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!

The house is a very old stilt house, and it really looks like an ancient Miao village. It's just that the commercial atmosphere is a bit too much, like a large-scale performance or filming site. The air is filled with the smoky smell of barbecue. If you don't want to take pictures and check in, there is really no need to go.
Amazing! As a foreigner who speaks minimum Chinese, it was very easy to get to the location (from Guiyang) and navigate around it because everything was clearly marked in English, and the location itself is absolutely stunning, one of my favorites in China. Highly recommended, a couple of hours enough if you're on a tight schedule, double that if you want to soak in the scenery, culture and traditions. Feels like you time travel into the past or are in a movie set!

The Wulong Three Natural Bridges (Tianlong Bridge, Qinglong Bridge, and Heilong Bridge) are the world's largest natural karst bridge complex. Located in Wulong, Chongqing, they are renowned for their majestic and precipitous beauty. Each spanning a canyon, the three natural stone bridges, each exceeding 200 meters in height, exude a majestic aura. Underneath the bridges lie deep cenotes and lush vegetation. Filming locations for "Curse of the Golden Flower" and "Transformers: Age of Ultron" were also featured here. The scenic area, dotted with the ancient building of "Tianfu Official Posthouse," creates a three-dimensional landscape of "bridge, cenote, cave, and waterfall." This unique combination of geological wonders and cultural charm makes it a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known as "Earth's Karst Wonder."
Well-arranged trip with good hospitality. We are very happy. It’s worth the money.

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 scenery is delightful, and the place is quiet and uncrowded, perfect for relaxing. It's just my style. There are rice paddies and fishing. The hotel and guesthouse on the mountain are also nice, with stunning views.
My first visit to the Longji Rice Terraces was truly breathtaking. The terraces are truly magnificent. I also highly recommend the guesthouse we stayed at, Lingli Yisu, which occupies the highest point of Jinfoding. The terraces offer sweeping views, and the mushroom chicken left a lingering aftertaste.

Wang Baiwan spent his entire life repairing bridges and roads and supporting charity, though he himself had no idea how much he had donated. Even until his death, he never slacked off: offering incense sticks.
Today, the incense stick has become the core attraction of the Enshi Grand Canyon. Many visitors, upon seeing the incense sticks, are filled with deep reverence. I'll be waiting for you in the Enshi Grand Canyon!
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.

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.

Dusk bathes the Tuojiang River, and fishing lights begin to illuminate. The gentle rocking of pleasure boats shatters the shadows of lanterns in the water. Lanterns hang from the eaves of stilt houses, and folk songs drift across stone bridges in the evening breeze. Night fog lingers on both banks, the sound of water mingles with laughter, and the gentleness of the ancient city quietly spreads across the clear waters.
The ripples of the Tuojiang River carry the shadows of stilt houses, while a rainbow bridge spans the water, connecting the fireworks on both sides. Shen Congwen's former residence holds the scent of ink, while the Wanming Pagoda stands in the twilight. Footsteps echo on the stone pavement, while the ancient city walls bear witness to the passage of time. The charm of western Hunan flows quietly through the morning mist and smoke.
