In fact, I didn't have any expectations for my little Xixi.
You know, raise one child according to the book, raise the second child as a pig...
Er ~ Of course, my second son, Princess Xixi, has a strong desire for survival and has no way to raise her as a pig!
I asked her two days ago, you have been to so many places, what do you like best?
Princess Xi Xi said, I like China!
As parents, we were suddenly ashamed.
After traveling through so many countries in the world, should we take our children to explore more about my beautiful Greater China?
So, at the age of 3, at an age when he can already perceive the world with his own thoughts,
We walked into Zhangjiajie, a place not too far from Guangzhou!

Before reading the text, let's take a video first.
The good scenery, one person and one child, is presented more three-dimensionally in the video.

The sound and light drama of ancient love, Xiangxi folk customs are performed here.

Wulingyuan National Park in Zhangjiajie, surrounded by clouds and clouds,

Jinbian Creek, full of childlike interests,

There is also the majestic Tianmen Mountain National Park,

Although time flies by and one person and one child, we don't seem to have left anything behind.
This is also the first time I have taken my child to challenge mountain climbing. Get new skills!

In fact, most of the tours in Zhangjiajie revolve around two national forest parks.
One is Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park located near the urban area of Zhangjiajie.

One is Zhangjiajie (Wulingyuan) National Forest Park located in Wulingyuan.

The two forest parks each have their own characteristics and are about an hour's drive apart.
Therefore, how to play, choosing where to live, and which park is closer to is a learning.

This time, based on my own itinerary, I chose to live near Xibu Street in Wulingyuan.
It is easy to go to Songcheng Qiangqin and Zhangjiajie (yuan) National Forest Park.
Moreover, the surrounding Xibu Old Street is also very prosperous. It is good to find food and go shopping at night.
I stayed on the last day of my return trip to Tianmenshan National Forest Park near Zhangjiajie City.
Take your luggage to the cableway, store your luggage, and then go to visit Tianmen Mountain.
After the trip, you can go directly to the airport (only 10 minutes by taxi).

Time is very limited, so I can only make the best of everything, but I can't travel too much with my three-year-old child.
Therefore, after thinking it over and over again, I have the following relatively easy and non-hurried itinerary:
Day1 (evening) Train Guangzhou-Zhangjiajie
Day2 train Guangzhou-Zhangjiajie
Play the love of the ages
Day3 Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan National Forest Park
Day4 Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park
(Evening) Plane Zhangjiajie-Guangzhou
Zhangjiajie is a place that is especially worth spending more time and savoring.
I just came and went in a hurry to get the essence!

From Guangzhou to Zhangjiajie, there are actually many transportation options.
For us with one child, air tickets are a bit expensive, but driving by car is too tiring, so taking the train is just right!
Get on the bus at eight o'clock in the evening, and you'll arrive the next morning after one night's sleep, so you don't miss any time for playing!

This is the first time for the children to take a sleeper train, so excited;
Because I am a child of the railway, when I was a child, I would take the train every summer vacation to go out to play;
The green train I haven't taken for a long time is still full of childhood memories.

The train was silent all night. When I arrived at Zhangjiajie, I immediately took a taxi to Xibu Street in Wulingyuan.

After thoroughly studying the strategy, we finally chose to live near Xibu Street in Wulingyuan.
It is easy to go to Songcheng Qiangguqing and Zhangjiajie (Wulingyuan) National Forest Park.

We booked a B & B at Tujia, Huazhu. All year round,
The location is just 30 meters away from Xibu Street and next to the landmark scenic spot crossing the river path.
An old house with a wooden archway looks like a family living place outside.
In fact, it's a bit wrong to say that a B & B is actually more like a super beautiful business hotel.

Enter this flower building. All year round, you will find that the entire layout and design is the style of a B & B, but it also has the atmosphere of a hotel.
Warm and small front desk. The eldest sister guarding the store was very nice. It didn't matter if we arrived early. She specially helped check the room and asked us to check in as soon as possible. She also asked Xi Xi if she had eaten and gave her a bottle of yogurt.

There is a retro style lobby cafe where you can also rest while checking in at the front desk.
Do you think this kind of flower building with the flavor of B & B and hotel is a B & B hotel or a hotel-style B & B?

It's called the "Four Seasons of the Year", so every room has a solar term as its name, which is easy to remember.

Spacious and comfortable living environment, this environment is comparable to a star-rated hotel.

