travel personnel

1. Mia's mother and 7-year-old Mia work in Shenzhen and occasionally return to Qingyuan.

2. The twin mother and the twin aunt also work in Shenzhen.

3 - 3-year-old twins: Doudou and Shanshan, and their mother settled in Qingyuan. One is shouting out ten, and the other is a female man, twins who look similar but have completely different personalities. I like Shanshan very much and I can talk very well. For example: Aunt, do you like me? Aunt, I am here! Doudou is a crybaby! I am very good and don't need my mother to hug me! The children are so cute!

Tell me about this trip

The twin mother saw that I had traveled to so many places, so she asked to make an appointment with her this year. I originally planned to go to Nanjing, but the twins said that Nanjing is a place of soul and is not suitable for children to go. Okay, change the place! Airfares in Qingdao and Dalian were too expensive, and Chongqing and Chengdu were afraid that they would not be used to eating. Later, they booked Hunan, and the food in Xiangxi was not delicious either!

itinerary

small episode

I booked the ticket and hotel itinerary a month ago, but when we were about to leave, the twins 'mother said that there was a high-speed train directly to Changsha in Qingyuan. Haha, why did she go to Guangzhou to take it? I rarely take high-speed trains in Qingyuan, and I can't think of searching for trains departing from Qingyuan.

Day 1 Changsha

Arrived in Guangzhou one night in advance and stayed at the Chengzhong Village Hotel near Guangzhou South Railway Station. It included pick-up and transfer for one night to make do with it. The next day, I took the 8 o'clock bus and arrived in Changsha in almost three hours. I took the subway to the inn to check in. This inn has a view of the river and is very close to the pedestrian street, so there is no need to take a car.

Changsha is the birthplace of Chu civilization and Hunan Chu culture. It has a long history and culture of 3000 years. The excavation of important cultural relics such as the Mawangdui Han tomb and Zoumalou bamboo slips reflects its profound Chu culture and Huxiang cultural heritage. The Yuelu Academy is located at the foot of Yuelu Mountain. It is a symbol of Hunan culture and education. Many celebrities have emerged in history, leaving behind many historical and cultural relics, becoming one of the first batch of national historical and cultural cities. Changsha is worthy of being one of the four major stoves. It's so hot! So I didn't set any itinerary for fear of heatstroke! As a transit point, you can stroll around at night.

Beautiful steamed shrimp

Spicy crayfish, also known as flavored shrimp, Changsha flavored shrimp, spicy crayfish, thirteen fragrant crayfish,"Ma Xiao", etc., belongs to Hunan cuisine and is developed from local dishes such as the Xiangjiang River Basin, Dongting Lake area and the mountainous areas of western Hunan. It has a red and bright color and a spicy and strong taste. But we can't eat spicy food, so we can only choose steamed shrimp! Liangliang Steamed Shrimp is an online celebrity shop that has been sold every day. Maybe we came at the wrong time. It was past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the taste was average and a little cold. Moreover, we only had one table in the store, and all the spare employees were staring at us while eating. It was so embarrassing!

Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street

It is a comprehensive place that integrates multiple functions such as shopping, leisure, entertainment, catering, culture and tourism. Huangxing Road is not only synonymous with shopping in Changsha, but also famous for its delicious food. It starts from Nanmenkou in the south and is located in an area where snacks and food stalls are gathered. A delicious street has famous shops such as Changsha's famous Centenary Store Huo Palace, and many specialty dishes. Famous snacks include stinky tofu, flavored shrimp, etc.

Brother Han's photo is too young!

The night view is so beautiful! Changsha, good night!

Day 2 Tianmen Mountain

Tianmen Mountain was called Yunmeng Mountain and Songliang Mountain in ancient times. In the sixth year of Wu Yong 'an of the Three Kingdoms (AD 263), the cliffs of Songliang Mountain suddenly opened open, making it as clear as a gate, forming a rare wonder of the world-Tianmen Cave. From then on, it was named Tianmen Mountain. During this period, ancient trees reach the sky, vines are intertwined, moss is covered, stalagmites and stone buds are everywhere, and everything is like natural bonsai. It is praised as the most beautiful hanging garden and celestial fairyland in the world.

Zhangjiajie County

Zhangjiajie was established due to tourism and is one of the most important tourist cities in China. It is the birthplace and central area of the Hunan, Hubei, Chongqing and Guizhou Revolutionary Base. Wulingyuan Natural Scenic Area, which consists of three major scenic spots including Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, has been included in the World Natural Heritage List by UNESCO and has been listed as one of China's first batch of "World Geoparks".

The local famous Xiasanguo is a bunch of vegetables cooked together. I feel that the dishes in Xiangxi are not suitable for Cantonese!

