Scenic spots in Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Scenic Area

The ladder to the sky and the plank road we are walking on now have a very steep slope. The wooden planks of the plank road are very narrow and extend downward one after another, like a ladder to the sky, transporting us to a charming wonderland. We call it the Sky Ladder Plank Road. Dear guests, there are many people on the steep stairs, so you must slow down and pay attention to safety!

Looking down at the sky is great! After we reach this position, we can take a good look down at the panoramic view of the sky. Standing here, looking down, you feel excited, impulsive, shocked, shocked... Do you feel all kinds of things? When you feel pleasure, you shout. This is the name of a novel by the famous writer Chi Li, and it is appropriate to use it here. Everyone, at this moment, if you want to shout and release, you can shout as much as you want, scream as much as you want.

Three-fold swimming platform What we see in front of us is a three-level folding platform all the way down, which is thrilling and exciting. The emotions that have not been completely released in everyone's heart can be released again and continued to vent while staying on the platform for a short time. At work, in life, emotionally, as long as you shout it out, as long as you shout it out, you will be guaranteed to be relaxed.

After Wu Wangpo arrived here, the cliff in front of him gradually opened up, and his field of view gradually expanded. Looking straight out from here, we can see the entire cliff on the opposite side, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley. Behind the cliff opposite is the famous Wuwangpo Village. According to legend, Li Zicheng, with the aura of Emperor Dashun, was defeated in Beijing, then moved to the Qinling Mountains, crossed the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and went south all the way to Xiangxi. In the end, he was unable to save his life, so he was defeated and returned to seclusion, in the city of Zhangjiajie, which is close to ours. He converted to Buddhism at Jiashan Temple in Shimen County, Changde City. The Wuwangpo Village opposite is one of the ancient battlefields where Wu Sangui, who is said to be "a beauty in anger", chased Li Zicheng's uprising army and fought a life-and-death battle with the uprising army. Legend has it that Wu Sangui defeated Li Zicheng's rebel army here and killed thousands of rebels. It was one of the "evil battles" in Wu Sangui's life. The local descendants of the Tujia people named the village "Wuwangpo" based on this historical legend. The name of Wuwangpo Village is also called Wu Wangpo. The word "die" means "die of perdition", which means that although Wu Sangui took control of Yunnan after winning this battle and was named "King of Pingxi", he finally died after the "San Francisco Rebellion". to destruction. The cause and turning point of the demise, in the eyes of the local people, was right here, in Wuwangpo. Therefore, Wu Wangpo has another interpretation of the name "Wu Suipo".

Standing here in the crack of the stone wall, everyone followed my hand and pointed out. On our left, a huge stone wall stood majestically. In the stone wall, a large crack split the stone wall into two, which was spectacular. Everyone must be thinking: How did such a spectacular Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon landform form? In fact, during the Devonian period 380 million years ago, the crust of our Wulingyuan Scenic Area and its surrounding areas dropped and seawater infiltrated into it, turning it into a vast ocean. The flowing water continuously washed away a large amount of loose fine materials from the adjacent land, and together with the silicates in the seawater, they precipitated, cemented, and compacted to form the quartz sandstone rock layer. By the Permian period 285 million years ago, argillaceous limestone coal-bearing layers formed on top of the sandstone layer, covering the sandstone layer. At the end of the Triassic period 200 million years ago, strong crustal movement, or orogeny, occurred again in the Wulingyuan Scenic Area and its surrounding areas, which caused the entire stratum to fold and fracture, forming mountains that continued to rise and expose the surface. After hundreds of millions of years of water erosion, cutting and joint development, the current natural scenery of thousands of towering peaks and thousands of rocks has been formed. This is how the rock wall to our left and the huge crack in it were formed. According to scientific testing, the cracks on the stone wall are still slowly growing, but at a very slow rate. It would take 10,000 years for the cracks to completely split the stone wall into two and finally form two completely independent stone peaks. Dear friends, ten thousand years from now, let’s come to Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Scenic Area to enjoy this unique wonder.

