Write at the beginning

Once again with a group tour, this time from confirming the location to placing the order was on the same evening, the speed was so fast that it was really easy to leave. Originally at the end of September, when I said I was going to Guangzhou, my friends wanted to see Shanghai Shenhua (or Shanghai SIPG? I'm not a fan, I didn't remember clearly... embarrassing). In mid October, when she didn't have time, she changed her location and looked at Huangguoshu Waterfall, Zhangjiajie, and Xi'an. Finally, she chose Zhangjiajie, which she had been wanting to go to since last year (although she wanted to go anywhere).

Let's embark on our journey to Hunan on November 1st~~

The spirit of the cover image: just like a young student, full of vigor and vitality, a scholarly spirit, and a commanding presence.

The main text begins~~~

DAY1 Shanghai → Changsha (Free activities: Orange Island, Taiping Street)

Having reserved sufficient time to arrive at the airport, I began to feel a sense of ceremony with my friends. My friend also bought a Mickey Mouse at the airport (by the way, we also bought tickets to Disney, and we need to visit Disney twice before the end of December. Now when I'm writing my travelogue, I've already gone once, and the second time will be next Monday)

The plane will arrive in Changsha soon. When I returned to Shanghai from Yunnan in the first half of the year at Huanghua Airport, I had a connecting flight there. I didn't expect it to come again six months later. What a coincidence? That's not it. The temperature in Changsha feels higher than in Shanghai, and the two of them felt the warmth of Changsha. The Ctrip driver who picked us up from the airport picked us up, and then went to the train station to pick up two other young ladies from Wuxi (these two are familiar with each other, talk a lot, and ended up being group members, sitting in front of us on the train afterwards). Isn't that unfortunate

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the hotel cleaned up and went out to look for food. On the way to the subway station, I ate the local wordy noodles (I'm not used to eating Rice noodles. I might not appreciate them). Destination Orange Island!!!

Speaking of which, we walked back and forth from beginning to end. I thought it would be fast, but the scenery I see while walking is also different, even though it's hot..

Let's start with a song, Qinyuan Spring · Changsha

Independent cold autumn, heading north along the Xiang River to Orange Island.

Look at the mountains covered in red, the forests stained with colors; The river is blue and transparent, with hundreds of boats competing for flow.

Eagles soar into the sky, fish swim in the shallow depths, and thousands of types of frost compete for freedom.

Lost in the vastness of the earth, who governs its ups and downs?

Bring a hundred companions to travel. Memories of the past are full of ups and downs.

As a young student, in the prime of his life; The scholar is full of vigor and vigorous in his movements.

Guiding the country, stirring up words, and burying the soil of the past ten thousand lords.

Have you ever remembered hitting the water in the middle and the waves restraining the flying boats?

It's this round subway card again (like Nanjing)
The next day, on November 2nd, our company (Gao Luan Special) performed at Meixi Lake. Luan Biao and his team also checked in at Orange Island, but missed it and didn't meet..
Orange trees at the head of Orange Island cannot be picked at will (fine will be imposed, vendors will pick and sell to tourists...)~We bought oranges, they are really sweet and delicious! There are also many orange fruit trees in the orange family

Returning to the bustling May 1st Square, we need to prepare dinner. Stinky tofu, a must to eat, has a pleasant tea look!! Then I couldn't eat anything else. The first day I ate Wenheyou, and the last day I ate Black Classic, which was not very different from the Changsha stinky tofu sold in Shanghai. I only ate it in Changsha. Tea with a beautiful appearance, I drank it twice in total, on the first night and the last day at Yuelu Mountain. I ordered Youlan Latte and Shengsheng Wulong, but I personally prefer Youlan Latte a little.

Then I strolled through Taiping Old Street and passed by Half Immortal Tofu. I didn't queue up and couldn't drink (in the first week back to Shanghai, I opened a new store there). Taiping Old Street is very short and crowded. Everyone came to join in the fun and take a stroll. The other exit is Jiefang West Road (enter from the Wuyi Avenue entrance and exit from Jiefang West Road). This kind of street is basically just passing by. However, on the last day, at noon during the day, I still discovered some artistic things that I could take photos of (according to the timeline, with photos later).

