When people are busy, their lives become hazy and eventually their hearts become blind. This is what I have experienced in my work over the past few years. We often chase after our immediate goals and work tirelessly for a lifetime, but in the end, we become mediocre and lose the quality of our lives and the simplicity of our hearts. It is the years of running around that have gradually given me these experiences. Therefore, I began to learn to stop and go outdoors to appreciate the scenery along the way, so as not to fall into the dilemma of being busy, hazy, or blind. At this time, the first scenery I noticed was "Zhangjiajie"!

When I searched for tourist attractions online, Zhangjiajie was the first one that caught my attention. The unique cave scenery, strange shaped peaks and rocks, and so on, all made me unable to escape the sight. This is such a wonderful yet beautiful attraction, and it was this impulse that immediately made me pack my bags and set off. And I also stumbled upon the ancient city of Phoenix by chance. As soon as I looked at it, I felt that it was a very interesting city, full of antique charm and cultural atmosphere, which was quite to my taste, so I also added it to my itinerary

Phoenix Town

Due to work restrictions, I can only take half a day off on Fridays. In the afternoon, I had to rush to Phoenix Ancient City by car after finishing work. Because I heard that the ancient city is beautiful at night, I specially arranged to stroll around at this time. Now, let's enjoy the following picture

The specialty cuisine of Fenghuang Ancient City - firewood cuisine, the taste is really amazing. It's a world of fireworks that I haven't tried before. This time I saw it and it's very unique. I went to taste it, it's a delicious human dish! I highly recommend the special cuisine that everyone must try at Fenghuang Ancient City, and the blood cake duck made in the restaurant is also delicious, satisfying!

It's dark now, and the scenery of the ancient city is extremely beautiful

I accidentally became a bit drunk and had to stay at a nearby hotel, where I slept until the next day. When I woke up, it was almost noon. I had a casual lunch and went out to explore the ancient city in the afternoon

Zhangjiajie

The road feels increasingly difficult to walk on

Arriving at the legendary 'One Husband Takes Over the Pass', how narrow the mud horse is! I should lose weight now (crying)

After laboriously passing through the winding and twisting Wulong Village, we headed straight towards the "Tianbo Mansion"

Successfully overcome the legendary vertical ladder

When reaching the summit, one can overlook the mountains and small towns

It took me two or three hours to slowly walk and explore before finally conquering these two scenic spots in the Yang family world. As for the originally planned "Natural Great Wall"... let's go next time hahaha. Then I found a place nearby to rest and ate some food I brought myself to supplement.

Take some extra effort and quickly walk back to the cableway station, then take an eco-friendly car (about 20 minutes) to the "Number One Bridge in the World" and start exploring the "Yuan Family Realm". It's much easier to wander around the Yuan family world, but this kind is more suitable for me

Arriving at the observation deck in the backyard, the scenery here is very vast and refreshing

Lost Soul Platform

I have already explored the Yuan Family Realm here, which is much more relaxed compared to the Yang Family Realm. The scenery is also quite good, making people stop and admire along the way from time to time, as if they are "mesmerized".

After passing through numerous scenic spots, we finally arrived at the "Bailong Parking Lot" and saw many people who had just taken the elevator. Each one looked excited! I am even more looking forward to it, crossing the "Hundred Dragon Bridge" and arriving at the famous "Hundred Dragon Ladder"

The scenery of standing on the ladder that I took myself, there is indeed a difference~~

The Hundred Dragon Sky Ladder truly lives up to its name, reaching over 300 meters high and fast, like soaring straight into the sky. The key is that the scenery is also great, with views such as "Sky Countryside", "Divine Weapon Gathering", and "General Formation". The ride time is also very short, so overall it is highly recommended! I took advantage of the boredom in the queue to search, and surprisingly won the Guinness World Record. It really brings us glory

Finally coming down, it's actually quite fast. The actual elevator running time is only about one and a half minutes

After walking around the four gates, it's almost time. It should be said that my feet are almost there (laugh), so I have to take the environmental protection vehicle again (about 30 minutes) to get out from the gate of Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot

Tonight's additional itinerary is to travel to "Xibu Old Street" near Wuling Avenue in the evening

I woke up early this morning because I had two big trips to go, namely "Jinbian Creek" and "Huangshi Village". When I looked online, these were two places that I really liked, so I had a hearty breakfast to nourish my spirit and welcome the two beautiful scenery of Zhangjiajie.

Today is from the ticket booth in Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot, take the environmental protection car to Shuirao Simen (the route back yesterday), and open the first stop of 7.5 kilometers today - Jinbianxi. Now let's take a look at my bountiful harvest!

Gold ingots all over the ground@@

The 7.5-kilometer journey was slowly completed in a intoxicated mood. I think "green mountains and clear waters" can illustrate the full picture of Jinbian Creek, which is so charming and natural, quiet and lively. No matter how many words I say at this moment, they cannot describe the joy in my heart. Let these photos express my feelings

After spending more than three hours, I finally arrived at today's last attraction - Huangshi Village. Huangshi Village is also a very suitable place for strolling and leisure, and naturally it is also very suitable for me. However, due to my weak physical strength, I chose to take a cableway up the mountain and slowly walk down the mountain

The South Pillar of Heaven seems to point straight to the horizon

Strolling among the lush ancient trees and taking slow steps on the flat slate, after more than two hours, I feel that every step is enjoyable and enjoyable. Although my body does feel quite tired, my heart is extremely fulfilled. Looking back on these past few days of journey, it has indeed brought this moment of my life to a standstill. I have paid close attention to the surroundings and the beautiful scenery of life that I have never noticed before. I also hope that those who feel confused and lost about their current situation, like me, will not only move forward straight, but also need to slow down their pace and heart appropriately. They will discover many beauties and joys in life
