Catch up with the 11th World Wingsuit Flying Championships, it's wonderful, nature's wonders, the spirit of all things, it's worth it. Mid-September is the semi-off-season, get up early and enjoy a leisurely 7-hour tour until sunset
Tianmen Mountain, formerly known as Yunmeng Mountain and Songliang Mountain, is the highest mountain in Zhangjiajie's Yongding District, located only 8 kilometers from the urban area. It is named after the natural wonder Tianmen Cave, one of the earliest mountains recorded in history. In the sixth year of Yong'an in the Wu Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period (263 AD), a cave suddenly opened up from the cliffs of Songliang Mountain, forming a rare wonder of the world today: Tianmen Cave. This cave, hence the name Tianmen Mountain, was created.

The tickets and the three cables and one elevator are totally worth it. The tickets are valid for four days. We went there for four days and took the three cables and one elevator a total of 12 times, so we didn't strain our legs much. The attractions in Zhangjiajie are relatively scattered, and it will take at least three days to visit all the beautiful attractions, and it won't be particularly tiring.
It is very convenient and can be ridden unlimited times, which is convenient for people who don't like walking and climbing. It can enhance the experience of playing. If you master the time, you can visit many places. Combined with the live broadcast of the day, you can reduce the waiting time. It is very convenient. You must buy this unlimited ride, which can compress the three-day trip into two days.

I was very lucky to see the fairy-like side of Fanjing Mountain and the side with blue sky and white clouds. Finally, I was fortunate to see the beautiful sunset and the beautiful scenery of the sea of clouds. It was amazing and worth the trip!
The scenery is beautiful, the wind is strong, and it's a tiring mountain. I didn't finish the climb, so I climbed the stairs to see the mushroom rock. Maybe it was too tiring to climb the stairs. I think Huangguoshu Waterfall is more spectacular 🫣 But the cable car is great✌🏻

This attraction is like a blind box draw—it's great when you pull it out, and even better when it works. To see the scenery, you have to check the weather forecast in advance and wait until the dry season. When I went, it rained heavily a few days before, so I could only see the mung bean soup.
Also, entrance fees to scenic spots throughout Guizhou are not cheap. Honestly, the value isn't as good as Chongqing's. Tickets to attractions like this in Chongqing are only a few dozen yuan at most. Going to Guizhou is just for a change of pace.
I entered through the East Gate and exited through the East Gate. The walk from the East Gate to the bus station was about 250 meters, with a slight incline. The first bus stop was the Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge, where you had to walk up a few steps to reach the bridge. We departed from Xiaoqikong and walked along the way past Laya Waterfall and the 68-step waterfall (a total of 1.6 kilometers with inclines and steps). We walked to the Shishang Forest Station to catch a bus to Cuigu Waterfall. From Cuigu Waterfall, it was a 600-meter walk to Cuigu Wetland Station, where we could transfer to the bus to Wolongtan. After getting off at Wolongtan Station, we walked 300 meters to Wolongtan. There were steps downhill until we reached the view of Wolongtan. After that, we climbed a few dozen steps to the bus stop, where we could get a bus directly to the East Gate.
I recommend traveling with elderly people or children in strollers. The walk was not very strenuous, with steps and inclines, and it was quite tiring. Our entire walk took us three hours.

