Zhangjiajie is a very beautiful place. It not only has unique natural scenery, but also has a rich national culture. It is also the location of many film and television works such as "Avatar" and "Journey to the West", so it is deeply loved by travel enthusiasts.

Although Zhangjiajie is fun, it is very big. You can spend four days with a ticket. Most of them are mainly for viewing mountain landscapes, so there is no need to go on a lot of hiking. Although you can take the bus in the scenic area for free after buying a ticket, the bus is also only the entrance to some scenic spots. If you want to enjoy the most beautiful scenery, you have to walk a lot, so it is naturally quite difficult.

It is for this reason that Zhangjiajie's sedan chair carriers came into being. Their appearance gave tourists who did not like to walk, or were old and frail, an additional choice. They could save more time and physical strength, and only needed to pay an extra part of the money.

However, Yu Fan noticed that although whenever tourists walked by, they would proactively come forward and ask if they would sit in a sedan chair, not many people actually sit in a sedan chair. Most of the time, these sedan chair carriers were idle and erected the sedan chair on the roadside.

We noticed that these sedan chairs are relatively simple and do not have a good experience when sitting. Even the basic safety buckles are incomplete. I guess this is an important reason why many people are reluctant to sit.

Occasionally, I see tourists sitting in a sedan chair, either one big and one small sitting in a sedan chair, or they are older elderly people. For them, they can spend some money to reduce physical consumption and feel that it is still very worthwhile.

The sedan chair bearer is still very particular about lifting the sedan chair. For example, when going on a steep slope, he must lift the passenger's back to the front, which is equivalent to moving forward halfway down the mountain. Otherwise, if he faces the front, he will easily be thrown out on the way down the mountain. Therefore, many people know that being carried will save more energy, but they still dare not hand over their safety to the sedan chair bearer. They would rather work harder than sit in the sedan chair.

Yu Fan noticed that passengers sitting on it did not have safety measures similar to seat belts. It was uncomfortable to sit on it when going up and down steep slopes. According to Youge, who had sat on it, they were very scared when going down the mountain. I was worried that they would roll down the mountain, so I always asked them to slow down. When there was flat ground, I hoped that the sedan couriers could rest more so as not to affect their safety due to their tiredness.

Sedge-chair carriers are purely physical work and very hard work. Especially in summer, almost our whole body will be soaked in sweat when we carry them. Let alone carrying tourists, even if we walk by ourselves, we often sweat. Therefore, it is not expensive for them to earn 50 yuan per person per lift, and we can't run a few times a day. I heard from a master that if they do not rest a month, they can usually earn about 10,000 yuan. Although it is very hard, they are also very content.
