Among the peak forests that can be seen everywhere in Zhangjiajie, the most memorable one is the Golden Whip Rock. Jinbianyan is higher than the peak forest, which is quite different from other peaks. From the mountain limb to the top of the mountain, it is like an axe, and only a few lush pine trees grow on its top. The golden whip rock in the sunset is shining with golden light, like an angry golden whip, pointing to the sky. A huge mountain peak is near the Golden Whip Rock. This giant peak looks like an eagle. The eagle's head is very high, and it spreads its wings in the air. One wing holds up the golden whip rock, which is powerful and magnificent. This is the famous "Eagle Whip Guard".
Huangshizhai
The highest peak among the peaks is Huangshizhai Village. The top of the mountain is flat, and more than ten observation platforms are formed by four Zhou Tianran. Standing on the observation deck, you can get a panoramic view of Zhangjiajie. We came to a place called the reservation desk. Looking down, it is a huge abyss. Across the desk stood eight or nine peaks, like mighty generals, waiting for the order to go out.
Jin Bianxi is a beautiful natural stream named after Golden Whip Rock. The stream winds from west to east and still flows after a long drought. Approaching Jin Bianxi, there is green everywhere, and even the clothes reflect light green. Listen gently, the water is gurgling, accompanied by birds singing. Walking, I suddenly feel cool, and then I realize that the breeze is blowing, and the fragrant smell makes you stop and savor. Crystal clear, spotless clear water, fish swimming happily, red, green and white pebbles shining in the water; Sunlight penetrates through the cracks in the forest and scatters mottled shadows on the water, giving people a kind of quiet beauty of enjoying nature.
Because of this beautiful mountain, Zhangjiajie has become a treasure house of plants and a paradise for animals. According to statistics, there are 93 families and 565,438+07 species of woody plants found here, which is more than twice that of Europe. Davidia involucrata, Ginkgo biloba and Metasequoia glyptostroboides, which are known as living fossils, are all here. There are more than 500 kinds of wild animals here, including leopard, giant salamander, golden pheasant with red belly, macaque and so on. Whether it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, whether it is cold or hot, the four seasons here are like spring and the scenery is pleasant. Large tracts of green and exotic flowers make Zhangjiajie full of computers and vitality forever.
1. What's the comparison between joining a tour group at the starting point and going directly to the tourist destination to find a self-help guide?
Objectively speaking, Zhangjiajie's scenic spots are more ornamental than Guilin and Huangshan, and the reception facilities are relatively complete, and the tourism market is relatively mature, so it is feasible to join a group tour.
Joining a tour group at the starting point can save you a lot of things, such as food, accommodation and so on, but it is not just fun. Relatively speaking, many self-funded projects and necessary shopping links are essential after joining the group. Moreover, if the guests don't contribute, the tour guide may not have a good face. This can't be changed, because all the mature scenic spots in the country are taking tours at cost or at a loss because of competitive pressure, and the remuneration of tour guides and tour guides basically comes from the second income generation of tour guides. And you don't join the tour group at will. Every place is a cursory tour.
In addition, the contract for tourists to participate in tour groups is signed with the tour agency, but the executor is the destination travel agency and the destination tour guide. There will inevitably be many mistakes in the middle, and it is impossible for travelers to take other trips outside the contract after arriving at their destination. Contract changes are also very troublesome. It is precisely because of many restrictions on joining tour groups that self-help tours are in full swing now. Because the self-help tour is unrestricted, unconstrained and very free, you can easily get it by choosing a good destination and contacting a local self-help tour guide or hotel. Compared with other scenic spots in China, self-help tourism in Zhangjiajie has more advantages, that is, you must never go to the most attractive scenic spots in Zhangjiajie, such as Tianbofu, Wulongzhai, Daguan Platform, Xianrenqiao, Tian Zi Zuodi, Rubik's Cube in the old house, pastoral sky, Yuanyang Waterfall and other elite scenic spots in Yang Jiajie. Do you believe that those friends who took part in the tour can recall whether they have been to these places?
So this post I opened is mainly about how to play Zhangjiajie Phoenix on a self-help tour.
Second, what should I pay attention to on the way to Zhangjiajie?
If you come to Zhangjiajie by train or plane, on the train to Zhangjiajie, Zhangjiajie Railway Station and Zhangjiajie Airport, there are often some people wearing uniforms (mostly pretending), or wearing the reception department, or soliciting customers in the name of travel agencies, they will ask you to join their travel agencies, or provide you with accommodation, tour guides, cars and other services. At this time, you should keep a clear head and don't associate with them easily (because they either have high prices or poor service quality and often dump customers). For those who are entangled, you can report to the waiter, or call 1 10, or call the travel complaint phone to solve it.
If you come to Zhangjiajie by car, those soliciting will try their best to discuss the package tour with you. When you drive by yourself, the first thing they have to do is to get on your car before you arrive in Zhangjiajie. As long as they get in your car, they will have a place to play, and nothing they think is impossible.
1. Hitchhikers: Most of them are girls or middle-aged women. Because most people are more sympathetic to women and easy to relax their vigilance, many men are embarrassed to refuse.
2. Pick-up location: fork roads, intersections, gas stations, toll stations and traffic police duty rooms near cities and counties around Zhangjiajie (such as Lixian, Shimen, Changde, Cili, Zhangjiajie urban expressway exit).
3. Selection objects: cars, vans, commercial vehicles, buses operated outside CMB or Zhangjiajie.
4. Reasons for hitchhiking: I'm from Zhangjiajie, and I just got a ride back to Zhangjiajie, so I can show you the way. People who don't know often think they are lucky. There are more advanced wild horses, which will appear in the form of public security, traffic police and government officials. The traffic police on duty on the roadside will be asked to stop for him, claiming to be a colleague there and working here. Now he needs to find a place to take a ride back.
