The artist who kept climbing from one peak to another with a drawing board on his back then painted the beautiful works of Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie here, and also expressed admiration that people raised in the boudoir did not know. At this point, the rare landform on this planet has gradually become known to people, and countless politicians and celebrities have praised it.

When the eye personally witnesses this scenery, what kind of emotion does it bring to people? I really can't express it clearly in words. This is the original intention of writing this travel note.

Wulingyuan is a World Geopark and included in the Heritage List. Wulingyuan Scenic Area is the core scenic spot of Zhangjiajie. In addition to these two famous names, Wulingyuan has many honors. Wulingyuan is the first identified national forest park, the first batch of sub-national 5a-level tourist attractions, and a key scenic spot determined by the State Council. Next, we walked into Zhangjiajie and Wulingyuan together.

Choice of clothes in changing weather in Wulingyuan

There's nothing to say. Wear a jacket for travel to keep warm and waterproof.

Of course, girls definitely need to take some good photos when they go out. They can bring two more sets of beautiful clothes, which are convenient to change and take pictures with them. It is best to find a set of Miao clothes to bring with them to save them from renting them at tourist attractions, which are very expensive. But it is best to bring a warm coat no matter the four seasons, because the temperature difference between morning and evening is really large, so you should be prepared for any trouble. There are also umbrellas and dry food in sunny days, and rain gear must not be forgotten. The weather in the mountains changes too fast. Prepare a pair of comfortable flat shoes. If you travel in spring and autumn and winter, it is best to prepare a pair of disposable rain boots. In summer, just sandals will be enough.

As for the various cards that are always emphasized. Our country has entered a new era. In addition to ID cards, we only need to keep our mobile phones powered. It's so convenient.

Climbing the mountain consumes physical energy. I bring a few Snickers bars, chocolates or beef jerky. If I were you, I would bring them all to replenish energy and satisfy my cravings, because the things made by the small vendors on the road are quite fragrant, but it is a little more expensive.

Wulingyuan Accommodation

I saw the Listening Ya 'anju Characteristic Inn recommended by everyone, so I booked it online. The room was very good, clean and tidy, and quite large. It was only two kilometers away from the scenic area. There was a bus at the door. It was quite convenient to travel. It was really great to stay in an inn with such a good location and such a good environment for 120 yuan!

Walking into Wulingyuan, the core scenic spot of Zhangjiajie

Enlarged bonsai, reduced fairyland. This is the sincere admiration of tourists for this beautiful scenery. As the core scenic spot of Zhangjiajie, Wulingyuan Scenic Area consists of four major scenic spots: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Tianzi Mountain, Suoxiyu and Yangjiajie. It is a cluster large-scale scenic spot. How big is it? In terms of tickets, Wulingyuan tickets are valid for 4 days for a total of 228 yuan. The innkeeper only booked 208 yuan, and the average cost is only 50 yuan per day. Tickets are cards similar to bank cards and can be retained permanently. They are of great commemorative significance. Each card corresponds to a personal fingerprint. A scenic spot for 4 days is not a small area, right?

Wulingyuan Scenic Area has a total area of 398 square kilometers. It belongs to a sandstone peak forest landform and is famous for its peaks, valleys, waters, forests and caves. The mountains and rivers are majestic, strange and strange, ethereal and beautiful, and unpredictable. The special geology constitutes a rare landform wonder in the world. The large-scale, magical and spectacular Wulingyuan quartz sandstone peak forest landscape can be called the "Memorial Hall of the Earth", which makes the world amazed. This unique landform was also named "Zhangjiajie Landform" by the International Geological Academic Organization

The sky was still cloudy, much better than when I first arrived yesterday. It was still a day without rain. Sitting on the bus heading to the Zimugang ticket station, I couldn't help but feel a little excited when I was about to enter the most amazing mountain in the world, which was originally known as Chinese landscape painting.

The autumn wind in the morning was truly bleak. Before I could open the car door, the wind rushed into my collar and cuffs and crawled in hard. The Zimugang Ticket Station is located on the mountainside. There are a large number of tourists waiting to catch a bus to the next stop in the scenic area's eco-vehicle parking lot. No one does not want to find a place to hide and avoid the bleak autumn wind.

