The next day: get up in the morning, enter the forest park entrance, walk on Jinbian stream to Bailong TIANTI, take the mountain to visit yuanjiajie scenic spot, and feel the uncanny workmanship of nature. In case of heavy fog, give up playing in Wulong Village and go to dingdingrong village early to have a rest.

The third day: get up early and carpool to the old house yard. You can't see the sunrise. You can enjoy the magic Army Party and the sky garden. In the morning, go to yangjiajie scenic spot to experience the adventure of Wulong Village, and give up the scenic spot with a long way to go.

Day 5: sleep until you wake up. After visiting Shen Congwen's cemetery, go to happy inn. Sitting on the balcony, enjoying the Tuojiang River and looking at the map strategy. In the afternoon, I went to the ambassador hotel for dinner, and then took a long time to photograph the Phoenix day scene and night scene.

Day 6: when I wake up naturally after sleeping, I visit various historic sites along the core area of Phoenix, with neighbors in the middle. Take the bus to Changsha at 3 p.m. and go to Pozi street for supper: wenheyou stinky tofu and shrimp tail.

Day 7: overslept, walk to huogong palace head office to taste a large number of snacks, take a taxi to the South Gate of Yuelu Mountain, visit Yuelu Academy, then walk up the mountain and take a cable car down the mountain. After walking across the bridge to Juzizhou, there were too many people waiting in the sightseeing bus line. They gave up the tour of Juzizhou and returned to Pozi street to taste Xiangqun pot dumplings and stinky tofu. Take the green car hard seat to Wuhan. Arrive in Wuhan at 11 p.m.

Day 8: oversleep, take a taxi to Hubu lane, and taste hot and dry noodles of CAI Linji, bean skin of Lao Heji, and unknown fried bananas and beef tendon with sauce. After walking to visit the Yellow Crane Tower, I came out ahead of time and crossed Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge on foot. After enjoying the beautiful river beach, I took a taxi to Wuhan University and visited the campus. By the way, I bought two boxes of Zhou black duck. Go to Hankou railway station, take the soft sleeper back to Xuzhou, end the happy journey.





1. Zhangjiajie scenic area is located 50 kilometers north of the city. The last bus between the city and the scenic area is 18 o'clock, and the fare is 10 yuan. There are also taxi drivers who charge 10 yuan. They will send you to the group to fight for a rebate. Don't be cheated.

2. Zhangjiajie scenic area, Phoenix Inn generally charge 30 yuan a bowl of air conditioning fee, and for the sake of environmental protection, all do not provide toiletries, towels, etc., it is recommended to bring in advance. It's not that the inn doesn't want to provide it, it's the regulation of Hunan Provincial Tourism Bureau, so don't cause disputes with the inn. And because there are more monks and less porridge, the prices of hotels in peak season or golden week generally increase, even more than three or five times.

3. The spring water on the way to jinbianxi is quite delicious. You can leave a bottle to taste it. When climbing up the mountain from jinbianxi, if it's in the peak season or golden week, Bailong TIANTI usually queues up for more than two hours. Maybe climbing up can save more time.

4. From Dingxiang banyan carpool to laowuchang, it is generally 40 yuan per person and 120 yuan for charter. In peak season, every inn can carpool, but in off season, no village can carpool.

5. There is a McDonald's in Tianzishan scenic area. The price is not much higher than that in the urban area. It is the most cost-effective restaurant in the forest park scenic area!

6. Tianmen Mountain can only rely on the cableway, the hourly transport capacity is only 1000 people, the transport capacity is very limited, if in the peak season or golden week, usually need to queue up at 5 a.m; But if off-season, 9 a.m. to the queue only 10 minutes.

7. Although the ancient city of Phoenix is commercialized, it is suggested to stay for at least a whole day. You don't have to see many scenic spots in the ancient city, just eat and drink.

8. Please be modest when you eat hot pepper in Hunan. If you are not good at spicy food but want to taste it, people ask you, please say:

"Slightly spicy, slightly spicy! It's a little spicy in our eyes

9. Buying food or souvenirs from villagers' or local people's shops is not only relatively affordable, but also can bring them practical help.




Day 1: fly from Beijing to Changsha. Changsha takes bus to Zhangjiajie City, and takes CMB to Zhangjiajie forest park ticket station in the same bus station.

At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time, I took a special bus to terminal T1 of Beijing Capital Airport in drowsiness. As I ordered a special ticket, I took off very early! 6: 05, which means that I have to arrive at the airport before 5 o'clock. Although I am very sleepy, I can fly to Changsha for less than 300 yuan, which is worth my hard work.