Zhangjiajie scenery
Third, pay attention to the places in Zhangjiajie.
If you come by train, you will have to descend a steep step as soon as you get off the train, which will make you feel really in the mountains, hee hee. Please put your feet up and relax!
Go to the bottom and see a huge square. There will be many women or men coming around, foaming at the mouth and enthusiastically recommending how to travel. If you are from Sichuan or Chongqing, as long as you speak Sichuan dialect, these people will suddenly disperse, because the accent of Zhangjiajie is similar to that of Chongqing, Sichuan and western Hubei. These people will mistake you for a local and lose interest in you. If you can only speak Mandarin, tell them I'm visiting relatives, and someone will answer. Wow, here we go again. Birds and beasts are scattered!
Go 20 meters to the left of the exit and see the taxi in the square greet you warmly. Tell you the market, thank you. Oh, if you go downtown, 20 yuan, no matter where you go downtown. Let's find a place to rest in the city first. Zhangjiajie city is full of hotels and small guest houses. Take your time. I recommend you to find hotels on Beizheng Street and Huancheng Road. On the Woods Ring Road, from the intersection of Feng Wan to Sanjiaoping, all the water is hotels. Find a new one. . If the driver recommends for you, be careful, he will take kickbacks, and the kickbacks will naturally come from you. Impression China Southern Airlines Welfare, Tian Hong, Oriental Pearl, etc ... The prices are reasonable. Cut the peak season price from 160 to 240, cut it yourself, it's worth the price, or leave, most Samsung products are won at 200. 80 120 two-star will do.
If you can't afford to pay 20 yuan for a taxi, take a bus. From the railway station to Zhangjiajie city 1 yuan (1 road, No.2 road, No.7 road), it is not worse than taxis. Suggestions. Let's take the blue No.7 bus and tell the conductor to get off at Wenchang Pavilion. When you arrive at Wenchang Pavilion, walk up that slope and slowly find the hotel. At the end of the slope is Woods Ring Road. Or tell the conductor to get off at Feng Wan intersection, which is the end of the slope and the starting point of Woods Loop.
You'd better take the No.2 bus directly to Zhangjiajie bus station to go to the scenic spot, so as not to have trouble finding a hotel. If you want to worry, you can find a trusted self-help tour guide to help you.
If you come by plane, there is a civil aviation bus waiting for you at the exit. You can spend 5 yuan money to take you to the civil aviation hotel on Da Qiao Road downtown. If you think its route is too simple, it can take about 30 minutes to take the text from the opposite exit to 40 yuan to any corner of the city, which is too expensive? Then don't sit. It takes three minutes to get out of the airport gate. Outside 15 20 yuan is enough.
Fourth, eat and play in the city.
Zhangjiajie city is not big. But business is more developed. A relatively large and comprehensive shopping place is Guanghe Shopping Center. Recommend these two places. Guanghe Shopping Center is relatively large with clean windows, which is recommended. No matter which hotel you stay in, if you go out for a meeting, tell the driver to go shopping in Guanghe, and the fare is only 1 yuan. The first floor of Guanghe is worth a visit. There are Miao silver ornaments, which are inexpensive and distinctive. Generally, you don't bargain, which is fairer. On the corner of the first floor, there is a place selling special goods. It doesn't hurt to have a look.
On the second floor, you can buy all necessities of life. When you get out of Guanghe, you see a memorial tower and a free park on the opposite hill. When you climb up, you can see the scenery of the city. I recommend it. The mountains are beautiful and lush.
Recommend another place: Tujia style garden, which has the world's highest diaojiao building for nine days and is of great ornamental value. Ticket price: 80 yuan. In addition, Tujia Folk Customs Garden has folk performances from morning till night every day, which is an excellent place to learn about ethnic customs in western Hunan.
In addition, the starting price of Zhangjiajie taxi is 3 yuan, which is extremely cheap.
Not far from here, there is a People's Square, which is very big. Opposite the square is a temple called Puguang Temple, but the sign hanging at the door is called Baiyang Ancient Temple. Tickets to 20 yuan, with wonders inside. I recommend it. There is also a place called Xiuhuashan Museum, which is a folk museum of Tujia people. There is a collection of Tujia articles collected by the owner all his life, and the owner's town hall is still the best. Ticket price, 30 yuan.
Unique Zhangjiajie
Hungry? Why didn't you tell me? I have been nagging for a long time.
Continue to use 1. Take a taxi? Three dollars at most! Get off at People's Cinema, and there is a street in the night market. Pick a crowded place, that's right.
There is a pickle stall opposite the cinema. Look for it. Behind a facade are pots of pickled cucumbers, which are crisp and appetizing. Sour radish, drooling.
If it's noon or dusk and you don't want to eat food from food stalls or hotels, go to a place called Yinmandou to eat beef with sauerkraut. It is delicious. A hot pot for 30 yuan is about enough for three people. The location is in the alley down from the aviation school, next to the pedestrian street. If you really can't find it, go to Master Hu near the bridge and have a special dish of Zhangjiajie-Fried Walnut Hotpot. 10 yuan. It tastes like this world. Will you eat when you come? Come to Zhangjiajie for nothing!
Like to eat fish? Take a taxi near Qiaonan gas station and eat osmanthus fish in 5 yuan. The shop is called Yanbodu Fish Restaurant, which seems to be the name, just this one. Delicious, perilla leaves floating, alas ... like fish heads? When you go to Sanjiaoping, you will know where to eat fish heads if you ask casually. The soup is stewed with small cherry tomatoes in Zhangjiajie, which is quite sour in Guizhou.
