passing picture was very good. During this period, we also confirmed the ticket vehicle for the next day's trip with the hotel. It was a two-hour drive. Just as we were about to enter Furong Town, the driver parked the car next to a rural village next to the road. He said that there were regulations for the fleet monitoring and we couldn't drive too fast. We stopped slowly, and we also got off the bus to relax. The little guy bought a cold drink for one yuan at a small village store. The price was so low that he couldn't believe it. Hehe, this is the rural characteristic, and he gained some insight. I chatted with the villagers who sold kiwis, and also helped the poor, I bought some kiwis to eat on the road (as a result, I didn't eat much on the road).

I finally arrived at the bus station in Furong Town. This bus station is no different from the bus station in my childhood. It suddenly brought me back to my childhood and I am very fond of this station. After walking out of the station, the father and son took their luggage and walked for more than a kilometer. They finally arrived at the hotel where they stayed at the night. The hotel where they stayed for this trip was getting better and better. After a short rest, we had to go out for food after traveling for a long time. We were heading for the Furong Ancient Town Scenic Area. There were big restaurants on both sides. There was a small takeout restaurant sandwiched between this big restaurant. I found it and it was this place. I didn't want to look for it anymore. There was dog meat on the menu, and we really wanted to try it. Unfortunately, the boss said no this season, so we ordered a few other dishes and they arrived quickly. My son ate this meal very well. I guess the little guy has been tired from playing in the past few days. He has gradually achieved his small goal of traveling and training. After eating, I quickly went back to the hotel to rest. The day was really too tiring.

DAY6

August 25:

When I woke up, it was raining patteringly outside the window. The thing I was most worried about last night finally happened. Due to thunderstorms in some areas in the middle of the night, the water level of the Mengdong River rose. The scheduled rafting in the Mengdong River today was cancelled, and all itinerary plans were disrupted. I suddenly didn't know what to do. It turns out that today's itinerary is Mengdong River + Zuolong Gorge. The hotel front desk said that the red stone forest nearby here is also good, so I can go and have a look. After my homework before, I felt that the red stone forest was average to see. I didn't know if Zuolong Gorge was open, so I called the scenic area, but I didn't expect to give me a surprise. It actually opened after a heavy rain. After discussing with my son, I decided to go to Zuolong Gorge.

The main reason for going to Zuolong Gorge was transportation. I was doing my homework before, but there were no special buses to the scenic spot there. I had not yet arrived in Furong Town, so I was ready to take a taxi. I asked for 100 yuan. Only five or six kilometers of road cost 100 yuan. I felt a bit deceiving. Later, I came to Furong Town and talked with local people more. Early this morning, I decided to go to Zuolong Gorge and asked the tour guide who booked the tickets. It turned out that the shuttle bus from Furong Town Station to Hongshilin Town passed through Zuolong Gorge on the way. In this way, after tasting the prestigious rice tofu at the snack bar near the hotel, my son and I walked towards the nostalgic Furong Town Bus Station. On the way to the station, I happened to see the car heading for Hongshilin driving away and waved non-stop. Fate still told me to linger at the station of the last century. While waiting for the bus, I chatted with an old lady waiting for the bus. The old man was in her 80s and was from Xiaozhai Village in Zuolong Gorge. She was very healthy and she went out carrying a backpack with Xiangxi characteristics. The things in it were very heavy. I carried it very heavy with both hands. I only understood 30% to 40% of what the old man said. I thought it was unbelievable for us and son to travel together. To be honest, I forgot what else I talked about after more than a month, just some family gossip. I also chatted with the middle-aged aunt who went to Zuolong Gorge. Fortunately, she helped guide the way on the way. After waiting for about 20 minutes, the bus arrived and many people were called on to get on the bus. The people in this bus were all locals. They all came back from the market in Furong Town. Only our father and son appeared very eye-catching. Among them, but I think this is very down-to-earth and integrated into them. Although we are very different from them, it does not affect the communication between us at all. What a harmonious and beautiful picture it is! Through the guidance of the middle-aged aunt who had chatted before, we didn't take a while and then got off the bus on the way, waved to change to another car. After a while, we arrived at the gate of Zalongxia Scenic Area. Because we had booked the ticket with the Furong Town tour guide on WeChat in advance, it was only 60 yuan. It cost 88 yuan to buy the ticket on-site in the scenic area. It was a bit tortuous to get the ticket, but we finally got the ticket. I can only pay an insurance premium for my son's ticket. Almost all scenic spots in Hunan offer free tickets to children under the age of 14. We just happened to catch this last bus to enjoy the benefits.

