Time will slowly change us,

Transform into a different form,

And we,

It has also gradually changed in the river of time.

Appearance, temperament, personality

The way of dealing with people and their interactions.

Grind off the edges and corners,

However,

Time will never erase our original and most beautiful dreams.

I enjoy the feeling of walking on the road,

I like to capture the scenery I see on camera,

This is the way I travel.

Are you also like this?

But I just want to tell you,

If you want to go,

Let's go,

Never envy others on their journey,

You can also,

As long as you are brave.

The meaning of travel is not to tell others that 'I have been here', but to bring about change. Traveling can change one's temperament and make one's vision more long-term. During the journey, you will see that different people have different habits, which helps you understand that not everyone lives their lives in your own way. In this way, people's hearts will become broader, and we will face our lives with a better attitude!

Regarding the itinerary

Day1: Tangshan Beijing Zhangjiajie Hehua Airport

This is my best friend's first time taking a plane. Before departure, the TV was broadcasting news of a plane accident. One day, she said to me, "Our plane won't also have an accident, right? I've seen many of them taking a plane for the first time." I immediately comforted her, saying, "Cars have accidents every day, it's just that they don't report them. The accident rate of planes is still the lowest, so we take planes for the safest time." The key is that I'm afraid she will give up and not go! After more than 2 hours of flight, we arrived at Zhangjiajie Hehua Airport. Chengchen Tourism Butler picked us up for free and delivered us to the hotel, which was worry free! This time, we are going to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and Tianmen Mountain glass walkway. Why should we take glass walkway, the longest cableway in the world!

get accommodation

On the first night, we chose to stay in Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot for listening. Ya'anju characteristic inn, the tourist housekeeper received us free of charge. The conditions of the inn are very good in all aspects. The first position is at the gate of Xibu Street, which is less than 3 kilometers away from Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot scenic spot. You can go to the scenic spot if you want to walk. The second transportation is the bus station at the gate. There is a bus directly to the scenic spot. It is very convenient to travel. The third environment: large rooms, clean and tidy, with new equipment inside, the inn has an elevator, and it is also very convenient to move luggage. The fourth price is 118 yuan for a standard room. It costs more than 100 points to live in such a good hotel. Only The fifth service: the landlady is a beautiful woman with great enthusiasm. She also said that she could help us book tickets at a discount. We ordered 228 yuan for ourselves and 208 yuan for the inn. This is really good, But we have a tour guide with us, so there's no need for these and it saves a lot of trouble, but the boss lady is really good!

DAY2: Zhangjiajie Tianzishan Yuanjiajie

The next morning, we finished breakfast and at 8 o'clock, the tour guide came to the hotel to pick us up. We boarded the tourist bus to Zhangjiajie Forest Park and began our beautiful journey in Zhangjiajie!

This is a bronze statue of Wu Guanzhong at the entrance of the scenic area

We have many questions. Wu Guanzhong is not from Zhangjiajie either. Does he have any connection with Zhangjiajie? Next, Chen Chen introduced that Zhangjiajie has been promoted to the world thanks to the great Chinese painting master Wu Guanzhong. In October 1979, he was invited to Hunan to draw a giant landscape painting for the Hunan Hall of the Great Hall of the People. In November, he made a special trip to Xiangxi to collect wind and had the opportunity to come to Zhangjiajie Forest Farm. He was deeply attracted by the scenery here and wrote a travelogue essay titled 'Growing up in a secluded boudoir, unknown to the people', which was published in the Hunan Daily on New Year's Day in 1980. He regarded Zhangjiajie as a lost gem in the scenery of Xiangxi. In his article, he wrote: "In order to explore the beauty of painting, I have worked hard to climb many famous mountains, and I feel that Yandang, Wuyi, Qingcheng, Shilin... cannot compare to the beauty of this unnamed Zhangjiajie." "Here, the beauty may not compare to Guilin, but Danluan is more mysterious, concentrated, upright, and wild than Guilin!" This article has aroused the keen attention of all sectors of society and generated a strong response. When he left, he said that after returning, he would recommend to his friends, especially to Huang Yongyu. His painting work at that time, 'Home Axe Splitting - Zhangjiajie', was collected by the Richelieu Museum in France.

Today, there are still many kindergarten friends who came to Zhangjiajie for a spring outing. How happy this generation is!

