Climb Tianmen Mountain on a rainy day, listen to the rustling rain, see the scenery, another heaven and earth. The air is fresh, the laughter is loud, and the sky is very lucky to see Tianmen again.
The following is a review of Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park: Natural landscape shock - unique landform: belongs to the karst platform landform, surrounded by cliffs, towering peaks, creating a "sky garden"-like magnificent landscape, which is rare worldwide. - Tianmen Cave Wonder: The world's highest altitude natural mountain cave, high131.5 meters, wide 57 meters, cloud and mist like "Tianmen vomit fog", the glow is even more fantastic when the hole is pierced, which is called a geological wonder. - Rich forest vegetation: forest coverage is 90%, with the world's rare alpine community, as well as rare plants such as money scorpion, twist rhododendron, known as the "repository of plant living fossils". Deep humanistic heritage - Buddhist culture: Tianmenshan Temple on the top of the mountain was built in the Tang Dynasty, is the largest Buddhist holy place in northwest Xiangxiang, and is also one of the five temples that worship Buddha Sheli in the world. The incense has been extended for thousands of years, and the ancient temples and seven-level floating slaughter are hidden in the forest. - Historical legend: The legend of the "Tianmen Cave Open" during the Three Kingdoms period gave birth to the setting of Tianmen County; the legend of Ghost Valley once reclusive in Ghost Valley Cave, and the legend of Shennong Yushi Chisinko cultivation also added mystery to the mountain secret. Rich travel experience - thrilling projects: the ghost valley plank road hangs over the cliffs of a kilometer, and the glass plank road overlooks the abyss, bringing tourists a heartbeat-speeding thrill experience, while allowing people to enjoy the sea of clouds and the strange peaks, thrilling and poetic coexistence. - Convenient access: The main attractions are connected by mountain escalators, cableways and eco-cars, and even the elderly or children can easily climb to the top and enjoy the convenience of "not climbing the mountains". - Four seasons of scenery are different: spring to enjoy the flowers bloom like a white dove, summer to avoid the heat in the cool forest sea, autumn to see the red leaf layer dye, winter to see the smog snow scene, all seasons have a unique charm, no matter when you go, you can harvest different beauty. Attentive service in the scenic spot - Management standard: the scenic spot is clean and tidy, the signs are clear and clear, and there are staff in each important attraction to guide and maintain order, ensure the safety and smoothness of tourists, even the first time visitors can easily find the attractions they want to go. - Warm service: The staff in the scenic spot are very warm and thoughtful.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park – Like Walking into a Dream ☁️🌿I visited Zhangjiajie National Forest Park on a quiet, rainy morning. The light drizzle made the air crisp and the forest even greener. Everything felt still — peaceful, almost sacred.Then, as the rain faded, the mountains slowly disappeared into rising mist. Within minutes, clouds drifted between the stone pillars, wrapping the entire valley in a soft white glow. It looked unreal — like stepping into a hidden world in a fantasy film.The towering sandstone peaks, half-hidden by clouds, felt like ancient guardians. It wasn’t just beautiful. It was surreal — calm, majestic, otherworldly. If you're lucky enough to visit on a misty day, you’ll see Zhangjiajie at its most magical.
Beautiful and expansive park with plenty of activities and stunning sights to explore. A full immersion in nature. You can choose to follow the more popular trails or venture into the inner paths, which are more scenic and natural. Definitely worth a visit!

It is worth going, sunny every day, cloudy, very fairy. It is the cableway down to make an appointment in advance to queue up to Hongyun Jinding Mountain. After getting off the cableway, walk for about half an hour to reach the mushroom stone. Go left to the red cloud golden top, and to the right is the old golden top. Go according to your time and strength!
We were lucky. It was sunny when we went. Red Yunjinding and Old Jinding climbed up, without any difficulties imagined. It was panting to walk down the plank road of Pudu Square from the cable car. Mushroom stone also looked at it, and the itinerary was perfect. Fanjing Mountain is worth a visit.

The ticket purchase process is smooth, the ticket is issued in seconds, and the price is super high! The scenery of the scenic spot is beautiful, the Miao style is strong, and the night view is especially shocking. The ticket collection guidelines are clear, the service is intimate, and the play experience is very satisfactory.
Commercialization is very strong, living in the scenic area also costs 110 yuan per person for tickets, the price is too low, inside is accommodation, eating, taking pictures, shopping, come once and will not come again for the second time

Tired of seeing the reinforced concrete of the city, come to Wulong Tiansheng Sanqiao to feel the "original force" of nature! Tianlong, Qinglong, Heilong Sanqiao stand tall, Tianfu official residence hides the martial arts dream. The whole downhill is not tired, and there are niche perspectives to make a blockbuster, and the sunset silhouette is beautiful. Tickets have discounts, remember to bring your own snacks. Come and feel the romance for hundreds of millions of years!
I prefer natural landscapes to popular check-in spots. I marvel at the wonders of nature. It is spectacular and beautiful. The whole journey takes about 1.5 hours. It is very pleasant to be in nature. There are running buses from Wulong to the scenic area, which is very convenient. After entering the Fairy Mountain Reception Center, take the mountain bus to the entrance of Tiansheng Sanqiao in ten minutes. Take the bus back to the reception center at the exit. The ticket is 15 yuan.