It's certainly commercialized, feeling like a hodgepodge of businesses, with all sorts of shops, mostly for travel photography, hotels, and restaurants. But while business is business, it's not as bad as people say online. It's worth a visit, mainly to see the Miao architecture, experience the ethnic minority culture, and try the local cuisine. The night view is stunning, with thousands of lights, reminiscent of a scene from Spirited Away. It's photogenic, no wonder so many people wear Miao clothing for photos. It's truly beautiful, but a single visit is enough. Entrance fees aren't expensive compared to many scenic spots nationwide, so I recommend staying inside. Accommodation in a room with a view is more expensive, with standard rooms still costing around 100-200 RMB. However, I recommend getting one with a view; the night view is truly stunning. Cars aren't allowed inside the scenic area, so if you're staying there, don't bring too much luggage. The roads are hilly and difficult to climb. It's better if the hotel can help with your luggage. Hotels generally don't have elevators, so you have to climb stairs, which can be very uncomfortable, especially with a suitcase. As for the food, many people might not be used to the sour soup, which tastes like mountain pepper oil and contains zheergen (Houttuynia cordata). However, black pork skewers and rice noodles are more palatable. I recommend buying a scenic bus ticket, which costs 5 yuan per trip. The combined ticket, which comes with the entrance fee, is 110 yuan, allowing you to ride the bus four times per person: two round trips to the North Gate and two round trips to Observation Deck No. 1 at the West Gate. It's a bit far to walk with luggage. I wouldn't recommend the "Beautiful Xijiang" performance inside the scenic area. They sell calligraphy and paintings, and the show isn't particularly impressive. It's a bit pricey: 190 yuan for VIP, but 170 yuan for locals. In summary, the scenic area is worth a visit, mainly to see the Miao village architecture and culture. The night view is stunning, a must-see!
Arriving at Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in the evening, I was instantly struck by the vast expanse of stilt houses! The setting sun shone on the green-tiled wooden buildings, and amidst the curling smoke from cooking fires, thousands of lights gradually illuminated the mountains. Dots of light scattered across the valley resembled stars, creating a captivating atmosphere in every photo. A light mist enveloped the village in the early morning, and the terraced fields and the Miao village complemented each other. Walking along the stone paths, listening to Miao songs, was filled with a sense of quaint charm.
The only downside is the high prices. Food and handicrafts within the scenic area are significantly more expensive than outside, with a typical meal costing 100 yuan per person. Simple silver jewelry is also not cheap, which somewhat detracts from the experience. However, for the stunning scenery of the Miao village, it's still worth the trip.

When I went to Guilin, I did some research and found that the attractions in the city are relatively concentrated, so I booked a hotel near Vientiane City. It's quite close to the Elephant Trunk Hill scenic area, where you can visit Elephant Trunk Hill, the Sun and Moon Pagodas, East and West Alleys, Jingjiang Palace, and more. Elephant Trunk Hill Park is free, but reservations are required. Since it was summer vacation, there were a lot of people, but I was still pleasantly surprised to see the Elephant Trunk Hill I'd seen in textbooks. It felt like I was there. You can hire a photographer to take photos with you; the price is quite reasonable at 30 yuan. Of course, a photo opportunity is a must when visiting Guilin.
Guilin's Elephant Trunk Hill: Nature's ultimate comedian!
From a distance:
It looks like a giant elephant bent over, guzzling the Li River's water—tons, tons, tons. It's been drinking for two thousand years and still hasn't had enough! Is this elephant made of water?
Up close:
From the front: The large natural hole in the center of the hill—the Water Moon Cave—looks like it was pierced through by an elephant's trunk. Standing inside in the cave in the summer is so cool you'll want to move in and sleep on your own!
From the side: The rock texture mimics the wrinkles of an elephant's skin, even resembling "elephant legs" and a "tail."
Magical moment:
At high tide, the Li River water flows back into the cave, and the elephant's trunk actually sprays water!
Tourist: Why did you say the statue had special effects? ˏ₍•ɞ•₎ˎ

The surprise of this trip started with staying at this hotel! 🫶This stay was an absolute blast! From getting off the bus to checking out, the front desk lady was incredibly attentive. Check-in took just a minute, and she even helped carry our luggage to our room. The room was incredibly clean, and the bedding felt soft, like sinking into a cloud. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, so the hot water came quickly and the pressure was consistent, so I didn't experience fluctuating temperatures while showering. The dining area was also very comfortable, with good lighting and spacious tables and chairs, so it didn't feel crowded. The staff promptly cleared away empty plates, and the tables were always clean. The service was also very friendly, even proactively asking if we needed coffee. ☕
The scenery was breathtaking, and our room had a direct view of Fubo Mountain and the Li River. My friend even asked if I was staying inside the park. It was so refreshing. Free fruit, lemonade, and snacks were available all day on the first floor. Such thoughtful attention to detail. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and would definitely stay here with my kids next time. I'd definitely choose this place. I hope it continues to do better. It would be perfect if the rooftop outdoor swimming pool was bigger, hahahaha, thank you for giving me a wonderful first day of traveling in Guilin☺️
This trip was a joyful and enjoyable one. Every scenic spot from Guilin to Yangshuo was breathtakingly beautiful, with mountains and rivers interspersed with lush greenery. It was truly stunning. Our driver, Master Min, was incredibly calm and skilled, courteous, and courteous. He provided detailed explanations along the way and provided excellent service. Thank you so much, Master Min, for your hard work! I'd also like to thank all the customer service and supervisors at Ctrip for their hard work. Thank you so much! 😎