Behind me is Jinbian Creek, which is 5710 meters long. Along the Jinbian Creek is the most beautiful boundary of Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot. After entering from the gate of Zhangjiajie Forest Park, you can walk about 300 meters to the entrance of Jinbian Creek. The main scenery includes drunken Arhat, divine eagle whip guard, golden whip rock, Huaguo Mountain, water curtain cave, cutting mountains to save mothers, meeting thousands of miles away, Nanmuping, and water circling the four gates. The water in Jinbian Creek is very clear, with many small fish inside, including Jinbian Creek small fish and baby fish.

We put on Miao's sister's clothes for the first time at the Oxygen Bar Square, and it was a bit uncomfortable at first. The clothes cost 10 yuan per set, and we received a 7-inch photo as a gift.

Walk along the Golden Whip Creek and arrive at the Plum Blossom Pile.

Look at the water of Jinbian Creek, it's crystal clear and well managed

Look at this stone, does it look a bit like Zhu Bajie?

This is a mountain rescue for my mother

Another one is the Divine Eagle Whip Protection. After Director Chen finished speaking, I ate it with Fan, but I didn't remember. I'm getting older and my brain isn't working well

Due to physical limitations, we didn't finish the Golden Whip Creek. I suggested taking the cableway up. We took the Yangjiajie cableway to the top of the mountain to see the natural Great Wall.

Ten mile gallery, besides walking, you can also take a small train. We took the small train to go and walked back to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Located on the Ten Mile Gallery tour route of Tianzishan in Zhangjiajie, there is a stone peak halfway up the mountain, resembling an elderly person carrying a basket and carrying heavy loads. Therefore, it is named "Lao Cai Lao Ren" and is an iconic attraction of the Ten Mile Gallery, as well as one of the top ten scenic spots in Zhangjiajie City.

In the afternoon, when we returned to the inn, we began our foraging journey. I remember when we read the guide, many people recommended Yehua Xiangxiang Restaurant, a restaurant with free transportation. So we decided to try the water and see if we had stepped on the thunder. The fact proved that the public's eyes were discerning. The food we made was really good, delicious, and the portions were also sufficient. The attitude of the owner and waiter inside the restaurant was also very good, they were very friendly to us, the environment was also very good, the prices were affordable, and the cost-effectiveness was quite high. We strongly recommend the owner's stone pot fish and three pot pot, which are super delicious and will regret not eating for a lifetime. Hahaha!

After finishing the meal, we continued taking photos. We were particularly happy today. We are going to watch a performance tonight, and this tour guide recommended us to go. To be honest, this performance is really worth it, so we must go and see it!

Day 3: Tianzishan, Yuanjiajie, Avatar

The He Long bronze statue was built and cast in 1986, with a height of 6.5 meters and a weight of 9 tons. It is the largest bronze statue shaped in China in the past century. Director Chen said to find three treasures on He Long's body. I said pipe, my best friend said horse, and Director Chen said, is there another one? Then we made various guesses, but in the end, we still couldn't guess, it was just the beard. He Long is one of the top ten marshals. Except for He Long, the other nine people do not have beards because Chairman Mao said that He Long is a dragon and a dragon should have whiskers. There is another small detail, He Long's appearance is not facing the front. Director Chen said that He Long is smiling and staring at the cliffs of his hometown Shifeng. Oh, so that's his hometown over there.

Walking forward from Helong Park, you will come to the top ten scenic spots of Yubi Peak and Fairy Scattered Flowers

Do you think this door looks a bit familiar? That's right, it's the cave entrance where the White Bone Demon was defeated three times in Journey to the West

Does the top of this stone in the middle look like a ship? This is smooth sailing

As I was walking, I suddenly noticed that there were many small sticks supported between two stones. Director Chen said that these small sticks were the belief of the Tujia people. Holding one small stick represents standing tall and upright, standing tall and upright as a person.

The only McDonald's built on a high mountain in the world, with an affordable price

There is a mountain peak behind me called Xiannv Sanhua. Can you see it

This is the best bridge in the world. "The best bridge in the world" is a natural stone bridge, located in Zhangjiajie Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, near Shadaogou Scenic Area, which is the essence of Zhangjiajie. The bridge is 350 meters high and is the tallest stone bridge in Zhangjiajie. The height, span, and danger of this bridge are rare in the world, hence it is called the "Number One Bridge in the World".

