Second, the top ten wildest, most beautiful and unforgettable scenic spots in Zhangjiajie.

In the scenic area, 3,000 peaks rise from the ground, 800 streams meander vertically and horizontally, the forest is boundless, the mountain flowers are brilliant, and the scenery is beautiful and steep, so it is known as "the original of China landscape painting". Swimming is a great pleasure in life. There are too many places worth visiting in Zhangjiajie, but there are 10 elite scenic spots, which are too "wild" and "fascinating". You must go and see it! Otherwise, you will regret it!

1. "Jin Bianxi": Known as the "Landscape Gallery", the well-known golden route is the biggest stream landscape that distinguishes Zhangjiajie from other scenic spots. There is a stone road for tourists to walk by the stream, accompanied by Jin Bianxi. Here, the valley is deep, the water is green, and the stream is gurgling, which is fascinating! Walking along the stream, you can watch: "Camel Peak" has a head and a neck, lifelike; "Meet a Thousand Miles" is as vivid as a long-lost couple whispering; Golden Whip Rock is 387 meters high, soaring into the sky. The stripes on the edge of the rock peak are clearly visible, just like whipping knots, hence the name Jin Bianxi. The only pity is that it is the only way for almost all passengers, with less leisure and more noise!

2. "WulongZhai": In Yang Jiajie Scenic Area, it is famous for its extremely dangerous terrain and the residence of bandits. Among them, "Hell's Gate III" (Carmen who dare not bow her head and shrink her valley) is highly respected on the Internet; It is also because the mountain road is too steep that sighing tourists regret returning halfway; "Tian Bo House": a typical bandit's lair. The ladder above is basically at a 90-degree angle, and you need both hands and feet to climb it. It is worth seeing. You will think: the bandits in Xiangxi really choose places, and the places where the immortals live are occupied by them. That's so cool! The scenery here is unique!

Mengdong River is named after "the mountain is as fierce as a tiger, the water is as urgent as a dragon, and there are many holes". "Zhangjiajie sees the mountains and the Mengdong River plays with water" has become the essence of tourism in Xiangxi, Hunan Province. The world's first Mengdong River rafting project is located in a tributary of Mengdong River, with a total length of 47 kilometers. The best section is located in the section from Hanigon to Lu Niu, about17km long. Both sides of the scenic spot are mostly primitive secondary forests, lush and fast-flowing. full of green has the reputation of Shili Cliff, Shili Waterfall, Shili Picture Scroll and Shili Cave. Among them, there are 20 rapids 108 and waterfalls. Drifting, crossing rapids, crossing dangerous beaches, breaking into narrow valleys, surfing, no danger, endless aftertaste. In particular, Hani Palace, Triangle Rock, Jilongmen, Yuxian Gorge (rubbing soil), Yan Wangtan, Shuiluokeng, Mengsi Gorge, Carp Cut-off, Three Guns and other scenic spots are amazing.

4. "One step is hard to walk" in Tian Zi Scenic Area: It's really dangerous and exciting, because you have to cross two stone peaks in one step! Two stone peaks are adjacent to each other to form a gap, and below the gap is an abyss. It is said that tourists have slipped and died here before! After that, barbed wire was added. Although there is no thrill and excitement at the beginning, we can still vaguely explore the traces of that year from the barbed wire under our feet. "Daguan Platform": It is one of the four wonders of Zhangjiajie (sunrise, peak forest, winter snow and foggy sea)-the only viewing point of sunrise; "God Chicken Picks at Food": It is in the same scenic spot as "One Step Is Hard to Walk" and "Tian Zi Block". It is the best angle to see the "Shili Gallery". Fairy Bridge: Legend has it that the fairy left ribbons to rescue Xiang Dakun, the toast king. It is a stone bridge deck about one meter wide, with no fences on both sides. It is too dangerous! If you don't have some courage and strong physique, it is impossible to go there;

5. "The First Bridge in the World", "Charming Platform" and "Back Garden": These scenic spots are the representatives of Zhangjiajie's geology and landform. Here, five steps are amazing, seven steps are amazing, and ten steps away, you are dumbfounded. Relatively speaking, the first few scenic spots are the more primitive and rough side of Zhangjiajie, while these are more exquisite. It is one of the four wonders (sunrise, peak forest, winter snow and foggy sea)-the viewing point of foggy sea. Fog appears and disappears here, and I don't know when it appears and disappears. Clouds roll and clouds are comfortable, mountains are unpredictable, and heaven and earth are difficult to distinguish. Although this is the only place for tour groups, it is still recommended. You can ask the tour guide to arrange a tour when the large troops are not concentrated. For leisure tourists, there is another advantage: it is easy to play, and the physical consumption is not great; "Looking at the bridge abutment" is the best angle to see the first bridge in the world. Overlooking the first bridge in the world, there is only one intersection point at the top of two straight and independent stone peaks, lamenting the magic of nature and the magic of ghost valley, which is worth seeing.