Pemandangan sangat menarik disini, namun kurang kedai makanan muslim atau halal. Perlu perbanyak kedai makanan muslim di sini. Pemandu pelancong kami sangat baik meskipun beliau kurang fasih bercakap dalam bahasa inggeris
The Three Natural Bridges, along with the Longshuixia Ground Fissure and Fairy Mountain Forest Park we visited yesterday, are all part of the Fairy Mountain National Tourist Resort. Depending on your time and interests, you can purchase individual tickets for one or two of these, or a combined ticket for all (the price is the same). The visitor center offers multiple shuttle bus routes to various locations.
Time can take away everything, but it deliberately left the Three Natural Bridges for us.
The Three Natural Bridges (5A), a World Natural Heritage Site and National Geopark, features typical karst landforms. This remarkable creation of nature is a rare and unforgettable geological wonder (Figure 1).
Upon entering the scenic area, you'll first walk along a gently sloping cliffside viewing corridor several hundred meters long (Figure 2). After passing through a cave, take the 115-meter-high rotating sightseeing elevator (Figure 3) down to the midpoint. Then, descend hundreds of stone steps to the valley floor and follow the "Tang Dynasty Post Road" to the first natural bridge, the Tianlong Bridge.
Tianlong Bridge, named for its position as the first of the three bridges, features two through-holes, giving it a towering structure resembling a soaring dragon (Figure 4). The bridge is 235 meters high, 150 meters thick, and its arches are 96 meters high, with an average span of 34 meters. It exudes grandeur and grandeur, creating a majestic presence.
At the bottom of the Tianlong Bridge pit lies the Tianfuguan Posthouse (Figure 5), an ancient courtyard house built in the second year of the Wude reign of the Tang Dynasty. It served as an important posthouse for official communication in ancient times and is famous for being the filming location for the film "Curse of the Golden Flower."
The second overpass, Qinglong Bridge (Figure 6), stands at 281 meters high, the tallest of the three natural bridges and the highest karst natural bridge in the world. Its arches are 103 meters high, with an average span of 31 meters. Pausing to admire them, the through-holes resemble a "Green Dragon Crescent Blade." Looking back after crossing Qinglong Bridge, the through-holes resemble a "carp leaping over the dragon gate" (Figure 7). From a distance, the cliffs resemble "a divine eagle spreading its wings" (Figure 8).
The third sky bridge, the "Black Dragon Bridge," is named for its deep, dark, curved archway, resembling a black dragon winding across the ceiling. Its arch is 116 meters high, the highest of the three bridges; its deck is 193 meters wide, the widest of the three. Looking up from the bottom of the bridge, the arch appears lofty and vast, a towering cliff. A closer look at the arch reveals the silent, falling Pearl Spring (Figure 9).
The entire tour is a one-way route, with no backtracking, and the entire hike is approximately 3 kilometers. After exiting the scenic area, take a shuttle back to the visitor center, where the tour concludes, taking approximately 3 hours.

My first time in Guizhou was a bit unpredictable, as I had little experience with the area, so I was a bit lost. Fortunately, I met an experienced and enthusiastic guide, Xiao Li. On the bus, she explained the history of Zhijin Cave to us, allowing us to more fully immerse ourselves in the surroundings. She also provided us with many unique Guizhou snack streets and check-in spots, especially for our special forces travels. I'm very grateful to Xiao Li for her guidance, which made this Guizhou trip truly meaningful.
After leaving Kaili City, we made a last-minute trip to Zhijin Cave. It took us over two hours to explore, and it was definitely worth it! The entire experience was truly amazing, breathtakingly beautiful, like a fairyland, and incredibly stunning... I can't think of a better way to describe it. A must-visit for those in Guizhou!

Tour guide No. 3 was very enthusiastic. Although the explanation was similar, his personal style was better. There was some shopping and sales during the whole process, but not much. It was well integrated with the scene. Overall, it was worth it! (Want a cooler day!)
The first attraction in Guilin during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the ticket price is 100 yuan with the guided tour. The guide is also very serious. In addition to the guided tour, there are many interactive experience parts, which makes you spend your money happily. This is a very different experience. I wrote the word "Fu", experienced the exam, and saw the origin of the saying "Guilin landscape is the best under heaven". I really recommend it.
