It turns out that Zhangjiajie is nature's favorite place, because it gives almost all imagination to Zhangjiajie's wonderful peaks, making Zhangjiajie a combination of magical space and mortal town. It is strange and full of fireworks. Very beautiful! So, faced with Zhangjiajie, which is so rich in tourist attractions, how can we have a perfect vacation? Xiaolan shares with you several must-see attractions and must-eat delicacies in Zhangjiajie.

NO.1 Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie, where Avatar is filmed

Wulingyuan is the core attraction in Zhangjiajie and the famous Avatar location. Of course, it must be ranked first in check-in. After entering Wulingyuan, you can experience the Hundred Dragons Ladder. This is an outdoor sightseeing elevator recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. It is built on a cliff of more than 300 meters and can climb to the top of the mountain in 66 seconds. In the elevator, you can Through glass viewing the mountain peaks hundreds of millions of years ago is very shocking.

After getting out of the ladder, you can view the countryside in the sky from afar. It is a countryside lying quietly on the top of the mountain. There are farmhouses and crops, but its edge is an abyss. Every morning, it is shrouded by clouds and fog, like a fairyland.

Hallelujah Mountain is one of the 3000 amazing peaks in Zhangjiajie, with an altitude of 1074 meters. The peak shape is cut by a knife and axe. It stands tall in Zhangjiajie. It is the prototype of the floating mountain in the movie "Avatar". If you look closely, it really looks like an alien. The upper body of an alien!

Walking along the plank road on the cliff, the jagged mountains began to surround them from all directions, like Optimus Prime, standing between heaven and earth. This is not the world, but it is clearly an avatar's magical outer space, which makes all tourists amazed!

The world's first bridge is suspended above two mountain peaks, with a 350-meter cliff underneath it. It can be said to be a masterpiece of nature. The height, span and thrillness are rare in the world, so it is called "the first bridge in the world."

The Jinbian River meanders at the foot of the Wulingyuan Mountains. The water quality is clear and bright, with a total length of 7.5 kilometers. The valley is quiet, green and cool all year round. It is known as "one of the most beautiful canyons in the world." In summer, tourists go down the mountain., they all like to gather here to play in the water and swim, and they are extremely enjoyable.

NO.2 "Zhangjiajie. Charming Xiangxi "reveals the revelation of the disappearance of corpses in Xiangxi

When traveling to Zhangjiajie, you must watch "Zhangjiajie. Charming Xiangxi ", because the magnificent mountains and rivers of Zhangjiajie hide too many mysterious, interesting and strange folk customs, and" Zhangjiajie. Charming Xiangxi "reveals to you these folk customs that have gradually disappeared through exquisite stage plays.

One of the most attractive programs is "Xiangxi Catching the Dead". Xiangxi Catching the Dead "is talked about by many people. It is like covering a thick layer of fog, making people both horrified and curious. Xiangxi's corpse hunting is part of the ancient Chu witch culture. It is said that thousands of years ago, Chiyou, the ancestor of the Miao nationality, led his troops to fight against the enemy along the Yellow River. On the battlefield, there was smoke, rivers of blood, and corpses everywhere. Many soldiers died. They have a tradition that after death, one must return to his homeland. So, the military counselor was invited to recite incantations and pray to the gods. The bodies of the soldiers all stood up and were finally taken back to their hometown to be buried in peace.

This program revealed the origin and process of driving corpses in Xiangxi, but it did not make me feel afraid. Instead, it felt sad. The soldiers were eager to return to their hometown, and the parents were looking forward to their children coming home. The heart-breaking pain after receiving the children was all touching.

"Wild Mogus" is also part of the mysterious western Hunan. It is a relic of ancient history and culture and is known as the "living fossil of primitive drama." In the Tujia culture of Xiangxi, the form of Maogus has been repeatedly expressed by them for generations, becoming a spiritual and emotional catharsis that goes deep into the bone marrow. Tujia pay homage to their ancestors, earnestly pray for a bumper harvest, and wildly express reproductive worship and naked pursuit between the sexes. The solemnity is full of wit, and the mystery is full of humor, showing the diversity, richness and vividness of the source of Xiangxi's spirit in a vivid way, and showing the strong vitality of the ancestors of Xiangxi.

In addition, there are also customs such as marriage, daughter gatherings, and stair climbing of various ethnic minorities in Xiangxi, which are also presented in a happy and lively way. What is worth emphasizing again is that the stage effect is very cool and magical!

NO.3 Xibu Old Street, Zhangjiajie "Little Lijiang"

There is an old Xibu Street in Wulingyuan District of Zhangjiajie. The old street is surrounded by the flexible Suoxi River. Along the river, there are many bars opened. Most of them are exquisite and romantic, so they have the feeling of "Little Lijiang".

At night, when the lights first come on, the bar begins to stage a lively nightlife. Three or five friends sit on the terrace, in the garden, and under the wooden house, drinking the local "Zhangjiajie" beer while chatting happily, and there are also resident singers to entertain.

The early morning in Xibu Old Street is particularly quiet. The antique penthouse, pavilions, and small bridges are bathed in the light of the sun, making it very suitable for portraits.

Walking to the Suoxi River and crossing the river on a stone pier, I only heard the sound of water rushing. I was very happy and couldn't help but take off my shoes. The water was very cold and comfortable, and I couldn't bear to come out if I soaked in it.

NO.4 Zhangjiajie Cuisine

Stinky tofu. Opposite Xibu Old Street, there is also a lively snack street. It is very quiet during the day, but at night, it becomes a food street. Local people push stalls to the streets, and most of them are stinky tofu. Stinky tofu is a special snack in Hunan. It smells smelly, but it tastes fragrant and spicy. The tofu is fried until the outside is crispy and the inside is soft.

Grilled fish, Zhangjiajie's grilled fish technology is good. It is different from Chongqing's spicy food. It is fresh and spicy, the fish is very tender, and the side dishes include konjac, cucumbers, etc., which is more greasy.

Tujia bacon: Every year near the end of the New Year, local people will kill New Year pigs to make bacon, marinate the meat in a large vat for four to six days, wait for salt and spices to soak into the meat, and then wear it and hang it on the beams or stoves of the fire pit. Slowly smoked it dry with fireworks, it is a unique delicacy in Zhangjiajie.

Baby fish: Baby fish is a specialty of Wulingyuan and a famous dish. Traditional eating methods include stir-fried braising and clear stewed in casserole.
