Main Itinerary Chapter 1. From Guangzhou to Zhangjiajie, how to get to the Zhangjiajie ticket station at the railway station? How to go up the mountain to the ticket station?

1. Go to the Zhangjiajie ticket station at the railway station

It was already past eleven o'clock by the train leaving for Zhangjiajie after 8 p.m. on the 5th. It took almost 15 minutes and was two hours late. After leaving Zhangjiajie Railway Station, the tour guide came to pick us up. The bus station is a few minutes 'walk away. At the bus station, there are different ticket stations for buses to Zhangjiajie Scenic Area. There are five ticket stations for Zhangjiajie Forest Park, Wulingyuan, Shuiasimen, Yangjiajie, and Tianzishan. There are five ticket stations. The first two ticket stations may have to queue up when buying tickets, and there are many people.

Tickets for Zhangjiajie: 228 yuan per ticket. If you are a student, you must bring your student ID card and ID card, because students over the age of 24 do not enjoy discounts.

Also: Even in summer, it is very cold on the mountain, especially in the morning and at night. At night, people in the village wear long-sleeved, medium and thick clothes. When sleeping, there is no need to turn on the air conditioner or fan and it is very cold. We feel that the quilt is not warm enough. It's cool at noon, and you won't feel too hot even when climbing, so you should bring a coat. It's best to bring one for shade and cold protection. Especially for friends who want to see the sunrise, some people still wear jackets in the morning... However, there are also shawls sold there. The asking price is a bit expensive, so you can bargain. In fact, you can buy the thick ones for ten to twenty yuan.

2. How to get to the Ancient City of Fenghuang after visiting Zhangjiajie?

1. How to take a bus from Zhangjiajie to Fenghuang Ancient City:

There is a direct bus from the bus station that runs directly to Fenghuang Ancient City, which takes about 4 minutes. (There are four buses, 8:30, 14:30, 15:30, and 17:00) Friends who take the bus can take a taxi to Hongqiao, the center of the ancient city. It takes about ten minutes to drive, and it should be 10 yuan. You can also take the public transportation to save money. Take the 1A bus to the County People's Hospital Station, where there are green tourist buses and go to Hongqiao for 1 yuan.

2. How to take a train to Fenghuang Ancient City in Zhangjiajie:

Buy a train ticket to Jishou at Zhangjiajie Railway Station, about 20 yuan, more than one to two hours. Walk about 200 meters on the left side of the station to Jishou North Bus Station. There are usually cars from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. But it's better to get it early. It seems to be 23 yuan to go to Fenghuang Chengbei Bus Station. After arriving, you can just take a taxi or take a bus to Gucheng as per item 1 above.

In addition: Fenghuang Ancient City does not require tickets, but nine views require a consecutive ticket of 148 yuan (including attractions: Tuojiang River Rafting, Shen Congwen's Former Residence, Xiong Xiling's Former Residence Museum, Chongdetang East Gate Tower, Hongqiao, Wanshou Palace, Yangjia Ancestral Hall, Nanhua Mountain Shenfeng Garden)

3. On the return journey, I took a taxi at Gucheng for 10 yuan. I will arrive at Fenghuang Chengbei Bus Station in about 10 minutes. I will leave when the passengers are full. I will take the train to Jishou and buy a ticket to Guangzhou.

Day 1 Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

When we go to Tianzi Mountain, the weather is so good. White clouds wrap around the blue sky, and the mountain is cool and cool. It feels like entering a natural oxygen bar. It is so comfortable.

tianzishan

They are all retro, literary, creative... houses.

Although I didn't go to the more famous attractions, I also gained something near the countryside. With these country roads, there is no hustle and bustle of big cities, only a quiet and quiet scenery. The trees were lush along the way, and their shadows were mottled in the sun; wherever you saw, the flowers and plants were luxuriant; in the woods, insects and birds chirped, and they could be heard. Everything is very comfortable!

tianzishan

There is also this kind of small forest. The sun falls sporadically through the leaves. With the protection of the small forest, sunshade is unnecessary. If a breeze blows at this time, please close your eyes and listen. The leaves rustle, like a comfortable afternoon dream. Take a deep breath again and feel that even the lungs are refreshed.