The journey was hard, and I really didn't sleep comfortably on the train with my children the night before;
Now that I saw the bed, I didn't want to move, so I could take a break in the room.
After resting, based on the recommendation of the front desk lady, I found a restaurant in the alley that locals often eat.
In fact, there are many dining options on Xibu Street, but most of the ones I see with higher scores on the Internet are for tourists and are relatively expensive; sometimes you can ask locals and walk through the streets to find a good cost-effective place for local people to eat.

Sanxiaguo, also known as Tujia Sanxiaguo, is a specialty food in Zhangjiajie. In fact, it is mostly stewed bacon, tofu, and radish in one pot to make a "mixed dish", which tastes refreshing. However, the local population is too heavy, salty and spicy, which is really not suitable for children's tastes.
"It's okay, you can try this tube bone stewed radish!" The landlady enthusiastically recommended it to us.

When this big pot was served, it really tasted fresh and sweet, and the soup was rich and rich.
You can eat rice or drink soup. It turns out that even if you don't eat spicy food, you can find considerate choices in Hunan!
In this way, bringing children who don't eat spicy food to Hunan will no longer worry!

If you have enough food and rest properly, then enjoy this little vacation that belongs only to Xi Xi and I!

In the afternoon, Zhangjiajie is in the bright sun. In September, the temperature actually reaches 36 degrees hotter than Guangzhou.
Taking my children to climb mountains in such hot weather will probably kill my old mother!
I asked the landlady of Huazhu, in this weather, where is there a cool and fun place? It is not far away, and I can play all afternoon?
"It's an everlasting love!" The boss, who also has a child, blurted out,"Qiangu Qing's performance is air-conditioned indoors, and there is a performance at four o'clock in the afternoon. After the performance, there are many places for children to play in the scenic area, which will definitely be suitable for your children!"

So, for the first time, we walked into the Eternal Love Scenic Area of Songcheng.
"A must-see performance in a lifetime", they are seen in many well-known attractions in the country.
Sanya, Lijiang, Jiuzhai, Hangzhou... Although I have never experienced it before, I have heard of it many times.
This Eternal Love Scenic Area in Zhangjiajie is the latest one. It just officially opened at the beginning of this year.
It was actually a walking distance from Xibu Street, but in the sun, we chose to take a taxi and delivered it to the door for 6 yuan!

To enter the scenic spot, you must first cross an entire street of antique buildings, Dayong Ancient Street.
Not so much a commercial street, it is actually more like a Xiangxi cultural and folk village.
The shape is very beautiful, making people feel like traveling back to Zhangjiajie thousands of years ago in one second.
Moreover, everything here is covered with a roof, which blocks the scorching sun out of the greenhouse in such a sultry summer.
Regarding Xiangxi culture, whether it is food, clothing, or living customs, you can find it here.

The passionate and brave Hunan women are made into colorful dolls, which are quite suitable to take home as souvenirs.

Look at these small paper umbrellas, all of them are hand-drawn umbrella surfaces.
My little girl stood up and instantly transformed into an ancient lady.

There are also many snack bars on Dayong Ancient Street, all of which sell local specialty pancakes, stinky tofu, and chili sauce.
My snack food craving is online, and I can't walk when I come here!

Xiangxi's wine is also a unique one. It can be brewed with all kinds of grains and flowers.
Rose wine is sweet and good for the entrance, glutinous rice wine is mellow and does not burn the throat. It doesn't matter whether you buy it or not. Remember to try it before leaving!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, I was tired from shopping on Dayong Ancient Street, so I could just make it to the afternoon performance of "Eternal Love".

This is also the first time my chick has watched such a large-scale performance. Her curiosity made her have 100,000 why before it even started.
--What kind of performance is this? Are there any animals?
--Why do you turn off the lights?
--When does it start?
Baby, don't worry, it's starting soon!

"Zhangjiajie's Eternal Love" is divided into six chapters: "Canghai Sang Tian","Wuling Wonderland","Legend of Tianzi Mountain","Past Events in a Small Town","Masang Tree", and "Love in Xiangxi". It describes Zhangjiajie's formation from the crustal movement in ancient times, to the moving historical stories that it has been told for thousands of years, to the singing and crying heroic songs that have emerged in the land of Xiangxi in modern times, are presented to the audience one by one.

30 degrees north latitude is a magical latitude. It not only runs through the world's four major ancient civilizations, but also connects many magical places, such as the Bermuda Triangle, the legendary Atlantis, Mount Everest, and today, Zhangjiajie, where we are located, is also located at this magical latitude.

