Foreword:

I often wonder what the meaning of travel is. It is the pursuit of the realm of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, hearing about the various things in the world, and understanding the customs of all ethnic groups. It is Zhang San's self-indulgence in visiting here, it is the pride brought by the beautiful photos in the circle of friends. It is the desire of "the world is so big, I want to see it", or what. No matter what it is, there is probably a dream deep down in everyone's heart to travel to every corner of the world and see the myriad customs of the world. I've been to some places, but I just took photos, and the hair circle was fine. However, this time, while waiting at the airport, I suddenly thought that I should write a travel note, or I should write everything when I go to every place in the future, because sometimes words can express more. Coming back from Zhangjiajie strengthened my thoughts.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

In the scorching summer, the rising temperature scorches people's body and mind. Under the attack of the sun and the radiation of various pressures, cool air-conditioned rooms cannot save people's lost emotions. Every time at this time, people on holidays will think that it is time to find a place to escape the summer. And we just happened to have a hot vacation, and following the reputation of a fairyland on earth, I came to Zhangjiajie.

I didn't do any strategies beforehand. The first time I learned that Zhangjiajie's name came from a primary school Chinese textbook. On the first night in Zhangjiajie, after taking a nap, we went downstairs and wandered around and found a travel agency next to the hotel. We went in and had a look. The travel house said that there are more than 3,000 scenic spots in Zhangjiajie Forest Park, and many places have no road signs. It is easy to miss the way when you come for the first time. Afterwards, it proved that what the travel agency said was indeed reasonable. Considering the reasons for the journey and the itinerary, we chose to sign up for a tour group, and our first stop chose Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

Take the travel agency's bus to the entrance of Wulingyuan Scenic Area, and then take the scenic area eco-friendly vehicle to the cableway entrance. Environmentally friendly vehicles in the scenic area drive along the winding road, with a bend every few minutes. After several turns, suddenly, the terrain suddenly changed greatly. The peaks rose steeply, green trees were stacked, and a patch of green came into view. The impact of vision caused a chemical reaction in the body, as if applying cooling oil to the brain.

After arriving at the cableway entrance, take the cableway up Tianzi Mountain. According to the tour guide, Tianzi Mountain is 1,256 meters above sea level and covers an area of about 65 square kilometers. After arriving at the top of the mountain, I was stunned by the scenery in front of me. Looking up from the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the thousands of mountains and valleys in Wuling. It is truly beautiful and beautiful, but the mountains are unknown. Mountain peaks rise from the ground, like spears standing in the sky. The stone forests are in all kinds of shapes, like swords, swords and halberds standing in the forest, like thousands of troops rushing towards them, or like shy girls holding their heads and smiling. Tianzi Mountain can be said to be a combination of wonder, danger, beauty, tranquility and wilderness. It is said that it has an overpass (the first bridge in the world), two Tianchi lakes, three ancient temples, four Tianmen, five flying springs, six cave caves, seven scenic spots, and eighty-four viewing platforms. The beauty here is not comparable to Guilin, but the peaks are more mysterious, concentrated, taller and wilder than Guilin! But unfortunately, his mobile phone couldn't capture the beauty and grandeur in front of him. Lao Feng said to go back and buy a SLR camera and learn photography hard. Such a beautiful scenery deserves better equipment to capture. In Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area, we visited classic attractions such as Helong Park, Fairy Flowers, Yubi Peak, and Xihai Stone Forest in turn. Every time I visited an attraction, I especially wanted to stop for more time to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of me. Then I had limited time. I could only watch and walk.

The second attraction to visit is Yuanjiajie Scenic Area. Along the way, we would see monkeys scurrying among the trees, which immediately added a lot of interest. It is said that these monkeys are all macaques. The tour guide also introduced us to many rare herbs and vegetation. I think it is because of Zhangjiajie's natural ecology that such strange trees, grasses and rare birds and monsters can be bred.

Later, we went to attractions such as Guanwei Terrace, Harry Road (where the movie Avatar was filmed), the First Bridge in the World, the God and Ghost Wentian, and the Apes Moon. The scenery in Zhangjiajie is unique. There are straight stone peaks and stone walls, and the transverse lines are tortuous, intertwined with each other to form an article. No, it can be said to be a "chapter painting". People are accustomed to praising the beauty of nature's form with associations such as "monkeys looking for peace" and "children worshiping Guanyin", and often use the word "lifelike" to describe their resemblance. In fact, many stones are beautiful in themselves, and their beauty lies between similarity and non-similarity. There are many famous stone peaks in Zhangjiajie, such as Qin Shihuang's "Golden Whip", and the "Three Sisters"... Beautiful stories can be created freely by people's imagination! Zhu Rongji once wrote an inscription saying,"There are gods on the top of Zhangjiajie." If there were no tourists, this would be a fairyland for others and a peach blossom garden in your hearts.