After changing to an eco-friendly vehicle at Shuifeng Simen, you will arrive at the Bailong Ladder with a height of 335 meters. This is a super project. Because of the emergence of the Hundred Dragons Ladder, Yuanjiajie and Jinbianxi are closely linked. The Hundred Dragons Ladder won the Gillies World Record with its vertical distance and running speed of 3 meters per second, and ranks among many in the world. Creative Award.

The beautiful name of Zhangjiajie and the beautiful scenery of Yuanjia are the sighs of almost every tourist. Yuanjiajie consists of thick and tall stone peaks, lush green trees, ravines thousands of feet deep, and mountains surrounded by clouds and fog form the most distinctive and charming picture of Zhangjiajie.

In the past, tourists went to Yuanjiajie purely on foot and walked up the mountain. Nowadays, the journey through the sky has become easy and fast in the face of high technology. The feeling of riding the elevator is very wonderful. It is so smooth that you can't feel the elevator's movement. Only the height change from bottom to top in front of the glass window reminds you that the elevator is really running. In the transparent sedan box of the Hundred Dragons Ladder, with a rising speed of 3 meters per second, you can climb the Yuan Family Realm Immortal World in just 116 seconds. It made all the immortals on the mountain stare, thinking, you are the immortals...

After getting out of the elevator, the scenery in front of me was unique. On top of these mountains, there is actually a rare piece of flat land on the top of the mountain. There are still a small number of Tujia people living in this peerless landscape. They have cultivated and lived on this air platform known as the "Sky Pastoral" for generations., reproduce and live. There are three or two huts, more than a dozen fields, and smoke curling up against the green slopes, like a paradise.

The floating mountain is a particularly worth seeing, and the landform here will make you marvel. You can also see here the "Southern Sky Pillar", renamed Hallelujah Mountain because of the movie "Avatar". A large number of prototypes in the "Planet Pandora" in the Hollywood blockbuster "Avatar" come from the mountains of Zhangjiajie. Among them,"Hallelujah Mountain" is the prototype of suspended mountains.

The mountain peaks stand straight into the sky, which is where we are talking. Looking far into the distance, you can see mountains and mountains, and looking down into the abyss. The scenery from all angles, far, near, high and low, has different scenery that is so beautiful that it is suffocating. As the name suggests, the scenery here must be very beautiful, otherwise how can it be fascinating?

The first bridge in the world is the essence of Wulingyuan scenic spot. Created by the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature, a natural stone slab about 5 meters thick is placed across the sky on two peaks to connect the east and west peaks. The height, span and thrillness are all rare in the world, hence the name.

In fact, it doesn't feel very dangerous to walk. You have to believe that nature's magical craftsmanship will exceed your imagination. All you have to do is accept the shock and appreciate it. Respect nature!

The handrail at the bridge head is full of concentric locks. My friend told me that if I have a partner, I must bring it here to buy a lock, carve each other's names on it and lock it here, and then throw the key off the Tiansheng Bridge. I heard that it can be together forever, holding my son's hand and growing old together, raising the table and eyebrows together.

The weather in the mountains is cloudy and cloudy. When we arrived at Yangjiajie, the weather became even more gloomy. The two things that attract me most in this place are Wulong Village and the Natural Great Wall. They are also two attractions that are widely spread on the Internet.

Tianbo Prefecture and Wulong Village are not connected. There was originally no way to go from Wulong Village to Tianbo Prefecture. The connection was a suspension bridge between two mountain peaks. The bridge is nearly two meters wide and twenty to thirty meters long. Crossing the suspension bridge, there are also suspended iron ladders. By visual inspection, it is basically a 90-degree right angle. Only by climbing the iron ladder can you reach the top of Tianbo Mansion. Since I dedicated my courage to the hospital, I have always been afraid of heights. What I am most afraid of is this trembling, swaying and soft suspension bridge. When I reached the bridge, my legs trembled, and I felt a nameless attraction pulling me down into the abyss.

Behind Wulong Village, there are broken walls and deep cliffs on all sides. Not far away, there is a lonely rock standing tall in the mountains. This is the legendary treasure house-Tianbo Prefecture. Before coming here, I thought that since it was called a mansion, it should be a big house, at least a house. But when I really arrived here, I realized that the so-called Tianbo Prefecture is just a mountain peak, completely different from what I imagined. Why do you choose that name? It is said that the Yang family moved a branch of their descendants here, so this part of the scenic spot is called Yangjiajie. Tianbo Prefecture named it after a command post built here after twelve widows to quell the Wuling Man rebellion.

