Let's go to Tianzi Mountain.

Tianzi Mountain is one of the four major scenic spots in Wulingyuan. It starts from Tianzi Pavilion in the east, reaches Jiangjun Rock in the west, and connects Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in the south. It stretches for nearly 40 kilometers and has a total area of nearly 100 square kilometers. The highest point is Tianzi Peak at an altitude of 1,262.5 meters and the lowest altitude is 534 meters.

Tianzi Mountain is a mesa landform with a high middle and low four sides. Therefore, it has a wide view, long perspective lines, clear layers and powerful momentum. The view of Tianzi Mountain is different from that of Huangshi Village and Jinbianxi. When visiting Huangshi Village, tourists sit opposite the peaks and look straight at the peaks; when visiting Jinbian River, you are looking up at the peaks towering on both sides of the stream "in a drawing"; while on Tianzi Mountain, you can overlook the world, and you will have the infinite pride of "I am alone without mountains on the mountain."

In the Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area, there are many places named around the word "Tianzi": Tianzi Peak, Tianzi Cave, Tianzi Courtyard, Tianzi Weir, Tianzi Temple, Tianzi Island, etc. In fact, this place was called Qingyan Mountain together with Zhangjiajie before the Ming Dynasty, and it was named because of the bluestone trees. 1353 (13th year of the Yuan Dynasty) Xiang Dakun, leader of the Tujia nationality. At the invitation of Li Boru, a scholar who lived in seclusion in Huanglongquan Cave at the foot of Qingyan Mountain, he led his family members to "Qingyan Mountain". After Dakun went up the mountain, with the assistance of Li Boru, he rose to the throne. Build the country's integrity and arrogate the title of king. It is called "To the King of Heaven". Because he could represent the interests of the people of all ethnic groups, mainly Tujia, and was loved and supported by the people of all ethnic groups, he established a mountain fortress with "Tianzi Mountain" as the axis.

In 1385 (the 18th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty), Taizu ordered Zhen, the king of Chu, to lead Tang He, the general of the southern expedition, and Tong Deguang, his deputy general, to lead more than 10,000 elite soldiers to attack them in five directions. After more than 40 days of bloody fighting, the rebels were finally outnumbered. After successive defeats, Xiang Dakun, who arrogantly claimed to be the "Son of Heaven" for 32 years, died under the cliff of Shentang Bay. After that, local people of all ethnic groups commemorated him in memory. Where he fought and lived during his lifetime. They are all named after the "Son of Heaven".

The Qing Dynasty adopted various repressive measures. Forge the abolition of the word "Tianzi". However, the Tujia people have always called it "Tianzi Mountain".

The scenery of Tianzi Mountain is charming, and there are endless stories to be seen and told here. No wonder some people evaluate Tianzi Mountain as "who can recognize the face of the emperor and return without looking at the mountains in the world."

We first came to Helong Park. The park was built on Yunqing Rock on the east side of the Shijia eaves. It was built in 1985 and was completed in 1986. Helong Park is the only large-scale cultural landscape in the entire Wulingyuan, covering an area of about 3 hectares. It is condescending here, looking around, and the scenery is excellent. Entering the park, the first thing that catches people's eye is the bronze statue of He Long. It is 6.5 meters high and weighs more than 9 tons including the war horse. It is the largest and heaviest bronze statue among the great men of China in the past 100 years. It was designed by the famous Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts Professor Pan He, a famous sculptor, and cast and installed by the Foshan Ductile Iron Research Institute in Guangdong. The entire bronze statue looks like a towering Wuling Peak.

From Helong Park, you can see the "Tianzi Pavilion" from afar.

Walking down the steps of Helong Park, I saw a cave. It is said that this is the path taken by the "Xiangzi King" uprising back then (I can't remember clearly, I don't know if this explanation is correct).

Then 50 meters straight down on the left side, there is a viewing platform with a wide view. It was named Yunqingyan Observation Platform because of He Long's name "Yunqing".

There are many peak forests around. This is the place where the stone pillars in the peak forest of Tianzi Mountain are most concentrated. Because it is located in the westernmost section of the core scenic area, it is called the "Xihai Peak Forest".