In the evening, I went back to the accommodation inn in Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie to listen to the Ya 'anju characteristic inn. The environment is really good and it is very close to the scenic spot. About two kilometers, there is a car at the entrance that leads directly to the scenic spot. This inn is a good inn. The price is 112 yuan. It is really a very cost-effective inn. Friends who come to Wulingyuan can consider staying there!

The next day Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

The next day, Yangjiajie-Yuanjiajie in Zhangjiajie slept very satisfied. It was very quiet at night and slept until dawn. We left after 8 o'clock.

The second day of the journey is Yangjiajie and Yuanjiajie. Friends who travel freely, remember to bring a map. Our original plan was to take a bus from the Sanchakou parking lot to the Jinji Baoxiao Parking Lot. The tour route was originally: Jinji Baoxiao in Yangjiajie → Guimenguan → Wulong Village-Tianbo Mansion → Climb in one step → Air Corridor → Olympic Torch → Back to the parking lot; Then take a bus from the parking lot to the Yuanjiajie Tianxia First Bridge Parking Lot, the Tianxia First Bridge → Avatar Floating Mountain → Charming Platform → back to the parking lot.

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Haha, we missed our stop and went to Yuanjiajie first. We went to the above-mentioned scenic spots in Yuanjiajie, and then we went to Yangjiajie. Moreover, the route of Yangjiajie was not taken according to the original route. We walked directly from the Golden Rooster to the Sky, and then we missed Tianbo Mansion, Wulong Village and Guimenguan. It was a pity, but we also visited many scenic spots along the way.

We walked along the road to the sky in one step. The scenic spots we passed were the Natural Great Wall,(this is almost down the mountain, you can take the cableway up the mountain, and we climbed it) There were Jiuqu Xieyuan jade, double elm boulder, Horseshoe Rock, etc., and finally back to the parking lot. There are gains and losses. Although we didn't go to Tianbo Prefecture, these other attractions are also worth visiting.

We stayed in Yuanjiajie for about two hours. It took more than three hours to go down the mountain in Yangjiajie and two hours to go up the mountain. Moreover, the road we took was taken by very few people. If you like to be quiet and feel nature, friends can still choose our route, because let me be honest, Zhangjiajie has many tourists, and the popular attractions can be said to be crowded with people. However, our route is very tiring. We have been hiking and choose carefully if we lack physical strength.

Of course, those who are not physically strong can also go down the mountain and take the cableway up the mountain.

Zhangjiajie Tianzishan Sanchakou parking lot, the parking lot is so classic, awesome! The sky is cloudless! That one is a tourist eco-friendly vehicle. Everyone can get on it when they see it. Anyway, it's free, haha.

This is the first bridge in the world, with many tourists, am I right? Ha, more people go to the Vertigo Station.

There will be trapeze performing here, have you noticed? A little yellow, haha. The mountains in Zhangjiajie can be said to be towering into the clouds. I often feel that they are high compared to the sky. They are very majestic and amazing!

The landscape of peaks and forests, towering cliffs, thousands of peaks, and the fairy mountains are holding a meeting in each other? The mountain peak is level with the sky.

Is this the location where Avatar was filmed? Not particularly.

, but I will definitely see it along the way, but I just don't have a deep impression. Haha, if there is a tour guide talking about it, it will be more profound. I often use tour guides, ha! No matter what it is called, just admire it if you think it is beautiful! This blue sky, this green mountain peak, praise!

No matter where you go, you still have to take photos and miss them in the future

Yangjiajie Scenic Area

These two pictures are the "Natural Great Wall" of Zhangjiajie. The road formed by the mountains is winding and continuous, just like the Great Wall! Tourists will be amazed here.

Yangjiajie Scenic Area

The golden rooster announced the dawn. I heard that this chicken head turns every five hundred years. Wherever it goes, the people will be prosperous and the people will be prosperous.

Yangjiajie Scenic Area

The basic path we walked along was this kind of forest path, with fresh air and quiet forest! Personally, I prefer tranquility and like this cool path very much. I think about something quietly, or hum a song, or occasionally tell some gossip to my companions in a few words. I enjoy it very much, haha. And I won't worry about getting exposed at all!