Before entering the scenic spot, some vendors were selling hiking tools, raincoats and labor gloves. The vendors never expected that we, father and son, would bring this equipment from afar. When we put it on, it was even better than what they sold. They were a little dumbfounded when the business was not successful. After taking photos in front of the three words "Zuolong Gorge" in front of the gate of the scenic area to commemorate the visit, we will begin today's journey in the real sense.

As soon as I entered the Zuolong Gorge, it was nothing special. It was a long and narrow lake formed by the running water of the canyon. After passing this long and narrow lake, the next roads were basically built on one side of the canyon. There was a thunderstorm the night before. The road was muddy, but the air was exceptionally fresh. This pedestrian path was completely incomparable to the Zhangjiajie Glass Grand Canyon path yesterday. The Zuolong Gorge plank road was simple and simple, all made of steel and challenging. Of course, safety must come first. As we got deeper, the canyon became deeper. One-third of the way, my son and I took a break to replenish our energy. We also took off our raincoat, feeling that it was another burden. After the rest, the difficulty of the canyon plank road challenge gradually escalated. It used to be a flat road, but now it is inlaid with iron chain steel nails in the canyon. I also reminded my son to slow down and pay attention to safety. The little guy felt that the difficulty had escalated and was suddenly very excited. Stimulated, but accelerated forward. The canyons are winding and winding, and sometimes only one person passes through it. The style of the deep canyons is difficult to describe with appropriate words. Each step is a surprise. There are no similar landform canyons on the river following the river in the Jiangnan area. Walking deep into the hinterland requires both hands and feet. It is extremely thrilling but not very scary. While climbing a certain cliff, it was about ten meters high, and there was a small waterfall next to it. My son was in front and I moved behind. I saw him suddenly slip, leaned back, and fell towards the waterfall next to him. Fortunately, I followed closely. I immediately supported him, then pulled him up, and observed the whole process of the little guy's fall. He didn't feel very afraid. He just shouted "Hey hey hey" a few times, but there was no fear on his face. Instead, he looked like a game. When he climbed to the flat ground to relax, When I asked him how he was doing it, I thought it would be okay as long as there was nothing to do. This hiking along the river in Zuolong Gorge was one of the itineraries of this trip. The various tests I gave my son were unexpected and very rewarding. I also had horizons in terms of willpower, physical strength, reflexes and other aspects.

After more than 2 hours of hiking along the river in Zuolong Gorge, we finally arrived at Xiaozhai Village, at the top of the canyon. We spent 50 yuan to buy a car back to the Furong Town Hotel. Following the eighteen turns of the mountain road down the mountain road, we finally understood the reason why it cost 100 yuan to charter a car from Furong Town to Zuolong Gorge five or six kilometers. It was really difficult for the people of Xiangxi! No wonder it is a place for targeted poverty alleviation. After arriving at the hotel, I changed my body and had a late lunch at a restaurant called "September's Mom's Breakfast Shop" in front of the hotel. I ordered rice noodles for a change. My son still ordered Xiangxi specialty noodles and asked him not to put spicy rice. However, September's mother said that the spicy rice was a little slightly spicy. After the pepper test a few days ago, my son thought that this slightly spicy rice should work. Unexpectedly, after this bowl of noodles was served, the slightly spicy rice became super spicy in his son's mouth. He drank water crazily. Later, I couldn't eat it anymore, so I gave up this bowl of noodles and switched to rice noodles. I tasted this bowl of noodles, and it was indeed a bit spicy. I can only say that this newly promoted "September Mom" is a super spicy girl.