Day 3 Wulingyuan

Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie, is a national key scenic spot and the first batch of 5a-level tourist attractions in the country. It consists of four parts: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and National Geopark, Suoxiyu, Tianzi Mountain and Yangjiajie. It belongs to the sandstone peak forest landform and is known for its peaks, valleys, water, forests and caves.

tianzishan

Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area is closely related to Zhangjiajie and Suoxiyu by mountains and rivers. It is named after Xiang Dakun, an ancient Tujia leader, claimed to be the emperor. It is in the prime of the evolutionary history of peak forests and is known as the "King of Peak Forests". There are many stone peaks and ravines on the east, west and south sides. The territory includes six small scenic spots, including Shijia Eaves, Chapanta, Laowuchang, Yuanchai River, Huanglong Spring, and Fengqi Mountain. The main attractions include Helong Park, Yubi Peak, fairy laying flowers, warrior horse training, Dianjiangtai, Shentang Bay, Shangtianzi Temple Ruins, etc. To take the cable car up the mountain, there are many people in line!

This is the shooting location at the entrance of Journey to the West Bone Bone Cave, and it is also the Yinyuan Cave. It is said that a couple walked in that cave holding hands three times in a row without any leaves falling off, and they would be in love to the point of their heads! Haha, this little couple is just about to give it a try! It's so tiring to have to queue up for a bus down the mountain! The tour guide said that he would wait in line for two or three minutes, but he would wait! Alas, the summer vacation season is like this, there is no way to take care of children!

This is the place for lunch. After dinner, go to a stockade to watch the performance! Tujia customs in western Hunan: blocking the door to drink, weddings, silver ornaments, going up the mountain and down the sea of fire, etc. In ancient times, women in Xiangxi had a high status and liked to wear all kinds of silver ribbons.

The children watched the performance so seriously! Very supportive!

the yuanjiajie

Yuanjiajie is a mountain terrace. Behind the mountains and mountains, facing the secluded valleys and peaks, extending from east to west. The main attractions include the Back Garden, Chizhuo Terrace, the First Bridge in the World, etc.

the first bridge in the world

It is a natural stone bridge. With the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature, a natural stone slab about 5 meters thick is "erected" across the sky on the two peaks, connecting the east and west peaks. The height, span and thrills are rare in the world, so it is called the "first bridge in the world". The pine trees are tall and straight on the bridge, and the clouds and mist ripple under the bridge, creating an abyss. Water droplets splashed on the cliffs around them. This is a unique scenery in Zhangjiajie and a miracle of nature.

Eccentricity Terrace

About 800 meters east from Yuanjiajie, there is a small road winding south to the Wuyanding platform. Stand on the platform and look around left and right, and have a panoramic view of the myriad scenes. Whenever it starts to clear after the rain, there are sometimes light clouds and light fog floating and lingering among the peaks. However, the mountains move and the peaks are hidden, like a Qionglou and jade pavilion, appearing from time to time. When the tourists come here, they are all obsessed with their souls and do not know where they are, so they are known as the Ecstasy Platform.

Hallelujah Suspended Mountains

The Nantian Pillar (also known as Qiankun Pillar) in Zhangjiajie was renamed the "Avatar" Hallelujah Mountain. The Nantian Pillar is one of the three thousand strange peaks in Zhangjiajie. It has an altitude of 1074 meters and a vertical height of about 150 meters. The top is lush with lush vegetation and the peak body is unique in shape and the vertical joints are cut clearly. It stands tall in Zhangjiajie like a knife and an axe. It has the power of being indomitable, so it is also known as Qiankun Pillar. Hollywood photographer Hansen conducted a four-day exterior shooting in Zhangjiajie, and a large number of landscape pictures later became the prototype of various elements of the planet Pandora in the American science fiction blockbuster "Avatar".

bailong ladder

Bailong Ladder, with a vertical height difference of 335 meters and a running height of 326 meters, consists of a 154-meter solid well in the mountain body and a 172-meter steel structure derrick attached to the mountain. It uses three double-layer fully exposed sightseeing elevators to operate in parallel and split, each carrying 50 passengers per time, and the running speed is 3 meters/second. The three elevators operate simultaneously with a round-trip capacity of 4000 passengers per hour. The construction of the Bailong Stairway achieves the goal of traveling on the mountains and living at the foot of the mountain. It has pushed Yuanjiajie's No. 1 Bridge in the world, Chizai Terrace, Tianhang Bailian, Wulong Village, Yangjiajie and other peerless scenery from behind the scenes to the front desk, and also connects Tianzi Mountain, Yuanjiajie, Jinbianxi and other high-quality tourist routes, solving the traffic bottleneck problem that has plagued the scenic spot for many years. The scenery when you get down from the elevator is so spectacular that words cannot describe it, you must give it a try!

