Zhangjiajie National Forest Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
ZhangJiaJie - City of Heaven
In Zhangjiajie, my adventure took an unexpected turn as dense fog draped the landscape, shrouding the towering peaks and mystical forests in an ethereal veil. The absence of the sun lent an air of mystery to the surroundings, transforming the experience into a journey through a surreal dreamscape.
As I ascended Tianmen Mountain via the cable car, the fog played tricks on perception, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The glass skywalk, normally revealing dizzying depths, now seemed to disappear into the mist, heightening the sense of adventure and discovery.
Exploring Zhangjiajie National Forest Park under the cloak of fog added an enigmatic charm to the iconic quartz-sandstone pillars. The pillars emerged like ancient sentinels from the mist, their silhouettes evoking a sense of timelessness. The Hallelujah Mountain, obscured yet majestic, seemed to float in a sea of clouds, creating an almost spiritual ambiance.
Navigating the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, the fog added an extra layer of challenge and allure. The glass bridge, now softened by the mist, transformed into a path suspended in the clouds, making each step a blend of excitement and trepidation. The snow on the mountain roads, while posing obstacles, added a pristine beauty to the rugged terrain.
Embracing the unexpected weather, I found solace in the serenity of the fog-laden landscapes. The absence of direct sunlight allowed me to appreciate the subtleties of Zhangjiajie's beauty, revealing a different side of its charm. The snow-dusted roads, though challenging, added a touch of winter magic to the journey.
As I descended from the misty heights of Zhangjiajie, the memories of a fog-kissed adventure lingered. The absence of the sun had transformed the landscapes into a poetic canvas, where nature's elements collaborated to create an experience both challenging and enchanting, leaving an indelible mark on my journey through this mesmerizing destination.#Zhangjiajie

Fenghuang Ancient Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Phoenix Ancient City Night View| Border Town under the pen of Shen Congwen
|Border Town under the pen of Shen Congwen. 'A bend of Tuojiang River, a Phoenix city.'
A slight mist is diffused, three thousand bright lights are brilliant, so this is the border town under the pen of Mr. Shen Congwen...
Rush to the Phoenix Ancient City in western Hunan to see the 'Border Town' under the pen of Shen Congwen. The majestic ancient city wall, the neat stilted buildings, the smooth bluestone roads, the Yao girls by the Tuojiang River... These are the first impressions of the Phoenix Ancient City. Phoenix is located in western Hunan, and is a county where ethnic minorities such as Miao and Tujia are mainly concentrated.
This place has a long history and was once called 'the land of barbarians', but a 'Border Town' has pushed this ancient city to the world.
Today's Phoenix is the 'most beautiful small city in China' in the mouth of New Zealand writer Rewi Alley and the 'Painting Township' under the pen of painter Huang Yongyu, which is comparable to the ancient city of Lijiang in Yunnan and the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi.
'Wait for a city of misty rain, just for you; cross a lifetime of love, only with you'
'I have walked over many bridges in my life, seen clouds many times, drunk many kinds of wine, but only loved a person at the best age'
Perhaps many people like Shen Congwen because of this sentence. And because of his 'Border Town', they fell in love with Phoenix.
Phoenix Ancient Town, Hunan
1: You can basically finish touring the ancient town by walking and taking photos for half a day, but the day and night views each have their own charm. The daytime view is antique, and the night view is gorgeous and dazzling. It is recommended to stay for 1 day and 1 night, arrive at noon, and leave at noon the next day is ideal. If you want to experience the Miao nationality or surrounding attractions, you can spend more time.
2 Phoenix transportation: The high-speed rail station Phoenix Ancient Town, the nearest airport is in Tongren, Guizhou, 100% recommended to arrive by high-speed rail. The high-speed rail station is only 20 to 30 yuan away from the ancient town or the city. It is difficult to call a network car at the high-speed rail station. Follow the signs in the high-speed rail station to the taxi point (do not exit the station), and it is easy to get a taxi.
3 Be cautious: The maglev train at the high-speed rail station, 19 yuan per person to Phoenix Ancient Town, if there are more than 2 people, it is more cost-effective to take a taxi. And it's not easy to drag suitcases in the ancient town, it's best to take a taxi to the nearest entrance and exit.
Phoenix has 3 main attractions: Tuojiang River, ancient town, Miao Village
, the scenic spot pass, the boat tour ticket can ask the homestay owner, or the one-day tour store in the ancient town, it's very convenient.
Avoid thunder in the scenic spot: People who pull people to the scenic spot on the road, the scenic spot is not so good, there may be various places to add money on the way.
Accommodation:
The homestays in the ancient town are all renovated old buildings, and the sound insulation effect is definitely not good, but the scenery along the river is very good, and you can also drink tea and enjoy the scenery in the homestay when it rains.
People with poor sleep are advised to live outside the ancient town! Otherwise, the music of the bars along the river will not be turned off until 11:30 in the evening, and you will be woken up by the horns of the tour group and the scenic spot at 7 o'clock the next morning.
The ancient city tourism department does not manage well. Since it attracts tourists with the gimmick of the city that never sleeps, there is no need to get up so early to live in the ancient city. Traveling is not military training.
Travel photography in the ancient city has become a standard part of travel. Most travel photography shops can or , compare the sample pictures and prices of several shops. We found a full set of 299, including 10 retouched and 30 negatives. Go there at noon to make up and change clothes, then play in the ancient city, and arrange for the photographer to shoot before the lights are turned on at night, so that you can shoot both day and night views.
The "photographer" who takes your candid photos on the road and then sells the photos to you, most of these do not have a few fixed cooperative travel photography shops
The basics along the river in the ancient city are expensive and not delicious. If you are hungry while shopping, you can eat some snacks to fill your stomach. The homestay owner recommended "Wanmuzhai" on the edge of the ancient city. We think it's pretty good, the price is right, the portion is enough, and the taste is not bad. We ate two meals and recommend chopped pepper fish head, blood duck, and bamboo shoots stir-fried with bacon.
There are also comments on what to avoid in the comment area