The story begins in ancient times, when Pangu first opened. At that time, the earth was still a large ocean... After fierce crustal movement, erosion by flowing water, extrusion and collapse, etc., the ocean created the unique Zhangjiajie we see today. The sandstone peak forest landform has since become famous around the world.

Humans who evolved from monkeys began to learn to use tools, drill wood to make fire, and then began to find suitable places for the group to live.
As a result, the beautiful Zhangjiajie became the new home of these humans.

"Spring is full of peach blossom water, and I don't know where to find the source of immortals." It is said that Tao Yuanming, the great poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, found a secret place in the world here and wrote a masterpiece "Peach Blossom Spring" that amazed the world. The second act,"Wuling Wonderland", of "Eternal Love", presents the beautiful fairyland of Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie at that time to us one by one with a background LED screen.

The third act,"Legend of Tianzi Mountain", tells the story of the love, hate, and hatred of Tujia children.
Xiang Dakun, a member of the Tujia ethnic group, was a leader of the Tujia ethnic group. He and his fiancee, whom he had been childhood sweethearts, were about to get married, but they were separated by the officers and soldiers who oppressed the people. The officers and soldiers wanted to occupy the charming place of Zhangjiajie, so they put the villagers who took the lead in resisting into water prison. Xiang Dakun led the Tujia people to fight against officers and soldiers, and opened up the water prison with his flesh and blood, but he also slept here.
After Xiang Wang's army was defeated, his fiancee took his body and would rather die than surrender and jumped out of Shentang Bay.

The beautiful Junnian beauty who is in love with each other can finally enjoy happiness in another world.

In order to commemorate Xiang Dakun, people honored him as King Xiang, renamed Qingyan Mountain in Zhangjiajie to Tianzi Mountain, and the gurgling creek in the mountains was named Jinbian Creek, which guarded this pure land.

Act 4 "Past Events in a Small Town". The prototype of the small town in Xiangxi in Shen Congwen's works should be Phoenix Town not far from Zhangjiajie!
The sunrise is accompanied by the stream, and the night comes to sleep with the fireflies. The stage becomes a spring water and a boat song. I look back at you.
Xiangxi is the most beautiful. It is the Hunan girl dancing lightly and the folk song sung under the moon.

What I have to say is that the stage beauty effect on the entire stage is indeed very good.
Sometimes it is like a lake, sometimes it is like a dream. Under the rendering of the lights, the graceful dance moves and touches the hearts of the spectators.

Act 5,"Masang Tree".
Corsaria tree is a common tree species in Zhangjiajie and a folk song widely circulated in the Zhangjiajie area,"Corsaria tree builds a lantern platform."
This is a revolutionary folk song popular in western Hunan that is sung duet by a man and a woman. The main idea of the lyrics is: Lang went to join the Red Army and wrote a letter back home, asking my sister to remarry and don't miss her youth; and his wife replied,'Don't worry about your husband and fight bravely to kill the enemy. My sister's heart will never change, waiting for you to return home.

Xiangxi is a revolutionary holy land. It was from here that Marshal He Long walked out of the mountains and led everyone to make revolution.
This scene in "Love through the Past" tells the magnificent song of men in western Hunan saying goodbye to their parents and loved ones, bravely rushing to the battlefield, and defending the motherland!

At the height of the war, in order to conquer an enemy-occupied bridge and allow the large force to advance smoothly;
An entire company composed of men from Xiangxi forgot about life and death and used flesh and blood to pave the way for the revolution.

When the entire party flag quietly fell from the sky, the entire theater reached the climax of the performance.
Let us remember that in our happy life today, the heroic men of Xiangxi who have emerged in large numbers once contributed their blood, which was bought by their heavy lives.

The curtain fell, and all the actors came out one by one to make a curtain call.
The one-hour performance was exciting and eye-catching.
The professionalism of the actors and the stunning beauty of the stage bring us a Zhangjiajie that we didn't understand before.

If Zhangjiajie is a secret place in Wulingyuan, then let this show take us to explore it!

It would be a waste if you only watch this sensuous show when you come to the ages!
In the scenic area of ancient love, in addition to grand stage performances, there are many fun things waiting for tourists to discover.

As soon as we came out of the theater, we encountered a grand event where a Tusi family in Xiangxi recruited a son-in-law.

In ancient China, the Tusi of Xiangxi had supreme authority in his jurisdiction and was a veritable "local emperor". In addition to overseeing the affairs of a party, he also maintained his own local army. Tusi is also a hereditary system. It seems that this Tusi only has one daughter, so the son-in-law he recruited may be the next Tusi!