Family portrait, please raise your heads and look towards the mountain peak opposite. You can see three scattered peaks. When connected together, it looks like a family of three standing together, welcoming everyone to the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon for sightseeing. We call it family portrait. Among the three peaks, the tallest one is the father, the shortest one is the child, and the middle one is the mother. Here, I would like to ask you a question: Take a closer look at that child, is it a son or a daughter? (Leave guests in suspense and not tell the exact answer.

)

This is a huge flying stone, standing in front of us, like a mighty Tujia man. We don't know where he came from, we only know that he followed a stone embedded in the cliff on the right. Take a closer look, everyone. This big stone inlaid on the cliff looks like a woman's head. We look at these two stones together and call them "the woman sings and the husband follows".

Thousand-year-old vines Friends who have visited Huangshizhai Six Wonders Pavilion in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park all know that Zhangjiajie has the "Six Wonders", which are the wonders of mountains, waters, rocks, clouds, animals, Wonderful plants. In our Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Scenic Area, you will fully appreciate and experience the "Six Wonders" of Zhangjiajie, that is, the six strange things in Zhangjiajie are well displayed in the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. Now, please turn around and look at the stone wall on the left again. You will find that the branches of a thousand-year-old vine cover almost half of the stone wall. Through our accurate measurement, the diameter of the ancient vine's main trunk reaches 38 centimeters, just like a girl's waist, which has witnessed the vicissitudes of more than 1,000 years. Do you think this is a surprise? ! Moreover, there is an ancient vine on the right side of the stone wall. Local people say that the one on the right is a male vine and the one on the left is a female vine.

A forest grows on the stone! Now, let’s take a look at another strange thing in Zhangjiajie: forests growing on rocks. Everyone knows that there is neither soil nor moisture on bare rocks. Without water or nutrients, it is not easy to grow even a single blade of grass. However, in Zhangjiajie, not only can trees grow on bare rocks, but also patches of trees can grow, that is, a forest can grow. You see, isn't there in front of us the wonder of "a forest growing on a stone"?

Cihang Pudu is ready! Here, we can have a good rest. This is a huge rock cover under the extended rock wall, which can completely protect you from wind and rain. Under the rock cover, a statue of Taoist Cihang stands quietly. Taoist Cihang always gives us some enlightenment in life, and the spring breeze calms the rain and spreads sweet rain everywhere. Come on, let’s salute Taoist Cihang, and then take a rest so that we can continue our journey under Taoist Cihang’s blessing. Please bow and salute. During the development and construction of our Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, we attach great importance to the original ecology here and try our best not to destroy every plant or tree here. You see, above our swimming trail, a fallen pine tree blocked our way. In order to protect nature, we did not cut down this tree, so we had to bow to nature. Please bend down and walk through this section of the tour. However, you must pay attention to safety. Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon

Zhonghua brand natural air conditioner, when we walked here, why did we feel the cool breeze blowing on our faces? ! Oh, it turns out there is a natural cool wind cave at the corner of the tour road. As we all know, there are many natural caves in Zhangjiajie, such as Huanglong Cave, Longwang Cave, Jiutian Cave, and the more beautiful and distinctive Xuansi Cave that our company will soon develop. The temperature inside the cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is different from the temperature outside the cave. Therefore, tourists and friends call it Zhonghua brand natural air conditioner. Everyone can enjoy natural air conditioning here.

The winding paths in the secluded forest make the cicada noises quieter, and the birdsong mountains become more secluded. The path we are all walking on now twists and turns, twists and turns, as if there is no end. Walking on such a tour, listening to the crisp chirping of birds, the powerful cicada calls, the faint sound of streams at the bottom of the valley, and all the natural sounds of nature, if it is not a kind of physical and mental enjoyment, what is it? Woolen cloth?

Chuangwang Pavilion A wind and rain pavilion with Tujia architectural style appeared in front of us. This is Chuangwang Pavilion. It is said that after the battle between the rebel army of Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui's troops on the opposite side of Wuwangpo, countless legends and stories were left to the entire Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. Based on these legends, local people built many pavilions and pavilions inside and outside the scenic area, such as Chuangwang Temple, Chuangwang Pavilion, Chuangwang Village, Chuangwang Temple, etc., to provide shelter for passers-by. Secondly, it is to commemorate Li Zicheng, the hero of the peasant uprising. The Chuangwang Pavilion where we are resting now is just one of them.

