DAY6: Mount Fanjing - Chengdu
DAY1: Today we set off from Chengdu and arrived at Zhangjiajie by train, and by the way, we finished our holiday homework. G8501, from Chengdu East to Chongqing North (305 kilometers in total, 1 hour and 50 minutes), K4787, from Chongqing North to Zhangjiajie West (590 kilometers in total, green leather train at 6:17), and it was already dark when we arrived in Zhangjiajie. Tasted the local specialties - Sanxiaguo, the ingredients are self-selected three main ingredients (we chose pork belly, fried pork slices and crispy bones), green and red dried peppers, onions, potatoes fried in the pan, and then served in the whole pot , not bad! (Hunan cuisine is generally salty and spicy. If you are not used to it, you can tell the boss in advance. You can also choose a dry pot or a soup pot. We chose a dry pot.) The name of the shop is "Fu Zhengyi", which is recommended.
DAY2: Depart from Zhangjiajie City Hotel (Yongding District) at 7:00 am to Zhangjiajie Scenic Area (Wulingyuan District). Enter the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon at nine o'clock. First of all, start with the glass bridge, which is built on the canyon, 270 meters above the ground. Walking on the bridge made of glass material as the ground, you can have a panoramic view, which is frightening. We were fortunate to witness the entire process of an uncle falling from the highest bungee jumping point in the world on the bridge, amazing! Afterwards we experienced ziplines, slides, rock climbing, VR and cruises. The zip line is to go from one end of the cliff to the other through a thick iron cable, which is very exciting. The slide is to slide down from the height of the canyon into a space similar to a slide slide. Although sliding from a relatively confined space, it is still very interesting to slide from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. The price of rock climbing is reasonable, 24 yuan a time, and simulated a natural rock wall outdoors, SO EASY for me! The prize for successfully climbing to the top is an outdoor cycling cap. After reaching the bottom of the canyon, you can take a boat to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the canyon after walking a scenic plank road, which is very pleasant. There is a snack street coming out of the canyon, and I ate the stinky tofu that I have been longing for. Although the taste is not as good as Changsha, it is not bad! In the afternoon we went to Huanglong Cave. Although it is a typical karst rock landform and has a good reputation, the caves are all similar. It is recommended that children who have visited the caves should go or not. Children who have not visited can still go in and have a look. (My mother said that there is a discount for buying tickets in advance!), Huanglong Cave is very big and cool, there is a scenic spot to explain the whole process, and I saw the "Dinghaishenzhen" insured for 100 million. , is thin in the middle, and grows on a collapsed slope, and it is speculated that it has grown for 200,000 years. It is six meters away from the top of the cave, and the top is still dripping, indicating that it is still growing, and it is estimated that it will take 60,000 years to "stand upright". In Huanglong Cave, you can take a boat to visit the karst cave on the Xiangshui River (the total length of the Xiangshui River is 2,800 meters, and the tour part is 800 meters, 8 minutes). Please remember not to put your little hands in the river when you take the boat. It is said that Hanoi has a national second-class cave. Protect the animal "Baby Fish", they eat meat. After coming out of Huanglong Cave, we went back to the hotel for a short rest. We had dinner at a local restaurant called "Fair Price Restaurant". My mother and I ordered three pots, bandit duck and refreshing fungus. I felt that the taste had been adjusted to suit tourists. The price was reasonable and the taste was average. .
