Main transportation

September 30th, Z149 Beijing Huaihua, 8:30~5:40. Delaying a day, but being able to see the scenery on the road from the train, and staying on the train without delaying the next day's itinerary, is a very good choice without choosing to take a plane.

Destination rental car: Renting and returning a car in Guiyang costs an average of less than 300 yuan per day, which is very suitable.

October 1st, Phoenix Ancient City

Transportation:

Get out of Huaihua Station, turn right for one kilometer to reach Bus West Station. There are many private cars with a capacity of 60 passengers at the train station exit and bus station entrance. They say they can leave immediately, but in fact, they still need to gather enough people. When they gather enough people, the bus station will also depart. Therefore, if you are not in a hurry, it is more reliable to choose a regular car.

Huaihua West Bus Station 7:00- Fenghuang Ancient City 8:10 (Ticket price: ¥ 40, Ctrip charges an additional 4 yuan handling fee, and the earliest displayed time is 7:40. Other platforms also have handling fees, and the time is the same as Ctrip. In fact, the station tickets are abundant, and the earliest is 7:00. Regardless of the boarding time, it seems that you can take the bus on the same day at the small station, so if you arrive early, you can take the bus earlier. Is it necessary to buy tickets in advance and weigh it yourself?)

It takes less than two hours to get to Phoenix Ancient City Bus Station, where there is manual storage of luggage and small items for 2 yuan

Arrangement:

Walking to the ancient city is only over a kilometer away, and it is completely walkable. The ancient city mainly surrounds the banks of the Tuo River, so walking can also enjoy the scenery on both sides. Of course, the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is not particularly impressive, mainly consisting of river view houses, shops, and restaurants, with a strong emphasis on commercialization. Interestingly, there is a river view room where each room faces the river and has a cradle, resulting in severe homogenization.

The main attractions of Fenghuang Ancient City include the former residences of Xiong Xiling/Shen Congwen, Tuojiang Jumping Rock, Huilongge Hanging Foot Tower, Duocui Tower, Hongqiao Wind and Rain Tower, and Wanming Tower. The ancient city is really not big, and some scenic spots are not open, so it's easy to walk around and quickly finish. If you have friends with you, you can stay and have drinks, chat, and enjoy the breeze at night. But for myself, staying here may not be very interesting, mainly because I'm not someone who can sit alone and daydream. So there was a plan for the future

13:00 Phoenix Bus Terminal -15:00 Tongren Tourist Station (Ctrip ¥ 27, with an additional two yuan handling fee compared to the station)

● 16:00 Tongren Tourist Station -17:30 Jiangkou Passenger Station, ticket price: Tongren Passenger official account ￥ 25

Stay near the bus station at Sujiangkou for easy access to Mount Fanjing the next morning. A busy and fulfilling day.

October 2nd, Fanjing Mountain - Zhenyuan

Transportation:

Jiangkou Bus Station 6:40- Fanjingshan 7:50, urban and rural buses depart every 20 minutes, and the departure time is selected based on the reserved entry time at Fanjingshan.

From the bus station to Fanjing Mountain, passing through a village where many villas are being built for rural tourism, you can live closer here. However, it is only ten minutes away from the county town by bus, and you can choose to drive here. I thought passing through the village would lead to Fanjing Mountain, but in reality, I only passed through this village. The exit is a highway exit, and there are a bunch of farmhouse restaurants, hotels, and accommodations along the way. Therefore, there are quite a few accommodation options to choose from when coming to Fanjing Mountain. After driving for a while, there were a bunch of accommodations and meals within a kilometer of the scenic area. There were many private cars, and I thought I had woken up early. There must not be many people in the scenic area, but it turned out that everyone lived very close

I checked my luggage at the tourist center for ¥ 15. When inquiring about the bus to Zhenyuan, I found that they were all at the ticket office of the tourist center. However, the bus to Zhenyuan was a designated sales point set up by the bus station at the tourist center, and it didn't start work until 8:30. Therefore, I had to give up and confirmed that the last bus to Zhenyuan would be at 3:30, and I should be able to get off the mountain at 2:30.

