Zhangjiajie

Zhangjiajie Scenic Area*** is divided into four major areas. The four major scenic spots, National Forest Park, Yangjiajie Nature Reserve, Tianzishan Nature Reserve, and Suoxiyu Nature Reserve, are collectively known as Wulingyuan Scenic Area.

Tianzishan Nature Reserve

Tianzishan Scenic Area is located in the north of Wulingyuan, dependent on Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and Suoxiyu mountains and rivers, with a total area of ??67 square kilometers and a maximum altitude of 1262.5 meters. It was named after Xiang Dakun, the leader of the Tujia Nationality in ancient times, who called himself the Son of Heaven. It is in the prime period of the evolution history of the peak forest and is known as the "King of the Peak Forest". There are numerous stone peaks and ravines on its east, west and south sides.

Shili Gallery in Suoxiyu Nature Reserve

Shili Gallery is located in Suoxiyu Scenic Area, at the foot of Tianzi Mountain. The corridor is about five kilometers long, with verdant trees on both sides and various peaks and rocks. It is like a huge landscape painting hanging side by side on the cliff, allowing the beautiful natural wonders to be blended into the ink painting of the immortal painter. . The scenery has a peculiar shape: the quartz sandstone peaks and forests resemble human beings, gods, immortals, forests, birds and animals, appearing and disappearing in the clouds and mist, changing in a thousand ways.

Huangshi Village in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

Zhangjiajie Huangshi Village is located in Wulingyuan District, Zhangjiajie City, Hunan Province. As the saying goes, if Huangshi Village is not mentioned, it is in vain to visit Zhangjiajie. This shows the status of Huangshi Village in the scenery of Zhangjiajie. . Looking around from every viewing platform in Huangshi Village, you can see countless stone peaks and pillars, rugged and tall, forming a vast forest of peaks, which makes people feel relaxed. If you encounter the sea of ??clouds, the peaks covered with white gauze, disappearing and appearing, the snow scene is even more unforgettable.

Golden Whip Creek in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

The Golden Whip Creek Scenic Area is located in the east of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and is named after it flows through the Golden Whip Rock. Jinbian Creek merges with Pipa Creek in the west and Suo Creek in the east. It is a winding and deep canyon. There are many scenic spots to see, among which the Golden Whip Rock, Divine Eagle Guard Whip, Wenxing Rock, Purple Grass Pond, Thousand Miles Meeting, and Jumping Fish Pond are the most unique. The total length of Jinbian Stream is 7.5 kilometers, and the general tour time is about 2 and a half to 3 hours. The route along Jinbian Stream is the most beautiful area in Wulingyuan. It travels through the peaks and valleys. The stream is clear and clean, and the ups and downs are varied, making it look like the middle reaches of a painting. Known as "one of the most beautiful canyons in the world".

Best travel time

March-May, September-November. In the spring, Zhangjiajie is full of green grass. You can trace the Golden Whip Stream, visit the Shili Gallery, and explore the Huanglong Cave. You can experience the surprise of the Wuling people entering the Peach Blossom Spring. In the autumn, the forests in Zhangjiajie are dyed, which is the time when kiwis, tangerines and other fruits are ripe. Relatively speaking, summers are hot and rainy, winters are cold, and the comfort is slightly lower than in spring and autumn. But I chose to travel in January just because it snowed in Zhangjiajie and I wanted to see Zhangjiajie after the snow.

The Zhangjiajie Scenic Spot uses fingerprint IC card electronic tickets, and the National Forest Park implements a one-ticket system (248 yuan). You can visit Yangjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, Jinbian River, Huangshi Village, and Yuanjia within four days with the ticket boundary.

Tianzi Mountain - The emperor will not look at the mountains when he returns

When you are in Tianzi Mountain, you can see the strange peaks and rocks looming among the clouds and mist, as if you are in a fairyland. The majestic, strange and charming scenes always make you marvel at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature inadvertently.

Ticket check-in hall.

After getting off the ferry sightseeing bus, I suddenly saw the three characters "Tianzi Mountain". From there, I slowly climbed up the stairs to the cable car station. I went to the Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area to watch the sea of ??clouds and mist. grand scene.

Walking in the scenic area accompanied by clouds and mist, you can enjoy the scenery of the sea of ??clouds, stone waves, and winter snow. The stone forest is hidden in the sea of ??clouds, sometimes showing its head, sometimes disappearing. Faintly and vaguely, people can get a glimpse of the magic of this world. In general, if you follow the tour route and stop to look at it from time to time, you will have the sense of "leaning on the railing to see the whole sky".