After replenishing the energy, he had more time in the afternoon. The father and son walked towards the ancient town hanging on the waterfall. To be honest, all kinds of ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River have been visited. The style of Furong Ancient Town cannot escape this custom. Almost all of them are the same, especially the more we go to the core area, the more people there will be and the more noisy commercialization will become. Instead, we went down to a square next to the battery sightseeing bus parking lot outside the ancient town. It should be a local residential area. It was relatively quiet, with the waterfall falling, which was very suitable for walking. At that time, we remembered the ancient street smell like our hometown. We didn't even look at our mobile phones. Navigation maps, bumping around randomly, and the chickens and dogs barking in residents 'homes were extremely lively. I like this kind of walking around the streets. In the end, the father and son walked back to the parking lot, took a battery sightseeing bus back to the hotel, and took a lunch break. After having dinner early in the evening, my son did some homework, and everyone rested, waiting for tomorrow's last itinerary-rafting!

DAY7

August 26:

As the trip draws to an end, today's project is also the rafting my son is most looking forward to. For this rafting, we stopped drifting yesterday due to heavy rain. We canceled the Aizhai Bridge attraction. For this rafting, we purchased water guns and raincoats on PDD in advance. My son kept talking about this rafting in his heart. I think so. He has grown up, and he has never taken him to play in real rafting.

Mengdong River Rafting is more than ten kilometers away from Furong Town. I originally wanted to take a chartered car or take local transportation to it. Later, there was a one-day tour package at the front desk of the hotel that was just the price of the rafting. It just bundled up the attraction of Dehang Miao Village. We have been to Miao Village in Guizhou, and I saw Dehang Miao Village in Ctrip. The comments on Dehang Miao Village were average. However, considering the transportation of Mengdong River Rafting, let's take a look at this given attraction. I thought I was traveling with a large group of people in a tour group, but I didn't expect that there was only a private car to pick us up in the morning. When I learned that there were only the two of us, wouldn't it be like enjoying VIP group services? The private car driver is actually a KTV owner who came here to help during the National Day. Hehe, it's better this way. There is no need to give us, father and son, all kinds of tricks for shopping and spending. We also chatted very happily on the way to Dehang Miao Village, and I also enjoyed this kind of chat with strangers on the trip that had no financial interest.

There is also more than 30 kilometers of road from Furong Town to Dehang Miao Village. The western Hunan area is basically mountain roads. Although there are many twists and turns, it is not very dangerous. Dehang Miao Village is right next to the Zhangjihuai Railway where we were going to experience the green leather train. At the gate of the village is the single-track railway. The train just thunders past, which is very distinctive. We and my son were honored to have a Miao female tour guide. She was short, plump and cute. Later, we talked and learned that there was a mother of three children. From the beginning, I told this beautiful Miao tour guide that we are just father and son. If you come and take care of it, it's easier to take care of us. Anyway, it's not easy to get a salary, so don't explain too much. We have been to Miao villages before, and we'll just rub into the next door group for the explanations later. This beautiful tour guide also smiled and understood the meaning. To be honest, she followed her along the way, and she really liked her silly smile, which was very simple in the mountains. It's not like the vanity of a prosperous city. This Dehang Miao Village is actually a targeted poverty alleviation project of the government. It was sold by various tour groups when they came to Xiangxi to visit. At first, I drank the wine at the entrance of the stockade. I experienced it in Qianhu Miao Village in Guizhou. This time I let my son experience it, and then watched their brief singing and dancing, and then went in to watch their wedding room flowers and candles show. I learned that Miao women have big heads, big breasts, and big buttocks. These are the customs of beautiful women. The next step was to arrange for us for a long period of time for shopping such as tea, medicinal materials, silverware, etc.. Fortunately, I had a rumor to the beautiful tour guide before. We had limited purchasing power and wanted to buy a silver product, but when we saw that the price was really high, we backed out. Later, I realized that I was a little impulsive at that time. Later, I still symbolically helped the poor with the medicinal materials and bought two bottles of Miao medicine. I thought that the price of today's one-day tour package was actually the price of a rafting ticket, which was used as transportation fee. It takes more than an hour to walk through this process, and it is nearly past 11 o'clock. We can only experience the flowing water table in Dehang Miao Village. However, it is just the two of us and my son. This long table and flowing water table is just a table, but it is like Qianhu Miao Village. There is no one there. This is also good and simple. I had the simplest lunch and prepared the most solemn program in the afternoon-Mengdong River Rafting.