After descending the mountain, I returned to the Fanjing Mountain Tourist Center and took the bus to Zhenyuan Bus Station at 3:00 pm. It was expected to take 3 hours and cost ¥ 130, but tickets were already out of stock. The ticket seller recommended another way, which was a bit troublesome, but faster and cheaper. Before issuing my ticket, they even called the car company to consult and confirmed that this route was feasible before issuing it to me. 14: I took a bus from the tourist center and passed by Yuping Railway Station at around 16:00. There is a Z495 train that runs from Yuping Railway Station at 16:30 to Zhenyuan Railway Station at 18:16, which is exactly right. The ticket price is ¥ 60+12.5, and the bus may be slower due to traffic congestion. Moreover, the bus station is farther away from the ancient city than the train station, so I feel like I have made a profit, haha.

Arrangement:

● The official account of Fanjing Mountain has bought tickets+sightseeing bus+two-way cableway tickets at 210 yuan. Because the travel was stimulated during the epidemic, the tickets were half price. I made an appointment to enter the park at 8:30.

After calculating the time, I started queuing up to enter the scenic area, passed through two security checks, and took the scenic area minibus to the cableway station. Due to the foggy weather, the cableway shuttled through the misty clouds, and I had no idea how far it was from the ground. Looking around, there were dense forests, and our country has beautiful rivers and mountains. It is truly a vast geographical area.

To get off the cableway, you have to climb a section of stairs by yourself because there is fog on the mountain, and the ground is already wet and slippery. In some places, the steps are very narrow, and the surface and width of the steps are also narrow, which is not enough to separate the upper and lower sides. Therefore, everyone walks carefully. The fog is a bit thick, and it's almost impossible to see anything ten meters away. It's imaginable that you can't see anything from where you are standing or what's below, and naturally you can't feel the uniqueness of the mountains. I barely took a few photos, everyone can feel them for themselves. So before going, it is important to check the weather. Of course, local residents also say that checking may not be accurate, because the weather at the foot of the mountain and on the mountain may be completely different and do not affect each other. So it also depends on luck. If you have time, you can stay at the foot of the mountain for a few more days or avoid the rainy season. The mountaintop is really cold and the wind is strong, I can't hold on at all.

I arrived at Zhenyuan Railway Station around 6pm in the afternoon, and there was a section of the train that ran parallel to the ancient town from far to near. I was so excited to see it. Get off the train and walk back along the commercial street for less than one kilometer. After crossing the new bridge, you can see the memorial archway of "Shiping Ancient Town" on the other side of the river. The road ahead is really paved with stones, and motor vehicles are not allowed to pass from 19:00 to 7:00 in the morning. Therefore, friends driving from Guiyang can only find a nearby parking lot and bring their luggage into the ancient city.

Previously, it was possible to enjoy the panoramic night view of the ancient city of Shiping Mountain without buying a ticket after 18:00. However, because of this, few people buy tickets to go up during the day, so the scenic area is not allowed to go up at night, and there is no opportunity to take photos of the night view.

Waiting for the friends from Guiyang to meet up, you can take a night boat tour of the ancient town of Wuyang River in the evening. The boat ticket is bought from the hotel owner, which is 20 yuan cheaper, 60 yuan/ticket, and 80 yuan at the boat window. The cruise ship travels back and forth along the Wuyang River, where you can take photos at the bow or stern and enjoy the ancient buildings of Qinglong Cave under the light show on board.

● After the cruise, go down the ancient town stone road to the foot of memorial archway, cross the new bridge, and go to the business street on the opposite bank. Choose a large grilled fish and eat it thoroughly. After finishing eating, walk along the direction of the new bridge on the back of the commercial street, and return to the hotel on the stone slab road from the bridge over the ancient buildings in Qinglongdong.

