Perseverance 丨 dispersing as soon as you say

I never expected that three years of love would not be worth three months of long-distance travel. Everything happened suddenly, but there were early signs. After the start of graduate school, contact gradually decreased, and the only meeting seemed so indifferent. I thought it was just a lack of interaction in life, with fewer topics and a lack of communication between us. I never expected that this might be a precursor to a breakup.

I have also thought that we may not be able to walk together forever. But I didn't expect that we would end up so quickly for this reason. Nowadays, the reason for our breakup is truly despairing.

Three years of love is a sweet memory for you, but a poison for me. Along with the collapse of love, there are also beliefs and life goals. The current outcome is like a mockery of my hard work in the past three years. From then on, it's hard for me to believe in love anymore. The former me, so believing, so persistent, so obsessed with love, but everything eventually vanished into thin air.

You left so decisively that all attempts to persuade you were meaningless. In the new year, as I walk a long way, perhaps I will let go.

During my two years in Zhangjiajie, a new guide was released every year because the more I learned about this city, the more I loved this place and the more I could share. I sincerely hope to convey the most beautiful and essence of this city to more people, so that more people can understand the real Zhangjiajie. As the saying goes, if you haven't been to Zhangjiajie yet, then you must bookmark this article because it's a city you will definitely visit once no matter what. If you have already been to Zhangjiajie, then this article should also be helpful to you, because it is a city that you will definitely want to visit again after visiting once. The latest and most comprehensive information, the most practical route, Zhangjiajie is definitely worth visiting again~~

This way, you won't miss any worthwhile places to visit in Zhangjiajie, and you won't come for nothing!! Thank you to our tour guide Xiaoyan.

Travel Overview | Weekend Relaxation Tour

1、 This trip is suitable for office workers to relax on weekends

This trip was originally designed to relax on the weekend, so the itinerary was arranged in a more relaxed manner, and there was no intention to wander around the scenic spots. Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon (where the famous Glass Bridge is located) is too far, about a 4-hour drive, so I didn't go. Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area is currently undergoing renovation and is not open to the public. Therefore, this trip revolves around Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is already very large, and it takes 3-4 days to visit all the classic attractions. Therefore, it is enough to visit Zhangjiajie National Forest Park for two days this weekend, as there is no time to go to other attractions. (In fact, it is not necessary to visit all the scenic spots, because the scenery is the same, and visiting all the scenic spots is nothing more than walking around the scenery. It is better to directly find the best viewing location, and then take a look and take photos.)

Of course, abandoning the famous Glass Bridge and Tianmen Cave is a pity. But isn't life just about letting go. I always want to visit Zhangjiajie all at once, just wait and wait, I don't know when I can wait for the five or six day vacation. Finally, when Labor Day and National Day were celebrated, it was crowded again and I didn't want to go. So, my suggestion is to just leave and not forget the essence of travel. Don't just check in for the attractions. When it comes to traveling, the most important thing is to be happy.

For friends who want to relax on weekends, just follow the itinerary in this travelogue. God knows I'm tired of this strategy. I can't tell Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot in Zhangjiajie from glass walkway in Glass Bridge.

5、 Essential Image - Distribution Map of Scenic Spots and Attractions

This is also a picture of Ctrip's Sanxiang, borrowed here because it is also very important! The scenic spots in Zhangjiajie are scattered one by one, and generally speaking, they are visited together as a whole. This trip visited several areas: Yuanjiajie, Laowuchang, Daguantai, and Tianzishan. As mentioned earlier, there is actually no need to go to every district. At the beginning, we saw the same scenery in Yuanjiajie and later in Laowuchang, but the view in Laowuchang was much broader and more beautiful! Therefore, it is unnecessary to force the scenic spots to clock in, focusing on the essence scenic spots.

Day 1 | First entry to Zhangjiajie

1、 Arriving at Zhangjiajie city center

I took the train departing at 8pm on Friday to Zhangjiajie, sleeper, and arrived at Zhangjiajie Railway Station at 9:30am on Saturday morning. The timing of this train is very good, I recommend it to all Guangzhou office workers.

After arriving at Zhangjiajie Railway Station, to the left of the door is a large supermarket and Zhangjiajie Central Bus Station. I suggest everyone buy some snacks and fruits from the supermarket first and bring them up the mountain, otherwise the mountain will be the standard scenic spot price!

2、 Arriving at Zhangjiajie Forest Park

Then, the key is, how to get from Zhangjiajie Railway Station to the Forest Park scenic area?! Never trust the people who are soliciting customers at the train station entrance! Go out of the railway station, turn left and go directly to the bus station. Go directly through the security check. There are buses to Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot Ticket Station and Forest Park Ticket Station!!! Very convenient!

3、 The itinerary officially begins

If you go to Zhangjiajie, it is nothing more than Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot Ticket Station and Forest Park Ticket Station. We chose Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot ticket station this time because it was late to arrive in Zhangjiajie, and we ran to the Hallelujah Mountain in Yuanjiajie at the beginning (there were surprises behind).

Take a bus at Zhangjiajie Bus Station, arrive at Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot, finish lunch, and then just go up the mountain.

4、 Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot Ticket Station

I must praise the ticket for Zhangjiajie Scenic Area here. It's a card with great collectible value. (Every time I travel, I always carefully collect all the tickets and other receipts.)

After purchasing tickets at the ticket station and passing through a long passage, you can officially enter the scenic area. At the scenic area, it is necessary to take an eco-friendly car from the beginning. Because there are hardly any scenic spots on the eco-friendly bus route, only common cement roads. So we took a car directly to get off at Bailong Tianti Station.