This Tusi's daughter is really good-looking!
If you get the beauty back, you will still have the opportunity to turn a pheasant into a phoenix. This is really a good business worth trying.

The young lady dropped the hydrangea delicately and hit the new son-in-law in the crowd.
The lucky new son-in-law immediately put on new clothes and paid a visit to his future parents-in-law.
After passing three passes and killing six generals, you can return home with the beautiful woman, and you can enjoy happiness in the Tusi Mansion from now on!

However, what Xiao Xixi loves most is always the simplest and purest children's playground area in the park. Even the bumper cars and rides in Rotten Apple Park are not as interesting as this climbing frame and slide.

It also takes courage for a three-year-old child to slide down a slide as high as two stories.

She sat on the high scaffold and struggled for a long time.
I was a little scared to slide, but I seemed a little unwilling to get down, not to mention that it took courage to climb down from such a high shelf. I was waiting for her quietly below. Since I was not rushing, why not let her make her own choice?

In the end, Xi Xi bravely slipped down the slide! Way to go, my girl!

In the middle of the lake next to the children's activity area, there was suddenly the sound of music.
It turns out that there will be a trapeze show here.

The watercraft is a water flight amusement product invented by Frank Zapata of France. It uses the recoil power generated by the sprinkler on your feet to allow you to soar above the water. The usual flying altitude is about 15 meters.
I have played this project abroad before, but the balance is actually very difficult to grasp. It is not easy for people without training to even fly on the water, but the two performers cooperated tacitly and constantly staged scenes of walking on the water and somersaulting at high altitude, which is even cooler than the "Iron Man" in the movie.

What's even more amazing is that I suddenly discovered that one of the motorboats had no driver. That is to say, the flying trapeze in the sky was not only controlling himself, but also controlling the motorboat under his feet. This was really superb!

After watching the Flying Man on Water, the sun is about to set and the weather is getting cooler. This is a good time to play the empty sky corridor in the scenic area!
This air corridor connects several attractions in the scenic area. Walking around the air can also experience another feeling of flying.

However, walking on the suspended Internet, do you really dare?

Well, look at my little Xixi, she's finished it all! Come back victorious like a hero!

As soon as the lights were on, Dayong Ancient Street was also lit up with colorful lights like ordinary streets.
Shuttling through it is like walking into a commercial street in ancient times, with both sides overwhelmed.

It's time to eat. How about a bowl of wine?
After drinking it, you can drop the bowl and throw away all the bad luck! Come on, make a toast!

I thought Qianjin Qing was a big show, but I didn't expect there to be so many fun things here.
Even in one afternoon, we didn't even walk through the entire scenic area.
In addition to the ones we have played, the scenic area also has a "ghost house" suitable for daring adults (it takes more than 1.4 meters to enter), as well as ancient costume flash packs that may appear anytime and anywhere (I will cry if I don't catch up), as well as water parks and rotten apple parks suitable for big friends and children to experience together...
Speaking of which, there is no problem playing here for a day.
The key is, as long as you buy tickets for the Eternal Love, all these entertainment facilities and performances will be free!
Therefore, the Qianggu Love Scenic Area is not just a big show. In addition to watching the show, remember not to miss it!

Hearing that she would go climbing on this day, Princess Xi Xi had already climbed up long ago.
100,000 Why are they online again,
--Is mountain climbing fun?
--You said there are monkeys on the mountain. Where do they live?
--Why take the cable car?
--Is there a playground on the mountain?

Okay, okay, children, when you go up the mountain, won't you know everything?

From Xibu Street to Zhangjiajie (Wulingyuan) National Forest Park, a taxi costs only a few yuan.
However, due to daily traffic restrictions, you must remember to buy tickets online in advance during peak season.
Although the season we came was not the peak season, we still bought tickets in advance in accordance with the rules (children are free of charge).
After arriving, you can redeem directly at the window!
However, it should be noted that Zhangjiajie (Wulingyuan) National Forest Park has many entrances,
When buying tickets, remember to choose the entrance closest to you. I chose the sign door closest to Xibu Street!

"They will come, like the endless rain."-- The movie "Avatar".

I knew about Zhangjiajie very early, probably because I had too many beautiful rivers and mountains in Greater China, and I didn't have the urge to go there specifically.
What really made me want to make up my mind to kiss my beauty was "Avatar", a movie from the United States.

As we all know,"Avatar" was filmed in Zhangjiajie.
The fairyland surrounded by clouds and mist, the dreamy floating castle,
Does Nandao really exist in Zhangjiajie?

