Be sure to focus your attention on the magnificent structure of Tianmen Cave; taking the elevator that traverses the mountain is the best way to experience its vertical heights; in addition, taking the cable car also offers breathtaking natural scenery. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و✧*｡
The advantage of route B is that it's less crowded going up the mountain. At the top, you can get a number for the cable car, then explore the west route and come back just in time for the cable car down the mountain. The east route is also beautiful. We explored the east route first, returned to Li Na's villa to get a number around 2 pm, and then got a number around 4 pm to get on the cable car. Then we explored the west route and came back, just in time for the cable car down the mountain. Perfect.

The place is great but the ticket policy not clear for foreigners. The park entry ticket + cable cars turn out to be quite costly in the end. Still a nice experience.
Reservations must be made two or three days in advance. It's best to purchase multiple cable car trips. The scenery is beautiful and well worth the trip.
One suggestion is to trim the trees and grass around the scenic spot, as they obscure the photo ops.

Fanjing Mountain is definitely worth a visit. Besides the 🍄 rock, the highlights include the Old Golden Summit and the Red Golden Summit. I've been watching livestreams of Fanjing Mountain every day lately, and it rained a bit when we went to climb. I recommend wearing a jacket, hiking boots, and a raincoat, and avoid going during peak hours and holidays, as the lines are incredibly long.
Five-star reviews for the Fanjingshan Cableway
🚡 A great climbing aid: The cableway operates smoothly and comfortably, significantly saving energy and allowing more visitors to easily reach the summit of Fanjingshan and witness the breathtaking Twin Peaks!
⏱️ Efficiency Tip: Optimizing the online ticketing system for faster confirmation and reduced wait times compared to on-site ticket sales would be a perfect experience.
🌄 Stunning Scenery: The mist-shrouded route creates a fairyland-like experience, offering the perfect way to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Fanjingshan!
In summary: Convenient, safe, and with stunning scenery, this is a highly recommended option for travelers seeking a relaxing and enjoyable experience of Fanjingshan!

Well-arranged trip with good hospitality. We are very happy. It’s worth the money.
The Three Natural Bridges are worth a visit; they're incredibly refreshing. The entire walk took two hours. For three adults and one child, it wasn't tiring. We brought some snacks and ate as we walked. There's no need to take the sightseeing bus at the end; it's only a 15-minute walk. You do have to climb some stairs first, but the bus ride is only five minutes. A bit of a stretch, though. Elderly people who can't walk would still recommend taking the bus.

A person sitting on the Yangtze River cableway just can occupy the window. Watching the Yangtze River water flowing at the foot, the houses on both sides slowly retreated, suddenly felt that the city of Chongqing was really interesting. The landscape and the buildings were crowded together, but they were not messy. The river breeze came in, the hair was muddy, and no one helped me. I took out my mobile phone and took a video, accompanied by the sentence "a person's Yangtze River roaming", although I didn't send a circle of friends, but I was very happy to watch it.
When we entered the carriage, he rushed to sit by the window and let me lean on his shoulder. Looking at the Yangtze River water under our feet, he said that our feelings were like this river, long-lasting. The river breeze blew in, and he helped me tidy up my messed up hair. Seeing the high-rise buildings on both sides of the river, he suddenly said: "In the future, we will also have a small home of our own in this city." It was sweet all the way.

The price was very reasonable! The zoo is huge, with a variety of animals, including giant pandas. The number of pandas is second only to the Chengdu Giant Panda Base. There's also a play area, making it a great place to take the kids. The only downside was that the temperature was a bit high on our visit, and the whole family was overheated. We recommend finding a cooler day to enjoy the fun.
A very nice place, seeing the Red Panda for the first time, it was hot if you are willing to visit during Summer plan to go as early as you can, to catch the Pandas

Traveling to Hubei, Enshi Grand Canyon. The scenery is stunning, and the people are so welcoming ❤️. I was exhausted, but the experience was breathtaking and breathtaking. Yunlong Ground Crack, Luck Waterfall, Rainbow 🌈. I spent a stick of incense watching 👀. Exhausted, yet filled with awe at the beauty of nature 🍃. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The leg strain 🦵 was worth it. Hubei is a tourist-friendly city 🌆. Dogs are allowed in the scenic area 🐶, which is another heartwarming 💗 attraction. Kudos to the Hubei Tourism Bureau 👍. The overall planning and design of the scenic area is sound and safe. The stylish elements of Ledong Mountain ⛰️ Valley 🎵 have been incorporated into the 5A scenic area, adding vitality 💖 to the area. They fully consider the physical needs of visitors. There's everything from the train 🚞, cable car 🚡, elevator 🛗, and escalator downhill... I highly recommend buying full tickets 💰 This way, you can get up early in the morning to visit Qixingzhai and then go to Yunlong Ground Crack in the afternoon. This is with full tickets. It's quite physically demanding and will definitely punish anyone who doesn't exercise regularly. 🏋️♀️ This canyon scenic spot is worth a lifetime visit. Highly recommended.
Wang Baiwan, whose real name was Wang Guangchao, was a family resident of Enshi. "Wang Baiwan" was the nickname his fellow villagers gave him after his family prospered. Legend has it that the night before his birth, his mother dreamed of a Bodhisattva riding a cloud into her womb, and early that morning, she gave birth to Wang Baiwan. A nearby fortune teller said that dreaming of a Bodhisattva in the womb meant the child would be rich and powerful, but would need to worship the Bodhisattva of Heaven for the rest of his life. The family only had a wooden carving of the Bodhisattva, so where was the Bodhisattva of Heaven? What was the Bodhisattva of Heaven? His mother sought information from many sources, but to no avail.

