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, but it gave 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 May, you can enjoy the beauty of Hunan like we did in May last year.

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.

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.

Zhangjiajie Geopark

Take a bus to Zhangjiajie and Yangjiajie the next day! Zhangjiajie is so big, with bridges, mountains, and roads everywhere. Almost all of them are walking here.

When you come to Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie, of course, you have to see the fairy scattered flowers and the Yubi Peak. These two are world natural heritage sites, and many tourists are taking photos.

There is also the Natural Great Wall. Standing on it and looking at the mountain scenery ahead is really comfortable and enjoyable!

On the way to Jinbian River, you need to take a mountain road. There are stone ladders on the mountain road, which makes it easier to walk. You have to walk down the mountain to reach Jinbian Creek. When you arrive at Jinbianxi, you will see many people washing their hands and playing in the water using the stream. There are also many macaques in the trees. You can watch them up close.

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.

yangjiajie

Then, we went to the nearby Yangjiajie and took a cable car to enjoy the panoramic view of the mountain! Buy cable car tickets before building a cableway, and then check in at this gate.

After checking the tickets, queue up to take the bus.

Generally, there are four to six people per cable car. If you come with two people, you may share a seat with others, but it doesn't matter, just treat it as making new friends!

We happen to have a cable car for four of us! Overlooking the mountain view from the car is so grand, so spectacular!

Baofeng Lake

Then we went to Baofeng Lake.

There is a Valentine's Bridge on the way to Baofeng Lake. I heard that people who walk by will only be happy if they are two people holding hands. So I walked by hand with my sister.

After walking through Valentine's Bridge, then we will take the mountain road. There are many mountains on the mountain. The stones and trees are marked with their names. You can stop and take a look, find a picture before moving forward.

When you reach Baofeng Lake, you have to take a boat to enjoy the lake and mountain views.

Many mountains can be seen on the boat. They are all shaped, so people use their shapes to name the mountains.

When the brothers and sisters on the two boats meet, they will say hello and sing to each other in the form of folk songs. It's very interesting. We tourists can also follow them in response!

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 previous accommodation area, which is full of wooden houses.

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

When walking to see the waterfalls, professional photographers will help tourists take photos of the waterfalls, and then you will be asked to pay for your own photos. The price ranges from 15 to 20, and the larger ones are more expensive. However, the photographer helped you take a good picture, and he helped you choose a good position to take it. There were no one else around in the photo, just you and the waterfall. So if you want to keep a souvenir, you can buy it.

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. There is no need to enter the ancient town at night. 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.

You can see many gourmet shops and shops selling jewelry and clothing along the way. They are very unique, so you can stop and have a look.

We ate the hot and sour noodles here for dinner at a restaurant and tried nearby snacks.

After eating, continue to stroll around and see specialty shops. Opposite the river is Bar Street. There are many bars, clear bars, and some people are singing and playing music. If you are tired from walking, you can also go in and drink wine and listen to music. It is also a good enjoyment.

On the way, I will meet some women holding signs saying that they can wear national costumes at a price of 10-20 per person. We also wanted to try it on, so we picked a few clothes and put them on to try them on. After putting it on, they will find someone to help you take pictures with their camera, teach you how to pose, and help you find a good position. At this time, you can take pictures of them or not, but your attitude should be clear. Then you can take a selfie or something!

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.

There are many different styles of wishing lights, and the prices range from 10 to 30. You can bargain with them, especially when you buy multiple ones, you can ask them to give you a lower price.

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.

At noon, I found a firewood food restaurant for lunch. It is a time-honored restaurant that is very popular and popular among locals. It is deeply loved and sought after by locals and tourists. The real firewood food is a big pot, a big stove, and then a fire is made in the stove and cooking in the pot. The taste is really great. It is the first time to eat firewood food. I didn't expect the experience to be so great. I really fell in love with it. Go to Fenghuang Ancient City, A must-recommend gourmet restaurant to eat, highly recommend!

Tuojiang River Boating

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 cities on both sides of the strait, you can see many shops like KZ. 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.
