Hunan Zhangjiajie+Fenghuang Ancient City Double Railway Tour (Four Major and One Small Travel)

Before reading this travelogue, there are a few words that need to be repeated. Remember not to trust local individual travelers to join groups, not to find small travel agencies, and not to read WeChat guides recommended by black travel agency writers online. I went on this trip just to make things more convenient. I never expected to fall into a pit with one foot, but later lost some money and came out. If you really want to find it, you should make a reservation online before traveling. In fact, as long as you have done a guide in Zhangjiajie, you can come and go freely without the need for a guide. Alternatively, you can refer to my travelogue for travel.

On October 9th, departing from Shenzhen North Station to Guangzhou Station (1 hour and 28 minutes), transferring to Guangzhou Station at 20:04- Zhangjiajie Station at 9:40 (13 hours and 36 minutes), it's still good to sleep for a night.

Arrived at Zhangjiajie Railway Station at 9:40 am on October 10th. Here, I would like to remind everyone not to trust the local guide and individual passengers joining the group. In Zhangjiajie, you can use Gaode to hail a taxi, or take a taxi (but be sure to negotiate the price). My personal suggestion is to hail a taxi from Gaode. The bus goes to Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot Bus Station, the central bus station of Zhangjiajie (about 1 hour), for 56 people. If there are four or five people, you can directly beep. If two or three people can choose to stay in the hotel in front of the bus, our home stay is a five minute walk near Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. I arrived at Zhangjiajie Yunwuli Mountain View Homestay at around 2pm in the afternoon. The owner is very nice and I highly recommend this homestay. The rooms are also good. I gave him a 5-star rating on Ctrip, and the owner drew a free route map of Zhangjiajie for us. We didn't have to go back and saved time. The owner will plan exactly how to play Zhangjiajie for you.

On the morning of October 11th, the weather was a bit cold and I needed to add a coat. I went to a nearby breakfast shop to have breakfast. If I wanted to eat something good and affordable, I suggested going to the row of restaurants in front of the homestay (where the waterfront family cooked three dishes). Of course, there were also some 10 yuan buffet breakfasts on the way, but they were really not delicious. I picked some in my mouth. After finishing my meal at 10:30, I started walking and left for Zhangjiajie Park, which took about 8 minutes. I had already asked the homestay owner to buy the ticket for me, so I went directly to the window to exchange it and enter. If it rains, I can buy a raincoat at the entrance for 10 yuan. Don't buy it on the mountain, it will be much more expensive. We played directly from the top of the mountain, which was also the route recommended by the owner of the home stay. We queued up at the bottom of the mountain to take the environmental protection car to Tianzi Mountain. Remember to buy a cableway ticket of 75 yuan. Take the cableway to the top of Tianzi Mountain, and then walk down the road. I was reminded that there is a tower near Helong Park, which is about the Tu family. The so-called hundred rice is actually Babao Congee, 50 yuan a bag. I was also trapped here, so I can only cry in my heart. Remember here, you can take a free eco-friendly car to every major attraction. Look at the map provided by the homestay owner, get off the Bailong elevator, and then stay at the Ten Mile Gallery in front of the eco-friendly car. If you stay too late, you can go straight down the mountain and visit the next day. The entrance ticket is valid for four days.

On the morning of October 12, after a leisurely breakfast, walk 10 minutes to Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot Bus Station and take a bus to another entrance of Zhangjiajie Forest Park, Yangjiajie Station. Remind me again to look at the map given by the owner of the home stay. After getting off at the station, I have to walk a short distance of about 10 minutes or so to reach another entrance of the Forest Park. When I get here, don't believe anyone who tells you to walk with you to pay a guide fee. Otherwise, if you can't get down the mountain, you will get lost and your legs will tremble. I don't like sports and I also take two old people, one big baby and one little baby, but I haven't arrived Trembling and other problems. You can get up on your own, directly swipe the ticket and take the environmental protection car to the mountain. The arrangement of routes and other things is still subject to the owner of the home stay. There is no mistake. When you get to the mountain, KFC can eat and drink, but the price is not expensive, Just like outside, I want to give it a thumbs up here. The first bridge in the world is also here. In short, the arrangement of routes and other things still depends on the homestay owner. You won't get lost or turn back. On the way up the mountain, you will encounter monkeys. Here, we need to remind everyone to be extremely careful! After going down the mountain, you don't have to walk so far by bus. There is a bus to Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot Bus Station when you get out of the door. Those who get on the bus and buy tickets will go to the nearby place to have a meal after getting off the bus. In the evening, they will go to see Charming Xiangxi. They will buy good tickets at the home stay. There are preferential prices. If there are elderly people, it is worth letting them go.

Check out at 8:00 a.m. on October 13, and take a bus to Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot Bus Station to Fenghuang North Station. There are only two buses a day at 8:30 a.m. and 14:30 p.m. There will be some snacks on the bus route. After checking the price on the Internet, it is a little expensive. There are also some on a treasure. When we get off at the station, we don't take a taxi. We give the price directly. It is 15-20 yuan to get to the ancient city of Fenghuang, and there is no tick. When we meet two foreign friends, they walk directly to the middle reaches of Fengqiao in the ancient city of Fengfeng. The Riverside Inn of Fuyuan Mountain Manor. I found the online celebrity praise store Laozhai Beef Flour Head Office in the evening. Here I want to remind you that the one beside Hongqiao is not authentic. There will be some pictures in the back. I will identify myself. There is also breakfast. The landlady is very hardworking, The ingredients are all homemade, clean and hygienic, and the beef is also delicious. I had three meals here, and my family also likes to come here to eat. Hehehe...

On October 14th, I visited the ancient city of Phoenix and went across from the inn to rent clothes. We could negotiate prices and time, and take pictures of ethnic costumes to showcase the scenery. Walking around the ancient city was still very comfortable, but there were always some people asking if they wanted to watch a performance or rent clothes, which was more annoying. It was better to rent clothes from a regular store, as the rental period was longer and the clothing styles were more diverse. I spent the whole day here filming, filming, filming. At night, I can stroll around the night view, but there are many people. I prefer sitting on the balcony of the inn and enjoying the scenery by the river, making some snacks, drinking a little wine, chatting, and listening to music. It's extremely comfortable, hahaha.

We are preparing to return to Shenzhen on October 15th. The boss has booked a car for us at 60 yuan per person, and a private car will pick us up, which is more convenient than taking the bus to the bus station by ourselves. Buy some local specialties at the high-speed railway station and buy some seasonal fruits to eat on the train. It's really delicious and sweet.

Summary: The feeling I had when I visited Zhangjiajie this time was that the commercialization of tourism was too heavy, and there were pitfalls everywhere. I must keep a clear mind and follow my own strategy carefully. Don't believe those who are pulling customers on the road. My experience in Zhangjiajie is that the mountains are good, the water is good, and the people are good. Hehehe..... The total cost of transportation, food, drink, play, and other expenses for six days and six nights is 9336 yuan. It's still quite cost-effective.