It is spectacular to take pictures outside, especially after the night lights are turned on. After 8 o'clock, there are various performances, and finally there is a bonfire party, which lasts until 11 o'clock. It is very carnival. There are also various snacks inside, so you definitely won't go hungry. The ticket price is very worth it!
Arrived at 11:00 am, it felt like a private place, quiet, and the feeling of slowly swimming down was also good. I visited the Zhuangyuan Building, Confucius House, etc. It was good! But I didn't see the performance, which was a little regretful.

The glory of the historical Jin merchants in Shanxi, Pingyao Ancient City, his glory reflects the glory of Chinese history, its special architecture, special business, special shops, special folk customs
The ancient town of Lishui Phoenix is located in the middle reaches of the Shechuan River in the southeast of Lishui County, Shangluo City, Shaanxi Province, Qinlingnan. It has a long history. The following details introduce its history to you: The Tang Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty: According to the "Lishui County Zhi", Fenghuang Town was built in Tang Wude in the seven years (624 AD), The Tang and Song Dynasty was called "Sanchahekou", because Shechuan River, Zao River, and Shuidigou met here; the Yuan Dynasty was called "Shechuanhe Township Capital". ● Ming and Qing Dynasties: 15 years after Ming Chenghua (1479 AD), it was called "Shechuanli" and "Shang Mengli"; during Qing Jiaqing, it was renamed "Phoenix mouth", because it was named after the mountain in the southwest of Phoenix Mountain. Ming Jingtai was a county in Zhen'an, Shaanxi Province, from 1452 AD to 1961, and was transferred to Lishui County in September 1961.● Republic of China: The Republic of China 30 years (1941) was renamed "Phoenix Town". The name came from the night scene: Every time the lights are lit at night, standing on the mountain to the east of the ancient town overlooking, the networked streets are like a fire phoenix that is spreading and flying, so they are named. ● The legend says: Legend has it that a phoenix has fallen on the mountain in the south of the town, and the ancient town has thus been named Phoenix Town. Business and Trade Rise and Fall ● Prosperity period: historically, the Phoenix Water Road traffic is very convenient, the Shechuan River is injected into the Money River, and the Money River is integrated into the Han River. It is an important water and drought dock connecting the Yangtze River and the Yellow River water system. In the early years of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, merchants in Yu, Shanghai, Sichuan and other places fancy the advantages of developed water transportation here, and come here to do business and live in peace. During the Qingdao light years, Phoenix mouth to Xi'an's Huma Road was opened, and the water transported here and then sent to Hubei and other places. Business travel was gathered, and a fixed market was formed here. During Jiaqing, the business boomed, known as "small Shanghai", the early years of the Republic of China at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the merchant brand, shops and Qianzhuang were all over, forming 32 large merchants, becoming an important business and trade town, the northern mountain goods through this water transport south, Jiangnan silk, rice through this dry road into the customs. ● Decline period: After the 1930s, with the shrinking of water transportation and the improvement of road traffic, the ancient town of Phoenix lost its previous prosperity. The architectural characteristic ancient town buildings were generally built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, retaining more than 60 Ming and Qing Dynasties, most of which follow the Hui style architectural style. It is the only ancient town building community found in Shaanxi Province that is well preserved in the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. It is also the largest in the northwest region. The most complete ancient buildings of Jianghan Huizhou. The buildings are mostly former shops and back houses, with paved floors that are not wide enough, and the house is 30 or 40 meters deep. The courtyard layout is "Four Waters Returns Hall", separated by a horse-head firewall between households. Revolutionary history is an important revolutionary base area. In 1932, the Red Four Army passed through this town during the strategic transfer process; in 1934-1935, the Red Twenty-five Army came to the edge of Shaanxi, which is one of the important areas of its activities, and one of the core of the Yu-Shaanxi Revolutionary Base. The place name of "Phoenix mouth" appeared dozens of times in the memoirs of the history of the Red Twenty-five Army. The 1946 Central Plains breakout forces also followed.

How can old Chongqing people not come to Hongyadong!
Endless beauty, with folk buildings with historical heritage on one side and high-rise buildings of the new era on the other, showing the uniqueness of Chongqing. As a Shanghainese, I feel that the beauty is not inferior to the Bund. There are always a lot of people every time I go there, and there are also many hot pot restaurants around, so I must try it.
Chongqing has mountains and waters, and I personally like this city very much.
Hongyadong has many special scenic spots, such as the main sculpture of "Memory Mountain City" on the 11th floor, which represents the mountain city culture. The "Hongya Dripping Green" on the 4th floor has flying pearls and splashing jade, and the scenery varies in different seasons. The "Reunion 1980" block on the 5th floor allows people to travel back to the 1980s. There are also the legendary statues of Zhiyan River and Han Que, and the night view is even more dazzling and charming, just like the real version of the scene of "Spirited Away". Convenient transportation, Metro Lines 1 and 6, and multiple bus routes. There are many delicious foods around.