The "West Sea" is a veritable sea of mountains, with thousands of mountain peaks showing in the eyes like wind and clouds, row upon row, majestic and spectacular.

This can't help but remind people of "Inscription on the Wall of Xilin Temple" by Su Shi, a famous poet in the Song Dynasty: "Looking across the ridge, there are peaks on the sides of the ridge, with different heights and heights. I don't know the true appearance of Lushan Mountain, but I just want to be in this mountain."

About 500 meters back from "Shentang Bay" is the famous "Dianjiang Platform". It is said that King Xiang once trained here with the three armies of horse, infantry and water. He stepped on the stage and gave orders. How majestic it was! Please observe the stone peaks at the foot of the mountain carefully. At first glance, they are chaotic, but at second glance, they are in order. They are all majestic, energetic, majestic, neat and serious. Aren't they just like soldiers about to go on war?

There are several connected peaks about 50 meters away on the left side of the observation deck. There are always 5 stone peaks in detail, hence the name "Five Fingers Peak". At the top of the highest stone peak among the five stone peaks, there is a rectangular stone across the stone peak, and a pine tree grows on the stone peak. The entire shape will remind people of a model of a ship that is slowly sailing towards the vast West Sea, so it is called a "stone ship going out to sea". Legend has it that this is a pleasure boat that the emperor used to travel in the Divine Realm.

We look at "stone boats going out to sea" from different angles and sides.

If you still can't see it clearly, let's give you a few zoomed in pictures, and you should see it clearly this time.

Put a few other landscapes. I can't tell what they're called, as long as they look good.

After seeing "Xihai Peak Forest", we traveled a long way to have lunch. There is also McDonald's on top of Tianzi Mountain. It is said to be the highest McDonald's in China.

Tianzi Pavilion is located on the terrace 200 meters east of Helong Park. It is a famous scenic spot on Tianzi Mountain in Zhangjiajie and a man-made building. From Tianzi Pavilion, you can overlook the panoramic view of Tianzi Mountain. The scene is very spectacular. Tianzi Pavilion is 30 meters high and is a six-story antique building with four eaves and a head-through. Stone carvings, catalpa wood doors and windows, and golden glazed tile roofs. Climb the pavilion and look into the distance. You will face the deep on three sides and have a panoramic view of the peaks and mountains far and near.

The three words "Tianzi Pavilion" were inscribed by Guan Shanyue. "Tianzi Pavilion Fu" was written by Mr. Jin Kejian, a famous local writer in Zhangjiajie. The full text is fluent in language, parallel and scattered, and also has the strengths of describing scenes and lyrical reasoning. The article "Climb the pavilion and lean on the railing, and hold the wine in the wind. Eyes close to the vast expanse of six directions, and roll the curtain to a beautiful scroll. Wrap the clear stream to make a belt, and decorate it with flowers and fruits to make a bracelet. Don't you see that three thousand strange peaks are chopping in chaos, and eight hundred beautiful rivers are breaking through rivers. Although the Lord of Heaven is unique, the standards of creation are new." It reminds you of the famous line in Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower","Hold the distant mountains, swallow the Yangtze River, and stretch across the boundless horizon; the morning sun shines in the evening, and the atmosphere is myriad"...

For some unknown reason, such a literary "Fu to the Emperor's Pavilion" is dilapidated! A few calligraphy strokes are not as good as what we saw in Hunan before, which is a bit incomprehensible.

We had lunch in the restaurant on the first floor of Tianzi Pavilion and continued to admire the beautiful stone peaks.

We came to the "Yubi Peak" attraction.

There are dozens of well-arranged beautiful peaks protruding in the valley, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, shaped like penshafts, standing side by side like chipped pieces, and connected in staggered ways. This is the "Yubi Peak", one of the "Top Ten Unique Scenes" of Wulingyuan. The peak is more than 100 meters high, and several peaks are staggered side by side. It is said that after King Xiang was defeated, he burned all the manuscripts. When he saw these royal pens, he remembered that he had used them to review official documents and command thousands of troops. Now that his success was almost defeated, how could he face his hometown elders? So he angrily threw several royal pens into the valley. However, the pen has spiritual energy and falls to the ground to form a peak, forming the "Royal Brush Peak".

