1) The forms of tourism: We are in the "Zhangjiajie Tourism Network" (http://www.okzjj.com) to find a travel agency, service quite good, guides better, according to our requests were randomly adjusted the best route. Our six-member delegation from the proposed use of a separate trip into a group, guided tours and a full two small van; consider the National Day stay tight places from the tour package meals not included. But I think unless it is Jiejia season outings, can self-tour. Semi-self-help tour is also good, but travel agents and guides the quality of service is critical.
2) Traffic: I October 1 by 10:36 am Shanghai West Station 1607 times (Wuxi - Huaihua) way to Shanghai by train, at 12:00 on October 2 around to Zhangjiajie station, but our destination was Bangladesh dong River Station (14:00 to over a), the fare of about 200 (hard sleeper standard). Back by the 1608 times, at 14 o'clock on October 6 Zhangjiajie station over the next 16:00 to Shanghai. Some waste of time, and train very tired, especially Jiejia period, I return to those times 1608 times the train was originally only by 8,9 100 people, went so far into the nearly 2,000 people! The conductor said, people still more than the Spring Festival travel season. 27 hours on the train is bitterly painful traumatic experience. So do not go out after the train ride, at least at times this holiday can not be mixing.
3) scenery: mountains in Zhangjiajie is too beautiful! Definitely better than less Huang Shan, the two are different styles complement each other. But the general travel arrangements for the regular attractions are not the best point of Mountain View, for example Huangshizhai very different in many scenic spots, the team must travel to the "six qi Corner" is really not up to much, but "before the Garden" a beautiful , travel agencies where there is no contract. They must be self-tour!! Not yet been fully developed Yuanjia Jie (near the best in the world Bridge), where the mountain is really fascinating, and the momentum of the surging more than Huangshizhai and Tianzishan pretty much. Strongly recommended: best in the world bridge, the back garden (also known as Imperial Garden), Huanglong Cave, Baofeng Hu, as well as Bangladesh river rafting holes.
4) Food & Beverage:
A. Zhangjiajie restaurant dishes in general partial expensive, scenic expensive off than urban areas. Gegen fried bacon, rock ears, acid corn scrambled eggs are of local characteristics, it is worth tasting. By car from Shuiraosimen to the Yellow Dragon Cave is about 10 minutes, there is a "Silver are Tujia restaurant" tastes good, water centipede (ie, deep-fried pupae), chukar, Jinbian fish is very tasty. But do not go to the urban areas of the same name was a "Silver" events, food expensive, less taste bad, but poor service!
B. in the urban area close to the "people's theater" has a lively snack street, there are various varieties of deep-fried string, 5 cents a bunch, a few will be able to eat the money stays full, including snail dishes, fried bananas ( 1 yuan), glutinous rice Baba, black stinky tofu is very tasty, few of us eat and hate only their stomach is too small (^_^)
C. breakfast can try urban chain operation "Snow clouds big package", 5 corner a big one, there are many varieties, I like meat, mushrooms and bamboo shoots pepper packets, spicy and juicy, come back in a hot soy milk , 1 yuan per cup, enough to get you to go hiking in good spirits.
D. Kiwi is the local specialty, but be sure to buy the kind of small wild kiwi, some bigger than the egg yolk, as long as the money 1 yuan a catty, sour taste, very fresh. Tour guide told us that the kind of big one's long cultivated kiwifruit are.
5) Note!
A. in the mountains there will be the local Tujia Ren peddling pairs of men and women who shaped fleece-flower root, all false, Do not buy. But do not go to pierce through, otherwise you are surrounded and attacked a group of people will have to know where the original, but a bandit.
B. peers in a river in Phnom Penh along the way bought some mountain herbal medicines, was found to inform the tour guide will eat poisoning, pretty fortunate unfortunate species. Our guides were very good, he recommends us to urban areas the largest supermarket chains, "Maney Department Stores" buy native products, authentic stuff and the price is fair, the locals themselves are going there. He told us that travel agents generally provide tour guides taking tourists to some designated specialty shops, so that rebates can be collected from each visitor, though not to such stores will be fake, but the price is slightly expensive. The worst is the style stalls, often Zhicijiagao. (Maney Store: Zhangjiajie People's Road 15. I'm not advertise Yeah, I was there bought many mushroom, Kudzu powder, the address is in the loaded goods found on plastic bags).