8: 30 successfully arrived in Changsha, no checked luggage, directly out of the airport to take the airport bus. As I take the bus to Zhangjiajie at "Changsha Zhuzhou Xiangtan bus station" near Changsha railway station, I choose the bus to the civil aviation building (around the railway station), 15.5 one, leaving on time in 20 minutes.

I reserved the bus for Zhangjiajie at 10:30 in advance. I arrived an hour in advance and I was ready to have a rest in the bus station. Then I got into Changsha Zhuzhou Xiangtan bus station and was stunned! A dark, backward facilities, like migrant workers dormitory! After sitting on the chair, three or four groups of so-called blind people came and asked me to donate money to them. I didn't dare to rest even after I ignored them, because this broken bus station is so chaotic!

I got on the bus to Zhangjiajie and was relieved when I drove out of the bus station. With the cloudy weather in Changsha, my first impression of Changsha is full of negative attitude. There seems to be a sleepless sleep on the bus. Except for one service area, five hours later I opened my eyes and found a long cableway above the slope. Experience tells me that I finally arrived in Zhangjiajie!


At this time, it is close to 4 p.m., and the last bus from Zhangjiajie City to the scenic spot ticket station is 6 p.m., so if you arrive in Changsha after 12 p.m. and want to go to Zhangjiajie, it is suggested that you stay in Zhangjiajie City for the first night!

I didn't get out of the bus station. I went to the exit and got on the minibus to the forest park. If you don't buy a ticket before you get on the bus, there will be a special conductor waiting to collect the money.


I arrived near the forest park at 5 p.m. and walked for a minute to Huayu inn. As soon as I entered the hotel, I felt the warmth of home! Not only because of the hot stove, but also because of the enthusiasm of Huayu Inn family! Although the forest park around the general accommodation in general, but Huayu Inn can be said to be the best around! Independent bathroom, air conditioning, living very comfortable! The price is not expensive, good service, highly recommended!




The next day: get up in the morning, enter the forest park entrance, walk on Jinbian stream to Bailong TIANTI, take the mountain to visit yuanjiajie scenic spot, and feel the uncanny workmanship of nature. In case of heavy fog, give up playing in Wulong Village and go to dingdingrong village early to have a rest.

Zhangjiajie ticket: 245 yuan + insurance fee of 3 yuan (valid for multiple visits within 4 days, including the ticket price of environmental protection vehicles); Weekly ticket: 298 yuan (valid for multiple trips within a week). Tourists who buy "one ticket for three days" tickets can make up the difference according to the weekly ticket price if they need to increase the number of days; Discount ticket: 165 yuan + insurance fee of 3 yuan (including the ticket price of environmental protection vehicle). Full time students under 24 years old can buy discount tickets with certificate and ID card. The pass through system is adopted for tickets, which are fingerprint tickets. Fingerprint is required to be input at the entrance( The above is the peak season)

Because I am off-season + student tickets, so tickets only cost 82 + 3 yuan, very cheap!

Zhangjiajie mainly has jinbianxi, Huangshizhai, yaozizhai, yuanjiajie, yangjiajie, Tianzishan and other scenic spots. There are many unique scenic spots in each major scenic spot, which is very complex.

Among them, jinbianxi is at the foot of the mountain, while yuanjiajie, yangjiajie, Tianzishan, Huangshizhai and yaozizhai are on the mountain. Although Huangshi village and Yaozi village are on the mountain, they are independent. That is to say, you have to go back to the foot of the mountain after seeing these two scenic spots! Huangshi village is OK. It can take a cable car to get back and forth. Yaozi village has only stairs. It takes almost a day to get up and down! What's more, the view of Huangshizhai is the same as that of yuanjiajie, but the angle is different! Although there are some famous sayings such as "less than Huangshi village, more than Zhangjiajie", I still want to say: if you are short of time, Huangshi village and Yaozi village are the two scenic spots you can give up most!

In fact, Zhangjiajie Forest Park is relatively large, with many scenic spots, most of which are scattered, and the roads in the scenic area are complex. Therefore, in order to facilitate and hear the explanation, I made an appointment with a local guide Xiao Liu through Zhangjiajie donkey housekeeper. Xiao Liu gave me a lot of advice and route planning before I set out. He was a good person and had a good time with me for a few days. If you don't want to be too troublesome, you can contact him.

After collecting information on the Internet for many times and communicating with Xiao Liu, the guide of Zhangjiajie donkey housekeeper, I chose to join the donkey housekeeper's private group. We had a three-day trip. Two days ago, we visited Zhangjiajie Forest Park in depth, traversed various scenic spots, and also went to the "old house" that ordinary tourists would not go to. On the third day, I visited Tianmen Mountain and felt the stimulation of the glass plank road. I had an excellent experience and the itinerary is worthy of reference

Day 1: enter from the entrance of the forest park, walk on Jinbian stream to Bailong TIANTI, take the mountain to visit yuanjiajie scenic spot, and then go to Dingxiang rongcun to have a rest.

