Five-day Tour in Hunan: A Guide to Five-day Tour in Hunan
it's not a walk-and-go trip, but it's been planned for a long time. Four years of college is coming to an end, and it is difficult to get the most relaxing holiday. It is also to relax or something, so I chose to leave this holiday.
I have been longing for Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang ancient city for a long time, so I came to Hunan as my first stop. I bought a train from Changchun to Changsha, set off at 9 o'clock in the evening and arrived in Changsha at 2 o'clock in the morning the next day. Fortunately, a friend came to pick me up, settled down for a meal, slept until dawn, and spent a day in Changsha.
I woke up after 9 o'clock, so I had to find a place to stay first. Because I was going to Zhangjiajie the next morning (January 18th), I found a hotel near the railway station, settled down and had dinner. It's convenient to take the subway to orange island first. The scenery in Orange Island is quite beautiful, because it is winter and there are no oranges to eat.
there are many people, but walking on the mainland is relatively quiet. Walking towards the distant rivers and ships, I felt the breeze and other tranquility. At that moment, my heart was quiet and impetuous. I only walked to the west side, where there was a statue of Chairman Mao. Because I was in a hurry, I walked to sightseeing bus, and it cost me 2 yuan to come back.
I went to the next scenic spot, Yuelu Academy.
when I came to Changsha, I had to visit the college. It was about three o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, the sun occasionally felt a little hot. College entrance fee. After visiting the academy, I went to Yuelu Mountain, Aiwan Pavilion, stayed in the temple for a while, and then went down the mountain. Hunan University is located here, and I have a brief look at the scenery of Hunan University. After going down the mountain, I ate some snacks and took a bus back to the hotel. I will go to Zhangjiajie the next day.
The next day, I went to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, which is Wulingyuan Scenic Area. This is a place with a different name and two entrances. Ticket price is 16 in the off-season, and student ticket is 82. Valid for four days, with fingerprint binding.
the scenic spot is so big that you can't swim in one day, but you can swim in four days. As I only had one day, I only played a small part of it, but I thought it was worth it. Because there are two entrances to the scenic spot, one is the entrance of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, which is relatively close, and the other is the entrance of Wulingyuan Scenic Spot, which is far from Wulingyuan. I took a bus from the inn to the bus station, but I stood with the train.
I bought a ticket to the forest park, which cost more than ten yuan each. It's more appropriate to take a full car and arrive in an hour or so. After you leave, you need to walk inside for a while to get to the ticket office. After you buy a ticket, you will find a large number of monkeys are super cute and want to feed them. The staff there said not to feed them.
If so, a large number of little monkeys will come and surround you, unable to get away, and will scratch tourists. As it turns out, monkeys here can rummage through tourists' bags. During the later visit, a little monkey jumped into a tourist's bag when he called the monkey for soldiers, but it didn't work. Later, in a tourist rest area, a female tourist opened the bag containing snacks, and a little monkey flew in the distance and snatched the snacks from the tourists' arms, and then ran back. Then, a dozen little monkeys flew around chasing the monkey with only food.
This is probably the experience of seeing little monkeys, so I can write about it. Of course, these little monkeys are cute.
huangshizhai takes a cableway up the mountain. I bought a round-trip ticket and forgot how much it cost. After going up the mountain, I visited the whole scenic spot of Huangshizhai. Huangshizhai walked on the mountain and looked at the distant peaks, forming various scenes. For example, in the nature gallery, fairy flowers are scattered. It's interesting to go to different places and see the peaks from different angles.
After visiting Huangshizhai, go to Jin Bianxi. Jin Bianxi is walking on a path at the foot of the mountain. There is a stream next to it, and the sound of running water is suspected of whipping, hence the name Jin Bianxi. The scenery seen on the mountain is different from that under the mountain. Because there are few tourists in winter, it is quiet to walk at the foot of the mountain, and the air is fresh, giving people a different feeling. Maybe it's because of the foggy weather in Shan Yu. It feels like an empty mountain after the rain. As early as in the mountains, my friends asked me why I didn't like the mountains in my hometown. I said mountains are different from mountains. Nature's uncanny workmanship, mountain peaks, various poses and natural different moods.
After swimming in Phnom Penh Creek at night, we stopped walking, and took the eco-car to the exit of Wulingyuan Scenic Area. I took a photo there, so I went back to Zhangjiajie by car.