DAY3: We left the hotel at 8:30 and walked to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Enter the park and take a green car for 20 minutes, then transfer to the Tianzishan cableway to reach Tianzishan, follow the scenic spot to explain the sister tour, and gain a lot. Explain that my sister is a local Tujia nationality. We not only visited the scenic spots, but also learned a lot of interesting things about the Tujia nationality. Tujia is a nation with only language but no written language, and many stories are passed down orally. For example, stepping on shoes with a different surname is equivalent to proposing marriage. An unmarried elder brother of Tujia can step on the heels of his favorite Tujia younger sister. If the other party steps on his toe, it means "agreed". The shoes represent objects and cannot be stepped on. Be careful if you step on it, you will be beaten! In addition, I also learned a lot of mysterious stories, such as crying for marriage, driving corpses, passing the new year, etc. Children can come and understand for themselves. Go down to Tianzi Mountain and continue to take an eco-car for 40 minutes to reach Yuanjiajie. There is nothing delicious in Yuanjiajie scenic spot, but there is a KFC. You can order meals in advance on the APP, which can save a lot of waiting time. My mother and I That's it. As soon as I entered KFC, I went down to pick up the meal under the envious eyes of everyone. However, due to the small number of people in the store, my mother and I could only finish the lunch standing up. After lunch, we visited the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, and found the original shape of the floating mountain in "Avatar" near the Mihun Terrace! Then we arrived at the Bailong Ladder by an eco-car. It has a vertical height difference of 335 meters and a running height of 326 meters. Three double-layer fully transparent sightseeing elevators are used to run side by side. It was included in the Guinness World Records with the honor of "Highest Outdoor Elevator", but I think it's good to see it from the outside, but if you experience it yourself, because the speed is too fast and there are too many people, you can't see anything at all, so I I don't think it is necessary to spend dozens of dollars to experience it. Finally, we took the eco-car again to reach the Ten Mile Corridor, here is to experience the unique "peak forest" landform of Zhangjiajie from another angle. If you don’t encounter a big holiday, you can take a small train for a tour, but if there are many people in the big fake, it is recommended that you don’t have to queue up to experience it, just walk around on your own feet. When we came out of the forest park, we went to watch "Charming Xiangxi".
DAY4: We left Wulingyuan District early in the morning, returned to Yongding District, and visited Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park in the morning. Enter the mountain at nine o'clock, the cableway reaches the top of the mountain, first walk the west line glass plank road, the whole field is 60 meters, 5 meters wide, because it is built on the cliff, looking down, although it is not as fun as the glass bridge on the second day, it is still very interesting The danger is very dangerous, timid children who are afraid of heights, please pass by the wall. Then we visited Li Na's villa. It was Li Na who sang "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau". The villa is not luxurious. It is said that it was just the house where Li Na lived temporarily on the mountain for a month. There are some pictures of Li Na who lived on the mountain with the villagers on the door. In the photo, it is said that Li Na became a nun after leaving Tianmen Mountain. Could it be that she also drank the "peach blossom rain" near Tianmen Cave? We don't have an answer. Then we visited a section of the "Ghost Valley Plank Road" at the southern end. The name "Ghost Valley Plank Road" is because it is on the Guigu Cave. Do you know Guiguzi? Guiguzi, whose real name is Wang Xu, and alias Wang Chan, is a legendary figure in the Warring States Period. According to legend, there are four flesh moles on his forehead, which are very ugly and resemble ghosts. Because he lives in seclusion in Guigu, Yunmeng Mountain, he calls himself Mr. Guigu. His apprentices include Sun Bin, Pang Juan and so on. They are all great people! On the way, we also saw the "Tongtian Avenue" on the mountain. It is said to have ninety-nine bends and a total length of ten kilometers, but the altitude has increased by more than one thousand meters. If you think about it, you will know how big a test this is for the driver. When we passed the Wishing Forest, my mother and I left here our expectations for the future. Then we went to the Davidia involucrata Garden, which is a national first-class protected wild plant and a plant preserved by the glacier in the fourth season. It is known as the "living fossil" of the plant world and the city tree of Zhangjiajie. Finally, take a few sections of escalator through the mountain to arrive at Tianmen Cave. Tianmen Cave was formed after hundreds of years of rock breaking and collapse due to extrusion. This cave was opened suddenly from the cliffs of Haoliang Mountain during the Three Kingdoms period, and it was as mysterious as a door. The local people regarded it as auspicious, so it