Southern Hongqi Canal (start from Chuangwang Pavilion, talk while walking, be sure to remind tourists of their safety, and also pay attention to the personal safety of the tour guide and commentator) Okay! After resting, we all came to enjoy the second most beautiful scenery in Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon - the Southern Red Flag Canal, and then enjoyed the spectacular Tianhe Falls at the Tianhe Observation Deck. You see, on the left side of our tour is a water channel, which is about one meter wide and about one meter deep. The water flow is 0.5 cubic meters per second. This is the Southern Red Flag Canal. As we all know, in northern my country, the heroic people of Lin County, Henan Province built the famous Red Flag Canal, which is called the "Artificial Tianhe" by the world and is known internationally as the "Eighth Wonder of the World." In particular, the Red Flag Canal spirit of "self-reliance, hard work, unity and cooperation, and selfless dedication" has influenced generations of Chinese people. The Southern Red Flag Canal in front of us allows the spring water from Shenquan River to meander on the cliffs with a total length of more than ten kilometers. It is an artificial miracle created by the Tujia people of Sanguansi Township and embodies the spirit of Sanguansi Township. The blood, sweat and tears of the people. The original name of the Southern Hongqi Canal was the Xiyukou Water Conservancy Project. Construction started in 1964 and took seven years to complete. It was completed in 1971, allowing the people in the eight surrounding villages to solve the problems of rice field irrigation and drinking water. At that time, a total of 990,08 workers were required. Based on the current minimum standard of 50 yuan per worker, the labor salary was a full 50 million yuan. Today, the entire Sanguansi Township market town, township governments, primary and secondary schools, shops, and residents still use it as a source of drinking water. Therefore, everyone is advised to pay attention to protecting the cleanliness of water quality. During the construction of the Southern Red Flag Canal, the local people fought hard and paid a huge price, especially the old man Xie Jialv, the commander of the project construction who is still alive. He returned from the army and gave up his family to provide food and housing for everyone. The construction site lasted seven cold and summer days. At the same time, five people, including Cao Decheng, Du Fangpu, Yang Liujing, Hu Sheng'an, and Shen Changwen, sacrificed their lives during the construction of the project and left their souls on this beautiful land forever, which deserves our eternal memory. OK! Dear friends, let’s look for the construction remains from that year. Please take a look. On the stone wall, a slogan stands out: Learn from the people of Dazhai, follow the path of Dazhai, work hard and be self-reliant. Continuing forward, we will also find many quotations from Chairman Mao on the stone walls, such as "China should make greater contributions to mankind", such as "Gather up all your energy, strive to reach the top, and build socialism as quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively as possible." "Pingxuan", such as "If you are poor, you want change, ××revolution". Unfortunately, the two words in front of "revolution" are no longer identifiable due to the peeling of stones and the erosion of wind and rain. (Due to space limitations, the tour guide can flexibly and selectively reduce the explanation content by nearly half.)

Tianhe Observation Deck The volleying observation deck we are currently in is the Tianhe Observation Deck. tower. Standing here, you can not only view the scenery of the entire Grand Canyon from both sides, but also enjoy the spectacular Tianhe Falls. Under the sunlight, a rainbow of seven colors will always form on the Tianhe Waterfall, which is dazzling and dazzling. When everyone takes photos here, be sure to pay attention to your personal safety and avoid crowding and competing for photo opportunities.

Cuitan Waterfall Turn back from the Tianhe Observation Deck and continue walking down. When we get here, another spectacular view of our Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is waiting for us to enjoy. This landscape is called Cuitanlan Waterfall. You see, the emerald green water in the pool reflects the silhouette of the human figure, as if he has stretched out his arms to embrace the waterfall falling from the sky, and wants to hold the waterfall in his arms. We call this pool the Sun Moon Lake; this waterfall we call the Sun Moon Waterfall; the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon; the stone in front of us is called the Sun Moon Stone.

