In early June, I took my child and a 70-year-old to visit the area. It was easy; both the main cable car and the cable cars within the scenic area were very convenient. Avoiding peak crowds, the queues weren't too long.
It was quite good; there weren't many people during the off-season, so there were no queues, and the cable car was very smooth with passengers boarding immediately. The restrooms were also clean and odorless. It would be even better if the distances were marked on the route signs so that tourists could assess their physical condition and choose accordingly. There were many rest areas throughout the scenic area, and each rest area had designated smoking areas. Doesn't smoking pollute the environment? However, there was no free water supply, such as filtered water or hot water. Also, the glass walkway required an additional fee.

We were so lucky to come in low season and didn't see too many people. Actually it seemed like we were alone almost all the time
Visiting Zhangjiajie National Park was an unforgettable experience. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking — the towering sandstone pillars, lush forests, and misty valleys look like something straight out of a fantasy movie. Every viewpoint feels unique, and it’s impossible not to be amazed by the sheer scale and beauty of the landscape

Fanjingshan boasts many iconic scenic spots, such as the Red Cloud Golden Summit, Mushroom Rock, and Ten Thousand Scrolls of Scriptures, all with unique and astonishing shapes. Standing on the mountain, one can gaze upon the surrounding peaks; the scenery is breathtaking on a clear day, while on a cloudy day, the swirling clouds and mist create an atmosphere reminiscent of a fairyland.
Fanjingshan truly lives up to its name as the "City in the Sky"—the air quality is amazing! The cable car saves 5-6 hours on the ascent, which is fantastic! There's still a climb up some steps after getting off the cable car, which is quite tiring. But once you reach Pudu Square and see the steep and narrow Red Cloud Golden Summit, it's all worth it. Remember to book your park entry time and Red Cloud Golden Summit climbing time in advance. There's a temple in Pudu Square, and they offer free porridge starting at 11:30 AM—it's very heartwarming.

This is a heavily commercialized tourist attraction, but the night view is still worth seeing. Several trendy cafes are located on the hill opposite the main commercial area. Wearing comfortable walking shoes will make the trip much easier.
A fantastic guesthouse experience! The location is incredibly convenient, the rooms are clean and hygienic, the facilities are complete, and the owner is warm and welcoming, even offering helpful travel recommendations. Definitely worth staying here! A truly satisfying trip.

Honestly amazing views, I’d recommend visiting to anyone. The walk is not long, but in the summer it’s important you bring water.
It's pretty refreshing to recharge your energy after a long month. However, make sure to keep fit before taking a trip here. Otherwise you will face a nightmare after the trip haha. Ps: you can consider to skip Longshuixia since the vibes between two places are likely similar.

I've been to dozens of caves before, and I used to think they were all pretty much the same. The ones that impressed me the most were Huanglong Cave and Silver Cave. But I never expected that Zhijin Cave would far exceed my expectations. It is the most amazing cave I have ever seen!
It's very convenient to drive there; the roads are wide, and the underground parking lot is spacious and easy to park. There's a food street downstairs, and shopping malls are nearby. The rooms are large and clean, and there are many elevators, so even on higher floors, you won't have to wait long. Overall, the experience was excellent, and I would definitely consider coming back again.

It's definitely worth a visit; the park has a beautiful environment and you can easily spend two hours there. The pandas are all sleeping in the early morning. It's a great place to bring children to get close to nature; they could easily spend a whole day there!
Tickets are 24 yuan on Ctrip, 25 yuan on-site. The interior is very green, divided into different areas, with pandas, elephants, lions, tigers, deer, alpacas, various snakes, goldfish… I don't really like visiting zoos, I only came because my family does. The pandas were lying around and didn't seem to move much, and the elephants' poop was huge, hahaha 😄