Day 2: get up in the morning and carpool to the old house yard, but fail to see the sunrise, and enjoy the magic soldier party and the sky garden. In the morning, go to yangjiajie scenic spot to experience the adventure of Wulong Village, and give up the scenic spot with a long way to go. Go to Tianzi mountain scenic spot, enjoy Shentang Bay, Dianjiang platform, and then visit Helong Park and Tianzi Pavilion. Walk down the mountain and walk to Shili gallery. (if the cable car goes down the mountain, you can take a bus to Shili Gallery, take a small train in, walk out, and then return to the exit), Wulingyuan exit, and return to the urban area.

Day 3: Tianmen Mountain.


As there are scenic spots up and down the mountain in Zhangjiajie, it is inevitable to go up and down the mountain. Young people with good physical strength can go to yuanjiajie scenic spot directly through shataogou or scurrying slope near the end of jinbianxi. It takes about 1-2 hours to climb.

You can go downhill directly through wolongling after playing in Tianzishan Pavilion, but you have to choose 8000 steps carefully.

As I was carrying all my luggage and sinking slightly, we chose to take Bailong TIANTI to the mountain and go down wolongling (visiting Shili gallery without going back). At the end of the tour, I found that my choice was wise.

There is also a way to take a bus directly to Tianzishan ticket station, which saves the process of going up the mountain. However, there are very few direct buses to Tianzishan. Moreover, the road up the mountain is steep and winding. I don't recommend it very much.





Yaozi village is 100 meters away from the forest park. Although it is not recommended, it is definitely a good place to avoid tourists.

Jinbian River, with a total length of 5700 meters, originates from tudiya. From Zhangjiajie forest farm to shuiwai four gates, it twists and turns. It is very quiet and moves with the mountains. It passes through the mountains and valleys and clouds, meandering and extending in the fragrance of birds and flowers.

Because it is off-season, tourists are very rare.

There is a longevity spring on the way to jinbianxi. The spring water can be directly used for drinking. It's sweet and refreshing. It's very delicious!

The stream flows.


There are many small woods along the Jinbian river. Walking among them, isn't this the natural "raise bar"?

Through the entrance of sadaogou scenic spot, Xiao Chen told me that the mountain scenery of this line is general, but it is loved by many outdoor lovers. If you don't carry your luggage, it's worth experiencing~

Walking in the valley and beside the stream is very pleasant~




For the first time, the towering mountain peak was so close and so far away.

Through a rest point, I bought a snack, including fragrant tofu, fried potatoes and pueraria cake, 10 yuan each. It's reasonable to think that people come here from outside the mountain every day!

It took us three hours to walk to Bailong TIANTI bus (7.5km, usually two hours)

Take a bus for 5 minutes to the Bailong TIANTI ticket office, then first make a small elevator to the viewing platform on the 32nd floor, and then walk through the long tunnel to get to the real Bailong TIANTI.

Bailong TIANTI ticket is 72 yuan, student discount ticket is 43 yuan, although the price is absolutely not cheap for the elevator of 1 minute 58 seconds. But considering that it can transport you up the mountain, I think it's worth the ticket price.

Chen Qiao said that because the transport capacity of Bailong TIANTI is limited, it is said that people often queue up for more than four hours on national day and other public holidays! If you are ready for the national day and other public holidays, it will be faster to climb up.



The speed of the elevator is very fast, and it soars into the sky. When you look at it, the mountain on the opposite side is already shrouded in clouds.

5 minutes by car, into the yuanjiajie scenic area.

Just into the scenic spot, I found a monkey in the garbage can! Picking up the corn eaten by tourists, compared with the monkeys fed by tourists in other places, I feel that the monkeys here are miserable


When I came to yuan family, I understood what "danger" was




Pass by an iron bridge, the following is part of the hollowed out, stand up really some fear!

There are many monkeys lying on the side of the bridge, as if this is their territory. We are just passing by in a hurry.



The famous Hallelujah Mountain, avatar, is just here.




In Zhangjiajie in February, light snow still covers the vegetation.


There's another monkey on the fence. It's like a ball when eating oranges. Ha ha


I ran into a little monkey and didn't dare to ask the tourists for food.


Take the green car from yuanjiajie to Tianzishan, get off at the fork, say goodbye to Xiaochen, and walk for 10 minutes to dingdingrong village.


