Dali is a city that makes people yearn for it. It has magnificent natural scenery and unique Bai culture. As a photography enthusiast, I am deeply attracted by the beauty of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. **The water quality of Erhai Lake is crystal clear.**  It is the most pleasant enjoyment to take a boat tour and enjoy the lake and mountains. The ancient city of Dali is well preserved, and the Bai dwellings, the reflections of the three towers, the wind, flowers, snow and moon and other attractions have their own characteristics. **The three towers of Chongsheng Temple are the landmark buildings of Dali. The thousand-year-old towers have witnessed the historical changes of Dali**. The Bai architecture and tie-dyeing craftsmanship of Xizhou Ancient Town show the unique charm of Bai culture. **Dali's food is also not to be missed. Rushan, Baba fish, bait blocks, etc. are all authentic Bai delicacies. Dali, a city that makes people linger.**

 "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below", Hangzhou has a long-standing reputation. As a railway travel enthusiast, I took the high-speed rail to Hangzhou, and my first stop was of course the world-famous West Lake.  The ten scenic spots of West Lake each have their own merits, such as Broken Bridge and Residual Snow, Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake, and Sunset over Leifeng Pagoda, which are all unforgettable. Stroll along the Su Causeway, enjoy the scenery of lakes and mountains, and feel the humanistic atmosphere left by the Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo.  The ancient temple of Lingyin Temple and the grotto statues of Feilai Peak show the profound Buddhist culture of Hangzhou. West Lake Longjing tea is a specialty of Hangzhou. Taste a cup of authentic Longjing in Meijiawu and feel the artistic conception of "the breeze and the bright moon are priceless, and the nearby water and distant mountains are all affectionate". Hangzhou, a city that makes people yearn for.

It turns out that the North Ruyi Gate has the least people, the most flat roads, and is closest to the painting. Most importantly, the number of steps after walking this route is only about 11,000, and it takes more than 3 hours. If you don't want to climb the slope or squeeze in the crowd, Beiruyi Gate is undoubtedly the best choice as the entrance👍  Route: Beiruyi Gate👉 Banbi Bridge👉 Suyunyan City Gate👉 Painting Tour👉 Mountain and Lake Light on the Same Floor👉 Paiyun Gate/Yunhui Yuyu Archway👉 Yaoyue Gate👉 Leshou Hall👉 Dehe Hall (passing by)👉 Xiqu Garden👉 Ziqi Donglai City Gate👉 Renshou Hall👉 Zhichun Pavilion👉 Wenchang Pavilion👉 Seventeen-Arch Bridge/Nanhu Island👉 New Palace Gate  Tips: 1. The opening hours of the Summer Palace are 6:30-18:00 in the off-season, but it should be noted that the Painting Tour and other fee-charging courtyards are closed at 17:00.  Peak season (April 1st - October 31st): 6:00 am - 7:00 pm, the painting tour and fee-paying courtyards are open from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm. 2. The entrance ticket is 20 yuan per person, and the combined ticket is 50 yuan per person. The Summer Palace is very large and you can't visit it all in one day. It is recommended to buy only the entrance ticket. Other fee-paying courtyards can be entered on site. (Note: The entrance ticket is 30 yuan per person in the peak season, and the combined ticket is 60 yuan per person) 3. There are 6 gates in the Summer Palace. As mentioned earlier, entering from the North Ruyi Gate is the best choice. Let's talk about the entrances and exits of other gates:  3a. Beigong Gate is closest to Exit C of the subway station, but there are more people queuing here during peak season and weekends, and if you go the wrong way from this gate, you have to climb up and down all kinds of hills and ridges. If you have difficulty walking, choose carefully... (The advantage is that this gate is closest to Suzhou Street and the Four Continents)  3b. Donggong Gate is closest to Xiyuan Station and is the entrance that many tour groups like. Xinjian Palace Gate has fewer people, but the disadvantage is that it is a bit far from the subway station, and you need to take a taxi or bus directly to get there. Ximen and Nanruyi Gate are far from the main attractions. If you are not staying in Beijing for a long time, it is not recommended to enter from these two gates.  4. If you want to take pictures of "golden light through the hole", 4-5 o'clock is the best time to shoot ~ but it is best to go to Nanhu Island before 4 o'clock to get a good seat.

