1. Pick-up location: at the exit of Zhangjiajie on Changzhang Expressway, along the way from the exit to the urban area, at the fork roads, intersections, gas stations, toll stations and traffic police duty rooms in cities and counties around Zhangjiajie (such as Lixian, Shimen, Changde and Cili).
2. Selection objects: cars, vans, commercial vehicles, buses operated outside CMB or Zhangjiajie.
Reason for hitchhiking: I'm from Zhangjiajie. I just got back to Zhangjiajie and can show you the way. People who don't know often think they are lucky. There are more advanced wild horses, which will appear in the form of public security, traffic police and government officials. Now we need to find a car to go back. After getting on the bus, they tried their best to publicize and brag about themselves, as if the technology was sky-high, and all the tourism links and departments in Zhangjiajie knew it. If they can make a deal in the car (or intend to make a deal), their task will be completed. If the guests are disgusted, they will have contacts. After arriving at the scenic spot, there will be "more capable" and "more imposing" related households to discuss with you. If these efforts don't work in front of savvy guests, they may ask to stay in a hotel or find a reputable travel agency in the local area. At this time, they may stare at you like flies and ask your hotel (or travel agency) for a rebate, claiming that this is a guest who has spent a lot of effort. As the main business entity, hotels (or travel agencies) have to raise the accommodation price if they want to consider giving wild horses a rebate, so it is the guests who suffer. For the above situation, friends who drive by car have every reason to refuse. If they are entangled, they can call 1 10.
The main disadvantage of go on road trip in Zhangjiajie is that it is difficult to arrange a trip to Jin Bianxi.
Jin Bianxi, with a total length of about 7.5 kilometers, is a mountain tourist line connecting Huangshizhai, a forest park, and Tianzishan, another port. Normally, if you visit Jin Bianxi from the foot of Tian Zi Mountain, you will swim out of Huangshizhai Village in Forest Park. On the contrary, if you go to Huangshi Village in Forest Park, you will go out from the lower reaches of the foot of Tian Zi. Therefore, when you visit Jin Bianxi by car, you either choose to visit half of Jin Bianxi and go back, or the driver will not go. Of course, you can also park your car in a special parking lot in the city, and then take a tour bus or rent a car at the bus station.
What routes around Zhangjiajie are most suitable for self-driving?
There are many scenic spots in Zhangjiajie, and the must-see spot is Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (this scenic spot is suitable for two or three days). In addition, scenic spots such as Tianmen Mountain, Huanglong Cave, Grand Canyon Scenic Area and Baofeng Lake Scenic Area can also be selectively visited. Here, Xiaowen, a guide from Zhangjiajie, tells you the three-day tour that a guest plays the most. To play this route, you need to arrive in Zhangjiajie city before noon on the first day. If you arrive in Zhangjiajie city after two o'clock, you'd better rest in Zhangjiajie city for one night and start playing again the next morning. Here is mainly about starting from the bus station in the city in the morning and starting to play.
Three-day tour of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and Tianmen Mountain (or Grand Canyon Scenic Area)
D 1: Depart from the bus station in the city in the morning, drive for 40 minutes to the ticket office of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (after buying the ticket, enter the mountain to play, this ticket is a pass, 245 yuan+accident insurance in 3 yuan scenic spot, valid for 3 days), and visit the "most beautiful canyon in the world" on foot-the tour route of Jin Bianxi: (including Guanyin seeing off the son, Pig carrying his wife, Eagle protecting his whip, and splitting the mountain to save his mother). After Jin Bianxi, there are two ways to visit Yuanjiajie scenic spot at the top of the mountain (one is to walk to Yuanjiajie from the disorderly slope in Jin Bianxi, the other is to take 72 yuan/Ren (Bailong ladder) to Yuanjiajie scenic spot, and then take the world's first outdoor elevator to Yuanjiajie at the top of the mountain.
The tour route of Yuanjiajie, the core of the world natural heritage, which is second only to Chinese food, includes the prototype of "Hallelujah Mountain" in Avatar, Gankunzhu, the first bridge in the world, Jiutian Xuanti, Gankunzhu, Lianxin Bridge, China-Korea Friendship Pavilion, the tortoise asking for heaven and the back garden. Yuanjiajie is one of the strangest and most spectacular scenic spots in Zhangjiajie Forest Park, better than Huangshizhai and Tianzi Mountain ... After that, you can take an eco-car for about 10 minutes and stay at Zhangjiajie Qingfeng Inn near Wulongzhai parking lot.