There are many places to stay in the village. I choose the best hotel in the village. The boss provides the pick-up service from the fork in the road to the inn. When you arrive, contact him in advance and he will come to pick you up. Looking at the travelers walking into the village outside the car, I can't help feeling superior~

Most of the accommodation conditions in dingdingrong village are as follows:


But the hotel in the middle of the building is like this:

Do you think it's several levels higher?

All the wooden floors of the inn ensure that the room is not wet. The price of dinner is low and the quality is high. The boss's mother makes the food by herself. The food tastes very good!


Room air conditioning horsepower is very big, in addition, the hotel does not need to pay 30 yuan per day air conditioning fees!

Although louzhonglou inn is the most luxurious in the village, its room is only 150-200 yuan in non peak season, and it also includes air conditioning. I think this inn is the first choice in the village! As soon as it was dark, the village was quiet and there was no night life. I went to bed early and prepared to get up early the next day and go to the old house.


The third day: get up early and carpool to the old house yard. You can't see the sunrise. You can enjoy the magic Army Party and the sky garden. In the morning, go to yangjiajie scenic spot to experience the adventure of Wulong Village, and give up the scenic spot with a long way to go. Go to Tianzi mountain scenic spot, enjoy Shentang Bay, Dianjiang platform, and then visit Helong Park and Tianzi Pavilion. Walk down the mountain, walk ten Li Gallery, Wulingyuan exit back to the city. Late taste master Hu three pot.


Before dawn the next day, a group of middle-aged and old people in the same Inn and I carpooled to the old house. There are many peaks in laowuchang, the terraces in the village are overlapped, the landscape is opposite, and the countryside is full of mellow scenery. The tour line has magic soldiers gathering, air pastoral, Yuanguan Bailong TIANTI and other attractions. Due to the remote location (another 20 minutes driving in dingdingrong Village), the scenic spot has not been developed so far. The road to the old house and the viewing platform of the old house are built by the villagers themselves.

The donkey housekeeper arranged for us to charter a car to the old housing estate. As it was in the off-season, the price dropped slightly. It was 100 yuan per person( Price should be increased in peak season)


It took Mr. Peng five years to dig out the sky garden. It's hard to imagine that he could show such a miracle in such a dangerous environment!




Magic Party, dozens of independent peaks standing in front of you, overlooking the end, you will once again sigh the uncanny workmanship of nature!




Looking at the Dragon ladder from afar, it's a man-made architectural miracle!

Due to the bad weather, I couldn't see the sunrise, so I only visited laowuchang for less than an hour, but the visual impact was no less than the peak yuan Jiajie saw! I think this trip can be regarded as a highlight of the forest park. It is highly recommended to visit here!

(there are also inns in the old estates, but the conditions are a little lower. Generally, the inns in the old estates provide free transportation to the fork in the road).

.

. After sleeping in the inn for an hour, I took the green car to yuanjiajie scenic spot.

The most famous scenic spot in yuanjiajie is Wulong Village. It is said that the ancient bandits lived in Wulong Village, so the steps here are very steep, and sometimes they even need hands and feet. In addition to Wulong Village, yuanjiajie scenic spot also has some scenic spots, such as stepping up to the sky, air corridor, etc. but these places are relatively independent, and it takes at least two hours to go back and forth. Moreover, the scenery is similar to what Wulong Village sees, so they give up.

There is a cable car through yuanjiajie scenic spot at the ticket station of the forest park. You can also go up the mountain in this way.


The danger of Wulong Village is not in vain!


The road is narrow and only one person can pass through. Don't talk about fat people. I'm a man of medium height. I feel depressed when I live in this place!



It's a mistake to bring a climbing stick to Wulong Village.



But after climbing up, I found that the previous difficulties were all worth it!


Compared with yuanjiajie, the number of tourists in Wulong Village is more than 10 times less. Tour groups hardly come here, and middle-aged and old people and children who are afraid of being tired also don't come here. It can be said that a few people make a mountain!

Tianbofu is a great viewing platform, but you have to climb an almost vertical ladder to get here. Thank goodness, the scenery here is also worth it!


Originally, you could go to Tianbo mansion through the cable bridge, but for safety reasons, the cable bridge was permanently closed. So to get to Tianbo mansion, you must get down first and then go up.



It's also hard to walk down the mountain. The narrowest part is only one shoe wide.

It is suggested that you can deposit your non valuables before going up the mountain, and return the same way, 3 yuan each. Because I can't climb with my schoolbag!

When I went up the mountain, I met an old lady with a stall. After asking for directions, I promised her to buy some things when I went down the mountain.

To be sure, although the pomelo 5 yuan is really not expensive, considering the weight, I only bought a bag of dried sweet potato, 3 yuan. It's crispy and delicious, which is better than the ordinary supermarket. On the way, a friend bought 3 bags of oranges from another old lady, and 5 yuan was not very expensive.

