I was fooled and called a tour guide for an explanation. The whole thing was over in about an hour. I paid 200 yuan and he didn't say anything. He just showed me the way and didn't know how to take photos. I went there empty-handed. I saw other tourists carrying backpacks, but there were two of us with a child, and he only covered two-thirds of the route.
This kind of natural scenery is always refreshing. Standing on the top truly gives me a sense of grandeur, a sense of peace and tranquility. My mind suddenly opens up. There are escalators, elevators, and cable cars throughout the entire route. If you're feeling tired, you can take the escalators. I highly recommend this place for a relaxing stroll.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is very big. We chose the East Gate B Line and took the Bailong Elevator first. To be honest, the ascent was really average. Then we went to Yuanjiajie and checked in at the Avatar filming location. Then we went to Yangjiajie and Tianzi Mountain, but they were very average. We waited in line for an hour and a half to take the cable car down the mountain. Bad review!
⛰️While there's no need for much mountain climbing during a visit to Zhangjiajie, you'll still be walking around 20,000 steps daily. We visited Yuanjiajie, Yangjiajie, Sky Garden, and Tianzi Mountain in that order. I'd especially like to visit Sky Garden. You'll need to take a scenic electric car to get there, but I personally think it's well worth it. The view of the Bailong Elevator across the way is stunning from this vantage point. You can slowly descend the steps to the scenic plank road, where you can literally have the entire mountain to yourself.
⛰️The mountain's climate fluctuates, so bring a raincoat. Be prepared for rain or shine.
⛰️Visiting Zhangjiajie, I marveled at the wonders of nature, its unique landscapes, and its endless beauty, leaving a lasting impression.

You need to wait for a while to scan your ID card. If you come early, you may need to wait for a while. You need to queue up everywhere, whether it is taking a car, cable car, or climbing to the top. Each link will take about 10 to 30 minutes to queue up. But this is also good. You can march quickly for a while and then take a rest. It is a good balance and you won't be too tired.

The scenery is better at night, there is nothing to see during the day. It is a place you will regret not going to, and you will regret it even more if you go. It is too commercialized and there is basically nothing to see. You have to pay to enter.
The location, environment, facilities, and service of this B&B are all excellent! It's not far from the parking lot, but the owner still came to pick us up, making it convenient to take our luggage directly to the B&B. Qingyan Ancient Town isn't very large, so the B&B is convenient for exploring everywhere, perfect for a stroll. Highly recommended!

Yes, it's worth a visit. It's too difficult to make an appointment on WeChat. During the summer vacation and weekend, I chose to join the tour group. The tour guide will contact the meeting point in advance the night before. The experience is good. The cultural and creative store is good, there are little civet cats, very cute
Mr. Tang's explanations were very thorough, and I could truly feel his heartfelt love for Hunan. The exquisite lacquerware and silk fabrics are rare in other museums, and I was truly enlightened.

I really like this set of travel. When I put it on, it happened to catch the sunset and took a lot of beautiful photos. I didn't have any thoughts during the whole trip and no one advertised. It was very comfortable.
Orange Island overlooks Yuelu Mountain to the west and Changsha City to the east. Surrounded by water, it stretches for 5 kilometers, measuring about 40 meters across at its narrowest point and 140 meters wide at its widest point, with a maximum width of just over 300 meters. Its long and narrow shape resembles a dragon. Its most famous feature is the magnificent stone statues of great men.

Guilin's Two Rivers and Four Lakes cruise is perfect for taking kids!
The evening boat ride is breathtaking, and the scenery under the setting sun is picturesque. The lights shine even brighter after dark. The Sun and Moon Pagodas are particularly stunning, and the kids couldn't blink.
The boat is very stable, and the guides tell interesting stories for the kids. The whole ride is relaxing and comfortable. The adults enjoy the scenery, and the kids have fun. It's a great value!
The intangible cultural heritage boat we took not only introduced the scenery of the two rivers and four waters, but also had the beautiful Liu Sanjie teach us to sing folk songs, and there was also an interactive singing session. Adults and children were very happy

The park is not very big, probably because it is summer vacation and it is the landmark of Guilin. When I went in at 17:30 in the afternoon, I was shocked by the crowds of people at the photo booth. It was a pity that I couldn't play in the water in the water area.
Visiting Elephant Mountain during a downpour is a unique experience. It's not without its crowds, but it's definitely better than on a sunny day. Free reservations are available. Enter through Gate 3, scan the QR code, and follow the trails to Love Island, then Elephant Mountain. We took a bamboo raft for 50 yuan per person, circling the mountain twice, and took photos with the ospreys (10 yuan for both). Finally, we exited through Gate 1 and strolled back to the hotel. Prices in tourist cities are quite impressive, I love it!

Built in commemoration of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu, the Du Fu River Pavilion is a replica of an ancient garden structure. Its four-story main pavilion stands 18 meters tall. Facing Orange Island and Yuelu Mountain across the river, it is less than a kilometer from Tianxin Pavilion, forming a cultural connection. Visitors to the Du Fu River Pavilion can experience history, reminisce about Du Fu, savor the poet's masterpieces, and experience Hunan culture. It is now one of the ten new scenic spots of Xiaoxiang.
Arriving in Changsha, I saw the Du Fu River Pavilion, nestled on the Xiangjiang River. This exquisitely simple and elegant building, with its inscriptions in cursive script on the plaque, made me feel as if I had traveled back to the Tang Dynasty, having a close conversation with the great poet Du Fu in his later years. Entering the attic, I learned from the exhibition halls about Du Fu's youthful vigor, his joyful life in his thirties, the turmoil of the An-Shi Rebellion, and his wanderings in his later years. These experiences deepened my understanding of the poet. In the evening, ascending to the top floor of the attic, I witnessed the lights of the Du Fu River Pavilion being turned on, which filled me with awe. The Du Fu River Pavilion offers us clues to understanding the rich cultural history of ancient times and a crucial language for us to engage in dialogue with the ancients. Let us explore Du Fu's magnificent and legendary life together, feel his noble concern for his country and his people, appreciate his heroic demeanor of loyalty and righteousness, and learn from his integrity and perseverance.

It was a fascinating trip. Wangcheng is a campus of Guangxi Normal University. The guide was a teacher from the university. He was incredibly knowledgeable and could readily recite historical allusions and ancient poetry. I was impressed! He gave us a vivid history and culture lesson!
The most impressive things were the Wangfu secret carvings, the Five Blessings, and the Tai Sui culture!
The Prince Jing's Mansion is beautiful, a tranquil retreat amidst the bustle of the city. The prince clearly knew how to choose a prime feng shui location. Formerly the site of Guangxi Normal University, it boasts both history and stunning scenery. The tour guide service was exceptional, offering free, professional explanations. Guide Mo, who is said to be a teacher, was very professional, patient, and thorough, even trying to explain as much as he could, knowing we were pressed for time. When we left to receive our blessing rubbings, Guide Wei patiently led us to the north gate. I'll definitely be back for a second visit during winter break.