October 3rd, Ancient Town - Xizhai

Transportation:

After finishing lunch, I drove to Miaozhai and everything went smoothly, but when I got off the highway at Miaozhai, there was a problem. There were no explanations or signs at the highway entrance, only the exit was blocked. We had to continue driving forward for twenty kilometers before reaching the next exit. A pile of private cars parked on the roadside finally met the staff of the Miao village. After getting off the car and asking, we found out that the intersection that had just been blocked had already been blocked by the private cars that had already exited the highway in front of us, and it was not fully digested. Soon, it was already on the highway, so we had to divert here and drive back to the entrance of the Miao village, only to exit at the opposite intersection.

After finally driving back and getting off the highway, there were still many cars that had to go through security checks and get off to take temperature measurements. After finally passing through this section, the road to Miaozhai started and stopped all the way, and when it reached a small uphill section, it was diverted to the parking lot below by the staff. It was said that the upper parking lot was also queuing up.

So we can only find parking spaces in this parking lot. There is no regular parking space available. After finally finding a place that is not too congested, I got off the car and packed up the things I needed for a night's accommodation before carrying them to the scenic area. So the journey to Miaozhai should take 2 hours, and it took about 4 hours to complete. We arrived at the entrance of the scenic area at 6 pm in the evening.

  Arrangement:

As mentioned earlier, motor vehicles are not allowed to travel on the Shiban Road in Zhenyuan between 7:00 and 19:00 in the morning. However, it is allowed outside of this time. Therefore, early in the morning, the sound of local commuters rushing to work can be heard on the Shiban Road downstairs from the hotel. Therefore, when choosing accommodation, it is best to stay on the other side of the river. If you want to live on Shiban Road, you should also stay on the riverbank.

● When the air is fresh in the morning, there are not many people and cars. Find a small shop to eat a bowl of tofu pudding or noodles. You can find a place near the window to watch the green river and the smoke curling across the river.

The Qinglong Cave Ancient Architecture Group has made an appointment but did not purchase a ticket, but in reality, when we walked in, we couldn't see the whole picture as far away as the other side of the river, so we didn't buy a ticket and walked in.

After the opening of Shiping Mountain at 8:00, buy a ticket and climb up the stone steps to overlook the panoramic view of the ancient city's Bagua Formation. Practice has proven that the Bagua pictures online are probably the same as aerial photography, and it is still impossible to capture them from the highest point of the mountain.

● At the foot of Shiping Mountain, there is a commercial street. On the side near Shiping Mountain, it is actually a house built along the mountain. So find a alley and walk up it, and you will also find many small shops, such as wine making and Stuffed tofu making. It is really good to drink wine without fear of the deep alley.

At noon, I found a restaurant with many reviews on the other side of the river on the other half of the new bridge called Miaoxiang Yuantu Restaurant. This half of the road is not as lively as the other half of the stone road, but there are still shops along one side of the bank. It is also suitable for drinking and bragging in front of the Wuyang River at night.

Overall, Zhenyuan is a pretty small town, although it is heavily commercialized, it is relatively compact.

After arriving at the Miao village at around 6pm, there was a long queue at the entrance of the village waiting for ticket verification. Upon entering the scenic area, there was a long queue waiting for a bus to get off to the observation deck, where there was a long queue waiting for an electric scooter to arrive at the Miao village. Because we were just standing there, getting off at the Forestry Station, not far away. Actually, after taking photos at the observation deck, we walked down and luckily didn't have much luggage. Hurry up to the station and contact the hotel to pick me up. Fortunately, I couldn't find it at all. The hotel is located on the uphill slope of the asphalt road that leads down to Miaozhai, which is like climbing a mountain, and it's a stilted house. Visiting Miao Village during the National Day holiday was a terrible experience, with exorbitant hotel prices and overcrowding in the scenic area

After settling my luggage and going down the mountain, I entered the core scenic area, which is part of the densely packed stilted buildings. Passing through the small path, I found a restaurant with fixed tables for banquets. My friends went to experience it, while I wandered around the village. I was not interested in flowing water banquets, especially in this highly commercialized place. When my friends finish the 40 minute long table banquet, they also complain that it's not delicious

The performance at the Lusheng Field in Zhaizi has been cancelled due to the pandemic, so some elderly women and sheng players are practicing on their own. Gage Ancient Lane is a small alley with some specialty shops. The beautiful Xijiang performance requires a single ticket purchase (it is said to have been free in the past), and a group of people are queuing up, so we didn't go to watch it.