Youlan Latte

I walked a lot on the first day. Before returning to the hotel, I bought some water and fruit, and prepared to go to Zhangjiajie the next day~

DAY2 Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, Charming Xiangxi (Performance)

After driving for half a day, we finally arrived at the Grand Canyon. The long-awaited glass bridge is not scary at all!!!

Encountered many Korean groups (Korean group members, middle-aged Oba and Oni)
The way down the mountain
Let's have a bottom-up view of the valley
Walking in the mountains, absorbing oxygen ions. Water, heavy metals have exceeded the standard.. (Okay, the aftermath of my previous profession)
I'm not really interested in this kind of performance, but without watching it, there's nothing else to do. It's in the mountains and valleys

Day3 Tianmen Mountain, Furong Town, Phoenix (Night Scene)

We went to Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area early in the morning! It rained a bit in the morning and I forgot to bring the raincoat I bought at Shangri La last time. So I had to continue buying it on site. After buying it, I waited for a while, but it won't rain anymore...

Unfortunately, the cableway was closed for maintenance this time. It started on November 1st and is the cableway that I have been longing for.. However, this is how we took the winding mountain road with 99 turns twice. It was exciting, and with each turn, the driver was definitely a master!!!

At the foot of Tianmen Mountain, you can see the cave from afar
The cableway under maintenance is undergoing testing..
Arriving at the entrance of the cave, the distant sea of clouds, my favorite sea of clouds, is like a fairyland. I just forgot to get off the car and went take a picture.
I didn't climb up, and took the elevator for a long time. I am someone who loves taking elevators, but the time is too long. I used to love the elevator in Zhongshan Park's Dream of the Dragon that spans between the third and fourth floors in Shanghai, but I got a little tired of it this time.
Finally! Guigu Stack Road!!!

Ghost Valley plank path, this time two glass walkway are gathered! Without any sense of terror, these two times made me feel like I'm really not afraid of heights!! Just as they walked over, the two elder brothers immediately returned and moved forward a little bit. One elder brother pressed hard against the mountain wall, tightly grasping the rocks and moving... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... No mockery, it just feels too funny!

The boardwalk is very short, much shorter than the glass bridge of the Grand Canyon. Although the glass bridge, I also think it is short.

Trees in the sky, towering and exquisite.
This thumbs up! The aunties in the distance are excellent!!!

After basking in the sun on the mountaintop for a while, I feel really good!!! Away from the hustle and bustle, only self purification remains, without the troubles of reality, only mountains, clouds, and sunshine.

On the way to Fenghuang in the afternoon, we need to go to Furong Town, which is popular on the internet (the night view is very good, but unfortunately we only saw the scenery near dusk in the afternoon). Furong Town is very small. In the first section of the road, the park tour guide will explain, and starting from the waterfall, you can stroll inside. The business is not yet mature, and there are not many things to explore. However, we managed to capture the sunset!

A small waterfall, passing through the waterfall, feels good
At night, with the lights on, the night view should be brightly lit
When can I go watch the sunrise at sunset

After dinner, take the highway all the way to Fenghuang Ancient City. Night view check-in. The hotel stayed away from the scenic spot and walked over.

I haven't been browsing much, many of them are bars by the shore, and other small shops are also quite ordinary. There are also Hanfu and other businesses that sell Hanfu, but I'm not interested. There are many people selling flower garlands at night, and there are also those wearing seedling clothes to take photos. Late at night, I dare not play or feel anything. After all, we have already arrived in Xiangxi, so we still need to pay attention to safety at night. There will be fresh and mature seedlings in the local area, and there are also many tourists. For safety reasons, it is necessary to stroll around brightly lit places.

In Xiangxi, the techniques of Miao Gu and corpse chasing, as depicted in the novel, still give this place a mysterious veil. Perhaps, there is also 'Ghost Blows Out the Lamp - Angry Xiangxi', which I have read and heard of audio novels before, and it has given me a hint of imagination about it.