I would like to say that if you see a stall in the scenic area, you can buy some at the right price! In scenic spots, local people are not the main beneficiaries of mass tourism, but the main undertakers of environmental costs. Buying things from local people is not only good and cheap, but also brings them practical help and support.


After visiting Wulong Village, go back to the last stop, Tianzi mountain scenic spot. It is said that the scenery is similar to that of Helong park. However, there are few tourists. I think I have enough time to stay.

Because I was short of time, so I went directly to Tianzi mountain and began to visit Helong park. Helong park is a large sculpture, and then a group of tourists are taking photos of tourists. I don't think it's interesting. But Helong park has several viewing platforms, the scenery is really good!


The peak of Tianzi mountain is another style!



My "Climbing Stick" was bought for five yuan on the first day. It's strong and durable. It's not a pity to throw it away after playing. If you buy a 15-30 yuan "professional" Climbing Stick, it's a pity to throw it away with trouble.

There is a McDonald's and hamburger on the top of the mountain in Tianzishan scenic area. The price is two or three yuan higher than that in the urban area. It can be regarded as the most cost-effective restaurant in the scenic area. It's almost noon here. McDonald's has two floors, but there are very few customers in the restaurant.


Tianzi Pavilion, which mainly sells things, has a good viewing platform on the roof.

The instant noodles made of giant salamander are too much to eat~


Go down the Tianzi pavilion to Wolong mountain. Wolongling is 8000 steps long, with a drop of 700 meters and a total length of 5000 meters. Xiao Chen told me that his legs would be broken the next day when he went up the mountain along this road. Because I can get to Shili Gallery directly from here without going back, I took the risk that I couldn't go to Tianmen Mountain the next day and went down this road (in fact, I took a small amount of money to go up the mountain in the process of going down, but it was easier than I thought. I arrived at Shili Gallery in less than two hours. It is suggested that the middle-aged and old people with poor physical strength should not try it easily. Although this kind of strength is acceptable for young people, after a day, their legs begin to ache.) You can also choose sedan down the mountain!


On the way down the mountain, there is no scenery.

It's easier to get to the Shili Gallery than you think. Shili gallery can choose to walk or train. Because I'm one-way, it's OK to walk out directly. If you are going to and from Shili Gallery, it is recommended that you take a small train first and then walk out. Because you can listen to the explanation and make a general understanding.

The gallery of Shili gallery is 5 kilometers long, with verdant trees and fragrant wild flowers on both sides of the canyon; It is like a huge landscape painting scroll, hanging side by side on Qianren cliff, so that the beautiful natural wonders can be integrated into the ink painting of Xianshi painters. Entering the Shili Gallery, there are many scenic spots along the way, such as turn attic, birthday greeting, old man collecting herbs, husband and wife holding children, three sisters peak and so on.

The famous "old man collecting herbs".


Walking in the valley with so few people is a comfortable thing in itself.


The movie "catching the demon" was shot in Shili gallery.

Out of the Shili Gallery, take the green car to Wulingyuan exit, ending the tour of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park! Looking back on the past two days, Xiao Chen's performance was quite unexpected. She accompanied me throughout the whole process of taking photos and explaining. She was very serious, without any extra points or shopping. I was very satisfied~

In the park, there are mountains, water, beautiful scenery and monkeys. Two days too hasty, forest park, will come again!


After taking the minibus back to the city and putting away my luggage, the housekeeper of Zhangjiajie took me to the local famous Hunan restaurant, master Hu's three pots, Zhangjiajie cuisine - three pots!

It is said that during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court called on the Tusi soldiers from western Hunan and Hubei to fight against Japanese invaders. Just in time for the new year, the Tusi king ordered the Spring Festival to be celebrated one day ahead of schedule, so bacon, tofu and radish were cooked in one pot, which became "three pots" later. Nowadays, the three pot cooking in Zhangjiajie is no longer the one pot cooking of bacon, bean curd and radish, but mostly the sausage, pork tripe, beef tripe, mutton tripe, pig's feet or pig's head meat. Three of them are specially processed by local local local cooks and cooked in one pot. The taste is very good!

Almost every restaurant in Zhangjiajie has three pots! But if you want to say the most famous, you have to count master Hu's three times! Master Hu sanxiaguo has three stores in the urban area, one of which is close to Zhangjiajie bus station. You can see it when you get off the minibus. The location is very good!