Today, when an incomparably clear, shocking and wonderful spectacle is presented in front of me,
I feel that this is not Pandora,
This is our earth, our motherland, our Zhangjiajie,
It's really like in movies, with a native, uncomplicated ecology and a shocking scenery.

I don't know how much Princess Xi Xi can appreciate this beautiful scenery;
But I hope that such a beautiful scenery can stay in her mind and let her remember the true and pure beauty.
This is nature, this is what the earth originally looks like; the earth, where there were no tall buildings, is not a concrete forest!

In fact, Zhangjiajie (Wulingyuan) National Forest Park is very large. If you play carefully, you can play it for 2-3 days.
But time was limited, there was only one day, and we wanted to collect all the essence of it, so we asked the homeowner,
The landlady gave a route suggestion, and she felt that she could play all the best in one day!

After changing the tickets, we chose the opposite route to most tourists.
Take the cableway up the mountain from Tianzigou, and then go back to the Yuanjia boundary.
I have to say that the landlady's suggestion is extremely correct and wise.
Because it was completely staggered from most tour groups, it gave us an unmanned fairyland, Tianmengou.

Yes, when I got on the cableway and started climbing, I really thought I had entered a fairyland.
The clouds covered in fog have a visibility of almost tens of meters.
I was a little worried at that time. Will our journey end like this? We can only see the front twenty meters?

The cableway is very long. The Tianzishan cableway is 2084 meters long, and the height difference between the stations at both ends is 692 meters. From bottom to top, the journey takes about 10 minutes, and it seems to escape into a fairyland, and then travel through time and space.

At first, I was worried that Xiao Xixi would be afraid, but in the end, she was leisurely and even leaned on the glass to do various research.
--Mom, where are we going?
--Mom, look there is a tree there...
--Mom, are there really monkeys in this mountain?

Okay, okay, don't disturb me. This is such a rare opportunity and such a beautiful place. I'm recording a video.
However, the cable car inevitably wobbles when it passes through the clouds. Fortunately, there is a Feiyu stabilizer.

In fact, I am a very lazy person. I still use my mobile phone to take videos even when I have a camera. This is evidence.
So bring an extra stabilizer when you go out? I originally refused in my heart. In the end, he saw Feiyu!
Not expensive is the key. The price that is close to the people feels that it doesn't matter if you buy it and use it frequently!
"The entry level is completely enough!" I really agree with it when I think about it, and recently I just happened to enter the Huawei Mate20 that I like.
It was very suitable to match, so I bought it directly.

The cableway passes through the clouds, and you can vaguely see the towering mountains in front of you like floating castles.
Mountaineering cableways shuttle through the clouds and clouds. "This is no ordinary scene," a seemingly senior photographer next to me told me.
Oh, I recovered from my daze and watched the cableway shuttle through the clouds like playing a game.

Then I saw the cableway passing through the rain and fog to reach the station on the top of the mountain.

This may be a rare opportunity only once a month to capture Wulingyuan between the clouds and mist.
It's like the floating castle in the "Avatar" movie, in the clouds and mist.

Immediately use the tripod of the Feiyu Stabilizer to set up the mobile phone and start time-lapse shooting.
Looking at the changes in the mountains, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, a mobile phone + stability can solve it.

Come and watch the video!

From the top of the cableway in Tianzigou to the direction of Yuanjiajie, you can take a bus or walk.
The first stop stops at Helong Park.

You can see Tianzi Mountain in Helong Park. Legend has it that Tujia hero Xiang Dakun jumped off the cliff here.
According to local people, since Xiang Wang jumped off the cliff, every time he encountered heavy rain, smoke and clouds filled the valley, and the sound of water and rocks colliding was faint, as if gongs and drums were beating, or people were shouting horses. It is widely rumored in the local area that King Xiang is not dead and is still training his troops.
After hundreds of years, King Xiang has not died. It is just a good wish of the people!

I thought He Long Park was to commemorate Marshal He Long, who was born here.
Unexpectedly, in this park, there is almost the most beautiful "West Sea Peak Forest" in the entire Zhangjiajie.
Stone peaks rise from the valley alone, in various shapes and graceful shapes, appearing from time to time under the mist.
It was as if dozens of beautiful women had walked out of a fairyland, half covering their faces with their pipa.