Rest pavilions and tourist toilets In order to protect the natural environment and reduce unnecessary environmental pollution, we have only set up three tourist toilets in the entire scenic area, and this is the first one. Friends who need to "sing" are invited to the left. Friends who need to rest can sit down and rest in the pavilion.

The wooden bridge that we are all crossing now is the first wooden bridge across the stream on our tour today. We call it a safe bridge. The railings of the wooden plank bridge are made of bamboo poles, so it is also called the bamboo bridge. Standing on the bamboo bridge, you can not only listen to the roaring stream under the bridge, but also enjoy the various beautiful scenery of the Grand Canyon from front to back, left, and right. This is another beautiful scene in the scenic area that is worth taking pictures.

Standing on the Peaceful Road Bridge will not only make the rest of our journey safe, but also allow us to think about two of the five unsolved mysteries of the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. Dear friends, please face the top of the stream, which is the source of the stream, Shenquan River, and look at the scenery in the distance. The altitude of Shenquan Creek is over 400 meters. Historically, the rivers around which wooden boats can travel are all thirty miles away from here. The altitude of these rivers is below 150 meters, which is 200 meters lower than the outlet of Shenquan Creek. There are not only no reservoirs, but also no small ponds in the entire upper reaches of the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. In other words, there are no wooden boats at all. Why are there rotten boat boards in the spring water of Shenquan Creek? This is the first of the five unsolved mysteries of Zhangjiajie. What's even more amazing is that no matter it rains or droughts, the outlet of Shenquan Creek has a large flow of spring water. When the water volume is smallest, the air flow rate is more than 0.5 cubic meters per second. When the water volume is large, the air flow rate is more than 0.5 cubic meters per second. It can reach ten cubic meters per second. Based on the climatic conditions here, scientific calculations show that such a large flow can only be achieved if the water area reaches 200 square kilometers. In fact, the water area of ??Shenquan Creek does not exceed 20 square kilometers. Where does such a large amount of traffic come from? This is the second of the five unsolved mysteries of the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. At five o'clock in the afternoon on May 12, 2008, more than two hours after the devastating earthquake in Wenchuan, Sichuan, the flow of spring water in Shenquan Creek suddenly increased, more than double that of that morning, and a large amount of mud emerged from the outlet. . After this phenomenon was discovered by the local people, everyone exclaimed! God! The mystery of Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon has become more and more profound in people's minds.

Soundproof Stone To the left of the direction we are heading, outside the swimming trail, there is a huge stone standing here quietly as if it is flying, blocking the noisy and roaring sound of the stream from outside, leaving us with a comparison Quiet world, we call it soundproof stone.

The waterfall viewing area and water play area are ready! Dear guests, we have now arrived directly below the Tianhe Falls. This is not only a waterfall viewing area for admiring the Tianhe Falls, but also a water play area specially set up for everyone. You can stand here and look up at the Tianhe Falls, and appreciate the artistic conception of the great poet Li Bai's poem "The water flows down three thousand feet, it seems like the Milky Way has fallen from the sky." You can also walk along the trail to the stream, play in the water, and mingle with the stream. Get up close and personal with the waterfall. Moreover, when looking up at the waterfall, the seven-color rainbow across the waterfall looks more spectacular and gorgeous. The seven colors are superimposed on the waterfall in order and appear in an arc, which indicates that our life will become more and more exciting. However, when we look up at the scenery, we must pay attention to our feet and pay attention to safety.

Zhuxian Spring and Zhuxian Temple Friends who want to experience the immortal style, please come here and let’s explore the magic of Zhuxian Spring and Zhuxian Temple. Follow this spring and go upstream. After walking over the irregular boulders, you cross the wooden bridge and climb the wooden ladder to reach a small pavilion in the mountain. This is Zhuxian Temple, the birthplace of Zhuxian Spring. On the pillars on both sides of the pavilion, there is an interesting couplet: three sips of white water from the spring tea, two mountain men from the Zhuxian Temple. Looking back at the place where the stream flows, one pool after another is constantly superimposed and surrounded by layers. It is not a fairyland, but it is better than a fairyland.