I went to Tianmen Mountain the next day. There are three ways to Tianmen Mountain. There is a ropeway company in Tianmenshan National Forest Park near the railway station. The first way is to buy tickets here and take the cableway up the mountain, and then take the cableway down the mountain.
the second is to buy tickets here. The third way for passengers to go up the mountain by cableway is to go up the mountain by car and down the mountain by car. Of course, no matter which one you choose, you have to go to the ropeway company in Tianmenshan National Forest Park to buy tickets.
I choose the cableway to go up the hill and the cableway to go down the hill. Because it was raining at that time, the mountain road was euphemistic and unsafe if you took a bus. After the cableway went up the mountain, the tour began. Because the glass plank road was repaired in winter at that time, only one side was opened.
I only went to one side of the glass plank road, not the 999 stairs. Look at the mountains and rivers in the National Forest Park. Looking at Tianmenshan Forest Park again, I feel different.
The peaks in National Forest Park are steep, rugged and steep, while the peaks in Tianmenshan Forest Park are continuous and hazy, giving people a different kind of calm beauty. Moreover, the mountain is cold, and there is a feeling that it is too high to be cold.
Finally, I went to the most cherished glass plank road because of the rain. And there is fog, so the plank road is not so clear and scary.
it snows in the north and rains in the south in winter, and sometimes it turns into ice when it falls on the ground. Therefore, books will become ice, and glittering and translucent is also an extraordinary beauty.
I visited Tianmen Mountain for about three hours. I went down at 12 o'clock and bought a ticket to Fenghuang Ancient City from Zhangjiajie Railway Station. There is no direct ticket to Fenghuang Ancient City in Zhangjiajie. My choice is from Zhangjiajie to Jishou. By train, there is a direct bus from Jishou Passenger Station to Fenghuang Ancient City. Very convenient.
arrive at the ancient city of Fenghuang, around 6 pm. I went to the south gate of the ancient city by bus. Arrived at the pre-booked inn. The reservation is Linjiang Inn. The scenery is particularly beautiful.
After arriving at the inn, the innkeeper suggested that we could go to Feng Wu Scenic Area for a bonfire party. There is a shuttle bus, 5 yuan per person. The price was right, so we went to see it. Compared with other ancient cities, the biggest feature of Fenghuang Ancient City is that all local aunts or grandmothers in the city will ask you, "Do you want to braid your hair in A-mei? Does A-mei get dressed and take pictures? Is A-mei going to the party? " At night, children will hold roses and say that their brothers and sisters will buy one, which is a kind of pleading.
I don't know if other friends who have been to the ancient city of Fenghuang feel this way, but I think it is not conducive to the physical and mental development of children.
let's talk about the bonfire party. It's a beautiful party and worth visiting. When we arrived at the meeting, we first sang with A-mei. It's simple. Let's sing together. The second level is that everyone will take pictures. Of course, this is a local custom. When we leave after the party, we need to pay the fee voluntarily.
During the party, a calligraphy auction will be held, and local calligrapher Xiangyang will be invited to personally write a book. Whether Quanping wants to buy this or not. I often attend parties because interaction makes it more meaningful.
I sat in the front row of the venue and attended the opening lighting of the party. Later, tourists were invited to take the stage to learn Amei's drums. Two men and two women came to the stage. First of all, they often wear ethnic costumes.
There will be witchcraft performances at the party, such as burning various places, such as catching corpses in Xiangxi, which are accompanied by people.
after the party at 9 o'clock, I went back to the inn and ordered a takeaway. Then I started the ancient city post for a day and a half, that is, taking pictures everywhere. You don't have to go to the eight scenic spots in the ancient city, but you can come to Phoenix to feel the tranquility and customs of the border town written by Shen Congwen.
but now the ancient city is indifferent. It is said that when Zhu Rongji nominated Phoenix instead of the ancient city of Phoenix, it was because the city was undergoing transformation and commercialization at that time, and it did not mean the ancient city.
But I came anyway to see where I was fascinated by the innocence, kindness and true love in the book. Because Shen Congwen's former residence in the city is not the real former residence, and he only swam across the mountains in Zhangjiajie, only walked around the city, went boating in Tuojiang, and didn't go anywhere else. The vegetation scenery in the city is still memorable.
After visiting Phoenix, I took a bus back to Jishou at Chengbei Bus Station and bought a train from Jishou to Kunming. Next, I will write a travel note about Kunming-Dali-Lijiang-Chengdu. This is just what I saw and felt during my trip. This chapter is very long. Thank you for your suggestions!