6. "Tianmen Mountain": The Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park takes sightseeing as the main line, deeply excavates the cultural connotation, and fully embodies the "magical", "mysterious" and "sacred" atmosphere and main features of the first mountain in western Hunan. * * * is divided into four scenic spots: Tianmen Dongkai, Tianjie Buddhism, Biye Yaotai and Wonderland. Among them, there are ten landscapes, such as Tianmen Cave, Tianzun Country, Hanging Stairs and Floating Alleys, Love between Wood and Stone, Wandering in Lingxiao, Rainbow Suolongxiang, Mysterious Wall with Immortals, Winding Path to Heaven, Yunmeng Peak, Dancing Stove and Flying Smoke, and Tianmen Mountain Cableway, Tian Tong Avenue, and so on. Tianmen Cave is 13 1.5 meters high, 57 meters wide and 60 meters deep, with a north-south direction. There are three wonders all the year round: "Tianmen spits fog", "Tianmen flashes light" and "Plum blossoms floating in the rain". 1999, the world's aerobatics masters flew over the Tianmen Cave, causing a sensation in the world and attracting worldwide attention. In 2006, the Russian Air Force's aerobatic performance in Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie escalated the suspense of Tianmen Cave and once again became the global focus. Tianmen Cave is a holy place for local people to pray and make wishes, and it still follows the folk custom of "praying in heaven".

Tianmenshan national forest park-cultural wonders

There are four cultural wonders in Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area, namely Tianmen Mountain Cableway, Tianmen Mountain Panshan Highway, Ghost Valley Plank Road and Glass Plank Road. The total length of Tianmenshan cableway is 7455 meters, and the horizontal elevation difference is 1279 meters. It is one of the most spectacular ropeways in the world. It starts from the central garden of Zhangjiajie and reaches the original hanging garden on the top of the mountain through folk pastoral scenery, just like a rainbow flying over the "world" and "sky". Tianmenshan Panshan Highway is10.77km long, and the height difference exceeds1.300m.. It has 99 bends, so it is named "Tian Tong Avenue" because of its direct access to Tianmen Cave. The hollow valleys on both sides of the avenue are deep, and the mountains overlap, like a dragon hovering in the sky, which is known as "the first highway wonder in the world". The "Ghost Valley Plank Road" stands on the plank road overlooking the mountains, and it feels like "once you climb to the top of the mountain, you will see that other mountains are dwarfed under the sky". The thoughts of the ancients came into being. Tianmen Mountain is a national forest park with rich vegetation and typical karst landform. On this plank road, you can find a feeling of flying over the rainforest Grand Canyon by helicopter, which can only be seen in movies, and you can be there.

7. "Shentang Bay": Very mysterious, you must see it! There are many strange animals and magical legends here, so far no one here can get them! According to legend, Tujia Tusi jumped off a cliff here in the early Ming Dynasty after being defeated by Wang. Whenever it rains, people can be heard screaming under the rocks. When you swim here, you can feel the majesty and mystery of this mountain! Some of the peaks here stand tall like jade pillars and jade whips; Some are like iron walls, standing tall; Some are like laying eggs on a rocking plate, tottering; Some of them are antique bonsai, beautifully carved ... making people want to stay.

8. "Sky Pastoral": In the old house field in Tian Zi Scenic Area. When we marvel at the spectacular peaks and the transpiration of the sea of clouds, experience the tranquility of the virgin forest and stretch our feelings of returning to nature, we also look at the lifestyle of Tujia people who have been entrenched here for generations at the top of the mountain. Enjoy the idyllic scenery of crowing chickens and barking dogs and flowing bridges. "Yuanyang Waterfall" is the only majestic scenic spot in Wulingyuan Scenic Area that can be enjoyed by high flowing water. A bay of clear water flew down in two white chains from a mountain more than 30 meters high. How spectacular! Especially when the weather is hot in July and August, tourists here can't stand the temptation to take off their clothes and be naked, and let the waterfall pour down from their heads. It's just that the scenic spots here are remote and there are few tourists, belonging to the original development zone.