Tips from Xiaowen, a tour guide in Zhangjiajie: Because Zhangjiajie mainly sees mountains, there are many places to go, so it is best to travel lightly and simply that day. In addition, living in Qingfeng Inn at the top of the scenic spot only means that it is convenient to play, and you don't have to go into the mountains every day, saving the time of going into the mountains and the cost of ropeway elevators. However, because there are no star-rated hotels in the scenic spot, all inns can only ensure cleanliness and hygiene, with independent toilets, 24-hour hot water, televisions and so on. If guests with high accommodation requirements, it is best to choose hotels outside the scenic spot, just saying that they should spend more time in and out of the mountain and spend more money on ropeway elevators. What star rating?
D2: Get up in the morning and enjoy the beautiful sunrise (if the weather is fine). After breakfast, stay at Qingfeng Hotel. Start to visit the most beautiful tour line near the inn-Yang Jiajie tour line: (Golden Rooster at Dawn, Wulongzhai, Three Wonders of Hell, Echo Wall, Tianbofu and other attractions) Wulongzhai, the most famous bandit lair in western Hunan, is named after its sinister mountain, and it looks like an oolong entrenched in the mountains when night falls! The scenery in Yang Jiajie, like Zhangjiajie, is mainly original scenery and natural beauty. Compared with Zhangjiajie, Tianzi Mountain and Suoxiyu, it has its own unique features, unlike Zhangjiajie, but also better than Zhangjiajie, except that the geology and landform are basically the same as some peaks. It is an excellent scenic spot that regular tour groups have no time to arrange to visit.
After visiting Yang Jiajie, you can take a free eco-car to Tian Zi for more than 20 minutes. After lunch, you can visit Tian Zi, which is known as "enlarged bonsai and reduced fairyland": (Xiansanhua, Yubi Peak, Tianzi Pavilion, Yunqingyan and other scenic spots), and He Long Park, one of the top ten marshals-He Long bronze statue. Now, due to the maintenance of Tianzishan cableway, you can walk down the mountain from Wolongling to play-the tour route of Shili Gallery: (Three Sisters Peak, Herb Picking Old Man, Family Photo, Finger Peak, Camel, Luo Feng, etc.). It takes about 50 minutes to return to the city by car, and you can visit Baizhangxia, the "Millennium Ancient Battlefield" by car. The canyon is named because it has a stone wall nearly 100 feet high, which makes people afraid to look up. Return to Zhangjiajie City and stay in Zhangjiajie City. There are many kinds of hotels in the city, so I won't talk about them here.
Xiaowen, a tour guide in Zhangjiajie, reminded that due to the suspension of the Tianzishan cableway for one year, friends with good physical strength can walk down the mountain from Wolong Mountain to visit Shili Gallery after visiting the Tianzishan sightseeing line (downhill time is about 2.5 hours). If you are in poor health, you'd better take an eco-car from Tianzi Mountain to Bailong Ladder, take Bailong Ladder 72 yuan/person down the mountain, and then take an eco-car to visit Shili Gallery.
D3: Tianmen Mountain is next to Zhangjiajie Railway Station, and the downtown area of Zhangjiajie is also very small. The hotel takes a taxi or bus to the next stop of Tianmenshan cableway and visits Tianmenshan. (Tickets for Tianmen Mountain already include tickets for getting on and off the ropeway. Tianmen Mountain has a profound cultural heritage and is known as the "soul of Wuling". It is also the first mountain in western Hunan, with peaks, rocks, springs and streams. We visited Tianmen Mountain by ropeway: Guantianmen Cave, No.99 Wonderland (Tian Tong Avenue), Li Na Villa, Ghost Valley plank road, Ghost Valley Ice Plate, Yunmeng Xianding, Tianmen Mountain Temple, Lingquan Courtyard, Love of Wood and Stone and other famous attractions.
The tour time of Tianmen Mountain is about five hours, and the trip can be finished before 2 pm. It is convenient for everyone to arrange the next stop or return trip on this day.