Jinbian River is also a great beauty in Zhangjiajie. It sings birds, plays apes, and gurgling water, and enjoys the fun of returning to nature. Time was too short, so I just took a look at it at the end of my trip, but I could no longer forget its face. If Guilin adds to the elegance of the boudoir with the reflection of the Li River; there is a winding stream running through the valleys of Zhangjiajie, with rough rocks, unique to the health and beauty of a girl from a barefoot mountain village!

There is a lot of rain in the mountains, fog smears the green mountains, and layers are heavy. It has a bit of the style of Huangshan, but when we see monkeys climbing on the top of the trees and shaking towards us, this is completely different from the mood of Huangshan. There is also the wall that cuts straight into the sky, with dozens of acres of virgin forest on it. We have to listen to the villagers tell the thrilling stories of their climbing and look at the forest and sigh.

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon

The second scenic spot on the itinerary is the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. The glass bridge in the Grand Canyon in Zhangjiajie is a place that people love and fear, but most people who come here will try to walk on it, probably because of the old saying,"Take a walk on the bridge and you will live to 99." I may have been mentally prepared before. When I walked on it, I didn't have any fear, but was more excitement and excitement.

Get off the glass bridge and walk straight down the man-made steps to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. If the mountains of Zhangjiajie are strange, dangerous, strange and majestic, then the Grand Canyon can be described as secluded and green. I saw a poem on the Internet and felt that it was suitable for compatibility with the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon.

The grass in the deep canyons is green, and the lake water is green and transparent.

The mist is like a gauze ridge, and the rising sun shines like a line on the jungle.

The wind and the sun are so bright, and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers are also passionate.

The silent sky cries and smells, and the boat man ferrying the fish。

Tianmen Mountain

While visiting Zhangjiajie Forest Park, I still thought that if it rained a little, the mountains would definitely be another beautiful scenery. The sky was beautiful, and on the last day of returning to Nanjing, the sky turned from sunny to overcast. When visiting Tianmen Mountain, I chose Route B-the highway goes up the mountain and the cableway goes down the mountain.

Just arrived at the entrance of the scenic area and looked up at the mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

Take an environmentally friendly vehicle in the scenic area and drive along the Panshan Highway. The 99-bend wonder of the world's highway is known as Tongtian Avenue. It is accompanied by the loud "One Bend","Two Bend", and "Three Bend" from two children on the bus... We arrived at the foot of the mountain. The moment we got off the bus, we were stunned by the scenery in front of us. Majestic, spectacular, beautiful, and unparalleled cannot describe the scenery in front of you. The Tianmen Cave opens with a welcome return. Tourists from all over the world can come here to enjoy Tianmen Mountain. From the bottom of the mountain to Tianmen Cave, you can choose to go straight up the elevator or take the upper ladder. The stairs connecting Tongtian Avenue and Tianmen Cave have a total of 999 levels, implying supremacy and everlasting life. The entire slope is gentle and steep, which conforms to the meaning of 99, implying that the road of life is ups and downs, and only after experiencing ups and downs can it be completed.

After climbing 999 steps, you reach Tianmen Cave. Overlooking the mountains, you can see smoke lingering around, filling the clouds and mist in the mountains, which are unpredictable, sometimes surging like rolling waves, sometimes floating like wisps of gossamer. The mountain is looming, and no one has moved, but the mountain is walking. That's probably it.

The Tianmen Mountain glass plank road has a mountain on one side and an abyss on the other. The side next to the mountain is an opaque stone brick road, and the side next to the cliff is a transparent glass road. Walking on the side of the cliff makes you feel scared, but walking on the side of the mountain gives you a sense of security. The same is true of life. There are many glass plank roads, with risks and rewards coexisting. If you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery, you must overcome your fear. In fact, we have to thank the thousands of monks who were able to walk on the glass plank road. It is said that eight workers died in order to develop Tianmen Mountain.

summary

It is a pity to visit Zhangjiajie this time. Many scenic spots have not been seen. Perhaps the beauty of Zhangjiajie will never be seen.

A passage I saw at the Xibu Street Museum in Zhangjiajie: Zhangjiajie lives in Shen Congwen's novels, Zhangjiajie lives in Wu Guanzhong's paintings, and Zhangjiajie lives in Song Zuying's songs. I want to say that Zhangjiajie lives in the hearts of every one of us. There are some places you come once and you don't want to come again. Zhangjiajie is a place that you will want to visit in spring, summer, autumn and winter. I hope Zhangjiajie will always maintain its beauty. I hope that no matter how the economy develops, Zhangjiajie will naturally exist. It's good to exist and not be commercialized.