After several snowfalls, the vegetation was covered with a thick layer of snow and frozen into ice, like a lifelike picture carved by God. Standing on the edge, swaying with the wind, you can feel the pure coldness of the ice and snow freely.

Only when you stand at a high place can you see the head of this stone peak peeking out from the clouds and mist. The high and low angles rise and fall with the clouds and mist, just like a fairyland. But looking at this inch of the world through my lens, you get this feeling. If you were here, you would be shocked by the majestic momentum. This should be the sense of power given to people by nature.

Looking at the way we came, the clouds and mist dispersed, and we could see the rime growing along the stone peaks so clearly. This rime is neither ice nor snow. It clings to the branches and changes into various shapes. It is really a rare natural wonder.

Judging from the geology and landforms of Tianzi Mountain, except for a layer of limestone and a very small amount of moire stone on the top of the mountain above an altitude of several hundred meters, most of the scenic spots are composed of quartz stone and are sandstone peaks. The landform is basically the same as that of Suoxiyu and Zhangjiajie. It is a sedimentary rock (water-formed rock) that gradually sank from a vast ocean 380 million years ago. Later, due to the complex and long diagenetic process, the quartz sandstone we see today with a total thickness of 500 to 600 meters was formed, forming various strange landscapes.

The scenery of Tianzi Mountain can be summed up in one word: "original scenery and natural beauty". Her landscapes and scenic spots are all created by nature, with no trace of artificial carving. Countless stone peaks, like swords and halberds, are lined up among them, and they seem to be surrounded by thousands of troops, with a majestic and unparalleled momentum. When you look at the scenery, you will have endless reverie, and you have to marvel at the uncanny workmanship of the creator.

The magic of Tianzi Mountain lies in the strange stone and dangerous peaks shrouded in smoke and clouds, such as pillars, towers, and bamboo shoots. The low ones are tens of meters, the high ones are hundreds of meters, and there are various carvings.

There are Quzi chanting, sisters whispering, husbands and wives deeply in love, immortals gathering, goddesses dancing, heavenly soldiers going out to battle, and other natural group images. The local people called the stone pillars that looked like military generals "Forty-Eight Great Generals and Forty-Eight Little Generals". They set up an eight-door lock formation and the emperor sat in court for a military parade.

Tianzi Mountain after the onset of winter and after the snow falls, the snow is heavy on the dangerous peaks, the frost is covered with pines and cypresses, and the ice cones hang upside down, which persist for a long time, just like a fantasy scene wrapped in silver makeup. It is no exaggeration to say that "if you don't visit Tianzi Mountain, you will miss Wulingyuan".

Tianzi Mountain is located in the hinterland of Wulingyuan, and its terrain is higher than its surroundings. Everywhere in Tianzi Mountain, you can relax and look far into the distance. In addition to the vast field of vision, you can also see the rich layers of rocks, and you can have a panoramic view of the landscape covering a hundred miles in radius. Tianzi Mountain is not only dangerous, but also gives people a sense of mystery and tranquility. It is especially famous for its stone forest wonders.

Shili Gallery - Visiting the mountain gorge is like being in a painting

It is located in Suoxiyu Scenic Area. On both sides of this valley, which is more than ten miles long, there are rich natural landscapes, and walking along it is like being in a painting. Beside the ditch is a screen of peaks, and the rocks on the mountain have formed more than 200 stone landscape shapes that resemble people, objects, birds and animals. Attractions: Peacock in full bloom, old man collecting herbs, longevity star welcoming guests, tiger roaring to the sky, turning to the attic, fairies worshiping Guanyin, and reading books to the king.

The Shili Gallery Sightseeing Train is a battery transportation car in the Zhangjiajie Shili Gallery Scenic Area. It allows tourists to better appreciate the beautiful scenery of Zhangjiajie Shili Gallery, and is also a major feature of the Shili Gallery. Since the road in the scenic area was slippery after the snow on the day we went, the train was temporarily suspended, so a few of us walked on. Breathing in the air rich in negative oxygen ions, while breaking the dripping ice from time to time, it is really not too pleasant.

As early as the Ming Dynasty, someone wrote a beautiful saying: "When you travel in the mountains and gorges, you feel like you are in a painting." Walking in it, you can feel the magnificence of each scene in the gorge. Nature, the master of sculpture, has used his uncanny craftsmanship to create rare treasures in Shili Gallery. It is like talking about every stone peak here. It's art, not to mention that it can be transformed into a fairy tale and mysterious world.

