San Mao said: "If your heart has no place to rest, you will be wandering wherever you go. "Drifting and wandering have always been the focus of my life. After returning from a trip to Zhangjiajie for fame, I have been eager to write down what I saw and heard from the trip. However, I was afraid that my superficial words would desecrate that fairyland on earth, but I hesitated and struggled because I had promised others before. So I braced myself to sort out my thoughts and fulfill my previous promise.

Tianmen Mountain

Tianmen Mountain

Yunwu Tianmen Mountain

It was eight o'clock in the morning when I arrived in Zhangjiajie. After placing my luggage in the hotel (Tianmen Mountain Landscape Hotel), I had breakfast in the alley next to Weidi, and then followed A Yongge (a very down-to-earth Tujia elder brother) to go to Tianmen Mountain Cableway Station. Tianmenshan Cableway Station is only one or two hundred meters away from the hotel, which is very convenient. After buying the tickets, we took the cableway up the mountain (Tianmen Mountain cableway has a total length of 7455 meters and a height difference of 1279 meters. It is the longest sightseeing passenger cableway in the world. The time interval is 28.8 seconds, and the one-way traffic capacity is 1000 people per hour., the maximum climbing angle is 38.6 degrees, which is rare in the world. It starts from the city garden in the center of Zhangjiajie City and goes straight to the original sky garden on the top of Tianmen Mountain. Along the way, you can see the beautiful Zhangjiajie urban scenery, fresh pastoral scenery and majestic alpine scenery. The whole cableway is like a rainbow flying across the sky and the world, or like a giant dragon soaring into the clear clouds. It is surrounded by the mountain wall and rises into the sky. It is magnificent and spectacular. It is one of the "Four Wonders" of Tianmen Mountain Tourist Scenic Area.)

As advertised, it was a thrilling and exciting journey, and we talked excitedly along the way. As the altitude becomes higher and higher, the clouds and clouds become thicker, and the whole body becomes white, as if you are in a fairyland. Looking out through the glass, the looming mountains in the clouds and mist are all alive at this moment, just like a thick landscape painting splashed with ink. After reaching the top of the mountain and leaving the cableway station, the thick fog buried everything. Although I felt a little regretful, I couldn't help but breathe in the air rich in oxygen ions. The fog was so thick that it followed the drizzle, and many tourists put on colorful raincoats. In the vast white fog, we came to the famous "Ghost Valley Plank Road". The tree was covered with red ribbons for praying, making it a unique and beautiful scenery. At the glass plank road, many tourists are waiting in line because the plank road is one-way and is particularly challenging. Wearing shoe covers and walking on these cliffs is also a test. Many tourists dare not look at the abyss under their feet.

After visiting Tianguo Buddhist Temple, we took a two-person cable car down to the cableway Central Station and drove to Tianmen Cave. Here we have to test our little hearts once again. The "Tongtian Avenue" is in a dangerous and thrilling situation. It also winds its way through the natural dangers of mountain cliffs and is "the number one highway wonder in the world." It has a total length of 10.77 kilometers, reaching the foot of Tianmen Cave from the sign gate. The altitude has increased sharply from 200 meters to 1300 meters. There are 99 turns in total. There are thousands of cliffs on both sides of the avenue and empty valleys.

Wulingyuan

Arrived in Wulingyuan in the afternoon and checked in the listening Ya 'an Ju characteristic inn that I had booked before. It is next to the entrance of Xibu Street in Wulingyuan. The location is very good, and it is two to three kilometers away from the scenic area. There is a bus at the entrance of the inn to the scenic area. It is quite convenient. The inn has a very good environment and the price is cheap. You can stay for 120 yuan, which is quite a good deal!

Fog trapped Yangjiajie

The next morning, Brother Ayong came to pick us up at the inn at eight o'clock. Due to the elderly and children, we did not take the normal route. Instead, we went to Tianzi Mountain, which was relatively far away, and went directly up the mountain to save the hardship of climbing the mountain.

Due to time, we didn't stay long and rushed to "Tianbo Prefecture". Perhaps it is because I am a descendant of the Yang family and I feel closer to this attraction. After passing through the stockade, you will reach a viewing platform. But I quickly discovered that this was not the best place to enjoy the scenery, and the "Tianbo Prefecture" not far away was the best place to enjoy the scenery. The road in the past is not far, but it is dangerous. I still decided to give it a try. The so-called Tianbo Prefecture is actually a protruding stone pillar. The top of the stone pillar is narrow and surrounded by upright cliffs, so Tianbo Prefecture is completely surrounded by fences. There are two barrel-like passages tightly enclosed with iron fences that can lead directly to Tianbo Prefecture. While at the observation deck opposite, some of us flinched, but with the encouragement of Ah Yongge, we all climbed up the "Tianbo Prefecture". Although the dense fog blocks our vision, it cannot block our galloping hearts. Standing here, I feel like I look down on the common people. After that, I returned along another tour path dug out of a cliff. When passing through scenic spots such as "Natural Oxygen Bar" and "Gorang Praying Mother", I couldn't help but stop and watch, and was deeply impressed by the magical craftsmanship of nature. On the way back, I also saw two wild monkeys, an old and a young, looking for food. From time to time, a toad jumped out of the bushes. When it was full of air, it looked like a big balloon. Unfortunately, I didn't see the five-colored flowers or the king vine.