I suddenly remembered the scenes in "Avatar". Those scenes that were fantasy but also had archetypes.
Whether it is strange animals or beautiful plants, such as fluorescent insects like helicopters, jellyfish-like seeds flying all over the sky,
It's like a God who led all audiences to implant into this world, a world that is enough to make you sigh and unforgettable with everything in front of you.

Even the baby Xi Xi was so excited by the beautiful scenery.

However, the weather in the mountains here in Zhangjiajie really changes at will.
It felt like a whole dark cloud was about to float over, as if it was going to rain soon.

Then hurry up and retreat!

When you come out of Helong Park, if you have enough time, don't miss Tianzi Pavilion.
This is now the Tujia B & B Museum, with tour guides to learn about various customs and cultures of the Tujia people.
If you are interested in the "three evil spirits of Xiangxi" such as corpse chasing, poison, charm, etc., welcome to come here.
Wait, why would you be interested?

When you come out of Helong Park, there are transportation buses that can go directly to Yuanjiajie.

Yuanjiajie was the place where the "Avatar" movie was filmed in Zhangjiajie.
The castle floating in the air brings infinite reverie and shock visually.
"It is a steep and independent peak forest canyon. Huangshizhai Fangshan can be seen in the peak forest. It is more than 1000 meters above sea level. It is a viewing platform formed by cutting and separating a sandstone platform. It is surrounded by cliffs and greenery. Sunny and rainy morning and evening, and the scenery is different and breathtaking."

However, after measuring the mountain road with her legs for most of the day, my little girl couldn't stand it anymore!
On the eco-friendly car going to Yuanjiajie in Tianzigou, she usually had to coax her for a long time to sleep and fell asleep.
She didn't wake up until she got off the bus...

Imagine carrying a 30-pound camera bag on your back and holding a 30-pound little person in front of you.
I have to say that even if it is the most beloved travel, taking care of a child alone is still "not easy to say I love you."

Fortunately, he slept in the car for more than half an hour, and soon after getting off the car, the child woke up.
The secret to attracting her to wake up instantly and jumping off the ground from my arms turned out to be mountain cliffs and cantilever glass bridges!
This courageous little girl has a character like me, like me...

This is Wulingyuan's famous "No. 1 Bridge in the World"!
A curved arch bridge is naturally formed between the two mountains, properly connecting two stone pillars with a drop of thousands of meters.

"The No. 1 Bridge in the World" is a masterpiece of nature, which gives it a magical and beautiful landscape.
However, if you want to get the best view of the bridge, you can't do it from the bridge.
"I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, I just want to be in this mountain." Ah, if you want to take photos, you have to go around the plank road behind the bridge.

Two independent stone roads are connected by natural nature as if they were artificially built.
The lush green and boundless abyss underneath explain the incredible beauty.

Why is the "first bridge in the world" circling on the mountain road like a red ribbon? It turns out that the locals believe that this naturally formed arch bridge is a masterpiece of gods and can be used to pray for blessings. Therefore, many people who walk here will buy a red silk ribbon for their families, write on their wishes and blessings, and tie it to the bridge.
I don't know whether I can pray for blessings, but since I have this intention, I might as well take my family to Zhangjiajie for a visit and explore the beauty of Greater China!

In fact, the "first bridge in the world", also known as the Lianxin Bridge, is actually a hollow steel structure bridge.
Pay attention to your steps when you walk by, and you can directly see the valley thousands of meters below.
"Is this the glass bridge?" Xiao Xixi asked.
"It's not a glass bridge, but it's as scary as a glass bridge!"

Standing on the bridge body of the "World's No. 1 Bridge", you can see the towering stone pillars in the valley.
It is said that these stone pillars have an average altitude of more than 1000 meters, and the valley is so deep that there is no bottom.
The steep cliff as if it had been cut by a knife makes people wonder whether there were really skilled craftsmen from nature who personally painted this wonderful scene.

For Xiao Xixi, there is nothing more interesting than watching fish; if there is, it is feeding the fish!
Take out the buns in your pockets, tear them up bit by bit and feed them to the small fish. It's such an interesting thing that you can't even walk!

Compared with the two mountains next to the "First Bridge in the World" that we have already joined hands, this "Qiankun Pillar" seems a little lonely.
A person, er no, a mountain, standing alone in the middle of the valley, attracts countless tourists from all over the world to come and see the real face.
Oh, by the way, it also has another name, called Xuanfu Mountain. It turns out that this is the original location of the Xuanfu Mountain shooting in the Avatar movie.

The loneliness of Xuanfushan is obvious. Because it seems that no matter from any angle, you can capture its lonely figure soaring into the sky.
There are many observation platforms. How to find the most suitable angle and the least people depends on your own skills!