Zhangjiajie is divided into three major scenic areas: Tianmenshan National Forest Park, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and Grand Canyon Glass Bridge  🔺D1: #Tianmenshan National Forest Park [Location]#  Tickets: 278 yuan for adults, 147 yuan for seniors and students, including the cableway fee It is divided into Line A and Line B. The difference is whether to choose the large cableway to go up or down. It is recommended to take the large cableway up the mountain on Line A. The whole journey takes half an hour and the scenery is very good  · 🔺D2/3: #Zhangjiajie National Forest Park [Location]#  Tickets: 228 yuan for adults, 116 yuan for seniors and students. The ticket can be entered repeatedly within four days, including the eco-friendly car in the scenic area, but the cableway and Bailong Elevator (72 yuan) are at your own expense  There are a total of 5 ticket stations in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. We chose the route of the reverse tour group. Enter from Yangjiajie Ticket Station, there are few people and beautiful scenery throughout the journey, happy~  🔺D2 Sightseeing Spots: Yangjiajie, Yuanjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, Bailong Ladder, Shili Gallery, Tianzi Mountain ▲Morning Yangjiajie Ticket Station→Visit the Natural Great Wall→Yuanjiajie→Visit Avatar Mountain Yuanjiajie→Optional Visit Yuanjiazhai Here is a super niche treasure attraction! It is called Cang Hai Sang Tian, ​​just in front of the Hallelujah Floating Mountain in "Avatar". The scenery is really amazing. The cliff terraces surrounded by clouds and mist in the thousands of feet of peaks are very spectacular. It's like accidentally breaking into the world of immortals in the novel. No wonder the locals call it "the mirage that never ends". There are also authentic Tujia people's villages and various intangible cultural experiences. Listen to Tujia rap, eat snacks, and have fun~ In short, it is very worthwhile~ ▲Afternoon Bailong Sky Ladder→Go down to Shuirao Simen→Take a small train to visit Shili Gallery→Tianzi Mountain · 🔺D2/3 Accommodation: I have been planting my grass for a long time, and I finally checked in this time! The homestay is about 5 minutes away from the Yangjiajie ticket station by car. It is really a paradise. The homestay is surrounded by a green bamboo sea. The window is painted, and with the morning mist, it is like a fairyland! You can also see the starry sky at night, which is really beautiful! The boss was considerate and enthusiastic. He drove us to the entrance of the scenic spot and prepared the guide for us in advance. Haha! The free breakfast was very rich, and dinner was also ordered at her house. They were all local specialties, super delicious~  🔺D3 Sightseeing Spots: Huangshizhai, Jinbianxi Morning: Yangjiajie Ticket Station → Eco-friendly Car to Longfeng Temple Upper Station → Wooden Plank Road Crossing the Forest and Walking to Longfeng Temple Lower Station → Eco-friendly Car to Huangshizhai → Cableway to Huangshizhai Tour Afternoon: Take an Eco-friendly Car at the entrance of Huangshizhai to the Oxygen Bar → Walk along Jinbianxi → Oxygen Bar · 🔺D4: Grand Canyon Glass Bridge + Huanglong Cave + Charming Xiangxi  Tickets: Adult package 219 yuan.

🔥Zhangjiajie Travel Zhangjiajie Guide Summer Vacation Travel Zhangjiajie Food Zhangjiajie Homestay  I have been looking forward to traveling to Zhangjiajie for a long time! ❤️I have summarized the guide of Zhangjiajie to help you avoid pitfalls!  ⚠️Notes on traveling to Zhangjiajie: 1⃣️Stay away from black tour guides. There are many "black" tour guides in Zhangjiajie who will collude with drivers and hotels to jointly overcharge customers!  2⃣️Avoid group tours. Group tours in Zhangjiajie basically include shopping. 3⃣️Book accommodation and tour guides in advance! ❌Travel equipment 1⃣️The less luggage the better 2⃣️It is best to bring an umbrella or disposable raincoat 3⃣️Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, sun hat, and wear sports shoes .  ⏰Suggested time for travel: 5 days and 4 nights / 6 days and 5 nights 🌟Must-visit attractions in Zhangjiajie🌟 1⃣️Wulingyuan Zhangjiajie National Forest Park 2⃣️Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain 3⃣️Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon 4⃣️Phoenix Ancient Town 🔥My itinerary: 🌈DAY1 🌿Morning: First stop [Zhangjiajie National Forest Park] Ticket: 228 In the morning, go to Zhangjiajie Railway Station and take a bus to Zhangjiajie Forest Park or Wulingyuan, which runs every ten minutes and takes about an hour to the scenic area. In the scenic area, there are 🈶️cableways, elevators, sightseeing trains, etc.! 