Tips for a day trip to Tianmen Mountain

The May to go to the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, not the rainy season, not peak season, to go to the small partners in advance to look at the weather ah.

The time is right for the flight, noon just happened to Zhangjiajie downtown, in the airport can see yuanjiajie scenic area. would like to go to find food, accidentally found that the driver master to recommend a delicious place, right next to the city museum, decided to go to the museum first.

I did not expect a tourist place of the city museum, there will be such a wealth of unearthed relics, from the Neolithic era has been to the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China have. Unfortunately, there is no lecturer, do not understand the geographic location of Zhangjiajie, see a walk.

Back to make up the lesson, Zhangjiajie City, the reason why a large number of cultural relics have been unearthed, and its unique geographic environment, historical status and multicultural intermingling is closely related.

Eat three pots, spicy beef buns and dragon bone radish soup, and the store attached to the red bean paste small round, ordering sister also taught me to grab a coupon discount.

In order to pass the time also went to the new net red attractions, seventy-two strange building, looking back is a strange dream, there are lock bone Gong jianghu artists, there are over the top parody show people, and is said to be very famous calligraphy masters in the sale of calligraphy and painting.

Netflix iron flowers have not been seen before, bright and shiny, in the light show, programmed beautiful flying fairy, expressionless face to complete her steel cable flying part-time job. Inexplicably there was a sense of absurdity, with the lights shining and the singing, but it was as if I was outside of all that. All kinds of regular Netflix snacks leave no desire to eat.

Stayed in the Tianmen Mountain ropeway opposite, so that in the morning, get up, eat breakfast can go directly to the mountain, remember to bring a little water and food, of course, the mountain is also sold.

(A sentence to make clear the ABC line:

A line first take the longest ropeway directly to the top of the mountain, then take the through-the-mountain elevator or go down 999 steps to reach the Tianmen Cave, take the fast short ropeway to the mountain gate, and take the car down the mountain;

Line B takes a car up to the mountain, fast ropeway directly to Tianmen Cave, then take the mountain-piercing elevator or climb 999 steps up to the top of the mountain, after that, take the longest ropeway down to the mountain;

Line C is a bus ride, then a short cable car ride, and a fast cable car ride up and down the mountain. (The entrances to both lines are in the same place in the city.)

chose the B line, a very smooth tour of the circle, because it rained in the afternoon, did not continue to go to the west line of glass trestle, took the top of the small cable car down to the ropeway station, this small cable car is open cable car, in the top of the trees through, you can see the flowers and trees in full bloom, lush vegetation, the distant rocks and trees is super beautiful, speed is not fast, it is highly recommended to sit.

After the bus off is the cable car station, there are sky fox theater, will blink fox model lying on the roof.

The road has a lot of plants and bugs, don’t rush can slowly look, a lot of subtle discoveries, will be a burst of cheers with friends, I hope to always be curious about everything.

There is a kind of tree leaves will spit water, later found out it is a worm spit.

Smell a dark fragrance floating, there are white flowers fell on the stone path, know the picture turned out to be wild jasmine, and then also saw a lot of rosaceae plants, is also fragrant, deep and shallow aroma, there are different and similar.

Vegetation is very rich, the weather is also cloudy, walking does not feel hot at all, do not feel thirsty, the air is well hydrated.

Tianmen Cave is not big from a distance, but when you stand in front of it, you feel very small. Unhesitatingly chose to take the elevator, that 999 levels look bad enough. In the stone wall to see the traces of fossils, the vicissitudes of the world figuratively.

Saw the previous road, twisting and winding, imagine these beautiful scenery was found, saw the original undeveloped beauty will have to be how shocking.

I think this elevator through the mountain is super long ah, really save a lot of energy, relatively narrow can stand a person, guess when there are many people may be very crowded.

After the elevator through the mountain to the Tianmen Cave, look up at the mouth of the cave, the water drops from high up, the rocks and knots clearly, if not a crowd, would like to stay here for a long time, as if to penetrate the universe of time and space.

Tianmen Cave is one of the world’s highest natural cave through the mountain, geologists speculate that its formation may undergo millions of years of geological evolution, is a typical karst landscape.

I think it is totally different from Yunnan Stone Forest, which has no plants growing on the rocks and is sharper.

Tianmen Mountain is mainly composed of limestone, which is easily penetrated by underground water containing carbon dioxide along the fissures, and formed underground cave system by long-term dissolution. Later, the earth’s crust uplifted and was gradually lifted to the surface, and the top of the cave collapsed due to gravity, which formed a huge cave through the mountain, and the wind and rain erosion made the cave expanding. Before the earth disappears, it will also disappear.

China’s karst landforms are widely distributed, affected by the nature of the main rocks in different areas, climatic conditions, tectonic movements and hydrological environment, the landscape is obviously different, Yangshuo, Guilin, is a typical tower-like peak forests, Libo, Guizhou, the river runs through the forests and caves, the

Wulong, Chongqing, where crustal movements are so strong that rock layers collapse to form sinkholes.

Yunnan’s stone forests are mainly dense sword-like and columnar stone forests.

Thick layers of limestone are dissolved by rainwater along fissures, forming sharp pillars.

The highland climate, with large temperature differences between day and night, and physical weathering promote rock disintegration. (The rapid rise of the earth’s crust and the strong erosion of surface water form towering stone forests rather than peak clusters.)

Along the way, you can walk to the east line glass bridge, and then reach the Tianmen Mountain Temple, you can see the top of the mountain Yunmengxian Dome, directly by open-air cable car to reach, after the tour and then take an elevator to the ropeway station, take the longest ropeway directly down the mountain. If you need to visit the west line again, you need to be in the Tianmen Mountain Temple fork in the road, choose to go towards the west line glass bridge direction.

Open-air cable car I like, like a chivalrous man in flight, see the distant mountains sparse, woods and flowers, hear the frogs in the streams, cicadas and birds, fortunately, it did not rain, I think it must also be very woeful.

Later, it rained, and I was in a hurry to go down the mountain. I should have continued to take the western route, and occasionally I regret that it is part of traveling.

The next day to go to furong ancient town, live near the east gate, down the mountain after the meal moved to wulingyuan national park.

B&B next to the Golden Whip Creek caged in the vapor, after the rain water tumbling, foggy, creek stone Linlang, a year Pong wantonly open, in the distance is the east gate sign tower. I feel like I can play all day by the river.