5、 Bailong Heavenly Ladder

There is an observation deck next to Bailong Tianti Station, but to be honest, compared to the scenery behind it, it's quite ordinary! Moreover, due to the large number of people, it is also difficult to take beautiful photos. But the Hundred Dragon Sky Ladder is still worth a ride. It can quickly climb hundreds of meters in a few minutes, and it's made of transparent glass. Watching the scenery gradually shrink in front of me is particularly satisfying~

6、 Yuan Jiajie

After arriving at the Bai Long Tian Ti station, we took the scenic area environmental protection car and arrived at the Yuan family boundary. The attractions of Yuanjiajie include the Lost Soul Terrace, Hallelujah Mountain, the First Bridge in the World, and the Viewing Bridge Pier. The most famous attraction is Mount Hallelujah, which is the floating mountain in the movie Avatar.

At first glance, it was quite shocking, like a straight boulder soaring into the sky. But the location may be limited, and no matter how hard we try, we cannot capture that stunning effect. But it's okay, the view of Tianzishan behind is broader and can take better photos.

I personally think that the scenery of the Yuan family is very spectacular, but without a wide-angle DSLR, it is difficult to capture that stunning effect. However, the surprise came later.

7、 Sanchakou and Dingxiangrong

The surprise is right here! When taking an eco-friendly car from the world's first bridge to the three-way intersection, the mountain passes through a few fine snow scenes. But for southerners who have seen snow for the first time in over twenty years, it is a big surprise! I was pleasantly surprised when I got off the car and jumped on the snow twice before falling down.

Because it had just snowed a few days ago and the snow on the mountain had not completely melted, I happened to pick up a big bargain. The original plan to go skiing in Changbai Mountain was not successful, and in the end, I also saw snow on Zhangjiajie.

How can southerners not have a concave shape when they see snow for the first time?! Let's roll on the snow first!

Until later, he still rubbed the snow with his hands and refused to leave!

8、 Overnight at Dingxiangrong

I strongly recommend staying overnight on the lilac fig tree. Firstly, the price is cheap, with only 150+yuan per room; Secondly, it saves the time of rushing back and forth; Finally, you can also watch the sunrise!

Here are a few tips: 1. You can contact the inn owner in advance, who is usually willing to pick them up at Sanchakou Station. (However, I walked up on my own because there was a snowy scenery on the way!); 2. Generally, guesthouses offer dinner and breakfast packages at a price of 30-40 yuan per person, and the dishes are quite good. At least I won't cheat or cheat.

Day 2 | The most beautiful scenery is today

1、 Sunrise at Daguantai

The best place to watch the sunrise in Zhangjiajie is undoubtedly at the Grand View Tower. Because it's winter, the sunrise is at 7:20. So we left the inn at 7 o'clock and walked there in time. The exact location for watching the sunrise is here, don't go wrong! Below is the parking lot for eco-friendly cars, easy to recognize.

Without further ado, the picture above! Sunrise is the second surprise of Zhangjiajie. (Dear, do you remember when we went to Sandao Cape together to watch the sunrise? What remains unchanged is the sunrise and the sea of clouds, and what disappears is our love. This cup is a toast to the sunrise and the sea of clouds.)

2、 Old house yard

After watching the sunrise, walk back to Dingxiangrong Inn for breakfast, and then find the inn owner to charter a car to the old house yard. Two people rented a car for 100 yuan round trip, and the boss was quite generous. There are two attractions in Laowuchang, an aerial countryside and a gathering of divine soldiers, both of which are worth visiting.

After chartering a car to Laowuchang, you need to walk down to the aerial countryside and the gathering of divine soldiers by yourself. On the way to the aerial countryside, there will be an observation deck. There is an uncle who claims to have built his own observation deck and charges 2 yuan per person. At that time, considering the beautiful scenery in this location, I decided to pay directly. Later, I confirmed with the innkeeper that this observation deck was indeed self built.

In summary, the view from this observation deck is still worth 2 yuan.

Continuing down for a while, we arrived at the gathering of divine soldiers. As the name suggests, it is a large and straight boulder standing tall.

3、 Tianzi Mountain

After visiting the old house, take the scenic area environmental protection car to Tianzishan Scenic Area at Daguantai. Tianzishan is today's third surprise! Firstly, the observation deck of Tianzishan has a particularly wide view and is prone to producing soap flakes! Secondly, there is rime next to the Tianzishan cableway station. If there is enough time, pay attention to stopping and watching! Finally, there is a McDonald's next to the Tianzishan parking lot!

4、 Tianzishan Cableway and Return to the City

After strolling through the rime, it's the Tianzishan Cableway. Take the cableway to the next station, then take the bus back to Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot Town, take a taxi at Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot Bus Station and return to Zhangjiajie downtown.

Epilogue | Our Love

On this journey, I passed by Guangzhou Railway Station. The first time we came here was to take you to the postgraduate entrance examination interview, and at that time, we were full of confidence in the future. The second time we came here was to take you to school in Beijing, and at that time, we were also filled with information about the future. I came here alone for the third time, but you will leave me forever.

On this journey, I saw a sea of clouds and a sunrise. The first time we went to watch the sunrise was at Sandao Point in Taiwan. That day was the happiest moment of my life. We went to Treasure Hill to see an art exhibition, we went to Xiangshan to see the Taipei 101 fireworks, and we took the night train to San Diao Jiao to watch the sunrise.

On this journey, I once again took a sleeper berth. Our first time sleeping together was to accompany you to Beijing for an interview and also our first long-distance trip. On this trip, we visited the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and Peking University, which we have been dreaming of for a long time.

This journey is the first stop of 2018, and it is still full of your shadow. I hope that on the second stop of 2018, your shadow will begin to fade away.
