Wanfoshan is too far from Huaihua City. It takes two hours to drive. The gate has been abandoned. Driving directly to the foot of the mountain. If the whole journey is fast, it will be an hour and two hours slow. The difference between Warrior Road and Yashi Road is that the Warrior walks along the plank road in the front mountain. It is very dangerous. Don't enter if you are afraid of heights. Yashi Road is the back mountain, not so afraid of heights. Wanfoshan scenery is still good
Overall, the scenery is pleasant and the service is good. The scenic spot is mainly built around a mountainside and the glass plank road. It takes about 2 hours to complete the trip. The scenery has the potential of 5A, which feels like Xiaolu Mountain. The visitor center is too far from the scenic spot, and there are about 8 kilometers away from the scenic spot after arriving at the visitor center. You can't make a mistake in navigation.

The scenery is good. It is very convenient to buy tickets online, the entertainment projects in the park are very rich, and you can finish playing in a day. It is best to drive in the park and walk deeper and farther.
At 6 am on August 3, the thorns were cut off, and the general rock was Dengjunyan. The mist covered the ground and everything was silent. The eyes were far away, the early clouds were slightly bright. A round of red sun, slowly rising. At the beginning, I could see, like a young child. Only a few minutes, the golden light was ten thousand. The mist was retreating and unseen. Turning back and looking back, the valley was clear. Watching the sunrise really felt a lot, when the sun rose, it felt that everything was so small, and any life was a momentary stay in front of the sun. The same sunrise has been repeated hundreds of millions of times. What can human history count in front of him for thousands of years? Any life is the same as a grass. Watching the sunrise advice: try to be as high as possible, even if the sight of a step is completely different, maybe it is a meaning of life.

There is very little commercial atmosphere in the scenic area, and the people are very simple! The scenery is also primitive! The scenic area is very clean and tidy