DAY4 Phoenix → Changsha (Free activity: the area on Jiefang West Road and Huangxing Middle Road)

Early in the morning, I'm going to visit the Phoenix Ancient City during the day. The phoenix during the day is another scene. Walk through the streets and alleys, cross the small paths, reach the ancient city gate, come to the ancient city wall, walk on the single plank bridge (I was most afraid of this when I was a child, but this time I dared to walk on stones. When encountering someone from the opposite side, the wooden one still panicked), and go boating on the Tuo River.

In the morning, the scenic spot ends and we take the highway to Changsha. I finally returned to the city at night! I've been here for so many days and haven't had a good meal. I have to go eat. It's better to go near the busiest Wuyi Square, which is not far from the hotel. Coincidentally, the drop off location happens to be Guojin, at a crossroads. Check in.

After finishing, I returned to the hotel, passed by Pozi Street, and then walked all over Taiping Street, preparing to take the bus back to the hotel.

It's after nine o'clock. We're having hotpot and poisoning

DAY5 Changsha (Yuelu Mountain, Taiping Street) → Shanghai

In order to make up for the regret of Tianmen Mountain Cableway, we are preparing to start the Yuelu Mountain Cableway. There is a love lock on the mountaintop, it has nothing to do with me... Miss from the same industry bought it, but I don't know which little brother's name was written on it when "Single Wang" bought it?

Yuelu Mountain is accessed from the east gate (if I remember correctly), because we take a cableway here, and we have chosen the cableway to go up and down. In fact, we can also make a slide. We arrived at around 9 or 10 in the morning. When we went up, there weren't many people, but when we came down, there were more people.

In fact, there are still attractions on Yuelu Mountain, the famous Aiwan Pavilion. But I didn't clock in. The day before, one of the group members who arrived in Changsha on the first day had already visited Yuelu Mountain and said that the maple leaves were not red, so they didn't go sightseeing.

tips:

1. No need for tickets

2. Cableway: round-trip RMB50

The slow and leisurely cableway, the gentle autumn breeze
Misty, unable to see the Orange Island Head in the distance

The tea on the mountain looks beautiful, there are really many beautiful tea colors

It's past twelve o'clock and I'm back at Wuyi Square. How much do I love May Day Square? Just because of its good location and access to food and drink. Then I walked through Taiping Street during the day. Discovered graffiti and wine bottles on the nearby path.

I like this tone~~~

Thinking of the Furong Tunnel at Xiamen University

This' dismantling 'is the essence!!!
Still on the road~~~~

I went to Wuyi Square and Taiping Street three times, following the activity trajectory in Changsha. Attach a map that is simple and clear, and you will know why you went. From the far left is Yuelu Mountain, with Orange Island in the middle and Wuyi Square (Guojin, Taiping Street, etc.) on the right

I casually ate some lunch: black classic Stinky tofu, big sausage, and what else? I forgot a little..

Then I went back to the hotel and prepared to take the airport bus to the airport. The airport bus ride is located near the Line 2 train station, which is easy to find. The journey is smooth and we will arrive at the airport soon. It's early and we're not allowed to check in. Finally entering the waiting room, how can two bored people pass the time? Sit by the french window and take a picture of the plane taking off (normal mode, fast forward). An hour or two will pass in an instant~~~

Huanghua Airport, wait for the plane to take off and shoot a video. Two boring people
Shanghai Night Sky

In the evening, I returned to the magic city. Before landing, I unexpectedly captured a picture of Dishui Lake!!! It's really round!!!

Wow, the five-day trip to Xiangxi has come to an end. Two trips this year, come to an end. At the beginning of the year, only the travel destination was marked with a check mark. After seeing the snow, I went to Shangri La and also to Zhangjiajie, taking the glass bridge. I almost forgot that in Changsha, I didn't go near the TV station and ran into a celebrity by chance...

Looking forward to next year's' departure '.. I just don't know where to go yet. I want to go to many places. (OS: In winter, I want to go to the north in my daily life, but it snows. A few days ago, it snowed in Beijing, making it the capital city.)