The old man collecting herbs.

There is a 100-meter-high stone peak standing sideways, looking like an old man wearing a square scarf and a long gown, carrying a basket full of herbs on his back. In a trance, I seemed to see the old man's bright eyes staring at the mountain, thoughtfully, and also as if he was surprised, as if he suddenly discovered that a strange medicine had appeared in the world, and there was a medicine king "Sun Simiao". Old Man Rock is one of the famous landscapes in Shili Gallery.

Looking west from the gallery, there are two peaks running from high to low, running north to south. Looking from a distance, it looks like a tiger with its head raised high and roaring towards the sky. This is the famous landscape of Shili Gallery, Tiger Roaring to the Sky. The Golden Mouse is looking at the sky. It is hibernating diagonally opposite the Tiger Roaring Peak. Its peak is like a Golden Mouse. I saw the rat's eyes wide open, its ears erect, looking up at the blue sky, staring for a long time, even for hundreds of millions of years.

Looking across from Nantianmen, you can see three thin stone peaks, shaped like beauties, standing tall and graceful, hence the name "Three Girls Peak". The third peak of Sannv Peak is especially wonderful. There is a milk eye with a diameter of about 1 meter on the chest of the peak. Through the hole, you can see the skylight behind the mountain. It is like a mirror hanging high on the stone wall, and like a girl wearing a crystal clear mirror. jade ornaments.

At the end of Shili Gallery, you will encounter the lively macaques. The place is full of rugged rocks and green trees. There are often hundreds of monkeys gathering here in small and medium groups, so it is called Monkey Slope. . When tourists come here, they often see groups of monkeys climbing and playing on the cliffs, either among the trees or on the ancient roads in the mountains. Some are blindly climbing and jumping on the vines, and some are sitting alone on the rocks scratching their ears and cheeks. It makes tourists smile and have endless interest.

For an hour, we traveled back and forth between Shili Gallery and encountered groups of monkey cubs. They were like detached elves in the canyon, making tourists laugh. The wonders in this world are all indelible. The stone peaks reach straight into the sky. We look up and imagine the stories and legends that we still want to tell because of this. These are all the magic given here.

Huangshi Village - Climb to the top to see all the small mountains

When you look at Huangshi Village, you will know that the world is vast; the clouds and mist are shrouded in it, making you feel like a fairyland. Huangshi Village is also called Huangshi Village because the whole mountain looks like a brave lion. At an altitude of more than 1,200 meters, you can see the cliffs all around. It is the best and largest viewing platform overlooking the sandstone peaks and the best place to watch the sunrise.

Entering the scenic spot from the Zhangjiajie Forest Park ticket station, the first thing you see is the stone tablet that reads "World Natural Heritage, China's First National Forest Park-Zhangjiajie", which makes people daydream about it. The natural scenery of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is remarkable for its peaks, secluded valleys, and beautiful forests. There are more than 3,000 strange peaks among them. These stone peaks are like people, animals, utensils and objects. They are lifelike and magnificent. In the canyons between the peaks, streams gurgling and thick shade block out the sun. It is known as "Three Thousand Wonderful Peaks and Eight Hundred Beautiful Waters".

According to legend, Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Han Dynasty, lived here in seclusion and suffered a calamity, but was rescued by his master Huang Shigong, hence the name Huangshi Village. Huangshi Village covers an area of ??250 acres and is the largest and most concentrated viewing platform outside Zhangjiajie Forest Park. There are more than 20 main viewing spots. There is a saying that "if you don't go to Huangshi Village, you will miss Zhangjiajie."

Stepping on the snow that had just fallen a few days ago, I carefully climbed up the stone steps. I thought there were not many tourists at this time of year, but as I walked, I always met tourists from different places. Everyone was wrapped in thick coats, and from time to time their puffs of white hair flew away with the light wind. Standing on a high place and looking at the strange peaks standing under my feet, the surroundings are dotted with snow hanging tightly on the peaks. The snow must have fallen freely a few days ago, covering them with their original colors. There is only one piece of snow left between the sky and the earth. Vast white.