🌿Afternoon: Second stop: [Yuanjiajie Scenic Area]  At noon, you can have a buffet at the Tianqiao Restaurant next to the Yuanjiajie parking lot, 25 yuan per person✨Visit Yuanjiajie Scenic Area in the afternoon. "Mihuntai" - "The First Bridge in the World" is where Avatar🦕 was filmed! 🌈DAY2 🌿Third stop: [Wulong Village] The next morning, we went to Wulong Village, which mainly introduced the culture of the Tujia people, silverware and local customs, etc. 💦 Tianbo Mansion needs to climb a nearly 90-degree iron ladder to reach the top of the mountain!  🌈DAY3 🌿Fourth stop: [Tianmen Mountain] Ticket price 258 ⚠️Everyone must go to the ticket office to buy! Don't be cheated! 🍞Prepare food and water, and prepare some cash! Go to Tianmen Mountain on the third morning. There are many people outside Tianmen Mountain who intercept outsiders, especially self-driving tourists🌿 and ask you if you want preferential tickets. In fact, these are all scams! 🌈Day4 🌿Fifth stop: [Grand Canyon Scenic Area] The newly developed glass bridge is in this scenic area. It is recommended to spend a day here. The total ticket price for the Grand Canyon and the glass bridge is 256 yuan. 🌈Day5 🌿Sixth stop: [Fenghuang Ancient Town] Walk the "Jumping Rocks" of Tuojiang River, the small stone slab streets in the style of Ming and Qing Dynasties, stroll along the folk customs street, visit Tujia silver jewelry, and try the local special snack street! 💕Accommodation: [Wei Chi·Suyunjian] Located near Wulingyuan, the core scenic spot of Zhangjiajie It only takes 10 minutes to drive to Several red houses are scattered freely. The view is wide on the hillside, with pine forests and sea of ​​clouds 7 red boxes, a real-life version of Monument Valley built in 3 years

Let me share my experience and guide to avoid pitfalls!  🌈🌈🌈【Itinerary】 DAY 1️⃣ Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (classic must-go)  ✔️Daytime: Yuanjiajie (filming location of "Avatar", "Qiankun Pillar", the prototype of Hallelujah Mountain, the world's first bridge, etc.) - Huangshizhai - Yangjiajie - Jinbianxi - Shili Gallery (Three Sisters Peak, Herb Collecting Old Man, Tuoluo Peak, etc.) ✔️Evening: Eat authentic Tujia cuisine, Tujia three-pot, flavored shrimp, threshing skin, smoked bacon, Zhangjiajie cuisine is strongly conquered!  DAY2️⃣ Hiking in Golden Whip Stream ✔️Daytime: Hiking in Golden Whip Stream, lots of cute little monkeys🐒Keep taking photos of the landscape📸Suddenly wonder if I am 50+ ✔️Drink tea and chat in the B&B, watch the stars⭐  DAY3️⃣Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area (Tianmen Mountain Cableway-Tianmen Cave-Glass Plank Road) ✔️Daytime: The world's longest alpine passenger cableway + Internet celebrity glass plank road  ⚠️⚠️⚠️Special reminder ‼ ️Be sure to buy the A-line ticket of Tianmen Mountain, no need to queue! Save more than two hours, the queue scene is too scary ‼ ️The restaurant on the mountain does not provide lunch, it is recommended to bring some snacks to fill your stomach! ✔️Afternoon: Take a bus to Fenghuang Ancient Town🚌🚌🚌  DAY 4️⃣ Fenghuang Ancient Town——Return ✔️Daytime: Wander around the ancient town, wooden street shops, bluestone roads, Miao ginger candy is a bit spicy, many handmade silver ornaments are good. Many people take photos in ethnic costumes by the Tuojiang River. This small town with stilt houses is pretty good~  ⚠️⚠️⚠️【Special attention】 Zhangjiajie is actually about mountains and waters, but buying tickets is quite particular‼ ️ ⭕️Tianmen Mountain——In the city, buy tickets 3 days in advance ⭕️Glass Bridge——There will be a limit on the flow, and tickets must be booked in advance Everyone must wear comfortable sneakers👟Otherwise I am afraid you will cry to death 🏠🏠🏠【About accommodation】 1️⃣Zhangjiajie Mountaintop B&B-Xinwu Mountain Residence Pure white ins style + large floor-to-ceiling windows + beautiful mountain scenery, I love to sleep until I wake up naturally in the morning and watch the sunrise directly! 🌿🌈 2️⃣Phoenix must stay in Phoenix Qingxi Zen Temple‼ ️Very Japanese and Kyoto The night view is very nice, it feels very strange, and it is also convenient to go to the bar and hang out at night! . 【My personal rambling + sincere sharing】 Everyone says that there are many pitfalls in Zhangjiajie tourism, so everyone can identify it for themselves. No one will praise you for recommending good things, but even if you have personally tested good things, people will say you are a liar and a scammer if they have a bad experience with it. This is quite hurtful. I personally think it is unnecessary. If you do more travel guides yourself, you can only avoid pitfalls in travel by making fewer mistakes, but it is impossible to avoid them. I have visited so many places and I have encountered pitfalls every time.