9. "Tian Zi Observation Deck", "Yunqingyan" and "Picturesque World Tour": Tian Zi Scenic Area. It is one of the four wonders (sunrise, peak forest, winter snow and foggy sea)-peak forest viewing point. Different from other scenic spots, the peak forest here is called "enlarged bonsai, concentrated fairyland", which is magical and real, blurred and realistic, breathtaking, not artistic creation. This place is the only way to join the group, so there are many tourists. Zhangjiajie tourism

10. Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is located in Sanguansi Township, Cili County, Zhangjiajie City, adjacent to Wulingyuan Scenic Area, a world natural heritage and a world geological park. Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is a newly developed tourist attraction. Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon originally had two names, one was rotten boat gorge: it originated from Shenquan Creek, where the water of the whole Grand Canyon and the southern Hongqi Canal came from. It is said that there were many rotten planks gushing out of the spring before, and the locals could not know where these rotten planks came from, hence the name "rotten boat gorge". There is also a name called Luanquan Gorge: it refers to two stone walls in the canyon, where there are many streams and springs, and the gorge is constantly flowing. The scenery of Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is different from that of Zhangjiajie Scenic Area. Because other scenic spots are looking up or down, here is looking up. Different angles have different natural feelings.

3. How to get to the main scenic spot (Zhangjiajie National Forest Park) after arriving in Zhangjiajie city?

Special reminder: you must pay attention to thieves when you take the bus! !

Five, eat, live, travel and play in Zhangjiajie:

1, eat in Zhangjiajie:

Generally, the favorite thing for self-help tourists to go out is to taste local snacks, because there is plenty of time, which is why most people like to take the form of self-help travel now. I believe the following are the favorites of the donkey friends-

There are many delicious places in the downtown area of Zhangjiajie. The first one worth recommending is the Three Gorges Pot, a special dish of Zhangjiajie. The so-called three-pot, in fact, is a very convenient dry pot, made of three main ingredients, stewed in hot pot instead of soup. I think the "Master Hu's Three Cooks" near Sanjiaoping and the "Sister Chen's Three Cooks" in Cross Street are both quite good, and each cook costs 25 yuan (originally 10 yuan. Now the price has gone up), the weight is enough to eat, and two or three people only need to order 50 yuan to ensure that you are full and eat well! It is suggested to stew rice rolls, dried walnuts and Xiangxi bacon together, and order a sour radish while eating, which is crisp and sour. Really the best!

There is also a place to eat beef with sauerkraut called Yinmandou, which is hard to find. Walk in the alley opposite the aviation school, adjacent to the pedestrian street. The building on the corner is a big Internet cafe called Songzhumei, beige, and the building on the other side is a three-story pedestrian street. Go in and walk from here. It is located in the middle of this alley. There is a sign. His beef with sauerkraut is very famous, and the mutton is very good. Mutton tastes like pork. I don't know whether he is praised or belittled.

There is also a place called Sanjiaoping in the urban area, and there is a place dedicated to eating fish heads. It's delicious, too Take a taxi and tell the master that I can take you there. On Beizheng Street, there are many delicious places, such as music kitchen and so on! There is also a midnight snack at night, and go straight to the crossroads in the department store. That street is full of snacks at night.

2. Living in Zhangjiajie:

Before 200 1, there were many hotels in Zhangjiajie Scenic Area. At that time, tourists who came to play lived in the scenic spot, because it saved time, and they didn't have to waste time going up and down the mountain, spending money on ropeways and ladders. And living on the top of the mountain in the scenic spot is very fresh, so don't have an experience! However, since 200 1 Premier Zhu came, he found that there were too many people living on the mountain, which destroyed the natural ecological environment. A large-scale hotel demolition has been carried out, so there are not many places to stay on the mountain now, leaving only a small number of beds for tourists to stay.

It is difficult for people to get a room because of the shortage of beds on the mountain. At present, most travel agencies recommend hotels in Wulingyuan Town at the foot of the mountain, which undoubtedly brings inconvenience to the trip. Many scenic spots have to be reduced because it takes too much time to go back and forth into the mountains. And because everyone lives there, the time for tourists to enter and leave the mountain is similar sooner or later, and the itinerary is similar. Therefore, it often takes a long time to get in and out of the mountain and wait for the eco-car in the scenic spot. When playing, you also need to queue up to take the cableway.

So now most self-help tourists choose to live in the mountains. Although there is no luxury under the mountain, it is of great benefit to the scenic spots. Watch the sunrise and sunset, experience the life of Tujia aborigines and get in touch with nature. In addition, because we don't need to go up and down the mountain to waste time, we need to see many scenic spots, such as Yuanjiajie, Yang Jiajie, Wulongzhai, Daguan Platform, Xianren Bridge, old house tour, sky pastoral, magic party and so on, which are not available to regular tour groups in our society. In fact, these scenic spots are beautiful (places that guests have been to are strongly recommended by various forums), but they have to give up just because they have lived outside the scenic spots where the regular club is located for too long. In short, if you want to see more scenic spots, it is the best choice to recommend you to live in the mountains.
