It was a complete win! 🏯Play experience: Although the scenic area is not big, you can walk around it slowly in 20 minutes. But there are so many snacks that it’s dizzying. You can see a specialty shop every few steps. When you get tired of shopping, you can stop and feast on a delicious meal. You will feel extremely happy! If you enter the park before 4:30 pm, there is still some time before the lights of the Qilou are turned on. You might as well buy a cup of Cha Yan Yue Se at the entrance of the scenic area, find a corner to sit, and leisurely wait for the night to fall. The atmosphere is directly maximized~ 💃The show is awesome: Starting at 6 o'clock in the evening, various exciting programs will be performed one after another!

When you come to Zhangjiajie, you must go to the Seventy-Two Wonderful Towers. If you don’t go, you will regret it! Seventy-two Qilou is divided into two types: [daytime ticket] and [evening ticket]. The fees differ depending on the admission time. Daytime ticket: ¥10, entry before 16:30, no time limit Evening ticket: ¥88, entry after 16:30 The lights turn on at 19:00 at night. If you want to save money, you should enter the venue before 16:30 and wander around until the lights turn on. There are also various interactive performances to enjoy in the evening, and the performance items and times will be adjusted according to summer and winter time. There is also food, drink and entertainment inside, which I personally think is pretty good😊 We chartered a private car to visit Zhangjiajie. We had free time after arriving in Zhangjiajie on the first day. We chose to enter before 16:30, wander around and take photos. When we were tired, we found a cafe to sit down. It was not expensive at ¥19 for a cup of hand-made lemon tea, which was not particularly expensive😬 I took a lot of photos, from sunset to when the lights came on, I left after the lights came on, and then crossed the opposite road to take a panoramic view.

❗️❗️ If you have a strong interest in historical culture or want to deeply understand the historical background of Zhangjiajie, then the seventy-two arcades are definitely a place not to be missed. However, first-time visitors are very likely to step on landmines! Personal guide to avoid pitfalls: Before 4:30 PM, the entrance ticket is 20, and after that, the night ticket is 88, so arrive before the night session. Inside, it's not big; the first floor is basically all snack shops and stores. The taste is generally average, and there are very few local and ethnic specialties. The shopping and eating experience is quite poor. Performance programs: The purpose of coming here is to watch the performances. From 18:00 to 22:30, there are 30 continuous performances in various venues of the arcades. The highlights not to be missed are: 18:00 'Opening Drum' at the entrance; 18:20 'Ten Miles of Foreign Market' at the Republic of China Movie Street; 19:45 'Lighting the Arcades' at the Bonfire Square; 20:35 'A Lifetime of Love' at the Bonfire Square; 21:55 'Bonfire Party' at the Bonfire Square. Scenic spot guide: The arcades scenic area is a large night market. The lights turn on after 7 PM, and in summer, you have to wait until after 8 PM for it to be completely dark. The scenery after the lights are on is very spectacular. The night market has snack restaurants, bars, tea houses, jewelry stores, local specialties, and entertainment facilities such as photography, archery, and obstacle courses. After 7:30 PM, there are performances every half hour in the scenic area. You can see that the performances are carefully designed, not just random shows to fool tourists. Understanding the stories behind during the day and immersing in the ethnic atmosphere at night is truly wonderful.

Night Tour Guide! This time, let's explore the beautiful scenery near Zhangjiajie West Station, just a 4.8 km drive away. It's super convenient to take a taxi during the day, but there might be some congestion at night. If you want to enjoy the night, it's recommended to choose accommodation nearby for convenience and comfort. ❤️ Ticket Tips: Adult tickets are only 20 yuan if you enter the park before 16:30 (you can stay until the end of the night show), but after 16:30, the price goes up to 88 yuan. 🔔🔔 Schedule 🕐🕐: 1⃣ 16:30-17:30: Few people and nice sunshine, suitable for strolling, taking photos, and remembering the way. 2⃣ 17:30: The performance begins, and the Dream Square is located outside the city. You can overlook it from the city wall. 3⃣ The daytime performance is relatively short, so it's advised to arrive at the venue 2-3 minutes early to wait. 4⃣ 19:00: The towers light up with yellow lights, a great photo opportunity! Recommended spots: Ancient Tree Bridge, the back door of the Old Tea House. After taking photos, continue to enjoy the performance, as the later it gets, the more spectacular the shows! Food Experience : The food on Snack Street is similar to that of a hometown night market, but slightly more expensive. The roadside stalls outside the scenic area are very affordable, and if you want to save money, you can take away food to eat inside. Precautions and Lightning Guide : 1⃣ During peak season, the evenings are crowded, and it's easy to get lost if you don't follow the performance schedule. 2⃣ For those without photography experience or professional equipment, it's recommended to take more photos during the day. At night, the crowd is overwhelming and it's dark, making it difficult to get good shots. 3⃣ The bonfire party atmosphere is rather average, so it's suggested to go with lively companions! ❌❌ Consumer Trap Alert ❌❌: 1⃣ The tea house performance has a minimum charge of 18 yuan per cup of tea, which is not announced in advance, leading to congestion and chaos. Those who don't want to spend can't leave, and those who want to spend find it hard to get in, causing a complete blockage. 2⃣ Seating is limited, but the flow of people is not, and there is lax supervision, leading to situations where one person's consumption allows many to sneak in. If you haven't secured a seat in advance, it's advised not to consume blindly.

