In May, the spring flowers have withered, but the summer solstice has not yet arrived. Bai Juyi's poem "April on the World Is Farming" probably refers to this time? In this case,"I have no place to find for a long time to return in spring", where should I travel in May?

In the past two years, many entertainment video platforms have been promoting a very popular place-Zhangjiajie Scenic Area. Presumably many people have also come here like me, right?

Zhangjiajie is one of the most important tourist cities in China due to tourism. However, the external transportation system here is not very complete. Therefore, the most convenient way to get to Zhangjiajie from all over the country is to transit through Changsha.

It was nearly 8 o'clock in the evening with my friends and I taking the high-speed train from Wuhan to Zhangjiajie. Because we had to visit Wulingyuan Scenic Area the next day, we chose Huazhu Zhangjiajie Inn in Spring. This inn gives people a lot of good impression at first glance. The entire inn is decorated in the local Tujia style, with a strong folk style!

Huazhu·Zhangjiajie Zinchunnli Inn is less than 10 minutes 'walk from Wulinyuan Bus Station and the Wulinyuan Sign Gate of Zhangjiajie Forest Park, which is really convenient for our trip. As soon as we entered the inn, the landlady enthusiastically planned our travel route. It was amazing!

Because my partners and I like a leisurely and poetic environment, we decisively chose the twin room with mountain view!

The themed mountain view room is built with Xiangxi ethnic customs supplemented by original ecological natural style. It is a clean and elegant room.

In view of the enthusiasm of the innkeeper to help plan the route, we arranged our itinerary for the next four days properly.

itinerary planning

DAY1: Wulingyuan (also known as National Forest Park)

DAY2: Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge

DAY3: Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie

NO.1 Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

DAY1: Wulingyuan Ticket Station Entrance-Environmentally Friendly Vehicle-Longfeng Temple-Jinbianxi Full Course-Yangjiajie Cableway or Walking Up the Mountain-Yangjiajie-Yuanjiajie-Bailong Tianti Down the Mountain-Shili Gallery-Wulingyuan Ticket Station Exit Scenic Area.

Morning: We enter directly from the Wulingyuan Ticket Station; take an eco-friendly car to the Longfeng 'an Lower Station, pass through the Dayang Bar Square, and then walk to the "most beautiful canyon in the world"-[Jinbianxi Scenic Area]:(Including Guanyin Sending Children, Journey to the West Exterior Shooting Site, Pig Bajie Carrying Daughter-in-law Scenic Spot, Shenying Whip, Splitting Mountain to Save Mother, Changshou Spring, Thousands of Miles Meeting and other attractions)

Jinbianxi Scenic Area

There is a monkey colony habitat in the lower reaches of Jinbian River. There are many tourists staying there. It took us about 1.5 hours to walk through Jinbian River.

Then it took us about two hours to hike from the Jinbian River, the thousand-mile meeting attraction,"Kuanpo", to Yuanjiajie (PS: We had lunch in the scenic area)

Afternoon: After lunch, visit the core of the world's natural heritage-[Yuanjiajie Scenic Area]:(Including the "Qiankun Pillar", the prototype of "Hallelujah Mountain" in the movie "Avatar", the First Bridge in the World, the Jiutian Mysterious Stairs, Qiankun Pillar, Lianxin Bridge, China-South Korea Friendship Pavilion, Shengui Wentian, Ecstasy Terrace and other attractions).

We went to Yuanjiajie, the core of the scenery in the scenic area. Yuanjiajie consists of thick and high stone peaks, lush green trees, and ravines thousands of feet deep. Standing on the top of the mountain, with layers of independent stone peaks bursting into our eyes, we all felt that this trip had been worth it.

Then we came to the shooting area of the movie Avatar, fastened a copper lock full of blessings on the Lianxin Bridge, looked into the distance on each observation deck, took a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery, and put it into the time machine of memories. hehe ~

I heard that the most must-miss thing to go up and down the mountain from Yuanjia Boundary is of course the Bailong Elevator! Full of curiosity, we also rub together. The whole journey was to sit in the sightseeing elevator, watch the scenery outside the elevator change, and instantly reach the bottom of the mountain from the top of the mountain. Then we proudly said that we were also the people who had taken the "highest outdoor elevator" in the world!

After arriving at the bottom of the mountain, we went to Shili Gallery and took a small train to shuttle through the beautiful scenic area. There were language explanations on the train. Because we were the first to play it, we felt super nice!

Tourism tips: To admire the peaks of Shili Gallery in Zhangjiajie, you must have rich imagination. You can imagine following the tour guide's instructions. If you don't hire a tour guide, check the strategies and do your homework before going; after reaching the end of the Shili Gallery, you can return the same way or continue to reach Tianzi Mountain; the sightseeing train can be based on your actual situation. Choose whether to take it;

After we arrived at the end of the Shili Gallery, we were a little tired from playing and the weather was getting late, so we returned the same way and did not continue to Tianzi Gate. After that, we left the scenic spot from the Wulingyuan Ticket Station and returned to the inn. After resting at the inn, we went out shopping and tasted Zhangjiajie's specialty snacks. The taste was really unique. If we couldn't eat peppers, we wouldn't have a taste!

After dinner, we also went to Xibu Old Street. We originally planned to watch the party, but we wanted to buy tickets, but watching the party doesn't seem to be my thing. As a small foodie, we only have feelings for eating, haha

The delicious food we ate when we visited Zhangjiajie included Zhangjiajie Sanxia pot, Shier Stewed Chicken and Duck, cured game, and many, many snacks.

NO.2 Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge-Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain Glass Plank Road

DAY2: Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge

The next day we went to the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge. The whole journey was so exciting that my little heart was about to burst out!

DAY 3: Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie

On the third day, we went to visit Tianmen Mountain and took the longest cableway from the city center to the top of Tianmen Mountain (it took me more than half an hour to sit). Tianmen Mountain also has many scenic spots, but it is not as big as the Forest Park. You can finish all the highlights in one day. Attractions, the wonders of the 99-way bend highway, the Ghost Valley Plank Road, the Glass Plank Road, the Tianmen Cave, the 999-level ladder, etc., it was so fun and exciting!

There are too many scenic spots in Zhangjiajie. We haven't had enough fun yet. We will definitely go again if we have the opportunity! Of course, overall, it was very worthwhile to go to play with my friends.