The scenic spot here is newly developed and there are not many tourists. People who like to quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery can choose this place. However, the facilities are not very complete, so it is recommended that the elderly, children, pregnant women, etc. not go.

Love Tianzi Mountain and Yuanjiajie

Having seen the beauty of Zhangjiajie the day before, we couldn't help but be curious. On the early morning of the third day, we took rain gear and drove to the Tianzi Mountain landscape. As soon as I got off the car, I realized that although it was raining, there were not many tourists.

Tianzi Mountain has always been known as the "King of the Peak Forest". It got its name because in history, a Tujia leader named himself the emperor, Xiang Dawang (named Dakun). The clouds and mist on Tianzi Mountain are admired by Chinese and foreign tourists. When I left, it was still drizzling continuously. I climbed the Tianzi Pavilion and looked far into the distance and plunged into the sea of clouds, completely unaware that I was standing on an abyss. I often do the thing of setting up a camera and waiting for the clouds to disperse. It is precisely because of this that I truly understand "keeping the sky and seeing the moon bright." Of course, we are extremely lucky. Our uncle from Beijing has been waiting for the sea of clouds for two days, but we only waited for more than an hour before we found that the sky suddenly cleared up. The place was still white and surrounded by rain. After baptism, it is clearly displayed in front of our eyes. This sudden appearance of beautiful scenery made us so surprised that we forgot to breathe and to speak. When we realized it, we hurriedly raised the camera in our hands that was waiting for it to enter and kept shooting wildly. The clouds and clouds on Tianzi Mountain are very spectacular after the rain. The surging clouds and clouds form various forms of waterfalls, waves, waves, and catkins, which are continuous and vast and magnificent.

Tianzi Pavilion is a good place to shoot. The beautiful scenery around it is fixed in the lens. Beautiful fairies float past in front of them with flower baskets in hand. The wind blows and clouds float, as if flowers are being scattered to the world. Standing on the observation deck and looking into the southwest, you can see dozens of well-arranged peaks in the valley, rushing into the blue sky. The stone peaks on the right are like royal pens inserted upside down, and the stone peaks on the left are like "mountains and rivers" with pen pens closed. At the Daguan Terrace, you can see thousands of strange peaks from afar. There is only a long and narrow platform that stretches towards the east at the end. The platform breaks into two peaks. The crack is about 100 meters deep. The two peaks are less than 1 meter apart. The divided stone peak is about 10 meters long and about 2 meters wide. It is an excellent viewing platform, but at this step, the bold ones are as walking on flat ground, and they need to step forward; the timid ones are trembling with fear and never dare to cross the thunder pool. There is only one step between cliffs-or life and death, only one step apart.

"Whoever knows the face of the Son of Heaven will not look at the mountains in the world when he returns. "This Penglai Wonderland is ethereal and vague, and the heartbeat at the first time is deeply engraved in my heart and cannot be expressed in words.

While we were still deeply immersed in this fairyland on earth, Ah Yongge reminded us not to miss the good weather. So, we reluctantly left Tianzi Mountain and headed for Yuanjiajie. Finding the right guide is really important for a pleasant trip, but fortunately we found it. A Yongge took us to the best viewing platform for a long-distance view of Tiansheng Bridge-Wangtai Bridge. This is an observation deck that few tourists visit. Passing through the stone path in the forest, you will arrive at a cliff edge. Looking from afar, you will have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the Yuan family. The Tiansheng Bridge, which is more than 50 meters long, seems to be only four to five centimeters long here, while the "Tianyidun" in the distance is even more imposing. After looking from a distance, you will see closely.

Follow him and learn. When he was inaccurate, the Oppa and Opbasan in the row behind him corrected him together. After two times, I could count from one to five. They all gave me thumbs up. One of the oppa was still gesticulating around his head. I think he was praising me for being smart. Strangely, the dissatisfaction that I had just felt congested has completely disappeared when I was surrounded by them. Unfortunately, I forgot everything they taught me when I woke up the next day, but I still remember the excitement on both sides when they taught me.