Xiao Chen wolf and I ate two meat and two vegetables. It's only 80 yuan, 40 yuan per capita. It's really worth it( Ignore the fuzziness of the third pot)


In Zhangjiajie City, I chose hetianwan inn. This inn has the highest score (4.7 points) around the railway station, with warm rooms and exquisite facilities! Solid wood floor, furniture, my room is also equipped with a computer, off-season less than 200 can live in this hotel, has a very high cost-effective, to some extent, this shop has reached the four-star level!

Room equipped with desktop, running quite fast!

In the hotel hall, guests can drink tea for free and chat with the innkeeper~

Hotan Bay Inn, beyond my expectations, the check-in experience is very good, highly recommended!



Day 4: get up early and walk to the next station of Tianmen Mountain cableway. Ten minutes later, take the cable car. After visiting the east line and west line of Tianmen Mountain, go down the mountain, and then taste master Hu for three times. Take the bus to Fenghuang County and enjoy the night view of Fenghuang from the balcony.

Listen to some people say, Tianmen Mountain to line up at four in the morning! You can't go up the mountain after eight o'clock! I'm shocked to hear that! But we should keep calm in everything. We asked the boss of hetianwan inn. He said that it was the peak season. Now it's not a problem to go at eight or nine o'clock in the off-season!

I think it should be almost the same, but considering that there is still a 3:30 bus to Phoenix in the afternoon, in order to have more time to play in the mountains, I still go out early at 8 o'clock and walk to the next station of Tianmen Mountain cableway.

Hetianwan Inn has a good location. It's ten minutes walk to the cableway station. There are shoe covers at the door. Don't buy them! Because glass plank road provides free shoe cover!

Tianmen Mountain peak season tickets: 238 yuan, 165 yuan discount tickets;

225 yuan in off-season, 138 yuan in discount ticket. Tickets are very expensive, and the discount rate is very small in off-season. Considering the large cableway up and down the mountain, I think it's cost-effective.

But in fact, it is not recommended that you come here in the off-season (12.1 ~ 2.28 the next year). Although there are few people, you can only visit the scenic spots on the mountain, and you can't walk through Tianmen cave! Many people didn't know the news until they arrived. In addition, the glass plank road may also be closed due to the weather, so it can be said that there are not too many visitors to Tianmen Mountain in winter. But come all come, don't see how worthless!


Tianmen Mountain is the highest mountain in Yongding District of Zhangjiajie, only 8 kilometers away from the city. It is named after Tianmen cave, a natural wonder. The main peak is 1518.6 meters, which was approved as National Forest Park in July 1992. To Tianmen Mountain, you must take the cableway from the only cableway station. The capacity of cableway is 1000 people per hour, which is very limited. This is also the reason why they need to queue up early in peak season!


Through the woods, you can see the rugged mountain road.



After seeing the mountain road, the cable car became steeper obviously, and below it was the abyss that could not be seen to the end.

One way cable car 30 minutes, there is a sense of endless.

Tianmen Mountain tour is divided into East and West routes. Generally, the group members leave after watching half of the tickets, but I will never waste the tickets like this. If I want to see it, I will see it all!

A: East Route (Biye Yaotai scenic spot): big cableway upper station → shengshengshenyu → North overlooking Tianmen → yunmengxianding (the highest peak of Tianmen Mountain, overlooking the rise and fall of mountains, urban clouds) → lingquanyuan (a foot of Lingquan water, a few drops of plum blossom rain) → zuiyun Pavilion → happy forest → Shimen Suo Cui → Xianyuan → love of wood and stone, "Hard stone beech" should be tested in the middle of the test) → fairy sitting (laughing at eight immortals) → cherry bay (experiencing fairy mountain food) → guantianmenshan Temple (project under construction, the first temple in Western Hunan) → return to the ropeway on the middle line

The east line is 3.7 km long, with the vegetation experience of virgin forest as the main part and the unique forest space of Tianmen Mountain as the experience.

B: The west route (wonderland of seeking immortals scenic spot): big cableway station → lingxiaotai (climbing to Sendai to start the journey of seeking immortals) → yihongguan → Guigu Tiankeng → Guigu bingpan (sharing learning method with Sun Bin pangjuan) → Yefu treasure (Exploring the mystery of Li Zicheng's treasure burial) → xiaotianmen → maneuvering (heaven and earth are overcast and sunny) → watching Guigu Cave (looking at the hanging gate on the mountain wall, Feel the spirit of the ghost Valley) → qiuerdong (throw a stone into the cave, one for the son, two for the daughter) → cherry bay (experience the fairy mountain spirit meal) → return to the ropeway on the middle line

The west line is 2.7 km long, with human landscape as the main part. You can feel the mystery of Xianshan culture and hermit culture in Tianmen Mountain.


It takes about 3-5 hours to finish the East and West routes. Generally speaking, half a day is enough, but we must reserve the time for the return ropeway and waiting!