There is also a commercial street in Zhaizi, which is the main road, a snack street, and even a vegetable market. There are fruit sellers inside, with prices similar to outside. In fact, there are also vegetable and meat sellers, which are mainly for local residents and tourists who come here to stay and rent homestays.

We strolled until around 9pm and walked back to the observation deck. Originally, we could have used a shuttle bus (four electric shuttle buses were included in the ticket, and we could also buy an additional one for 5 yuan each), but there were too many queues. So we insisted on walking up and taking pictures of the illuminated night view before returning to the hotel to sleep. The hotel is really a primitive stilted house, without even windows, haha.

October 4th, Miaozhai Rongjiang

Early in the morning, while my friends were still asleep and the entire village was still asleep amidst the swirling smoke and misty water vapor, I got up to search for the appearance of the Miao village outside of the tourists.

Go up any alley along the commercial street, climb up the stone steps, and see the distillery, wax dyeing workshop, Guzangtou, and the painting studio of the farmer painter Li Yufu. However, not all of them can be encountered because the houses built along the hillside have many forks and layers. So following fate is the best way, maybe you can also meet an old lady who is preparing to go down the mountain to work and chat about daily life for a while.

Around nine o'clock, the village slowly woke up and more tourists began to arrive. The tourists who had stayed overnight were ready to leave, while the new ones were ready to settle in. Suddenly, it became lively. We didn't specifically go to watch the Twelve Gate Wine and Xijiang Grand Ceremony from 19:30 to 20:00 and 20:00 to 21:08 mentioned online. The grand ceremony requires a car to go out, and the gate wine also needs to be taken to the gate, which is too troublesome. Mainly, taking the shuttle bus requires queuing up because there are too many people.

In the morning, I strolled around and saw ecological ethnic song and dance performances in Jincang Datang Scenic Area and Langde Scenic Area, both located near the Xijiang River. They were probably similar to Miao villages, so I didn't go there specifically. At noon, I found a restaurant on the pedestrian street with good reviews called Miao Xiang Restaurant, which was indeed very cost-effective. Five people spent more than 200 yuan, and the key was that it was delicious. After finishing the afternoon and strolling around again, we decided not to continue staying in the Miao village because the experience was indeed not good.

Departing at around 2pm in the afternoon, I stayed in Rongjiang County instead of Congjiang County. It was a bit far to Congjiang, and even further to Libo, so I rested nearby in Rongjiang. There is a group of ancient buildings near the river near the highway, with many restaurants for dining. Across from it is an ancient village, but I didn't have time to visit because it was already dark. I ate and drank all night at a restaurant on this side of the river called Jincheng Dayuan Hot Pot Restaurant, which relieved the hardships I had in Miao Village yesterday. Haha.

The county town is not big, so I abandoned my car and took a taxi to find a nearby hotel to stay.

On October 5th, the terraced fields in Libo were added to the list

Because I drank too much last night, I woke up almost noon. After lunch, I set off from Rongjiang County to Jiabang Terraced Fields, which is actually less than 90 kilometers away. However, to reach the several townships where the terraced fields are located, it is already a winding mountain road that is particularly difficult to drive, so it took me a long time to drive.

I went to the leaderboard, although it was not yet the stage of watering, the harvested millet and wheat were all sun dried on a high shelf, which was quite shocking. Jiabang is not the largest terraced field group in China, but it is still a research base. Because it was drizzling and everyone had drinks yesterday, they were a bit tired and sleepy. Only I was interested in taking photos, while the other kids were dozing off in the car, haha.

So taking a photo for half an hour and driving for four hours is worth it or not, it's up to everyone to decide. I originally planned to stay in Jiabang last night and watch the sunset and sunrise shining on the irrigated terraced fields. Since I didn't come last night, there's no need to stay for a few days, because the most important arrangement for this trip is later, and we can't afford to lose big for small things. So there are many scenic spots on the road, and it is necessary to make appropriate choices when necessary.