Before coming to Zhangjiajie, I heard this advertising slogan,"Pandora is far away, Zhangjiajie is near." "This was created when the famous Zhangjiajie landscape" Qiankun Pillar "was officially renamed" Hallelujah Mountain ". Is the suspended mountain "Hallelujah Mountain" in the movie "Avatar" really in Zhangjiajie? It is precisely because of "Avatar" that I want to take a closer look at the resounding "Qiankun Pillar". The "Qiankun Pillar" in front of me is shrouded in clouds and beautiful, and the mountains seem to be floating in the air...

Further on, we have arrived at the most valuable attraction in Zhangjiajie-the "Hundred Yuan Bill". There is a large stone peak in front of us, which looks like four faces, just like the old Chinese 100-yuan coin...

This is a magical day. While witnessing the wonder of nature, it also accepts the baptism of soul!

Shili gallery

On the fourth day, which was also the last day in Zhangjiajie, I packed my luggage and checked it to the city. After breakfast, I took the bus to Yuanjiazhai and transferred to the bus, preparing to take the Hundred Dragons Ladder, which was named "the world's tallest, fastest and largest load elevator" and was recorded in the Genis World Record. The elevator is majestic and has complex craftsmanship. The vertical height difference is 335 meters, the running height is 326 meters, the running time is 1 minute and 58 seconds, and the carrying capacity reaches 4000 passengers per hour. I mentioned the benefits of traveling in the opposite direction when traveling before, but now I really get the gist. In addition to the special bus from Yuanjiazhai to the Bailong Stairway, I am even more fortunate to be able to take the Bailong Stairway down the mountain. Looking at the crowded elevator going up the mountain opposite, I feel a little gloating, not to mention the long queues at the foot of the mountain waiting to take the elevator up the mountain. While secretly rejoicing in his heart, his eyes were also attracted by the "Divine Soldiers Gathering" outside the glass.

A few days ago, I looked down on the Wulingyuan Scenic Area, but from now on, I will lift my neck and look up. Perhaps it was aesthetic fatigue, but there was not much joy when I came down the mountain to see a different angle. In Brother Ayong's words: "Looking at a big stone from a distance, looking at a close distance, the stone is big. "As soon as we arrived at Shuiaosimen, it began to rain lightly, so the interest in traveling was instantly reduced, and we had to visit the Zhangjiajie Geological Museum. The introduction of the formation of Zhangjiajie landform aroused our great interest. It turns out that Zhangjiajie's quartz sandstone peak forest landform is the only place found around the world. Once the "Zhangjiajie Landform" is established in the international community, it will constitute the triple heritage identity of Zhangjiajie's scientific value, aesthetic value and ecological value.

After leaving the Geological Museum, we came to the Jinbian River, a scenic spot in Zhangjiajie. The stream flows between the peaks and valleys, with ups and downs. The strange peaks and rocks along the stream are jagged, and the fragrant grass is delicious. Walking along the stream, it feels like entering the path where Wuling fishermen mistakenly entered the Peach Blossom Garden and getting lost in the drizzling road scattered in time and space. Mountains turn with water, water turn with people, people turn with roads, and roads turn with mountains. There are many tourist cities, so you can walk among them with an umbrella and forget yourself.

Shili gallery

The Shili Gallery is about five kilometers long, with lush forests on both sides, strange peaks and rocks, and a variety of shapes. It is a magnified landscape bonsai. As early as the Ming Dynasty, some people wrote such good sentences as "People traveling in the mountains and gorges are like drawing pictures." Nature, a master sculptor, created rare treasures in the Shili Gallery with the magic power of Ghost Axe. It is a world of art, fairy tales and mystery, which is amazing for Chinese and foreign tourists. As we arrived here, the rain gradually intensified, as if to wash away the dust from all tourists so as not to pollute this pure land. The small train moved slowly, and there were still tourists walking and watching the scenery regardless of the rain along the way. In fact, that's what I envy. If it weren't for the large number of people accompanying me, I would definitely be willing to walk. Even if I was soaked, I would still be happy. Of course, taking a small train also has advantages. You don't have to worry about the rain, just enjoy the moving ink painting with all your strength. Walking in the Shili Gallery is like walking in a painting scroll and moving across a scene. Sightseeing trains shuttle back and forth in the picture scroll, and brightly dressed tourists accompany the mountains and fields on the paths, giving Shili Gallery a fairytale romance.

food

We ate many delicious food for the past four days. It was not until the last day that we were satisfied with a restaurant next to Wulingyuan Bus Station. The service was good, the environment was good, the food was delicious, the amount was sufficient, and the price was affordable. I really recommend the food of this restaurant!

written in the end

The four-day journey was over. We looked back lovingly through the window of the coach, reliving the dreamy Tianmen Mountain, the magical Tianzi Mountain, the romantic Shili Gallery, and the beautiful Jinbian River... Although this is not the whole scenery of Zhangjiajie, I think that the mountains and rivers will also remember the rain yesterday and the shine today. While praising it, let me use some superficial words to write down a trace in this memory!