Jinbianxi Daxia Valley

It is named after passing through the Golden Whip Rock, one of the top ten unique scenery gods of Zhangjiajie. The Jinbian River is the most beautiful scenery in Wulingyuan. Walking through the peaks and valleys, the stream is clear and colorful, with small fish swimming in it. The flowers and plants along the stream are delicious, and birds sing and orioles sing. People walking along the clear stream is better than swimming in a painting. It is known as one of the most beautiful canyons in the world.

There are so many monkeys here. They are so cute. The mother monkey even competes with her children for food! Carrying a bag of food, it will really come and snatch it! What is not delicious will not eat! I'm about to become a genius!

Shili gallery

Zhangjiajie Shili Gallery Scenic Area is located in Suoxiyu Scenic Area and is the essence of tourism in the scenic area. On both sides of this ten-mile-long valley, there are rich natural landscapes, and walking through it seems like you are in a painting. Dai Feng stands next to the ditch. The rocks on the mountain form more than 200 stone scenery shapes that resemble people, objects, birds and beasts. Among them, peacocks opening screens, medicine pickers, and longevity stars welcoming guests are the most famous.

Day 4 Glass Bridge

After risking my life yesterday, today will be a little easier. The tour guide said that we were here to risk our lives because we shortened the four-day scenic spots into two days to visit, and paid an additional 680 yuan for transportation tools to send Xiangxi party performances, corpse hunting, etc. We were too tired to take the children to go and see.

The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge is named Yuntiandu. It is located in the Lishuya and Wuwangpo areas of the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Scenic Area in Hunan Province. It is a landscape bridge that has functions such as pedestrian passage, sightseeing, bungee jumping, zip rope, catwalk and other functions in the scenic area. The main span is 430 meters and crosses the canyon. The bridge deck is 375 meters long and 6 meters wide. The relative height of the bridge deck from the valley bottom is about 300 meters. This fully transparent glass bridge ranks first in the world in height. There is no feeling when walking on it, it is not completely transparent! Not afraid at all!

Tujia Fengqing Park

Tusi City was originally Yongding Tusi City. It is an ancient Tujia mountain village. In Tusi City, there are intoxicating Tujia doormen wine, mysterious Tujia ancestral worship activities, Tujia historical relics display, Tujia folk demonstrations, and Maogus of thousands of people in the Nine Heavens. The best in the world.

The latest bus from Zhangjiajie to Fenghuang was 4:30. We couldn't catch it, so we bought a train ticket to Jishou and transferred to Fenghuang for more than an hour.

Day 5 Phoenix Ancient City

Fenghuang Ancient City is located in the southwest of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hunan Province. It is composed of 28 ethnic groups including Miao, Han, and Tujia. It is a typical ethnic minority settlement area. Built in 1704 in the forty-third year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, it is a famous historical and cultural city in China, a national AAAA scenic spot, and one of Hunan's top ten cultural heritages. It was praised by the famous new Zealand writer Louis Alley as the most beautiful small city in China. It is comparable to the ancient city of Lijiang in Yunnan and the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi, and enjoys the reputation of northern Pingyao and southern Phoenix.

Xiangxi rice noodles are delicious! In Hunan, Saofan cannot step on thunder.

I have wine, do you have a story?

As a specialty, you can take it home, give gifts and phoenix things are not expensive!

If you are tired from walking outside, you can go into the store to rest and blow out the air conditioner! Enjoy the scenery along the river!

The Tuojiang River is the mother river of Phoenix. It flows down the river and passes through Hongqiao, where there are Wanshou Palace, Wanming Pagoda and Duocai Tower. The suspension buildings built along the Tuojiang River are near the Hongqiao Bridge at the East Gate and the Rock Jump at the North Gate.

The Tuojiang River jumps over rocks and traffic jams often occur! If you want to make a beautiful movie, you must seize the opportunity!

Miao clothes are photographed by the Tuojiang River for 10 yuan each, and aunties take photos for 10 yuan each. I am both a tour guide and a photographer. If I can't make it in the future, can I compete for jobs with my aunts?

Phoenix night view is so beautiful!

day 6

After breakfast, put on the local distinctive dress I bought yesterday and walked around the street casually. Then I took a taxi to the bus station, took a bus to Huaihua, and turned the bus back to Guangzhou.

This is the lobby of the B & B where we stayed.

Goodbye for the summer vacation of 2018! Phoenix, goodbye!

Choose a city to die old age, and meet a person with a white head. Choose someone to love and wait for someone to grow old.

A stream has flowed for thousands of years, but it cannot weaken the soft feeling.

The Bishui River is pure and flexible, and the Chadong Mountain is pure and firm.

This stream of clear water, this piece of green bamboo. The ferries going back and forth have only one dream!