It took almost three hours to drive back and arrived in Libo County. It was already evening and I chose a restaurant called 'Zou Pang Ge Good Eating Restaurant'. It was located in the food street, with a small storefront in front but a large area across the back street. Although it's raining and a bit cold, there are still many customers. It does indeed taste good.

After finishing, returning to the hotel is also very close, and the county town is not very big. I have booked Heyi, the hotel facilities are good, you can have a good night's rest, and next year will be another difficult day.

October 6th Xiaoqikong - Anshun

It only takes less than half an hour to drive to Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. Starting from West Gate Wolongtan (high in the west and low in the east, easy to descend from the mountain), there are free shuttle buses between each scenic area. Therefore, mature scenic areas have well-established basic services.

There are two options from Wolongtan to Yuanyang Lake: shuttle bus or drifting (drifting for 50 people)

We didn't drift, we just took a ferry to Yuanyang Lake and chose to row a boat there for 30 people. We could take the boat to a place with fewer people in the lake (where there are more trees and it's not suitable for rowing) and park there to take photos. It was still very beautiful.

At the foot of Yuanyang Lake, we chose a shuttle bus and skipped the water forest hiking area, heading straight to the stone forest where we could hike and see the 68 level waterfall, flying waterfall, Laya waterfall, and more, all connected together. Walking all the way to Xiaoqikong, there are really quite a few people there, and it's not easy to take pictures without anyone around. So we can only rely on P

We took a free sightseeing bus from Xiaoqikong to Dongmen Daqikong. The water in Daqikong is very turbid, mainly due to the towering mountains on both sides, which look quite majestic. We can choose to take a boat ride back and forth, or walk along the boardwalk. We chose to walk a short distance, but not all of it, and the scenery was average. Therefore, if we don't have enough time, we can give up Daqikong.

It's already past three o'clock in the afternoon when I left the scenic area, and I haven't returned to Libo for dinner. I don't want to waste time, so I chose a restaurant on the roadside when I came out of the scenic area. The cost-effectiveness is definitely not good.

It's over 300 kilometers to Anshun and takes more than four hours, so after finishing our meal, we hurried on and didn't arrive until after 8 pm. So it's also very hard

October 7th Huangguoshu - Guiyang

Huangguoshu is also a very mature scenic spot. It opens at 7:30 and we will arrive around 8 o'clock. As it is already the end of the holiday, it is obvious that there are fewer people in the scenic spot. The parking lot is parked, and we queue up for security checks and enter the gate to check tickets. After checking the tickets, we will enter the bus parking spot. The three main scenic spots are far apart, and the driver will assume to take the tourists to the farthest scenic spot first.

The farthest scenic spot is Tianxing Bridge. According to the online guide, the entrance of Tianxing Bridge scenic area is uphill to the second floor (if you don't know how to get there, you can ask the ticket checking staff at the entrance of the scenic area). Entering from the entrance of Gaolaozhuang is equivalent to only walking the lower half of the Silver Chain Falling into the Tan, which can save a lot of distance. The upper half is park like and can be visited or not. We only walked around Huangguoshu for half a day because there were really no entertainment activities, so if you don't feel tired, the whole journey time is also enough. It takes a while to walk in the latter half of the journey to see the extremely spectacular waterfall, not the spectacular drop, but the majestic and majestic spectacle.

Take a car from the Tianxing Bridge scenic spot to Huangguoshu Waterfall, which is also the most crowded spot. There is a place to take an elevator when you get off the car and enter the scenic area. For a one-way trip of 25, you need to buy a ticket and you can directly ride to the bottom of the waterfall. We choose to walk down, which is only a few hundred meters. In fact, you can also view the waterfall from different dimensions on the way. Due to the epidemic, the water curtain cave has not been opened, which is inside the waterfall, so it is quite regrettable.