I. Qingyan Braised Pig's Trotters
The braising liquid for these pig's trotters is made from over ten kinds of precious Chinese medicinal herbs, simmered over a low flame. After cooking, it's served with local specialty Shuanghua vinegar, creating a truly authentic Qingyan pig's trotter experience. The trotters are incredibly fragrant and tender, rich yet not greasy. Qingyan braised pig's trotters have a long history, dating back over a hundred years, and are also known as "Zhuangyuan Trotters" (Scholar's Trotters).
II. Huang Family Rose Sugar
Qingyan Huang Family Rose Sugar originated in Jiangxi and was introduced to Qingyan during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is made using a traditional Huang family recipe, now improved by Huang Linsheng, the tenth-generation inheritor. Using high-quality ingredients such as malt, glutinous rice, and rose petals, it undergoes thirteen meticulous processes with spring water. The result is a sweet and refreshing drink with the soft, chewy texture of malt and the delicate fragrance of rose honey, making it an excellent choice for tourist souvenirs.
III. Prickly Pear Glutinous Rice Wine
Prickly pears are a popular food, but their uses extend beyond just eating them directly; they can also be used to make wine. The people of Qingyan Ancient Town all know that wine brewed from prickly pears is exceptionally fragrant and mellow, with a unique flavor and texture. It is precisely because of this that prickly pear glutinous rice wine has become a major specialty of Qingyan Ancient Town, attracting a constant stream of visitors every year. Prickly pear glutinous rice wine not only tastes delicious but is also very beneficial to health. It is rich in various amino acids, vitamins, and active substances beneficial to human health, and has effects such as anti-cancer, anti-epidemic, cholesterol-lowering, and prevention of coronary heart disease.
IV. Qingyan Chicken Chili Peppers
Because freshly cooked chicken chili peppers don't taste as good as cold ones, they have now been developed into a convenient food product. Produced in bulk, customers can pick them up as they arrive, which is both convenient and quick, and the taste is even better than freshly cooked chicken chili peppers.
Besides the above-mentioned delicacies, Qingyan boasts many other unique and delicious snacks, such as Yangjia Salted Vegetables from the Ancient Town, Iced Yangmei (Chinese bayberry), Wooden Hammer Crisp, Guizhou Bull Demon King (a type of pastry), as well as Lao Tusi Filled Cake, Miwang Shanlan Crisp, Qingyan Tofu, Tofu Fruit, Tofu Balls, and many more, too numerous to mention.
V. Lao Tusi Filled Cake
This is a traditional Han Chinese snack from Guizhou, a customary food for the Qingming Festival. The history of making this cake dates back over 100 years, with many specialized stalls operating throughout Guizhou before and after the liberation. Early cakes were shaped like mooncakes, with fillings including ham, red bean paste, rose petals, and white sugar. They were pan-fried in a little lard over low heat until both sides were slightly golden brown, resulting in a fragrant, crispy, and sweet treat. Today, the varieties of cakes in Guizhou vary greatly depending on the fillings, and their flavors and shapes are also diverse.
VI. Wooden Hammer Pastry
Wooden hammer pastry is made by mixing cooked sugar syrup with roasted dried fruit, placing the mixture on a homemade work surface, and then quickly pounding it with wooden hammers by two strong men until it forms a thin, crumbly paste. It is then cut while still hot. It is fragrant, crispy, and sweet but not cloying. The dried fruit used is made from carefully selected green ingredients such as osmanthus, monk fruit, walnuts, peanuts, and sesame seeds.

To pay tribute to the athletes, Enshi Grand Canyon Scenic Area is offering free admission to all participants, allowing them to experience the geological wonders and cultural heritage of the Grand Canyon, as well as the warmth and friendliness of the people of the canyon, in addition to their competition.
Then, we entered G242 and S249. Along the way, rolling mountains and lush green trees provided a refreshing breeze, invigorating the senses. The runners sped through the verdant hills and clear streams, navigating the geological wonders at breakneck speed. Their figures were a perfect backdrop to the verdant mountains and crystal-clear creeks.
