Summer vacation is here, and I made an appointment with three good sisters to travel to Hunan together. In fact, I have always heard that the local customs and customs there are good, the atmosphere of ethnic minorities is strong, and the food is rich. I have always wanted to go. The summer vacation gives us plenty of time to go. So we prepared for two weeks, packed our luggage and set off with joy. Although I went last year, the trip was unforgettable. Hunan is really a beautiful and pure place. If you have not been there, you must go sometime. It is also a good choice to eat the snacks there! I hope this July, you can enjoy the beauty of Hunan like we did last July.

Yuelu Mountain, Changsha

In the morning, we set off at around six o'clock to take the bullet train to Changsha South.

After getting off the bus, we took a bus to Yuelu Mountain. Buses couldn't enter the road to Yuelu Mountain, so we walked there ourselves. You can see many small shops selling food along the way. You must definitely eat the stinky tofu here when you come here! So I chose the most popular one.

Go to Yuelu Mountain while eating stinky tofu. There is an archway. If you enter, you will be in the Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area. There is a road after you enter, just follow this road. At the end of the road, you can see the Aiwan Pavilion where "Parking and Sitting in Love Maple Forest Evening". Many tourists take photos here and enjoy the cool rest. We also took a lot of photos haha! There are many trees and birds on the road, and there are a lot of bird sounds. I feel very close to nature.

On the road to Yuelu Mountain, we found a lot of food and several shops selling stinky tofu. We saw many people going to this shop, so we also tried this shop and it felt good. Everyone can identify this one.

Many people come to eat stinky tofu here. It's very authentic

This is Aiwan Pavilion! Tourists are taking photos!

Almost all of the Aiwan Pavilion are filled with tourists, so you can't sit in the pavilion. If you want to rest, you can also choose to sit on a nearby stone to rest. There are many stones there, which is very comfortable.

There are many trees and birds on the road. This bird actually became the "little model" in our camera, haha!

I and three good sisters! Let's take a photo

The sun is still relatively strong in the afternoon, so remember to wear hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen clothes and apply sunscreen!

Zhangjiajie Forest Park

This is a ticket for Zhangjiajie. Students and elderly people have discounts!

Zhangjiajie is very big and requires many mountain roads, so remember to prepare comfortable shoes. There are many things selling drinks, food, and trinkets on the mountain, but the price is very expensive. A bottle of water costs more than ten yuan, so you must bring your own water before going up the mountain to avoid the trouble of buying water on the mountain.

Baofeng Lake

Furong town

On this day, we chose Furong Town. After getting up in the morning, I took an hour-long bus to Furong Town.

There is a large waterfall in Furong Town, known as the first waterfall, so many people come here to see this waterfall. This waterfall is very beautiful, and when you pass by him, you can touch his water with your hands. The water is very cold and clear.

Then walk along the road, there is only one road, so don't worry about getting lost! Keep walking and you will reach a residential area where people live. There are many small shops here selling ethnic jewelry, clothing, etc. If you like, you can stop and have a look. Personally, I think it is similar to the decorations on the Zhangjiajie Mountains, but it is definitely cheaper than the ones in Zhangjiajie.

Walking to an archway, you will see many people resting there, because there are food sellers there, just like the inns in the past, where they were all wooden houses.

After eating tofu, go straight along the road. Soon after we reached the exit, we left Furong Town.

Fenghuang ancient city

After visiting Furong Town for a day, we continued to take the bus to Fenghuang Ancient Town, planning to see the night view of the ancient town at night.

After six o'clock in the afternoon, I came to the hotel outside the ancient town, put down my luggage, and entered the ancient town. When you enter the ancient town at night, you can enter without a ticket, so don't be afraid of someone coming to check the ticket or anything, just go in boldly. Moreover, the ancient town experienced floods in the first half of 2014, and fewer tourists entered the ancient town. Therefore, the ancient town relaxed the restrictions on scenic spots, hoping to promote the development of tourism in the ancient town again. So you can come in and play safely at night.

The night in the ancient town is still good, and the lights and everything are beautiful. Colorful. At the water's edge, some people sell wishing lamps in many styles. We each buy one and place them on the water when we make a wish to let them float. I heard that the farther they float, the better, so we kept making them, hoping that they could float. A little.

The firewood food we had for dinner was super delicious!

After taking pictures for a long time, it was past 10 o'clock. It was time for us to leave, so we took off our clothes and paid for it. Then she will show you the photos she just took for us. If you think there is something you like, you can buy that photo, not necessarily all of it. Just choose what you like, or you can not buy it. Personally. We also picked out a few nice ones and bought them.

After buying it, we went back to the hotel to rest and end the day's trip.

I saw firewood delicacies recommended by many people on the Internet, so I walked there specifically. Although the location of the store is slightly away from the busiest core area, it does not affect the lively life of his home at all. There are many diners and many choices of dishes. The special firewood fish should be a must-try. The Wujiang fish I chose is very tender. Chai hot pot is very special. Several other stir-fried dishes are also cooked in place. As a tourist area, the taste and price here are very good and it is worth recommending.

The people who help you take photos, they definitely want to make money, so they will keep taking photos of you. Because they will help you hold the things in your hands, when you want to take pictures with your own mobile phone or camera, they will immediately ask you to look at their lenses or something, so that you will not have the opportunity to use your own camera or mobile phone to take pictures, so as tourists, we must be firm and make it clear that we want to take a selfie or something, so that they won't disturb you. They will use the computer to show you the photos they take, help you simply cut them, and then they will publish them if you want to buy. The price is about 10 yuan each, and the plastic will cost extra. So everyone should choose carefully.

On the last day, we still continued to stay and play in the ancient city.

After breakfast in the morning, I went to the ancient city of Fenghuang to visit Shen Congwen's former residence. When you enter the tour, there will be some sisters explaining. If you are interested, you can follow them and listen to them. You can also go your own. It feels nostalgic here. You can see the bedrooms and kitchens of people from the past.

After the visit, we bought some specialties nearby, such as peanut candy.

After buying it, I played in the water by the water. When you see the ancient city at night, the ancient city during the day also has another charm under the sun. Play with the water, walk on the bridge, and experience the life of the local residents.

Then, we lined up for the Tuojiang River boating.

There are a lot of people in line, so you have to follow closely or you will be cut in line.

Sitting on the small boat and looking at the ancient city on both sides of the strait, you can see many shops like inns. When sitting, you can reach out and touch the water and feel the temperature of the water. It's so comfortable.

The boat journey lasted about ten minutes. After getting off the boat, we landed. After getting ashore, we walked straight and walked until we reached the gate of the ancient city, ready to take the bus and take the high-speed train back to Guangzhou. On the way to the door, there are many shops selling specialty jewelry and clothing, which you can also visit. There are also shops selling kiwis. They all say that they grow them and are very cheap. There is a big bag for a few yuan, compared to Guangzhou, only a few yuan!! However, this is abundant here, so it is very cheap. You don't have to be afraid of rotten or anything, you can buy it with confidence. We also bought a large bag and planned to take it back to eat haha. There are also some residents who set up stalls to sell ethnic ornaments and costumes, which are very cheap. They are cheaper than selling them in Furong Town, Zhangjiajie. They only cost a few yuan. If they were sold in other places, they would cost more than ten yuan... We just looked around and we also bought some as souvenirs.

In the end, I reluctantly left the ancient city and took the high-speed train to Guangzhou. End this four-day trip.