Sanzhudao, Qianqiutian, and Ganoderma lucidum bathing. When we came here, we found that on the right side of the tour road, there was an arc-shaped stone wall of the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. Because of the overflowing waterfalls for thousands of years, As a result, a rock cover with jagged edges is formed, just like a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum taking a bath. We call it Ganoderma lucidum bathing. Below the bathing place of Ganoderma lucidum, that is, at the bottom of the stone wall, as the waterfall falls, interlocking pools are formed, which we call Qianqiu Tian. On the right side of Qianqiu Tian, ??there are actually three rice trees growing in the water pool. It is said that these were specially given to us by the Queen Mother in the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. Because, in such a dark and humid canyon, it is impossible for rice to survive. Friends who are interested in rice growth can also sit down on the stone bench on the left side of the tour, take a rest, and study carefully. Is the survival of these three rice plants related to the mysterious and looming cave above the rice plants?

When we come here to see the barrel cliff, we look to the right and are surprised to find that a natural barrel-shaped cliff is formed here. It is neither man-made nor washed by waterfalls. Done. At the same time, only grass grows on the entire cliff, but no trees. What is going on? Even geologists and botanists cannot give an accurate explanation.

This is the third of the five unsolved mysteries of our Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon.

The flying fox comes down the mountain! On the opposite side of the stream, on top of the rock wall, another waterfall overflowed to form a rock cover. This rock cover is completely different from other places. It looks like a flying fox flying down from the mountain. You see, its head, its hind limbs, and the fleshy wing feathers connecting the hind limbs and forelimbs are particularly lifelike. Therefore, we call this scenic spot Flying Fox Down the Mountain.

Dear friends of Shenquan Gorge, please note that when we walk here, you will find that the canyon suddenly shrinks in this section and becomes narrower and narrower. This very narrow canyon is called Shenquan Gorge, with a total length of more than 300 meters. In Shenquan Gorge, we have to pass through two water curtain waterfalls. Please protect your cameras, cameras and other valuables to avoid getting wet and damaged. Also pay attention to your steps and walk slowly, as this section of the boardwalk is very slippery.

After the immortal washed his face and passed through the first water curtain waterfall, we all looked back and saw that the rock cover extending above the waterfall formed a silhouette of the head, which looked particularly like a fairy wind. The arrogant old man is washing his face. We call it Immortal Face Wash.

The wooden bridge of the Willows and Flowers Bright Bridge spans the stream. It is the second cross-stream wooden bridge in our Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. It connects the narrow Shenquan Gorge. We call it Shenquan Bridge. Everything has twists and turns, dark willows and bright flowers, and constant changes, so we call Shenquan Bridge the Bridge of Dark Willows and Bright Flowers. Let us go from the right side of the stream to the left side of the stream and continue to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Grand Canyon.

After passing the Shenquan Bridge at the Pearl Wall, please stay and make a short stop. Please see, in front of us, on the stone wall, there are many plants and grasses growing. The spring water from the mountain flows down along the stone wall with a uniform flow, forming white leaves on these grass blades and branches. The crystal water drops, do you think they look like pearls? Tourists and friends call this stone wall the Pearl Wall, a stone wall covered with pearls.

Butterfly Spring Waterfall The waterfalls in our Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon have various shapes and styles, and are too numerous to count. You see, we came to the bottom of a waterfall again. The lower part of this waterfall flows through trees and grass. Butterflies dance here all day long, so it was named Butterfly Spring Falls. Unfortunately, we could only see part of Butterfly Spring Falls. Above the waterfall, the momentum of its flow and fall is even more spectacular. Unfortunately, our sight is blocked by the protruding stone wall, so we can't appreciate it. We can only leave a mental imagination.