In 1994, the "Wulingyuan" stamps and first day covers issued by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, the "Zhangjiajie International Forest Protection Festival" and "Zhangjiajie 'Crossing the Sky Gate' International Flying Grand Prix" commemorative covers issued in 1999, and the commemorative covers issued in 2000 and the Wulingyuan ticket patterns are all set against Yubi Peak.

Yubi Peak is recognized as a landmark scenic spot in the Wulingyuan sandstone peak forest and is a unique sight in the world. Originally, this was a masterful pen made by nature. Scientifically speaking, it was the result of weathering, erosion and cutting over time. However, the people associated it with Emperor Xiang. They said that after Emperor Xiang died, his royal pen turned into a stone peak and stayed together beside Shentang Bay; while the "stick tube" and "pen holder" holding the royal pen remained in the water around the four gates.

The rise and fall of the ages, and the times have changed."There are many things in ancient and modern times that are laughed lightly." Only this "royal pen" is still in the eyes of the poet, so he can use it to write about the drizzling fog, the colorful clouds, the warm morning glow as fire, the dreamy pure moonlight, and the "the high places are not cold". The ice and snow world.

A poet described the divine charm of Yubi Peak:

"Look at the clouds and clouds in the West Sea, and the end of Yubi Peak points to the sky. The strange peaks and strange stones viewing platform, the three mountains and five mountains are defeated."

diagonally opposite "Yubi Peak", there is also a "fairy laying flowers" place. We see that there are three peaks directly ahead. One of the peaks looks like a girl on the side, holding a flower basket in her hand, standing facing east, with delicate eyebrows, clear lines, and a delicate figure. The pine trees on the peak are like decorations on a girl's head. The whole shape is beautiful and realistic and charming.

There is a tragic legend about "Fairy laying flowers" that goes away. Emperor Xiang was defeated by the government army, so he had to lead his remnant troops to retreat to Tianzi Mountain. One hundred thousand officers and soldiers chased closely. Eight hundred soldiers fought in a bloody battle for seven days and seven nights, and finally ran out of ammunition and food. Not willing to be captured and humiliated, Emperor Xiang and his soldiers would rather die than surrender and jump into Shentang Bay. After a while, a Tujia sister who once loved Emperor Xiang deeply climbed the mountains and climbed the Tianzi Mountain to find the bones of Emperor Xiang and his soldiers. Amei swallowed her tears, held a bamboo basket, and collected mountain flowers from all over the mountains and fields. She called the name of King Xiang and sprinkled flowers everywhere. She wanted to dedicate her love and heart to her beloved King Xiang, and just like this. Ah, ah, ah, over time, Amei was solidified into an image by the years. She still held a flower basket in her hand and was full of emotion...

Still not seeing clearly? One more. Did you see clearly this time? Even the girl's face has a nose and eyes!

The scenery along the cable car is also very good, except that there is blue on the cable car windows, which affects the shooting effect.

After finishing our tour of Tianzi Mountain, we left the scenic area from the main entrance of Tianzi Mountain,"Wulingyuan".

After playing, we returned to the Wulingyuan Ya 'anju Characteristic Inn. It was a very cost-effective inn. The environment was really good. It was very close to the scenic spot. It was only two kilometers away. There was a bus directly at the entrance. It was very convenient to travel. Moreover, we could stay there for 120 yuan. The innkeeper was very kind. She helped me introduce a lot of information about the scenic spot and gave us free maps of the scenic spot. She was so enthusiastic. It was rare to meet such a good business owner!

We went to the inn to rest for a while and asked the boss what delicious food was nearby. The boss said we should go to her restaurant to eat. We stayed for several days, but the boss didn't tell us that she had a restaurant. I guess he was too embarrassed to advertise. I really didn't expect that there were shops in the scenic area that didn't attract customers. We thought, the inn is so good, how bad can the restaurant be, so we decided to go to the boss's house to eat. Next to Wulingyuan Bus Station, I was really satisfied. The food was better than we had in the past few days. Moreover, the price is much more affordable. After meeting this restaurant, we eliminated our previous misunderstanding of Zhangjiajie's food. I really recommend it a few days ago!

A perfect day ends with a delicious meal like this, perfect