The annual temperature on Tianmen Mountain is 6 ~ 8 degrees lower than that at the foot of the mountain. At this time, the snow is still covered on Tianmen Mountain, and the cold is pressing.


Zhangjiajie Tianmenshan road is very dangerous, much more dangerous than the original Aizhai road leading to Hunan and Guizhou, and the cost is amazing. The total length of the highway is about 10 kilometers, and the cost per meter is about 10000 yuan (about equivalent to the unit price of Expressway). Therefore, the cost of the whole Tianmen Mountain Road has exceeded 100 million yuan.

There are ninety-nine sharp turns in the Panshan highway in Tianmen Mountain. The most dangerous section was successfully built after scientific demonstration and design. You can see the precipitousness of the highway through the pictures.

Panshan road in Tianmen Mountain is the only way to Tianmen cave. All newly imported cars are driven by experienced drivers. There are professional procedures and standards on how to control speed, how to meet cars and how to turn corners. Therefore, it is very safe to take the environmental protection vehicle of Tianmen Mountain scenic spot on the winding road of Tianmen Mountain. Since the opening of Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area for several years, there has never been any safety accident on the winding road of Tianmen Mountain.


The glass plank road is the biggest gimmick of Tianmen Mountain. Many people even think that the glass plank road is in Zhangjiajie Forest Park, and use it to have a look at Zhangjiajie.

In fact, the glass plank road is only 60 meters. It is built close to the mountain. At the foot of it is a dense jungle. It is still some distance from the abyss!

Some people take crazy self portraits by the fence, while others stagger and dare not pace. How about the glass plank road, you still need to explore~


From another angle, the glass plank road seems very scary~

At this time, the sky is very overcast and the clouds are multi-layered, which is suitable for silhouette~

Out of the glass plank road, the sky became blue gradually.

From the glass plank road to the end of the east line, we have to walk a long road along the mountain.



The confluence of the East-West line is Tianmenshan temple, the highest temple in Zhangjiajie. Here you can take a small cable car directly back to the cableway station (starting point), or take the west line back.

Tianmenshan temple is a large group of temples. There are dozens of temples to worship.





Facts have proved that the breathtaking degree of the western route and the beauty of the scenery far exceed those of the eastern route! If you are short of time, you can only take one line, then come to the west line!





It's hard to imagine that the two peaks would be so close.


Look at the cable bridge from a distance.


Tianmen Shandong west line has glass plank road, due to weather reasons, the west line is closed.

Yunmengxianding, you can take the elevator from the cableway. There is a good viewing platform on the top floor of the building.


About two o'clock, I was ready to go down the mountain. When I went down the mountain, I didn't wait more than three minutes in line, which greatly surprised me


Cable car down, looking at the bottomless ground, or pinch sweat.

Maybe Zhangjiajie is the hype of Zhangjiajie, or maybe the warriors fell in love with this land. From the development to now, Tianmen Mountain has been challenged by human beings

In March 2006, the Russian Air Force aerobatic performance was staged in Tianmen Mountain. The heavy fighter Su-27 and Su-30 have created amazing legends with passion.

On September 24, 2011, Jeb? Chris is wearing a wing suit to cross Tianmen cave to challenge the limit.

At noon on July 22, 2012, French roller skating master Jean Yves browndou, who is known as "French roller skating Transformers", did not take any other protective measures, only wore his own special roller skating suit and slid down from Tianmen cave. Tongtian Avenue runs from the foot of Tianmen Mountain to Tianmen cave, with a total length of 10.77 kilometers, a width of 6 meters, and a height difference of more than 1000 meters from the beginning to the end. The whole road twists and turns between the dangerous valleys, most of which are built on the dangerous peaks and cliffs, with a total of 99 sharp turns, known as "the king of China's extreme roads".

On the afternoon of September 24, 2013, a thrilling wing flying challenge performance was staged in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province. After two test flights, Jeb Collis, a flying knight from the United States, finally successfully crossed Tianmen cave, creating another extreme flight record in human history.



Hunan water chestnut sold by string, a string of 2 yuan.


Fried Baba, also only need 2 yuan.


The self-service big bowl rice means that you add seasonings and cold dishes after people fry.



Mr. Hu had a three pot meal again. Because there was no one to fight for the meal, the meal cost 55 yuan. Although it's not very expensive, it doesn't feel good after eating a pot three times. Three stars, come to Zhangjiajie must eat!

Looking at the hardworking and friendly local people, Zhangjiajie is indeed a tourist friendly city.



After touring Tianmen Mountain and tasting master Hu's three pots, I rushed to Zhangjiajie bus station to take bus to Fenghuang ancient city.