Walking in Huangshizhai Scenic Area, apart from the strange peaks and rocks, the most hilarious thing is the wild monkeys running around everywhere. When the temperature is several degrees below zero, they will always huddle up together to keep warm. Often the young monkeys hang tremblingly on their older parents. I really can't bear to see them blinking their round eyes on the snow. In addition to the curled-up baby monkeys, there are also older monkeys who are clinging to each other to catch lice. They will push aside the brown hair and look for them with their hands. Once they find it, they will quickly put it into their mouths... Well, this This level of proficiency will always make you laugh.

The wild monkeys encountered at the "Double Door Welcome" are behind the "Star Reaching Platform". The Double Door Welcome is located 100 meters away from the entrance of Huanglong Cave. It is two natural cave doors side by side. It is called the most perfect cave door in the world. The star-catching platform is an arc-shaped observation platform at the east end of the top of Huangshi Village. It is located at an extremely high position, facing the 100-meter abyss, and is the only commanding height of Huangshi Village. Climb up to the star-catching platform carefully against the wind, lean on the iron fence, and look around: the valley below, the sky above, and the vast white peaks, which makes people feel the magnificence and miraculous craftsmanship between heaven and earth. Wonderful. If the bright moon is in the sky, the sky is full of stars and you can reach out to pick them. This is true: the saying of "reaching for the stars".

Standing at the "Double Door Welcome" and looking at the "Star Reaching Platform".

We walked slowly along the stone steps. The sun gradually broke through the clouds, and the snow quietly melted under our feet. Everywhere we stopped and looked at the distant peaks and forests, it was different. In addition to sighing at the magic of nature, I was also at a loss for words and could not find a more suitable word to describe it. After a few classes, the woods under the strange peaks were covered with layers of snow that could not melt. It seemed that the world was a wonderland that no one could reach, but we were bystanders, watching and imagining that something magical would happen. matter.

The "Nantian Pillar" is a solitary peak more than 200 meters high in the valley and peak forest in the southeast of Huangshi Village, just like a jade pillar holding the sky. The upper part is dotted with shrubs, the middle part is naked, and the lower part is covered by trees. The peak is round and majestic. It is named after it stands under the Nantian Gate. This standing stone pillar seems to hold the sky with one end and plunge into the earth with the other. It is truly a masterpiece of nature’s uncanny craftsmanship.

Every time I go to a viewing platform, I always look at the name of the corresponding landscape engraved on the stone tablet standing nearby, and then use my imagination to get closer. It seems that every place is different, yet inexplicably the same. Is it the snow on the peaks and the green trees swaying in the wind on the distant peaks? In a daze, I became a small thing in this time.

As mentioned, go to Zhangjiajie and Huangshi Village. In addition to observing the magic created by nature, I was more awakened by hindsight. It turns out that life can give people a sense of happiness very easily.

Maybe it’s the cluster of green on the mountain peak, or the little monkey that jumped up to your feet, or the innocent smiles and encounters you gained during this journey where you didn’t expect much... Yes, Traveling to different places will always make it easier to understand your own insignificance and perceive the beauty of this world.

Most people choose to go there in summer and autumn. The reason why I went in January is simply because it snows in Zhangjiajie and I want to hear whether the sound of falling snow is the same as the rhythm of snow in the north. different. Thinking back to those days when I traveled to and from Zhangjiajie Scenic Spot, I shivered, but more importantly, I was wrapped in layers of tenderness. I can’t explain why I felt like this. In short, it was that scene of heaven and earth that gave me the most real feeling. .

After walking for more than an hour in Huangshi Village, I finally returned. Near the ropeway, I met wild monkeys squatting on wooden railings or beside trees. They were still huddled together for warmth, or They enjoyed catching lice for each other... Suddenly they felt that there were only these simple things in their world, which were actually beautiful. If you say "If you don't go to Huangshi Village, you will miss Zhangjiajie", then it is still necessary to visit Huangshi Village.

Xibu Street Inn - a resting place hidden in the mountains and streams

In the winter in the south, the sun rises, the blue sky and the misty clouds; it is also the white snow blanket that has fallen all night Covered with green bricks and gray tiles; it is also the familiar yet unfamiliar feeling when we meet again. After a seven-hour drive, accompanied by wind and snow, I finally met Xibu Street again, encountered the winter in Wulingyuan, and the warmth of winter with fallen snow.