There is a platform on the top of the mountain peak of Tianbo Prefecture in Yangjiajie, surrounded by dozens of cliffs. The scene is grand and looks like a broken wall from a distance. Locals believe that this is the site of the Yang family's general "Tianbo Prefecture". It is located in the Yangjiajie Scenic Area, near Wulong Village. It is suitable for taking photos and is one of the best shooting locations in Zhangjiajie. Most tourists walk to Tianbo Prefecture after climbing Wulong Village. On the way, they have to climb an iron escalator with a height of nearly 90 degrees. It is very steep. However, there are iron rings around the escalator, which can be said to be dangerous.

Tianbo Prefecture can admire the four naturally formed stone walls, lined up in rows and rows, like battle teams and private soldiers. They are cut and erected like city walls. They are spectacular and beautiful, open and open, with strange peaks and rocks, and beautiful scenery. Because the local people firmly believed that the Yang family generals had fought here, some of the mountain names in the Yang family realm were all place names chosen by descendants of the Yang family generals to commemorate the Yang family generals, and were uniformly called Liulang Peak.

The Yangjiajie Natural Great Wall is next to the cableway station in the Yangjiajie Scenic Area, and it only takes five minutes to walk between the two. Standing on the observation deck and looking out, this is a rolling peak wall, with thousands of mountains and valleys, and layers of peaks, standing in parallel, with uneven heights and heights. It is beautiful and magnificent, like the Great Wall of Thousands of Miles. Tourists around them continue to exclaim and admire the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature. I was stunned and quickly took out my camera and took pictures of this world wonder. It was so beautiful.

After viewing the Natural Great Wall, we returned to the Yangjiajie Cableway Station and took the cable car down the mountain to Jinbian River. In the afternoon, we made it so reasonable.

In the cable car down the mountain, I saw some tenacious plants growing on the opposite cliff. The trees on the cliffs all grow on the top of the mountain or at the foot of the mountain. Almost no plants can be found in the middle of the mountain. Only angular rocks are left on the bare cliffs, which are like knives, standing there, looking vicissitudes and perseverance. Occasionally, a few plants grow from the rocky wall without nutrients, which can make climbers cry. When I passed by these tenacious lives with a sightseeing mentality, I hoped more that I could survive in the face of difficulties in the future.

The road down the mountain was not as easy as imagined. After changing eco-friendly vehicles twice, we also walked a section of the boardwalk before we reached the entrance of Jinbian Creek. Due to its earliest development, Jinbian River is the most famous and important part of the forest park. Jinbian Creek is also known as the Jinbian Grand Canyon."People walk in the canyon and the mountains pass on both sides." There are beautiful scenery on both sides of the canyon.

The two ends of Jinbianxi Grand Canyon Jinbianxi River are the Zhangjiajie Forest Park Ticket Station and the Shuihuan Four Gates respectively. The total walking distance is about 7.5 kilometers. There are many attractions along the way: Jinbianyan, Splitting Mountains to Save Mother, Changshou Spring and Thousand Miles Meeting, etc. Here I am walking, feeling the beauty of nature, and enjoying the rare fresh air. There are many places to sit along the way, stopping and stopping, doing whatever I want, which is refreshing...

Because when we came in the morning, we walked through the water around the four doors and then up the Hundred Dragons Stairway, we didn't plan to complete this Jinbian River. After feeling the gurgling and tranquility of thousands of rivers, I began my return journey. On the way out of the Forest Park, I also found a small but beautiful scenery upstream of the exit of the Jinbian River. The downward flowing stream water created a small pool here, and the fish in the pool swam freely. It was probably a little tiring from the day's journey, but my friends just quietly took photos without expressing anything in words. Walking to the entrance of the Forest Park, I ran to the parking lot without even taking pictures of Wu Guanzhong's statue. I was really tired today.

When I returned to Wulingyuan in the evening, I had a delicious meal at the popular gourmet restaurant next to Wulingyuan Bus Station. It was really comfortable. I haven't had such comfortable food for a long time. It tasted good. This was a restaurant recommended by many travelers. It seems that the masses have sharp eyes and believe that the public is absolutely good. The service is very enthusiastic. The boss does know how to do business and is really obedient to the customers. In addition, the chef's cooking skills are outstanding. There is a reason why the business is really good. The only recommended specialty restaurant in Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie!