After crossing the first bridge in the world and seeing Piaofu Mountain, the compact trip to Wulingyuan Forest Park in Zhangjiajie was completed on this day.
Where should I go next?
My Xixi is so tired that she sits on the ground and refuses to get up!

Then since you are not rushing, just sit down and rest for a while!
Stop pouting your little mouth that you can hang an oil bottle!

--Xi Xi, show Mom your hands!
--Oh, my God! Are you a little monkey crawling on the ground?

Who? Who's calling me?
I have long heard that there are monkeys everywhere in Zhangjiajie, and mountain kings are usually swaggering around the city and robbing people's food. They are very domineering!
Just as he wanted to say why we didn't see the monkey, he brought his family to report!

The two monkeys suddenly jumped out of the woods by the roadside, which scared me.
It turned out that an uncle in front of him was chewing a piece of corn. The two mountain kings saw their lunch!

Put on a fierce look in the corridor, and everyone who walks by will show their teeth and grin,
I'll give you a show of power, remember to leave the money to buy the road!

Okay, okay! You can't afford to offend me or hide!

Continue to take the cable car to Bailong Elevator.
The tallest outdoor elevator, the tallest double-decker sightseeing elevator, the fastest passenger elevator with the largest load,
This is an outdoor elevator known as the "world's first elevator". It took 3 years and cost 180 million yuan.
The exterior looks magnificent, like a dragon leaning against the mountain.

This "world's first ladder" is a landmark scenic spot facility for Zhangjiajie.
From then on, you can realize the perfect cableway entrance and elevator exit without going back!

I didn't expect that it would be cloudy and gray all day long on the mountain.
As soon as I went down the mountain, I encountered blue skies and white clouds and good weather.

Walking down the mountain from Bailong Elevator, you will be at the pick-up position of the transportation shuttle. This is the entrance to Jinbian Creek.
Jinbian River is a 7-kilometer-long canyon at the foot of Wulingyuan Mountain.
Surrounded by mountains and mountains, gurgling streams flow through it. In the hot summer, among the green trees, it is still refreshing here.
There are no means of transportation in Jinbian Creek and Shili Gallery, which is more suitable for tourists who have time to walk slowly.
Especially because Wulingyuan tickets are valid for four days, if you are free, you can arrange a special day to play here.
But we did have limited time, and the children were very tired, so we played in the water at the mouth of Jinbian Creek and left!

Xiao Xixi's first independent mountain climbing trip was successfully completed!

I called a drop from a B & B to Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park, but I didn't expect the driver to drive into the city.
Where the car stopped, I was completely confused. Where are there mountains here?
It turned out that the entrance to the cableway station of Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park was actually in the center of the city.
It is within walking distance of the train station and about 15 minutes 'drive to the airport.
Therefore, generally speaking, you can arrange your trip to Tianmen Mountain on the last day before leaving.
You can store your luggage at the baggage storage area at the cableway station,
Climbing mountains in the morning, pick up your luggage and go straight to the train station or airport after you come back in the afternoon!

Tianmen Mountain, known as Yunmeng Mountain and Songliang Mountain in ancient times, is the highest mountain in Yongding District of Zhangjiajie and the earliest famous mountain to be recorded in history.
Generally speaking, a one-day trip to Tianmen Mountain is divided into two routes: AB.
Line A is on the cableway, elevator + bus off; line B is on the bus + elevator, and cableway;
To go to Tianmen Mountain, you need to book tickets and routes online in advance.
Especially in the peak season, the ropeway passenger capacity is limited, so there is no ticket without booking!

The entire Tianmen Mountain Cableway starts from the city center and passes through the Urban area and the railway station. It is more than 7000 meters long and climbs more than 1,000 above sea level.
It takes about half an hour to complete the entire journey.

The mountains in Zhangjiajie have rough lines, which are different from the graceful beauty of other peaks in the south of the Yangtze River.
The long cableway with a total length of 7455 meters runs through the steep mountains,
The height difference exceeds 1,000 meters, making it the cableway with the largest local slope in the country, and it is also the cableway with the most supports.

After the cableway reaches the top of the mountain, there are two walking routes, the east line and the west line. If you have enough time, you can take the east line and circle around the west line, and finally reach Tianmen Cave, and take the elevator and sightseeing bus to go down the mountain. If you are short on time, you can take the western line directly to Tianmen Cave.