Xibu Street is located in Wulingyuan District, Zhangjiajie, adjacent to Wuling Avenue in the north, along the 400-meter waterscape of Suoxi River, adjacent to Zhangjiajie Grand Theater in the east, and Baofeng Bridge, the main road to Baofeng Lake, in the west. It is the only complex tourist and commercial pedestrian street that integrates a floating bar street, Chinese famous snack street, Xiangxi folk shopping boutique street, leisure inn, creative workshop, etc. It is an unreplicable cultural tourism collection in the core scenic area of ??Wulingyuan.

Walking on the streets of Xibu Street, there are buildings with wooden structures and gray tiles on both sides. The building facades incorporate the traditional languages ??of the Tujia and Miao people through artistic reprocessing and simple abstract deformation. As a constituent element of architectural expression, the facade style is unified and simple. The overall planning combines the layout of streets and courtyards, uses the combination of building shapes and volumes, and uses the linear accumulation theory as the principle to carry out organic layout. The architecture strives to be romantic, elegant and transparent, embodying fashionable and simple temperament, while also meeting functional and aesthetic needs.

In Zhangjiajie at the end of January, after several snowfalls, the road was slippery, and the cars leading to Zhangjiajie were notified of suspension on the day we were going to go. Suddenly, we felt that Zhangjiajie actually It has truly become a fairyland, a fairyland isolated from our world. But we were unwilling to do so and carpooled to Zhangjiajie accompanied by the falling snowflakes. So, seven hours later, as the night grew darker, we finally arrived at the Xibu Street Inn. Xibu Street Inn is a resting place for leisurely strolling; a good place to relax while enjoying the winter.

During the few days we stayed at the Xibu Street Inn, as soon as we had some free time, we sat around the wooden piles on the first floor of the inn, leaned on the soft sofa, and cooled down a little bit. Fortunately, my feet were warm, and my knees were itchy due to the fire. Maybe you are wondering, there is no heating in the south, only air conditioning. How can it be like this? You forgot that there is such a thing as a brazier~ However, there will be a brazier with charcoal fire under the wooden table, and the wooden table will also be covered. A soft tablecloth, this tablecloth is thick, soft and warm. I think that if there were no pots of charcoal fire throughout the winter, the days would be much less tender.

There is a misty weather outside the window. Through the mottled glass, it seems to be a completely different world from the house. The house is orange and the window is glowing with blue light. We are hiding in In the inn, after a cup of tea, I suddenly felt that braving the snow and the slippery road to Zhangjiajie was not a disadvantage. Instead, I encountered a different emotion.

Xibu Street Inn is located in the Xibu Street neighborhood of Zhangjiajie’s core scenic area. When you open the wooden door of the inn, you will see the rich Chinese-style decoration style. It looks like a small pavilion on the outside, but inside it is a courtyard with a courtyard. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a unique cave.

You can choose to spend an afternoon in the coffee and book bar of the inn, while warming yourself up by the fire; you can also choose to have a cup of fragrant tea in the Chinese tea art bar and chat about the past with friends in the inn; of course, if you When you are hungry, order a hot pot, accompanied by the aroma of steaming meat, and your life will be satisfied in that moment. Staying at Xibu Street Inn is like home, where you can spend some time relaxing and comfortable.

You can take the elevator straight to the fourth floor. Of course, my room is on the third floor. When I open the elevator door, I look up at the patio-style courtyard. The guest rooms opposite are tightly closed and the hanging branches and leaves are swaying. The sun shone brightly and made mottled shadows. I was in a daze, always thinking that I could have a place like this to live as much as I wanted.

Looking down, there is a door. Layers of snow have fallen on the gray tiles. It has melted, and the small plants in the flower pots are also thriving. We are all the same, longing for sunlight; we are different, living alone with emotions.

The inn *** has 45 guest rooms, each of which has a different style and characteristics. There are small scenes and green courtyards everywhere, because of the saying: The beautiful woman is reflected in the bamboo shadow through the small window. Passed by, the rain was falling outside the banana curtain. The entire inn uses central air conditioning, 24-hour hot water, and WiFi in the entire area. Staying at Xibujie Inn is a good place for you to relax. The window of the guest room is the square of Xibu Street. When I get up in the morning, the sun shines in through the window screen. I get up to say hello to this early morning... only to see that there are already dancers rehearsing in the square. With the morning light, everything Warm and beautiful, such a clear and transparent winter day is really hard to put down.

The world outside the inn balcony is a different kind of existence. In the distance are the mountains and forests stuck in the morning mist, and in the distance are the snow rising on the green tiles... It seems that here, warming up by the fire and watching the snow are the most important things at the moment...