The steep slope pond and the large waterfall are not too far apart, and there are recommendations online to walk there to see the scenery on the road. However, due to the epidemic at that time, the road was closed, so we still took a car to get there. The steep slope pond is a relatively gentle waterfall, and it is also the filming location where the four disciples of Journey to the West walked through the waterfall. Originally, they thought they were taking a pilgrimage at the waterfall, but the staff said it was too steep and not suitable. This is the real filming location.

I had lunch at a restaurant outside the scenic area with good reviews, which was both affordable and high-quality. In the afternoon, I drove back to Guiyang and arrived around 5 o'clock. I was strolling around Guiyang and happened to take the evening train to Jishou.

October 8th Aizhai Bridge Zhangjiajie

Arrive at Jishou early at around 6 o'clock. Take a small bus from Dehang Railway Station on the left side of the square, which costs 5 yuan per person. Tell the driver to look at the Aizhai Bridge and he will tell you where to get off.

Along the way, new passengers arrived one after another, and the more they got to the back, the more distinctive the passengers became. Later, there were also grandparents carrying bamboo baskets and wearing ethnic minority costumes, who were very simple. Later, it was discovered that they were going to a nearby town market.

The driver asked me to come down from the village town directly below the Aizhai Bridge, have breakfast at a noodle shop, inquire about the route, and head towards the Aizhai Bridge. The bridge has a formal observation deck and requires tickets, but you have to walk up the winding mountain road from here. There are many cars on the road that can take you up. Coincidentally, I took a car from a scenic spot staff to work, and he took me to an observation point halfway through. He told me that there was no need to go up because it was foggy and I couldn't see the whole picture. Just take a look here. Actually, I have already looked up from directly below, crossing the suspended red suspension bridge between two mountains, and have seen its magnificence. I felt the same way when I went up again, so I followed the advice of the staff. Afterwards, we came down from the scenic spot together, and he continued to go up to work. I started walking down and took a bus back to the town, waiting for the bus back to the city.

Returning to Jishou, there were originally two plans: to take a bus to Wangcun (Furong Ancient Town). When I got off the train in the morning, I had already bought a ticket, but I felt like I had to stay overnight. Besides the waterfall, there was nothing worth visiting in the ancient town. So I refunded the bus ticket to Wangcun and bought a train ticket to Zhangjiajie. I was still thinking about whether to take the bus back to Beijing or stay and explore Zhangjiajie. Due to the foggy weather, I may not be able to see Tianmen and feel a bit hesitant.

The big brother who bought a ticket on the train suggested that I leave it behind, saying that I don't know when I will have another chance next time, so I will take it easy if I come now It's also a principle. There were also salespeople selling a few day tour of Zhangjiajie on the train, wearing the clothes of train attendants. Later, it was realized that this was not a railway travel agency, but just one of the many travel agencies in Zhangjiajie, and had nothing to do with the train station. I believe that the big brother who provides additional tickets is not asking for anything, but offering sincere advice to young people from the perspective of experienced people.

After getting off the train, I didn't go directly to his travel agency with the salesperson on board, but first went to the tourism service center, thinking it was official, but in fact it was also private. Because there was no prior plan for Zhangjiajie, it was purely a last-minute idea, and I didn't have a clear plan for the strategy. I only knew that Zhangjiajie National Forest Park was very large and needed to be played for several days, so the only time I signed up for the tour was a painful lesson. I would also like to remind everyone not to participate in the local group tour in Zhangjiajie. The railway station and Tianmen Mountain scenic area are very close, and there are small travel agencies scattered throughout the streets and alleys. In fact, they are all second-hand intermediaries who eventually sell to some black guides, resulting in a very poor experience.

Because it was already close to 4 pm when we arrived in Zhangjiajie, it was a bit tight to go to Tianmen Mountain, and we were afraid that we wouldn't see anything in the heavy fog, so we didn't go up. We thought we could spare half a day on the day we left, but we didn't expect that our plan couldn't keep up with the changes, leaving us with a regret. The scenic spots of Tianmen Mountain include glass walkway, Ghost Valley Plank Road, Tianmen Cave, Tianmen Temple (one of the five temples dedicated to Buddhist relics in the world, closed during the epidemic), Yunmeng Immortal Summit (the commanding point can overlook the whole Zhangjiajie), Ghost Valley Cave, and Yuhu Peak. The 999 steps down from Tianmen Cave can be walked or taken by elevator (ticket price 32), plus his original escalator requires 12 steps. These exquisite feelings are still worth seeing.