From Dehang Miao Village to Mengdong River, it drifted through Furong Ancient Town. When the driver KTV owner got off the highway in Furong Town, he picked up someone from a small village next to the highway, and then drifted together to the Mengdong River. Because we had to catch the shuttle bus from Furong Town to Jishou in the afternoon, when we arrived at the Mengdong River Rafting Service Center, the world's number one drift, we quickly picked up our tickets, changed our clothes, put on our life jackets, and quickly got on the rafting raft.

After getting on the ten-seat raft, equipped with a boatman, we set out. I was assigned by my son to sit in the front row. He used it as a human protective shield. As soon as we set out, the human shield came into play. There was a small boat vendor on the river using a water gun made of PVC pipe as thick as an arm to shoot it straight at us. The power can be imagined. We can only parry it, and the water gun on the PDD can only have the power of flies and mosquitoes. This is great. Such a heavy weapon is so important that the little guy can rely on it. He doesn't care about the vendor's business routines and wants it anyway. Thinking about it's rare to come out and play HAPPY, I know the tricks but I still have to drill it, but I also bargain for it. It's worth it for my son to not have any regrets in the 20th ocean. The reason why Mengdong River rafting is called the best in the world is probably because it is seventeen to eighteen kilometers long. I think that this rafting is similar to the ravines and narrow streams in the Jiangnan area. The Mengdong River has a long section of smooth water. There are few places where the water is rapid. Most of them are artificially stacked with huge rocks. At these checkpoints, the people on our raft shouted and were extremely excited. However, having experienced the kind of rafting in Jiangnan, I think this kind of excitement is also a child's matter. Next time I have the opportunity to take my son to Jiangnan, but the mileage there will be shorter. However, when we were in the middle section of the Mengdong River rafting, the boatman rowed our raft under the waterfall, and the water from the waterfall poured down on us. This instant beating made the people on the raft shout and shout to the extreme of excitement. To be honest, the rafting distance is too long, and it is really too much for people to sit down in the second half. I stand up from time to time and move the PP that is wet by lake water or sweat to separate it from my pants. This will make it more comfortable. During the second half of the rafting, I looked at the Baidu map on my mobile phone from time to time to find out how long it was to the terminal. Although there was no signal from time to time in the mountains, it was too long and the distance to take it. Finally we saw the stone arch bridge between the canyons, which meant that we had arrived at the rafting terminal. After landing, we immediately washed ourselves and changed into dry clothes. The KTV owner and driver also took us back to Furong Town Station in a timely manner. Thank you very much for letting us enjoy such value-for-money services on this day. The train to Jishou will have to wait a while. I was exhausted by rafting. I replenished a bowl of the most rural rice tofu at the snack bar at the station, and then I still had time to buy some food on the high-speed train the next day from the station supermarket. It can be regarded as the last time to miss this station that brought back memories of my childhood (back and forth three times).

At around six o'clock in the evening, I arrived in Jishou City, western Hunan. On the way, I saw Xiangjiugui Park. I was surprised to see that here, the dinner given by the hotel I stayed in Jishou for Ctrip reasons was not negotiated and compensated in cash. The father and son found a local restaurant with a unique flavor at the Jishou Railway Station to eat the last meal of the trip and ordered fish in sour soup. The taste was even better than the taste in Kaili, Guizhou a few years ago. His son also had a big appetite and ate three bowls of white rice in a row. Little guy, Good job. After eating and drinking, I went back to the hotel to rest early and prepared to go home the next day.

DAY8:

August 27

After I got up early alone, I first went to the bus station next to Jishou Railway Station to buy a bus ticket to Huaihua High-speed Railway Station, and then commemorated it at the bus stop to Aizhai Bridge at the train station. After all, this was an attraction that I had done my homework to go but I didn't go to for various reasons. It's a pity that I couldn't go to. Let's commemorate it.

It wasn't much to go back to the hotel from the train station. There was a small road on the side that I deliberately bent it. It didn't take much to reach the small bridge across the Jiaoliu Railway. I stood on this small bridge and looked at the railway built in the last century. Running back and forth on passenger and freight trains, time stagnating, and countless thoughts, thousands of words, which were difficult to express...

We father and son will remember this journey and time!

Farewell, Zhangjiajie! Farewell, Xiangxi! Farewell, the unforgettable summer vacation of 2020!