Because of my wit, and there are not many people in the car, I successfully got the first row of luxury high-end passenger, so I have the whole journey and the scenery to enjoy!


The "guide" on the bus mentioned that he would pass the Aizhai bridge. After hearing this, I was boiling all over! I quickly put up the tripod, because in my impression, Aizhai bridge is the landscape below! Four of the world's most, extremely shocking!

But in fact, that's all( The window glass is too dirty. The picture taken by the camera is very good

This is sometimes the case on the journey. Some unexpected scenery will exceed expectations, while others are full of expectations. We can't evaluate the scenery according to our imagination. It's enough to appreciate every scenery with a sincere heart.


Four hours later, the bus arrived in Fenghuang County.

Fenghuang ancient city is located in the southwest of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Hunan Province, with a total land area of about 10 square kilometers. At the end of 2010, the population was about 50000, which was composed of 28 ethnic groups, such as Miao, Han, Tujia, and so on. It was a typical minority inhabited area. As a national historical and cultural city, the national AAAA scenic spot was built in 1704, the 43rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. In 2001, it was awarded the title of national historical and cultural city. It is a famous historical and cultural city in China, a national AAAA scenic spot, and one of the top ten cultural heritages in Hunan. It has been praised as the most beautiful small city in China by the famous New Zealand writer Louis Ailey. It is comparable with Lijiang ancient city in Yunnan and Pingyao ancient city in Shanxi, enjoying the reputation of "beipingyao, South Phoenix".


In Fenghuang ancient city, the ticket is 148 yuan (the validity period of the ticket is 3 days. After the confirmation at the ticket office, the validity period of the ticket can be extended according to the requirements. Tourists of Xiangxi nationality can enter by ID card free of charge. At the same time, tourists who repeatedly come to Phoenix do not need to buy tickets within one year, and those who have bought tickets for three times are free of charge for life, The student ticket is 20 yuan. In fact, the ancient city of Fenghuang has no specific wall, which can be regarded as an area of artificial circle. Although there is the possibility of ticket evasion, the people who check the tickets are blocked at a certain intersection. If they often make detours in order to avoid the ticket inspectors, I believe the quality of travel will be greatly reduced.

To sum up, as a responsible traveler, it is not recommended to evade tickets. I also appeal to you to buy more local products from the local people, because the ancient city of Phoenix has become a national famous tourist attraction. The local people are not the direct beneficiaries of the interests, but the main undertakers of the environment.


Phoenix first sight, beauty!


Because I was too tired in Zhangjiajie a few days ago, I had to have a good rest on my first night in Fenghuang!

Phoenix water melody Diaojiaolou Hotel, is the first hotel in maheehive. Its name is atmospheric. It's a little far away from the core area of the ancient city. There is no bar around it. It's very quiet at night! It's the first choice for those who are afraid of noise! The guest rooms are warm and comfortable with complete facilities.


I choose the river view room. The house is on the river. It's very comfortable to watch the night view not far away at night and listen to the gurgling water~

Water tune song head, the house is simple, can reflect the traditional Xiangxi amorous feelings most. It is highly recommended to stay in the Riverview Room. The night is very quiet!

As I was not too hungry, I went to the "old house noodle restaurant" recommended by the innkeeper to taste a bowl of rice noodles. There are many branches in Fenghuang ancient city. The one I came to is located at the head of Hongqiao bridge.

Beef and rice noodles, 20 yuan, the most expensive in the shop. There is a lot of beef, but the whole rice noodles are simple and unadorned, a star, not recommended.


Fenghuang specialty xylose mallet, just out of the pot when the heat is quite delicious!



Day 5: sleep until you wake up. After visiting Shen Congwen's cemetery, go to happy inn. Sitting on the balcony, enjoying the Tuojiang River and looking at the map strategy. In the afternoon, I went to the ambassador hotel for dinner, and then took a long time to shoot the Phoenix day scene and night scene


When I woke up naturally, it was already noon. I was sitting on the balcony of shuidiaotou Hotel, drinking tea, watching Lonely Planet Hunan, and planning my trip in the ancient city. It was very pleasant.

Phoenix after the rain, few pedestrians.



Another specialty of Fenghuang, all kinds of rice wine. Businesses usually put wine in a gourd shaped container for you, but in fact, most of the wine sold by Fenghuang is adulterated with water, which is not recommended.

Wentao courtyard, a restaurant specially recommended by lonely planet, is located on the cemetery of Shen Congwen. Most local people don't know about it. It is famous for making tea and fasting with mountain spring water, and its price is cheap. But when I came here, this shop didn't open. It's a pity~


It's hard to imagine that such a quiet alley is crowded with tourists in peak season.