Yangjiajie Scenic Area

This is where Goro worships Buddha. I have to say that the people who name the scenic spots have very rich imaginations.

Yangjiajie Scenic Area

What's this called again? Forgotten…

Yangjiajie Scenic Area

The stairs leading up to the "Climb to the Sky" observation deck are almost vertical, but the person taking the photo is not very skilled. Haha, I can't get that effect.

Yangjiajie Scenic Area

Overlooking the mountains from the "Climbing to the Sky in One Step", in fact, standing on every observation platform in Zhangjiajie and looking at the peaks and seas, it feels like it is endless, and it goes straight to the blue clouds. I'm still one step away from reaching the sky. How high do you think this mountain is? ha

Yangjiajie Scenic Area

Standing in another place on the "One Step to the Sky" observation deck has a different flavor, a different landscape.

Yangjiajie Scenic Area

It was quite difficult for two people to take a group photo, especially when there were few pedestrians. Haha, after walking for so long, I finally had a group photo of the two sisters. There were not many photos taken in Zhangjiajie, and basically they were just taking scenery.

Yangjiajie Scenic Area

The big tree blocks the way. It is a tree called "Wuling Pine". Does it have a symbol and meaning, so I have to leave a photo.

Yangjiajie Scenic Area

There is also this kind of crystal clear river. After walking for most of the day, my sore feet are soaked in the cool water. The feeling is super comfortable. It is not ice, but cold! There are also a few children in the mountains playing in the water. They are so nice. The whole mountain is their paradise, ha.

I returned to Wulingyuan City in the evening. This was the last night I stayed in Zhangjiajie. I had not had a good meal of Zhangjiajie's specialty food before. I had to go out and find a popular restaurant next to the bus station. The food was really good and tasted really good. It was much better than what we had eaten before. The front was all small tricks, but this was the real big fish. The important price was more affordable than before. I really earned it. I still recommend this restaurant!

Day 3 Zhangjiajie + Fenghuang Ancient City

Tianzi Mountain-Shili Gallery-Jinbianxi-Fenghuang Ancient City Get up at 5:30 on the third day and walk to Daguan Terrace to watch the sunrise. After watching the sunrise, hand over your unused luggage to the hotel and arrange it to be checked to Zhangjiajie Bus Station. 20 yuan per package or trailer, regardless of size. Because I have to go to Fenghuang Ancient City at night. After checking in your luggage, you can easily go down the mountain. It's very tiring to climb the mountain with too many things on your back.

There are many monkeys on the way to Jinbian River. They are so smart. We brought a lot of biscuits and distributed them to the monkeys. Haha, we even unpack them ourselves. They are so cute.

After visiting Jinbian Creek, we left the gate of Forest Park. The tour guide successfully got on the bus to the bus station at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon and followed the instructions to pick up the luggage checked from the mountain. Our tour guide accompanied us all the way here, chatting and laughing with us, and I had a great time!

We left for the train at about 6 o'clock, and we arrived at 7:40. As soon as we left, there was a bus to Fenghuang Ancient City. It cost 30 yuan per person to go directly to the ancient city. We thought it was quite good, so we got on the bus stupidly, and it was almost 8 o'clock. I was afraid that there would be no buses at the bus station. In fact, they are some buses from the Gucheng Hotel that collect guests, but they are very enthusiastic and will not treat you badly just because you don't go to their hotel. They arrived smoothly and told us a lot of precautions and tour suggestions along the way, how to evade tickets, etc., haha.

They arrived smoothly and told us a lot of precautions and suggestions on the way.

tianzishan

Zhangjiajie waiting for the sunrise is as beautiful as a painting. Dagantai and Dingxiangrong Village are very close. You don't need to take a car to go there. There are two bifurcated roads all the way uphill. Go to the road on the right and you will see a lot of people. It was very foggy that morning. Many people went there and turned back the way they came, saying that there was no sunrise to see. We went late and it was already six o'clock. Maybe some tourists came too early and waited too long. Anyway, many people left and said there would be no sunrise. Later, something beautiful happened. So, follow your heart..

tianzishan

When I saw this scene, I really wanted to sing Bodhisattva Man. The mountains overlapped with gold Mingmie... Although this word does not express this meaning, it still fits literally...