The Weimi Cave is on the opposite side of the canyon, on the right side of the direction we are heading. The local people say that there is a cave there with a small entrance, but a large and beautiful cave inside. At that time, some people discovered the cave entrance and entered the cave after being injured while exploring. Later, more than one person entered the cave, and many people got lost inside. But now, our scenic spot has sent people to explore and investigate many times, but they can no longer find the entrance to the cave. This mysterious cave has become the Mystery Cave, and it has also become the fourth of the five unsolved mysteries of our Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. As the saying goes: if the three paths are perfect, all the wishes will come true. We now crossed the stream again and were on its right side again. This is our third cross-stream wooden bridge in the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, and it is also the last cross-stream wooden bridge on our tour today. By walking across the Wishful Realization Bridge, our dreams can become reality. I am here, on behalf of our scenic spot, to sincerely wish everyone that all their wishes will come true, everything goes well, their families will be harmonious, and their lives will get better day by day.

Yanziyan asks everyone to stay, turn around, and look in the direction of my finger. Opposite us, on the distant stone wall, a huge rock cover stands there. This is Swallow Rock. There are thousands of swallows' nests on the rock walls of Swallow Rock. This kind of swallow is smaller than ordinary swallows and is called rock swallow. It never lives in ordinary homes. Usually, the bird's nests we eat are not produced by barn swallows, but by this kind of rock swallow. However, no one has ever picked the thousands of bird's nests in Yanziyan, and it is not known whether there are any bird's nests on them. The rope hanging from the top of Yanzi Rock is only about ten meters away from the edge of the bird's nest. The scaffolding built from the bottom of Yanzi Rock is more than a hundred meters away, so it is not easy to get up. Therefore, no one has been to Yanziyan yet.

Buddha’s hands covering the sky and a curtain of dreams. We are going through the water curtain waterfall again. The difference is that this water curtain waterfall is not only huge, but also formed by a rock cover extending from the opposite side of the stream. This water curtain waterfall is very long, like a long dream, we call it Yilian Youmeng.

In the middle of a curtain of dreams, we stopped for a moment, turned around and took a closer look. Under the huge rock cover, due to the secondary overflow of water waterfalls, stalactites were formed one after another, among which the stalactites were concentrated together. Five stalactites, seen from the other side of the stream, look like a huge hand covering the entire sky. What palm can cover the sky? Only the Tathagata's divine palm can do this. Therefore, this landscape is named Buddha's Hand Covering the Sky. At the same time, here, we can also see the beautiful colorful rainbow above the waterfall on a clear day.

Banchuanyan, please look into the stream. A huge stone stands in the stream. Let the water stir, I remain unmoved. This is the Bad Ship Rock named after the many broken ship planks that flowed out of the Shenquan River were blocked here.

The charcoal kiln ruins have not been known to outsiders since ancient times, although our Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon has high mountains, dangerous roads, and crisscrossed ravines. However, a long time ago, our industrious, brave and fearless Tujia ancestors began to work hard here, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, living a self-sufficient, fairy-like life. Please take a look. On the right side of the tour, three charcoal-burning cave dwellings are arranged in sequence, showing us the diligence and wisdom of the Tujia people.

Bandit Cave, Castles in the Sky, Yixin Pavilion, and Tourist Toilets. You may have seen the TV series "The Bandit Suppression in Wulong Mountain", "Once Upon a Time in Western Hunan", "Bloody Xiangxi" and the movie "The Bandit Suppression in Western Hunan". Learn something about the bandits in western Hunan. There is a saying at home and abroad that the thieves in Guandong, the Tatars in Hebei, and the bandits in western Hunan are called the three major bandit troubles in China. Among them, the bandits in western Hunan are especially famous for their bravery, fierceness, and killing without blinking an eye. Before liberation, bandits in western Hunan were particularly rampant, committing murder and arson, and committed all kinds of evil. This was actually a product of the historical conditions at that time and the result of the government forcing the people to rebel. People seem to have this view: as soon as the word "bandit" is mentioned, it will immediately be associated with the words "devil", "monster" and other words. To be honest, if you have food, clothing, and no worries about money or food, who would want to be a bandit? You see, now that all parts of western Hunan are working hard to get rich and become well-off, will bandits emerge? The word "bandit" is a scapegoat given to us people in western Hunan by the evil old society.