Friends who like to read can go to the reading hall.

72 Qilou is located at Zhangjiajie West High-speed Railway Station, about a fifteen-minute drive from Wuling Avenue. The entire building seems to be suspended in the air. It feels very magical and confusing. Inside, you can experience the psychedelic feeling of surprise every step of the way! I chose to arrive at dusk because I can feel the best of the scenery and light changes from dusk to night. In fact, a large area of ​​72 Qi Lou is occupied by restaurants and streets. Qi Lou only occupies about 10% of the area. There are various restaurants, bars and street food in other places. It is really a perfect place to enjoy Hunan street food. Great place. After seven o'clock every night, the lights are bright and magical. There are many different types of performances. There is a very special feeling in it. Come and experience it for yourself! ! !

📅 Itinerary Day 1: Take the high-speed train from Hong Kong to Zhangjiajie West, arriving at 2:55 PM. Use Gaode app to call a car to Orange Hotel. Before 4:30 PM, visit the 72 Wonders Building ($20 entry fee). Check the performance schedule inside (many shows last 5-10 minutes, pay attention to the locations).

The ride takes about 10 minutes. By around 2 PM, take the bus to Yuanjiajie and other areas (note: bad weather may block some roads, forcing you to take the cable car again, which can be uncomfortable for those afraid of heights). From the cable car station, take a bus to Ten-Mile Gallery and ride the small train (tickets required) to explore. Walk along Jinbian Stream to the South Gate (about 3 hours). Day 3: Visit Yellow Dragon Cave in the morning, which takes about 2 hours. A park guide is required. The tour includes walking, a boat ride, and stairs. Be cautious as the ground is slippery. There’s a luminous pearl shop midway (bargain for better prices; items outside the park are cheaper). Have lunch across the park entrance and take the high-speed train at around 3 PM to Furong Town. Arrive in about half an hour. Visit the waterfall during day and night, then explore both sides of the river. You can finish exploring in about an hour. Day 4: Take the 11:05 AM high-speed train to Fenghuang Ancient Town. It’s much larger than Furong Town! In the evening, find a bar to relax and enjoy the river view. Day 5: Originally planned to visit Miao Village, but a friend didn’t want to go due to the heat. Instead, we went karaoke for 5 hours ($68). Take the high-speed train back to Hong Kong in the afternoon. 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations: Orange Hotel Seven Points Homestay (affordable, very clean, and the driver and staff are extremely friendly). 🍴 Food Recommendations: 📌 Useful Tips: Eat before entering the 72 Wonders Building; prices inside are much cheaper than outside. High-speed train stations may not have suitable dining options or may be closed. Use the 12306 app to pre-order meals or buy food beforehand. We bought food near the hotel. Souvenirs in Fenghuang Ancient Town are cheaper than in Zhangjiajie.

The Seventy-Two Strange Towers offers *completely* different vibes day vs. night—daytime feels like a regular snack street, but after dark, the lights transform it into a *Spirited Away* dreamscape! **Best time to visit:** After 19:50 when lights turn on (arrive by 18:00 to secure a spot for performances). ▶ **Must-See Performances (18:00–22:30, nonstop):** - 18:00 *Drum Ceremony*: Grand opening ritual—unmissable! - 18:20 *Old Shanghai Streets*: Retro movie-set vibes, ultra-nostalgic~ - 19:45 *Lighting the Tower*: Bonfire square with dazzling lights + fireworks! - 20:35 *Love of a Lifetime*: Classic song renditions, max romance! - 21:55 *Bonfire Party*: Crowd goes wild—save time to join~ ▶ **Photo Tips:** - For full-view shots? *Don’t* shoot inside!