After watching the sunrise, we first went to Tianzi Mountain → Shentang Bay → Diandian Terrace → Xihai Peak Forest → Tianzi Observation Platform → Yunqing Terrace → Helong Park → Fairy Dispersing Flowers → Yubi Peak → Tianzi Pavilion.

tianzishan

I heard that this is the scene where "Three Beats the White Bone" was filmed in Journey to the West

place. He also said that this was the old road used by villagers to go down the mountain.

tianzishan

Even if it is sunny during the day, some paths that cannot be penetrated by the sun are very dark

tianzishan

Walking down the Tianzi Pavilion is the Shili Gallery. There are many scenic spots. I write about several main (remembered) warrior training horses → Tiantai → Three Sisters Peak → elderly herb pickers → Family portrait → Shouxing Welcome → Parking lot

After visiting Shili Gallery, take a bus from the parking lot at the foot of the mountain to Shuiaosimen Station. Follow Jinbian Creek and go straight to the Forest Park Ticket Station. After you go out, you will follow the instructions and see the bus to Zhangjiajie Bus Station.

There are also many scenic spots in Jinbian River, and it took us about two hours to get out of the gate. The route is written according to the map I brought back, and we all went to these attractions along the way. Zhang Liang's Tomb → Jumping Fish Pond → Chonghuan Tree → Meeting in Thousands of Miles → Zipangtan → Master and apprentice scriptures → Golden Whip Rock → Mother and Child Peak → Runmen Welcome → Forest Park Ticket Station.

Zhangjiajie Shili Gallery

There are many porters carrying sliding poles in Zhangjiajie. I don't know how to evaluate this. Various lives. Whether you sit or not, you can't tell whether you are good or bad.

Zhangjiajie Shili Gallery

The old man who picks medicine is easy to recognize.

Fenghuang ancient city

Fenghuang Ancient City--It was past 9 o'clock in the evening when the two sisters transformed into "Miao girls" went there. After entering the ancient city, you will have a beautiful night view. Just enjoy it well. The attractions of Fenghuang Ancient City will not be introduced one by one, because we don't follow the route in Fenghuang and are not afraid of getting lost. Personally, I don't think there's anything fun in Phoenix during the day. Friends with sufficient funds can really sign up for a cheap one-day tour to visit a certain Miao Village, and then come back to the ancient city at night to watch the night view. This is also good. Just check the approximate cost online first, because we don't have much money and slept in a hotel one day, haha.

Next, there is basically nothing to say about Phoenix's route. The main reason is to experience life in the ancient city. The night view of the ancient city is the most beautiful. There are many rooms here in Phoenix, but you can book in advance with peace of mind.

Day 4 Phoenix Ancient City

I got up early in the morning because I wanted to feel the atmosphere of the ancient city in the morning!

In fact, Phoenix during the day is also very literary! But we didn't spend long shopping. We arrived at the hotel around 11 o'clock. We slept all afternoon and only came out in the evening.

Fenghuang Ancient City has this kind of Miao clothes for rent. It costs 5 yuan each set. If you add a headdress, it costs 10 yuan each set. You can take it yourself, but you can also ask the person who rents the clothes to take it, and you can take the photo immediately. It costs 12 yuan each. I don't know how many inches it is, but it's quite big in any case

There is a restaurant in Fenghuang Ancient City that specializes in firewood cuisine. I think the food made by his family is really delicious, and firewood cuisine is quite unique. The more you eat firewood food, the better it tastes. The more you want to eat it, and the more you want to eat it. I feel full. I am really satisfied to rest for a while and continue to fight. The environment is also very good, and the service is also in place. It is the only gourmet restaurant recommended by Fenghuang Ancient City!

Return on the fifth day

After visiting Fenghuang in the afternoon, I returned. I took a taxi for 10 yuan in the ancient city. In about 10 minutes, I arrived at Fenghuang Chengbei Bus Station. I left when full, and went to Jishou and took the train to buy a ticket to Guangzhou. The journey is over!