First of all, it is impossible not to be tired! The average daily step is 20,000+. The three main players are both amateur and fun-loving. The good thing about traveling during the Mid-Autumn Festival is that the overall flow of people is okay, and the queue is within half an hour. Let me talk about the arrangement of the two-day tour (the first day is up the mountain, the second day is down the mountain). The check-in points can be seen in the corresponding pictures.  🎫: For a two-day tour, you can choose the three-cable and one-elevator package with your eyes closed. The scenic area is full of facial recognition, which is very convenient. Day1 (on the mountain) East Gate entry-Bailong Elevator (up the mountain)-Yuanjiajie-Yangjiajie-Tianzi Mountain-Tianzi Mountain Cableway (down the mountain) East Gate exit 1️⃣Bailong Elevator  Enter the East Gate and take the environmental protection for 20 minutes through the Ten-mile Gallery (don't get off the car) to the lower station of the ladder. I have watched too many videos online, and I am unwilling to take it. It's just like that after taking it, but it can achieve a quick mountain climb! It takes about 20 minutes to get to Yuanjiajie after getting out of the elevator and taking the environmental protection car. 2️⃣Yuanjiajie I would like to call it the most shocking place in the whole Zhangjiajie. Enter from the Mihun Terrace, there is a pillar of heaven and earth in the middle (the filming location of Avatar), see the hundred-yuan bill, and finally exit at the No. 1 Bridge in the World. Take the eco-friendly car for about 10 minutes to Yangjiajie. 3️⃣ Yangjiajie (optional) is a bit mediocre, some attractions are too far away and there is no time Take the eco-friendly car for about 20 minutes to Tianzi Mountain  4️⃣ Tianzi Mountain ⚠️ Be sure to tell the driver on the eco-friendly car that you want to get off at [Dianjiangtai], otherwise you will be taken all the way to Tianzi Mountain. The scenery of Dianjiangtai is definitely better. We also took the car back after arriving. After watching the Imperial Brush Peak and Fairy Offering Flowers at Tianzi Mountain, you can take the cable car down the mountain. Day 2 (down the mountain) Enter from the South Gate - Oxygen Bar Square - Huangshi Village → Golden Whip Stream - Ten-mile Gallery - Exit from the East Gate  1️⃣Huangshi Village 2h Tour We decided to walk through Golden Whip Stream, so we only walked a small circle in Huangshi Village to save our energy. The map of the scenic area shows the large circle (3-4h) and the small circle (1-2h). The core attractions are basically enough for the small circle, mainly because we were a little tired of seeing the mountain on the second day 2️⃣Golden Whip Stream (4h) The whole journey is 7.5 kilometers. To be honest, I really couldn't walk at the end... But the air and environment are really great, and it doesn't feel hot. Many people who eat snacks are super cute. 3️⃣Ten-mile Gallery (1h) We chose to take the train in and walk out. The total length is 2 kilometers. The train needs to buy a separate ticket. The main reason is that my smart mother chose to listen to the explanation on the train and then take pictures when she walked out. Otherwise, it's a bit hard to tell which mountain to look at just by looking at the signboards. ⚠️tips 1️⃣Time: If you only play for one day, it is recommended to go to Bailong Ladder-Yuanjiajie-Yangjiajie Lower-Jinbianxi. If you don't have enough energy and have more time, you can choose a three-day tour 2️⃣A lot of ⛰️ need to rely on imagination, but it really looks more and more like it, and it's still worth the trip~ 3️⃣ Be sure to wear comfortable shoes! Look at the signboards and avoid taking the wrong road