I didn't understand the precipitousness of Tianmen Mountain before going up the mountain.
Unexpectedly, all the plank roads on the mountain were built according to the mountain conditions, and the mountain was cleverly utilized according to local conditions.
To build a plank road on such a high cliff, I have to admire the courage and wisdom of the architect.

The plank road is not wide and only allows two people to pass side by side.
Outside the hollow railing is the Baizhang Cliff. People who are afraid of heights may faint just by looking at it!

It is said that a couple recently jumped off a cliff on Tianmen Mountain's most famous glass plank road.
The scenery is beautiful and love is closer to sublime, but life is precious. Without life, how can love be?

In fact, Tianmen Mountain has a total of three glass plank roads, one on the east side and two on the west side.
Among them, the glass plank road hanging on the west line of Tianmen Peak has an altitude of 1430 meters at its highest point. It is one of the first glass plank roads built in my country.
Because it was the earliest, it was the most well-known and had the largest number of people.
If you don't want to crowd people, you can actually consider the two plank roads on the eastern line, making it easier to take photos!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xixi, who was on the glass plank road for the first time, did not feel afraid at all.

At the beginning, she followed the slow-moving crowd and moved forward step by step. She still leaned against the glass guardrail on the outside and wanted to look down. She was full of curiosity, but she caught me behind her. She broke out in a cold sweat.

Looking down at your feet, the reflective glass reflects more of the blue sky and white clouds. The abyss is actually not scary at all.

However, the flow of people on the glass plank road is too large, and it is not easy to find a suitable place to take photos.
So choosing the earliest time in the morning or the latest time in the afternoon may make it easier to take your favorite photos.
In addition, the two new glass plank roads on the western line are worth trying.

Walking on the West Line is a thrilling plank road.

More than 80% of the scenic tours on Tianmen Mountain are suspended from the cliff and coiled on the mountain wall, overlooking the mountains.
Walking on the plank road, you can see the steep and steep peaks standing tall among thousands of miles of mountains and rivers as if they were cut by a knife.

This section of the plank road was built in the sky along the mountain.
Walking on the wooden plank road is like walking on a covered bridge in the sky. But my little Xixi is not afraid.
Is it because she is taller that she is more courageous than her peers?

Standing on the plank road and looking down the mountain, you can see the winding road, which is also the road we will have to go down the mountain in a while.
I have also driven the 99 bend of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway myself. It can be said that the winding road of Tianmen Mountain is not at all easier than that.
There are nearly a hundred corners, of which it is said that the most dangerous section was successfully built after scientific demonstration and design.

After turning a corner, Tianmen Cave came towards you in the dusk.
As a very unique geological spectacle, Tianmen Cave has the world's highest altitude natural mountain cave. Tianmen Cave hangs on a cliff at an altitude of more than 1300 meters. It is 131.5 meters high, 57 meters wide and 60 meters deep. It is a legendary representative.
Many international wingwear competitions have been held here.

Next to Tianmen Cave, there is an elevator installed in a mountain tunnel for the first time in the world. It can pass straight through the cave from the top of the cave to the bottom of the cave.
The mountain-crossing elevator runs all the way in the mountain tunnel, from the bottom of Tianmen Cave to the top of the mountain. There are 12 sections in total. The total length of the escalator steps is 897 meters, the lifting height is 340 meters, and the total span is 692 meters. It is said that this mountain elevator has been built for 3 years. During this period, many building problems were overcome before it was finally realized.

It actually takes a full 20 minutes to get there by taking the elevator from the top of Tianmen Cave to the bottom of the cave.
Such a long elevator is really impossible to achieve without superb construction technology and wisdom.

There is a pool of water at the bottom of Tianmen Cave. It is said that this is because the mountain is Yang and the water is Yin. In order to balance Yin and Yang, a pool of water was specially dug here.
There is not much water, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual.

Walking down from Tianmen Cave is 1000 steps.
You think we just walked down? You're thinking too much again, haha!
If you don't want to take the stairs, you can continue to take the elevator.
But I finally ended another day of mountain climbing happily.
My little Xixi successfully challenged the two-day alpine journey. She was alive and kicking throughout the journey without crying or making trouble. She was awarded the title of "Angel Baby" by her mother!

Years later, when my little daughter was just growing up,
Maybe she will forget the scenery of the hills,
But she will definitely remember her mother's company,
Remember those quiet nights that belonged only to us,
In my dream, there is my mother's bedtime story and warm embrace.
In my dream, there are those days when I used to travel hand in hand together,
Hercules mother's omnipotence and love for her.