Phoenix Ancient City, an extraordinary journey
My first step into the beautiful land of Hunan - Phoenix Ancient City, this is an extraordinary journey. The long-distance bus ran through half a day and night, and finally at six o'clock in the morning, I arrived in Changsha.
After the exhaustion of the long journey, after a period of rest, we finally came to the embrace of this ancient city. At noon, we settled down in the homestay and enjoyed the food. Although the homestays in the ancient city are not satisfactory, the choices of takeaways are not unique, and what's more, we have trouble finding an ideal delivery location, which really brings a lot of trouble.
After lunch, we decided to take a rest and replenish our energy to welcome the upcoming exploration journey. At five o'clock in the afternoon, we started our exploration of the ancient city. Although it was drizzling outside, it did not stop our exploration. The ancient city at night is cool and pleasant, and such weather is really refreshing.
Of course, the trip to the ancient city cannot be without taking beautiful photos. We randomly chose a shop in the ancient city. Although the crowd was bustling, the shop assistants seemed a bit rushed, and the makeup and styling might not be exquisite, but the overall effect was still good. The price is reasonable, we chose to travel and shoot. Although the photographer's photos have not yet been developed, the photos we took ourselves are also quite good. The models are very satisfied with the effect of the photos and can't help but laugh.
However, I want to remind everyone that the night of the ancient city is indeed crowded. Looking for beauty in such an environment is like finding a needle in a haystack. Therefore, I chose to leave during the day and enjoy the cool time with my friends. Overall, this trip, in addition to the time for taking pictures that made me happy, the scenery of the ancient city is also quite charming. This city is the shooting location of the fairy sword, and I am full of love for it.

High-speed rail direct! The thousand-year-old ancient town hanging on the waterfall made me cry!
I have been watching the waterfall in the mountains for a long time, always fantasizing about being able to live in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, as if it is a real paradise ^_^
In front of us in China, there is indeed such a place that can realize this wish. This is an ancient and pleasant border town that has experienced a thousand years of history, surrounded by water and the waterfall runs through the entire town.
When night falls, the scattered lights are like a galaxy in the world, and the dreamy waterfall is even more colorful.
This land once became famous because of a movie by famous director Xie Jin, and was renamed for this reason. This place is Furong Town in Xiangxi, Hunan, a severely underestimated niche attraction.
Take advantage of the good season of autumn, why not pack up and set off!
If you choose high-speed rail , you can get off at the "Furong Town" high-speed rail station, and then take a taxi for a few minutes to arrive, or drive to the "Furong Town Tourist Service Center" or "Furong Town Scenic Area Tianze Parking Lot" (the latter requires a ticket purchase first).
The ticket price is 108 yuan/person, valid for 3 days, unlimited entry and exit. The recommended tour route is the entrance of the scenic spot ➡️ Baitang ➡️ Xizhou Copper Column ➡️ Tuwang Bridge ➡️ Tingtao Road Ancient Street ➡️ Guanpu Terrace Yinan Theater ➡️ Huashao Camping Base ➡️ Chushu Tongjin ➡️ Furong Town Big Waterfall ➡️ Viewing Gallery Bridge ➡️ City Gate Wharf ➡️ Wuli Stone Street ("Furong Town" movie location, Liu Xiaoqing's tofu shop)
The special performance time is 9:00-22:00, the scenic spot continuously performs "Flowers Bloom and Furong·Bisca's Carnival", allowing you to appreciate the charm of the Tujia culture. The viewing platform at night is a night view not to be missed. The lights start at 19:30, and you can check in with the same pose as Yang Mi.
In terms of accommodation, the price of homestays in the peak season is slightly expensive, and the price of waterfall-viewing rooms is above 350 yuan; accommodation outside the scenic area is more affordable, and parking is also more convenient.
In terms of food, there are all kinds of special Xiangxi pickles, Liu Xiaoqing's tofu, stir-fried bamboo shoots, hot and sour noodles, rice wine, osmanthus fish, bacon, etc.
In addition, the directly operated Tufeng Miaoyun Boutique Shop in the scenic area (opposite the Furong Grand View at the entrance of the scenic area) provides special products with Xiangxi style, such as secret T-shirts, sunny and rainy umbrellas, silverware, dolls, etc.

Today it’s known for its rare collection of excavated Western Han dynasty tombs, known as the Mawangdui. It’s also associated with Mao Zedong, who studied and lived here before joining the Chinese Communist Party in the 1920s.
Orange Island 🇨🇳 Changsha
A tourist spot with lots of Chinese characteristics.
Massive political statues ✅
Temples ✅
Local famous tea chain ✅
Gardens ✅
Famous residences ✅
A random tourist activity centre with buggies and caravans, and a shooting range ✅
A petit tram✅
What more could you want, it's a fun touristy day out.
Getting There- It's easiest to get a taxi to the main car parks on the island. Then you'll need to walk or use the petit trams to navigate the island and its many tourist spots. There is a main island path and a prominade too. For the massive figure head you'll need to register to get in with your passport or/and QR code.
You could spend an hour or a day here, but I would recommend an early start as the crowds can be quite big.