Many people are taking photos here, and there are also many elderly people. I'm wondering how they climbed up

This is Mount Hailulia. The good places have been taken by merchants for photos, so we can only take pictures of this stone and cannot take photos with it

After visiting Yuanjiajie, we took the Hundred Dragon Sky Ladder down the mountain. This was something I thought we must experience before coming here. It is known as the "world's tallest, fastest, and heaviest elevator" and has therefore been recorded in the Guinness World Records. When taking the Hundred Dragon Ladder, you can enjoy another one of the top ten scenic spots in Zhangjiajie - the gathering of divine soldiers. The gathering of divine soldiers is located directly across from the Hundred Dragon Heavenly Ladder, consisting of 48 relatively independent stone peaks. It was the place where the leader of the Tujia uprising led his troops to rebel against the Emperor Wang, hence the name "Forty Eight Generals Rock". Although it's only a little over a minute and 72 yuan is gone, I'm still looking forward to it. Director Chen said it depends on the people in line. If there are too many, he suggested taking the cableway down. Haha, he said from the beginning that LZ has a good character and only needs to queue for half an hour. Without hesitation, we bought tickets and queued up. One minute later, we arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The fourth day, Tianmen Mountain glass walkway

Tianmen Mountain ticket, 258+3 yuan, valid on the same day, real name registration, be sure to bring your ID card! There were many people going to Tianmen Mountain, and it took an hour and a half to queue up before getting on the cableway. I heard that during holidays, it is possible to queue for more than three hours, so everyone needs to arrange their time well.

After an hour and a half, we finally boarded the cableway. Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain Cableway is the world's longest sightseeing passenger cableway, with a diagonal length of 7455 meters and a one-way travel time of about 28 minutes.

These are the views taken on the cableway

Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area: It looks so beautiful in the distance, like a fairyland

After about 30 minutes, we arrived at the mountain. We took the cableway to the mountaintop and then toured the western route

West Route (Seeking Immortal Wonderland Scenic Area): Standing at the Grand Cableway Station → Lingxiao Terrace (starting the journey to search for immortals by climbing Sendai) → Leaning at the Rainbow Pass → Guigu Tianbu → Guigu Bingpan (learning together with Sun Bin and Pang Juan) → Wild Treasures (exploring the mystery of Li Zicheng's buried treasure) → Small Tianmen → Jinghe (heaven and earth are yin and yang, vertical and horizontal Jinghe) → Observing Guigu Cave (looking at the hanging gate on the mountain wall, feeling the immortal soul of Guigu) → Qiu'er Cave (throwing stones into the cave, one voice for a son, two voices for a woman) → Cherry Bay (experiencing the spiritual meal of Xianshan) → Returning to the cableway station on the middle route.

After completing the western route, we will proceed to the eastern route.

Eastern Route (Biye Yaotai Scenic Area): Grand Cableway Station → Hanging Rope Divine Valley → North View of Tianmen → Cloud Dream Immortal Summit (the highest peak of Tianmen Mountain, overlooking the rise and fall of mountains, urban smoke and clouds) → Spiritual Spring Courtyard (one foot of spiritual spring water, a few drops of plum blossom rain) → Drunken Cloud Pavilion → Happy Forest → Stone Gate Locking Emerald → Immortal Source → Love between Wood and Stone (Wood and Stone Forest, Hard Stone Planting Beech "passed the exam") → Immortal Sitting (Laughing at the Eight Immortals) → Cherry Bay (Experience the Spirit Meal of Xianshan) → View Tianmen Mountain Temple (under construction project, the first temple in Xiangxi) → Middle Route Return to Cableway Station

The eastern route is 3.7 kilometers long, with a travel time of about 2-3 hours. The entire journey focuses on experiencing the vegetation of primitive forests and experiencing the unique forest space of Tianmen Mountain.

The western route is 2.7 kilometers long, with a travel time of about 1-2 hours, focusing on cultural landscapes and experiencing the mysteries of Tianmen Mountain Xianshan culture and reclusive culture. After visiting the three major scenic spots on the mountaintop, take the mountain escalator to Tianmen Cave Scenic Area.

Glass walkway of Tianmen Mountain: I'm a little afraid when I stand on it. The glass is very transparent. How difficult it is for those workers to repair glass walkway!

Walk cautiously!

This is the pavilion in Qiu'er Cave, where you can find ancient coins and wish locks. They are covered in dense locks and are said to be very effective. There is a Bodhisattva in Qiu'er Cave, please don't take photos

Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area: Tianmen Mountain Cable Bridge

Tianmen Mountain glass walkway: I like this glass walkway that stretches out like an arm. At most five people can stand on it at the same time. After taking photos on it, it's still not safe to hurry down.

Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area: Near the end of the tour, I found a red cloth strip for sale, priced at 5 yuan per strip. I bought one and wrote my wish: Wishing the whole family peace and my daughter healthy growth! This is my greatest wish.

Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area: Take a close-up photo of Tongtian Avenue, which is a must pass route for taking an eco-friendly car to Tianmen Cave while standing in the cableway.

Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area: Tianmen Cave, located in the middle and upper part of Tianmen Mountain, with an altitude of 1300 meters, a gate height of 131.5 meters, a width of 57 meters, and a depth of 60 meters, is the highest natural mountain cave in the world. I really didn't have the courage to climb up, so I gave up. 999 steps, I heard it would take more than an hour to climb.

Around 3pm, the tour of Zhangjiajie Forest Park ended, and Director Chen took us to Zhangjiajie Bus Station to bid us a reluctant farewell. We boarded the bus to Phoenix.

Phoenix Town

After putting down our luggage at the hotel, we couldn't wait to go out and search for food. After more than 3 hours of driving, our stomachs were already growling. This is a specialty restaurant recommended by the hotel owner, located in the ancient city near Hongqiao. It's an affordable restaurant, and the firewood fish is really delicious. It's made by burning a fire in the firewood stove. It's my first time eating this kind of food, and I didn't expect it to surprise me. It's also Phoenix Ancient City cuisine. The only food that I think is quite unique, I strongly recommend it!

I think only you who have been to a small town like Phoenix can truly experience it. I have always believed that the eyes are the best camera, and memories are the most beautiful pictures

The water in the Tuojiang River is really clear, and there are always people fishing for debris in the water. Please protect the environment

Put on a river lantern and make a wish

Gazing into the distance, there are still many boats cruising in the river, the sound of oars and the shadows of boats, creating a peaceful and peaceful scenery of the small town.

Phoenix's Fifth Day

In the early morning, we arrived at Jumping Rock at around six o'clock, and no tickets were needed before 7:30. At this time, there were very few people, making it very suitable for taking photos.

Under the city gate, the Tuojiang River stretches across a narrow wooden bridge and a stone pier bridge, with stones as the piers, creating a unique flavor. This peculiar stone pier required both of them to cross sideways, and it was once the only passage out of the city.

The "Phoenix Ancient City" was built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. This "pearl of western Hunan" is truly "small", with only one decent east-west street in the city, but it is actually a green corridor.

The ancient city has beautiful scenery, with the emerald green Tuo River flowing slowly along the city walls, and the verdant foothills of Nanhua Mountain reflecting in the river, like an ink landscape painting.

Foodies never forget to eat wherever they go. I recommend this fragrant pastry stick, priced at 5 yuan per piece, which is very delicious. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, similar to northern rice cakes, but with an extra sweetness.

After passing by the ancient city post office, I went in and bought some postcards to send to my future self. This has been a habit for many years. Every time I go to a place with a post office, such as Lijiang or Wuzhen, I will send myself a postcard to look up my memories one day in the future.

Coming out of the post office, I went to elope with a very good online review. This is a Qingba where there are many famous resident singers.

Tired of walking, we took a break at the Encounter Milk Tea and ordered a classic Encounter flavor, with a hint of chocolate and a light rose fragrance.

Returning to the hotel, lying on the railing, I unknowingly fell asleep....

Miao A-Mei Time

On the sixth day, Changsha

On the sixth day

Today, I took a five hour bus from Phoenix to Changsha. I slept all the way and have been very tired these days. This was taken on the way.

When we arrived at the Changsha stinky tofu station, it was still early. Two hungry people wanted to take a taxi to the pedestrian street to eat the most authentic Changsha stinky tofu. Before taking a taxi, they asked the station staff. He said it was about ten minutes' drive. We took a taxi, and the driver drove for more than half an hour. We were worried. We asked the driver why he hadn't arrived yet. The driver spoke to us in the authentic Hunan dialect for a long time, but didn't understand a word. Wait a minute, about ten minutes later, the driver signaled that this was the pedestrian street. After looking at the watch, the driver only charged us 30 yuan (spelling The bus, there are passengers on the bus), it's 60 yuan for a round trip. At that time, I laughed. Is this the highest level of being a foodie? In order to eat ten yuan Stinky tofu, I spent 60 yuan to take a taxi. Is there a luxury of buying some crabs to dip into.

Write at the end

You are the person I can confide in when angry, hold tightly when desperate, and immediately move to the other person's side when lonely. We tolerate each other's shortcomings, often feeling helpless towards each other, yet still being so considerate.

A journey, from the hardships of departure, the unknowns of the journey to the reluctance of ending, and the emotions in memories, can be said to be a microcosm of a short period of life. In the process, we are always experiencing different ways of life, searching for a different true self, experiencing hardships but also gaining surprises, just to say that I can still live so brilliantly. Embracing hope in despair, touching emotions in simplicity, and being grateful for happiness in ordinariness, this is the meaning of traveling in my heart.