The Yangtze River Cableway provides great convenience for pedestrians to cross the river, and it can cross both sides in a few minutes. Originally, the cableway was a transportation, and now it has become an Internet celebrity attraction. Many films and TV dramas have seen the Yangtze River Cableway. There are only a few seats in the car, and most people are standing.
Play Suggestions - Choose the right ride time: avoid peak passenger flow during holidays and weekends. If you want to enjoy the night view, you can go to 19：30-22：00 in summer and 18：30-21：00 in winter. - Select the location: Take the cableway from the South Station to the North Station to stand on the right, and you can stand on the left from the North Station to the South Station, which is convenient for punching in the Dongshuimen Bridge and Huguang Assembly Hall complex. - Play with surrounding attractions: Jiefangbei, Hongyadong, Shancheng Trail, etc. near the North Station; Near the South Station, there are Longmen Haoli Old Street, Xiahaoli Old Street, Ciyun Temple, etc.

What kind of bicycles do you need for 25 yuan? Most animals have, that is, there are too many people. Prepare mosquito repellent, and the mosquitoes are too fierce! Dating can walk the baby. Twenty-five can watch elephants, pandas, tigers, lions, penguins.
Especially good, the ticket is only 25, you can see so many animals! There are also several pandas, but we went in the afternoon, many of them may be too hot! Not coming out! The Penguin Pavilion was quite looking forward to it, but there are only two little penguins that are not good-looking! Other tigers and lions are very good! There are a lot of animals, and the ice mineral water is only three yuan!

Enshi Grand Canyon is still very good, it is recommended to buy a package of 370. Park the car at about 9:00 in the morning, buy the ticket in advance and swipe the ID card directly, take the bus for about 2 minutes, then change the ground cable car, about 5 minutes, then you can take the cableway directly up the mountain, in the morning tour Qixing Village, that is, four mountains and three valleys, follow the signs, do not have to go back. About 12:30 can take the escalator down the mountain. In the afternoon, you can swim to the Yunlong ground seam. You can get back to the car at about 4:30. The scenery is beautiful.
The scenic spot is very large and the scenery is beautiful, but it feels like the road is a bit detour. It is recommended to buy a package ticket, all the transportation is sitting, otherwise the physical strength of the average person is inescapable. Personally think that you must have a sunny day to visit here, otherwise the scenery will be greatly discounted!

Came on June 26, 2014. Phoenix has historically been the political, military, economic and cultural center of "Great Xiangxi". Here, the famous people are out, and the ancient city style is also preserved in the original flavor. Therefore, the ancient city of Phoenix is a must-see attraction. When you come to the ancient city of Phoenix, it seems to have entered the Border City under Shen Congwen. The amusement project here first promotes "Lijiang River rafting". Climbing from the North Gate Pier, boating on the Lijiang River, the river is full of water, and the hanging buildings on both sides of the Straits are looming, like a beautiful ink painting unfolding slowly in front of you... After landing, walking in the alley of the traffic in the ancient city of Limo, and meeting the former residence of celebrities and historical old houses unexpectedly. Feeling the young time of Shen Congwen's birth in Sichangyusi, and instantly understand the strong rural feelings of "Border City"; strolling along the ancient city wall, or looking at the exquisite craftsmanship of Miao Yin, or pretending to take pictures of bandits, are very interesting experiences. The ancient city of Phoenix at night is another scene, becoming a world of light and shadow like a simple flower. The neon and folk songs of the bar, the tourists who shuttle back and forth on both sides of the Lijiang River, and the ancient city is injected with a different lively atmosphere, "the more beautiful the night." Therefore, although the ancient city of Phoenix is not very big, but there are games during the day and night. It is recommended to stay here at least one day and one night. If you stay, it depends on your personal preference: if you don't like the lively, I hope to sleep well at night, then choose a hotel outside the ancient city.
✨ Phoenix Ancient City is really an unforgettable place. 🚄 The transportation is very convenient. The high-speed rail goes directly to Phoenix Ancient City Station. After leaving the station, you can reach the scenic spot soon. 🌆 The ancient city has a beautiful scenery. The Lijiang River passes through the city. The river is leisurely. The hanging buildings on both sides of the Straits are antique, like a natural ink painting. In the morning, I took a boat on the Lijiang River, foggy, like a fairyland; at night, the lights and the river water were shining, beautiful. 🍜 The food is also endless, sour soup beef hot pot, blood duck, rice tofu, etc., each of which has its own characteristics and a great taste. Here, you can also feel the strong historical and cultural atmosphere, Shen Congwen's former residence and other humanistic attractions, making people seem to travel through time and space and talk with history. Although the commercial atmosphere of the ancient city is strong, as long as you feel it with your heart, you can still find many primitive beauty. In short, the ancient city of Phoenix is worth a visit, and I don't want to go when I come.

There are a lot of people, and it's pretty nice at night, but the name is very loud, and there are actually not so many amazing places and programs after entering. There are many snacks, and the food is not cheap. It's okay to pass by and take a look.
I hesitated with my child and didn't choose to go in before 4:30 when the ticket was 20 yuan, but went in after 7:30. The ticket was 88 yuan, which I think is worth it. The ticket is valid for three days. On the first day, I stayed from almost 8 o'clock to more than 9 o'clock. I watched the fairy scattering flowers, crying wedding, and the love tragedy of the brother and sister (forgive me for not remembering the program list). The child wanted to go again on the second day, so we played from more than 9 o'clock to almost 11 o'clock. The bonfire party around 10 o'clock was very exciting. It was rare to see the Bumblebee robot dancing with the Qing Dynasty zombies. It was also very happy to dance the waving hand dance together. In short, I think it's great! There are also many foreigners, who dance very happily. Ah, there is also a security guard who is very good at dancing subject three.