The second day of the semi-hiking trip

The eco-friendly vehicle at the Wujiayu Sign Gate Ticket Station reached the starting point of the hike after running for a few minutes. After getting off at Sansuo Fire Station, today's semi-hiking tour began. I personally like mountain climbing. Generally speaking, I still choose to climb up the mountain when I go hiking. It is more appropriate to take transportation down the mountain. As the saying goes,"It's easier to go up the mountain than to go down the mountain" is very correct.

I didn't carry much photography equipment because it rained, so the process of climbing the mountain was easy. As soon as I started the hiking journey, the forest of Wujiayu used a small stream and a single bridge to welcome me, a traveler. The autumn rain smeared the leaves in the forest oily and shining brightly. The stream also grinds the stones that have flowed through it for a long time, and a single bridge is crossing the stream. Is this scene a vague picture in my mind? Is this picture gradually becoming clearer and clearer? All Chinese people should have such a picture. "The road turned to the creek bridge and suddenly saw me", this is the picture I can think of. Are Chinese scenery different from foreign scenery? No, they are all natural landscapes. However, the breadth and depth of Chinese culture are passed down in this land called China. The idea of modesty and light is found in every Chinese landscape painting and in every ancient poem. Looking at this scene, I feel that I am not satisfied with being a photographer, but the delusion of wanting to be a romantic poetis rampant.

On the way, I encountered scenic spots such as Echo Wall, Nantianmen Gate, and Yueya. The most noteworthy thing is the Nantian Gate. It is a strange thing on the way up the mountain. Its appearance gives climbers a reason to rest. Wulingyuan, the core scenic spot of Zhangjiajie, is full of stone pillars and stone peaks that have not been carved by any hand. Nantian Gate is one of them. There was a square stone wall, and an open original door was naturally formed in the middle like an artifact created by heaven. Depending on all scenic spots, some fantasy stories will be circulated, and Nantianmen is no exception.

The Nantian Gate is one of the four great gates of Tianzi Mountain. Legend has it that it was the place where "three arrows shook the court" to the king. It is said that on the eve of the uprising, Xiang Dakun suddenly received orders to enter Beijing and narrowly encountered an accident in the Luoyang Palace. After escaping from danger, he vowed to kill the emperor to avenge the incident. After three years of hard training in Tianzi Mountain, he was able to use chopsticks to pick swimming fish, throw stone lions weighing hundreds of kilograms into the air, catch running goats within a hundred steps, and shoot skylarks in the eyes of... One night, a white-bearded old man in Yunwu Mountain dreamed to him that 49 days later, three heavenly gates would be opened side by side in the south of the mountain, and one arrow would be fired from each gate to avenge the court.

36 days later, two Tianmen had been formed on the south side of the mountain. His sister-in-law was eager to avenge her husband's murder and tried her best to persuade Emperor Xiang to raise the incident early. King Xiang finally lost his composure, so he took advantage of the emperor's court in the early morning of the 37th day to come to Nantian Gate to fire arrows. The first arrow shot off a corner of the dragon table, the second arrow penetrated through the second door and hit the dragon pillar behind the emperor, and the third arrow shot out from the second door and hit the emperor's dragon crown. The emperor's face turned ashen and he hurriedly crawled under the table, shouting to catch the assassin. Someone pulled out the tendon from the dragon crown and found that it was engraved with the words "Xiang Dakun". This angered the court and attracted the army of the southern expedition. The uprising failed miserably. Today, the two gates at the Nantian Gate are still very square and majestic. A stone peak under the door seemed to be firing an arrow at Dakun, which became more realistic when clouds and mist surged through the door.

The rain at the foot of the mountain turned into fog when it reached the top of the mountain, and the fog spread through the forest. I stretched out my hand. Fortunately, my five fingers were still clear. Although it was not as dark as the night, I couldn't lift my eyes and look around. It was difficult to see the people around me clearly, and the feeling of uneasiness filled my heart like a fog in the forest. Yueliangya is the fork of Nantianmen Gate, Shili Gallery, and Tianzi Mountain. Standing in the small courtyard of the pass. The surrounding trees were so dense that it made people even more suffocating, so they continued to climb up without stopping.