October 9th Zhangjiajie - Beijing

Early in the morning, it was said that the tour guide would contact the hotel to pick them up. It was agreed that at 8:30, they would receive the designated bus location and wait for others. What's more, a tourist said that he was a friend who also wanted to participate and asked if he could get in. However, the tour guide didn't care about it and contacted the registered travel agency and the people who were coming, all kinds of waiting. Finally, they left almost 10 o'clock. I have been promoting various cable cars and elevators in the forest park all along the way, saying that they can save time and energy to see more.

The bus will first take everyone to a restaurant. It's only half past ten, and then we'll have lunch Then I started to collect my ID card and pay for the cable car, elevator, or evening performance. I tossed it around until 11:30 and didn't feel like it was over yet. I had already finished my meal for half a day and was still explaining to a few people who didn't know if they wanted to sign up I and a few others requested a refund and the return of our ID cards. At this point, they told me that our ID cards had already been sent to the scenic area for ticket purchases Oh my god, I just started buying tickets. It's been half a day and I haven't seen any scenery yet. At my insistence, the tour guide took a taxi to the entrance of the scenic area (I forgot which entrance) to get my ID card, refunded the money, and I saved my luggage to buy a ticket. It was only then that I encountered the large group of tour groups arriving slowly, and it was already 1:30 pm. Tour guides save time by letting people do cable cars and other activities, replacing their half day wandering time.

The nearest attraction to the gate I entered is the Ten Mile Gallery, which can be used as a small train. I chose to walk, which only takes about 20 minutes. It was the first time I saw this pillar like stone forest, and it was particularly stunning. Some pillars resemble something divine, purely relying on personal imagination. Some people can see it, while others cannot.

At the end of the Ten Mile Gallery is the trail to Tianzishan. To take the cableway, you need to return to the gallery entrance and take a car to Tianzishan cableway point. I don't like to turn back, so I walked up the trail without hesitation. Haha, it was really tiring because it was steep, but the scenery on the way was also beautiful, resembling peaks such as Jiangtai, Helong Park (Xihai Peak Forest), Fairy Offering Flowers, Imperial Brush Peak, Tianzi Pavilion, and Warrior Training Horses.

● Yangjiajie: When coming down from Tianzi Mountain, take a car to Yangjiajie, or choose to walk and visit the scenery along the way, including the Natural Great Wall, Wulong Village, Tianbo Mansion, Cable Bridge, One Step Climbing to the Sky, Aerial Corridor, etc. When going down the mountain, I slipped and accidentally got stuck on a broken tree fork due to walking on a small path At that time, it was just a bit of a fork in the road. After returning to Beijing, there were two or three broken ribs, which were slightly inserted into the lung. Fortunately, it was a stroke of luck.

In this way, I still took a car from Yangjiajie to Yuanjiajie and went to see the most important Qiankun Pillar, which is the filming location for Avatar. Along the way, there were independent stone pillars that were even more spectacular than the Ten Mile Gallery. It was really a special scenery. Finally, I took the Hundred Dragon Ladder down the mountain. The gathering of 48 stone peaks on the opposite side of the elevator was actually only visible in the upper half of the elevator, and in the lower half of the elevator, it was under the stones.

The elevator leads to the parking spot, but since it is already the last time to leave the scenic area, there are many people queuing up, but there are few cars available. It is possible that there are already few dispatch cars, or most of them have already finished work. Therefore, the overall experience of such a famous scenic area is very poor.

Due to a fall injury, there is still a glass bridge in Zhangjiajie that I haven't been to. I originally planned to go bungee jumping. Overall, I have a very bad impression of Zhangjiajie and I don't think I will come back.
