Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (Wulingyuan Scenic Area) will explain a concept to you first. What is Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and what is Wulingyuan Scenic Area-There are too many names of rivers and lakes in Zhangjiajie, which make many donkey friends often confused. In fact, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and Wulingyuan Scenic Area are the same scenic spot, with the same ticket, but with different names, and they are two different scenic spots entrances. Donkey friends can choose to enter the mountain from the ticket office of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, visit the elite attractions such as Huangshizhai and Jin Bianxi, and then start from Wulingyuan ticket office; Or enter the mountain from Wulingyuan ticket office first, then stroll through Jin Bianxi and arrive at the ticket office exit of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
After explaining the concept, let's take a look at the scenic spots worth seeing in this 500-square-kilometer out-of-print earth peak forest:
1, Huangshizhai Scenic Area: Don't go to Huangshizhai, go to Zhangjiajie for nothing.
Estee, it's a pity to travel like this. In the winter of 1979, the famous painter Wu came to Huangshizhai. You must do some homework first. Otherwise, you come to Huangshizhai to sketch and don't know the scenery behind you. Wu Guanzhong, a donkey friend, was deeply shocked by this peak forest, and wrote the classic beautiful article "Born in the Inner Room, Nobody knows her-Zhangjiajie is a pearl of scenery", which was published in Hunan Daily 1980 on the first day of the New Year's Day. After the article was published, the society paid close attention to Zhangjiajie. 1982, the State Council established the first national forest park in China. According to legend, Liu Hou Sean lived here in seclusion in the Han Dynasty, and was later saved by his teacher Huang Shigong, hence the name Huang Shizhai. Village top elevation1080m. Looking at the mountains in the mountains is the biggest feature of Huangshizhai Village. It is the largest aerial observation platform in Zhangjiajie and one of the five boutique tourist routes in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Seen from the top of the village, every rock peak is an ancient work of art. They are like swords, needles, turtles and dragons' heads ... Clouds and valleys surround them, and vivid China ink paintings will really live in front of your eyes! 1In May 1992, two blue-eyed officials sent by the United Nations World Heritage Committee marveled at the imposing manner of Huangshizhai. 200 1, Zhu Rongji, then Prime Minister of the State Council, gathered in Qianfeng, Huangshizhai, either bright or dark, lamenting that "there are immortals on the top of Zhangjiajie". 20 14 The 3D magic blockbuster "Make a scene in Heaven" starring Chow Yun Fat, Donnie Yen, Aaron Kwok, Chen Qiaoen and Peter Ho was shot here. The poet commented on Huangshizhai in this way: five steps are amazing, and seven steps are amazing; Ten steps away, dumbfounded. When you go to Huangshizhai, when you walk in the underwater world of 380 million years, whether you are living or traveling, you are walking in time.
Scenic spots: Six Wonders Pavilion, Star Picking Platform, Two-door Welcome, Inscription by Premier Zhu Rongji, Wu Zhifeng, Great Sage, Imperial Garden (formerly known as Ganyuan Garden) and other mountaineering methods:
A, take the Huangshizhai cableway back and forth; Personally, I recommend taking the cableway to the scenic spot. Huangshizhai cableway is1080m long, and it takes about 4 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. 2200 people/hour capacity, no need to queue up. The place where the cableway passes is the most essential part of the scenery in Huangshizhai Village. The rocks are rugged, the peaks are numerous, and the clouds are lingering. There is indeed a feeling that Sun Shengda is walking in the clouds, which cannot be realized by hiking.
B, walk up the hill. From the foot of the mountain to the top of Huangshizhai village, you need to climb 3878 steps. The speed of a normal person is about 100 minutes. People who have confidence in physical strength can try.
2. Tian Zi Scenic Area: The Emperor returns without looking at the mountains.
The altitude of Tian Zi is 1262.5 meters, and the highest peak area is nearly 100 square kilometers. In the Song Dynasty, Tujia leaders claimed to be the son of heaven to Dakun, assembled their troops, and got the name of "Tianzishan", known as the "king of peak forests". The beautiful scenery of Tianzi Mountain is different in spring, summer, autumn and winter, as well as at 4 am and midnight. Generally speaking, there are four wonders: strange stone, sea of clouds, sunset and winter snow. Standing on the top of the mountain overlooking, ravines and stone peaks are spectacular. Yun Qi is called the "West Sea" because it is like an ink gauze and tides from the sea. As the sun sets, the sun shines, and the whole Zhangjiajie landform peak forest is golden, just like a soldier on the battlefield, a million soldiers! In winter, the snow pressure is dangerous, and there is a school of silver makeup, especially the snow wall in the distance, just like the Great Wall winding, which is amazing. There is a saying: who knows the face of the son of heaven, and don't look at the mountains when you return!

Yang Jiajie Scenic Area is adjacent to Yuanjiajie in the east and Tian Zi in the north, with a total area of 34 square kilometers, which is a rare wonder of the peak wall on the earth. It is in the early stage of Zhangjiajie landform development and has a rare peak wall landscape in the world. In addition to the wonders of the peak wall, there are natural beauty such as stone pillars, Gu Teng, waterfalls and colorful flowers, as well as cultural landscapes such as Wulongzhai. Due to the steep mountains and poor traffic, it is difficult for ordinary tourists to reach. Over the years, it has only enjoyed a good reputation among outdoor donkey friends, and the whole scenic spot is in a state of snow. Many scenic spots in Yang Jiajie are related to Yang Jiajiang in Song Dynasty, such as Liulang Bay, air billow Bay, Zongbao Bay and Tianbofu. Descendants still live here, and Yang's genealogy and Yang's tomb in Ming and Qing Dynasties are well preserved. 20 14, "The Wonder of Yang Jiajie Peak Wall" finally unveiled her mysterious veil. Professor Chen Anze, a well-known geologist in China and one of the names of "Zhangjiajie Landform", believes that the peak wall group in Yang Jiajie is an important part of the landscape of "Zhangjiajie Landform" and has extremely high scientific, ecological and aesthetic values. It is rare that such a standard and tall stone wall group in the scenic spot can be completely preserved. "Its scale and beauty of scenery are out of print in the world."

5. Jin Bianxi: The most beautiful canyon in the world.
I believe in fate. Meeting Jin Bianxi made me fall in love at first sight, and I fell in love with it from then on. Jin Bianxi is 7.5 kilometers long, and sightseeing usually takes two and a half hours to three hours. It is named after the Golden Whip Rock, one of the "Ten Scenes of Zhangjiajie".

6. Shili Gallery: the essence of Zhangjiajie landform
Shili Gallery-Shili Peak Cluster is picturesque!
After the peak wall was cut and weathered by running water, it gradually evolved into a peak cluster. Shili Gallery is undoubtedly a masterpiece of peak cluster landscape. The peaks on both sides of the river have different shapes, like a huge ink painting, hanging side by side on the cliff and slowly stretching in the mountains, showing the beautiful scenery of the peaks and clusters to the fullest. In the past 200 years, stone statues, such as people, things, birds and animals, have formed vivid natural sculptures. Li Shengming, a poet, wrote a poem: "Strange peaks contend for heaven, and everything is different." How many tourists are there in Shili Road, Qingxi, Xiugu and Gallery? "Signs and attractions: Shouxing welcomes guests, turns to the attic, collects herbs for the elderly, the Three Sisters Peak, and closes books. Entry mode: A.