Walking through the secret forest, the Tianzi Pavilion on Tianzi Mountain has already appeared in front of you. This is a building similar to a sign door, but can also be understood as a reduced version of the sign door. Tourists can visit it. The current Tianzi Pavilion is almost a folk exhibition hall about Xiangxi, and it is still worth a visit. There were elderly photographers on the top floor. A stalagmite called Yubi Peak emerged in the thick fog. Suddenly, the camera's reflector made a rapid sound. I could hear what brand and model it was without even looking. Looking at the actions of all my seniors, I raised my camera and shot long shots without hesitation. Put away the camera and take a look, good guy! Yubi Peak was shyly hidden in the white gauze tent again.

It is located in the deep valley 80 meters west of Tianzi Pavilion. There are six stone pillars in a row, each about 100 meters high, square as if cut, standing side by side at the top, connected in uneven shapes, and thin at the top and thick at the bottom, shaped like a pen holder. It is said to be the pen used by King Xiang. The surrounding peaks are in a circular shape, embracing each other. The front and left are empty, surrounded by green trees. Behind them, thousands of peaks gradually receded in the mist. However, the position of the Yubi Peak cluster is too high, and the lines and corners are clearly visible, making it even more abrupt and high. In particular, the pillars are slender, as if they are man-made, with tearing marks that depend on each other in turn, and there are several pine trees standing proudly among them, which are extremely handsome.

After eating and resting at the top of the mountain, I found that the fog seemed to have no intention of fading. There is no way that the weather is God's will. Keep walking. Fortunately, you saw some scenery yesterday, and then pray for yourself. So in the fog, we visited Helong Park, Dianjiangtai and Shentang Bay.

There is a small platform at the end of Shentang Bay. The platform is independent of pine trees, the crown is green like a fan, the tree trunk stands obliquely, and the posture is leisurely and elegant, like a bonsai. It is said that after Wang Xiang's uprising was defeated, he jumped into the canyon and died here. The soldiers who followed him all jumped off the ancient bell. Every time there is heavy rain, the valley is filled with smoke, and the sound of water and rocks hitting is faint, as if gongs and drums are being knocked, or people are shouting horses.

I think if I walked up from under the Tianzi Mountain cableway, I would definitely have another extraordinary feeling, because the rain and fog weather that day formed a misty and misty scene. The origin of the name of Tianzi Mountain is because the uprising Emperor Xiang served as the residence. The place where Emperor Xiang stayed was naturally also called Tianzi Mountain. As the peak of Wulingyuan in the core area of Zhangjiajie, there has always been a sense of mystery like the plot of fantasy novels. Going up the mountain with the imagination given by idealism has the flavor of searching for an inscrutable immortal who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, but going down the mountain is like saying goodbye, leaving. Because of this rain, I didn't enjoy many bright scenery. This kind of departure was more of a regret with some sad emotions. Fortunately, this emotion was comforted by the various stalagmites that broke out of the long fog and displayed in front of me, and my eyes jumped on every stalagmite again. High, low, big, small, not only affect the eyes but also the mood. The speckled raindrops on the cable car make people quickly follow the scenery. The ridges are lined up, and the clouds and mist are closely following the ridges. The clouds and mist are locked on the ridge. This pair of lovers is truly enviable. They envy their unswerving love and their companionship. This is what good love should be, relying on each other but supporting each other. Good love is still like this, achieving each other.

It was late to arrive at Shili Gallery, but fortunately I could still visit it. The small train was waiting for tourists at the entrance of the attraction. The Shili Gallery in the entire Suoxiyu Scenic Area is the essence of tourism in the scenic area. On both sides of this ten-mile-long valley, there are rich natural landscapes, and the walking is like a painting.

Shili Gallery Shili Gallery is about five kilometers long. It has lush forests on both sides and fragrant reeds. Like the Jinbian River, there are many strange peaks and rocks that give people countless imagination spaces. Although these beautiful mountain views have been crowned with artistic names such as "Three Sisters Peak","Herb Picking Old Man","Index Finger Peak","Longevity Star Greets","Tiangou Eating the Moon", the biggest feature is the small trains passing by. Go and go on a small train. There is a radio explanation on the train. The explanation can be synchronized with every stalagmite to ensure that what you see and hear is what you see. It is also interesting to listen to the explanation and you can quickly understand the scenic spots.

If I really used words to end Shuimu Xiaoxiang, I would write: that mountain, that person, that dog, that dish.