was renamed Tianmen Mountain. Today's weather was exceptionally clear, and we saw the Tianmen Cave clearly, but unfortunately we didn't see the wingsuit flying. I received forty-eight drops of "peach blossom rain" with my mouth at the bottom of the cave, because it is said that as long as I receive forty-eight drops of "peach blossom rain" with my mouth, I can become a fairy. My mother said that I am already a "half fairy", haha, later For a few days, my mother called me "Half Immortal", but I don't know if this name is a good name or a joke? We also met a little brother from Anhui and a young lady from Nanjing here. We talked and laughed all the way, so happy! My brother is also very responsible. Every time I take pictures of my mother and I, I take many pictures at once, the near ones, the far ones, the tall ones, and the short ones. Anyway, we take pictures in all directions, which makes us feel like stars! After leaving Tianmen Mountain, my mother and I took the bus to Fenghuang Ancient City. Due to the break and traffic jam, we arrived at Fenghuang Ancient City at almost 8:30 in the evening. After putting down my luggage, I went to watch the performance "Phoenix Appearance". Compared with yesterday's performance, it is not at the same level at all, so I don't recommend it very much. Finally, my mother and I wandered along the Tuojiang River in the ancient city. It was almost midnight, and the ancient city was still brightly lit and crowded with people. Don’t people here sleep? The ancient cities on both sides of the strait are looming against the backdrop of lights and darkness. It is really interesting to hear the melodious music and bursts of singing from Bar Street. If you are interested, you can rent a set of national costumes and walk into the crowd to experience it.
DAY5: In the early morning, I filled my stomach with the famous local "yellow beef rice noodles", and bought a lot of homemade ginger candy from the boss, which is really delicious. My mother and I walked to both sides of the ancient city again. The ancient city in the early morning is completely different from the ancient city last night. Under the blue sky, the appearance of the ancient city is clearly visible. Why can't a wooden house propped up by a wooden pile not fall or shake? At this time, the ancient city, flowing water, small boats, small bridges, and small towers are so peaceful, and the air is so fresh. Seeing a mother-in-law in front of me setting up a stall on the ground near the river, my mother walked over and bought me a silver chain and a pair of silver earrings, and she heard her ask her, "Will the color fade? Will it fade after a long time?" Later, my mother said Let's play with this kind of thing! I also don't know what this means? But I think it's pretty cheap, isn't it? In the end we went to visit the "Former Residence of Shen Congwen". In fact, I didn't know who Shen Congwen was, but after listening to my mother's introduction, I also learned about "Border Town", so I asked my mother to buy me a copy, so the last two days It accompanied me, and I learned the story of a little girl named "Cui Cui", her grandfather, and a little yellow dog who lived in the border town...Leaving the ancient city of Fenghuang, we took a bus to Tongren, Guizhou. After arriving at Tongren Bus Station, I heard my mother make a few phone calls, and an uncle came to pick us up. My mother said that we were going to Mount Fanjing. The driver uncle loves chatting too much. I chatted with my mother all the way, and I also tried my best to listen to the local language, such as buses, black cars, police, etc. It was very interesting. My mother quietly told me that because there are very few buses to Mount Fanjing, many local people will ask such black car drivers to take them there, so I watched "Border Town" in the car and listened hard. Finally at four o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at Mount Fanjing. The B&B we live in is a ten-minute walk from the scenic spot. There is a clear stream next to the B&B. In the evening, there are many children playing here. My mother sat on the stone by the stream and watched, and I went into the water to experience it. Although I am a national third-level athlete, I have never swam in such a stream. It was so enjoyable. After going ashore, I went back to my room to take a shower, and my mother arranged dinner in the lobby of the hotel. When I went downstairs, the food was already on the table. Fish in sour soup, bacon and stir-fried vegetables, it was great, and the taste was also very good. I strongly recommend this hotel (Fanjingshan Ecological Park Restaurant), by the way, I would like to strongly remind everyone that the tickets for Fanjingshan need to be reserved on the official account in advance, and you can make an appointment three days in advance. Fanjingshan is located in Yinjiang in the northeast of Guizhou. Pine peaches. It is at the junction of Jiangkou, so entering from Jiangkou is the east gate, and entering from Yinjiang is the west gate. The two gates are very far apart. When you make an appointment, you must choose well. Oh (there will be fewer tourists entering the west gate, most of them are hiking, and there is no ropeway there). Also, there is a direct bus from Fenghuang to Fanjingshan, but it does not leave every day, so you need to call in advance to inquire!
day6: At 7 o'clock in the morning, we had the breakfast carefully prepared by the owner of the hotel. It was delicious and rich, thank you very much. After breakfast, we set off for the Fanjingshan Mountain Gate. Be sure to leave early! The sooner the better! We booked the East Gate + sightseeing car, and the cableway round trip. Because the main scenery is on the way from the cableway to the top of the mountain. In the 2020 travel list released by National Geographic, 23 places around the world are on the list, and one of them is from China, Fanjingshan, the city of sky. Not only that, Fanjing Mountain is also a national nature reserve, where many rare species of the country live, such as Guizhou golden monkey and clouded leopard. Enter the mountain gate and take a 20-minute scenic sightseeing bus and a 20-minute cableway to reach the starting point of the hike. Our plan today is Mushroom Stone-Red Cloud Golden Summit-Old Golden Summit. All the way up the stairs, my mother and I walked faster, surpassing many partners who were out of breath. You must know that we are partners who have climbed Mount Hua, Mount Emei, Mount Tai, and Mount Huang on foot, so we still have strength. It takes about half an hour to reach Mushroom Stone. Mushroom Stone is one of Guizhou's landmark scenic spots. It is formed by weathered and eroded layered rocks, which have a history of more than 1 billion years. Hey, although the scenic spot is limited on National Day, it is still overcrowded in front of the iconic scenic spot. I quickly took a photo and checked in to escape. I didn’t expect that not far from Mushroom Stone to the direction of Hongyun Jinding, the first right-turn plank road to enter has a more beautiful scenery. Here we can clearly see the old golden dome covered by thick fog. A gust of wind blows, and the thick fog is slowly blown away, revealing the white temple on the top of the mountain, which is particularly sacred against the blue sky. The five-star red flag erected on the top of the temple It was also fluttering in the wind, and then another cloud of thick fog blew in, and the old Jinding disappeared like this. There were several couples who didn’t know each other on the plank road at the same time. We chatted and waited together. When we saw the beautiful scenery was about to appear, we cheered together... Here, my mother and I learned time-lapse photography with a grandfather. The first time The operation was successful! Then we boarded the Red Cloud Golden Summit and the Old Golden Summit in turn. Hongyun Jinding is the essence of Fanjing Mountain. It is the main peak of Wuling Mountains. It is 2,336 meters above sea level and has a vertical height difference of 94 meters from the foot of the peak to the top. The chiseled narrow stone pedals can only be climbed up with the help of iron chains with both hands and feet. A temple is built on each side of the golden dome, one side is dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha, and the other side is dedicated to Maitreya Buddha. The old Jinding is 2,494 meters above sea level, and it is the highest point that can be reached when visiting Fanjing Mountain. Starting from the Buddha worship platform, the altitude rises by about 200 meters. The mountains are high and man-made peaks. Looking far away from the old Jinding, there are only stretches of ridgelines and green mountains in front of you. The red cloud and golden roof rising not far away, and the jagged mushroom stone array overlooking it all show another kind of beauty of Fanjing Mountain. On the top of the mountain is the Lantern Temple. There is a huge rock next to the temple, but climbing up is not allowed. The best viewing point is the small platform on the other side, which is the check-in point of the old Jinding, where you can take a full view of the Lantern Temple. After the tour, we quickly went down the mountain through the cable car and the sightseeing car. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. We rushed back to the hotel and ate delicious meals from the proprietress. Special thanks to the proprietress. In the end, we took the car of the enthusiastic and talkative uncle to Tongren Station, and took the train G2971. The return time of five and a half hours was enough for me to organize the travel notes I had written!
Farewell to a beautiful and fulfilling journey!
