    Explore Fenghuang Ancient Town during the off-season. Less crowds, perfect for taking photos. Hotels are cheaper, traffic is light, and parking is convenient. Fenghuang Ancient Town is a place worth experiencing in depth. The town's culture, the morning scenery along the Tuojiang River, and the birdsong and fragrant flowers in the mountaintop park are all worth savoring. This ancient town, home to Shen Congwen's former residence, is worth a visit. Choose a spot and quietly relax for two or three days.

    I drove into the parking lot a day in advance and stayed in the car. It rained heavily at night and drizzled during the day. It was foggy, so I didn't go to the cliff path because I couldn't see anything. I just went to the bridge to take a look.

    It's worth a visit. After all, it's a national-level building. Yes, let me tell you about Aizhai. The Aizhai Bridge scenic area has a glass plank walkway, but it's not very interesting. Half a day is enough for Aizhai Bridge. The official itinerary is difficult to understand. The Aizhai Miao village of Dehang below is interesting and worth a visit. Jidou Miao Village is simple and authentic. The service at Aizhai Bridge is average, directions are difficult, and communication is difficult. I took a lot of photos at Aizhai Bridge, but there's actually a fee later.

    Furongzhen is absolutely incredible and despite some hype from western social media is still underrated compared to the nearby Fenghuang Ancient Town. I recommend spending a night staying in Furongzhen, arriving at night and leaving in the morning so you can experience the empty streets of the town late at night. Highly recommend.

    Tongren canyons karst cliffs, clear emerald river water, waterfalls such as the Xiaolongtan Waterfall, forested slopes and misty canyon ambience. Offers many activities such as rafting, rock walking, sky walks and zip line To get there from tongren you can take a taxi directly or take the No 20 bus from tongren train station to Daxing then take a taxi.

    Border Town, the border town described by the master writer Shen Congwen. I made a special trip to stop by, even getting off the highway in Chongqing. I exited the highway at Hong'an, Chongqing, and arrived at the "Three Provinces in One Scene" scenic area. Crossing the bridge, I reached Chadong in Hunan, entered the Border Town Chadong Scenic Area, and walked along the river to the end, climbing the mountain to see Cuicui Residence and the White Pagoda. I originally planned to visit the Three Provinces Viewpoint, but halfway up, I realized I was short on time and turned back. On the return trip, I arrived at the Lala Ferry Terminal (there are boat tours for 25 yuan, but I didn't have time and had to skip it). I took the Lala Ferry for 2 yuan back to Hong'an, Chongqing (it felt a bit like the Ciqikou Wharf). Walking along the street, I checked out the Liu-Deng Army's March into Southwest China Exhibition Hall. Then I walked back to the parking lot and drove away. The whole trip took 2.5 hours. The border town isn't large, and the commercial atmosphere isn't strong. A typical visit takes about 3-4 hours, but a more in-depth tour could include an overnight stay. Enjoy a boat ride, feel the gentle river breeze, experience the tranquility of the border town, and perhaps even discover the pure and beautiful humanity of Cui Cui. Features: The town is permeated with "Cui Cui" culture. It features stone steps reminiscent of Chongqing's Hong'an, and bluestone paths reminiscent of Hunan's Chadong. Chongqing's Hong'an restaurants are mostly hot pot restaurants, while Chadong has a plethora of noodle shops. The Guizhou side is also full of sour fish soup. Disadvantages: Construction is still underway in Chongqing's Hong'an area, which negatively impacts the experience. Ideally, construction should be fenced off to prevent tourists from seeing the buildings. If I weren't in a rush, I would love to stay here for several more days.

    As my first Via Ferrata, it was an exciting experience. The difficult part was deciding on Route A or B; it would have been great to do both in one day. It was a foggy and drizzly day, so views were partially obscured by fog. Via Ferratas have a grading system - not sure what the QiXing Shan one is. As a rock climber, it’s not particularly challenging. Mostly traversing, down-climbing and the finale of the sky ladder. For someone afraid of heights it may be a bit nerve-wrecking as there’s a fair bit of exposure. However with the clip-in system, it’s actually very safe - just don’t tailgate the person in front of you in case they slip to last clip-in point. In fact, the group I was in moved very slowly, so a lot of time was spent waiting for people in front to move along. Route A took about 3 hrs. Overall - very enjoyable and a great experience. It was the highlight of my Zhangjiajie trip!

    It's easy to book a slot with trip.com. I was worried I couldn't get a slot due to last minute booking but with trip.com I was able to get a morning slot even when I just book the evening before. Tianmen mountain was amazing, climbed the 999 steps and took a never ending escalator. Unfortunately, on the day of my visit it was raining, cold and windy. Nonetheless, I came prepared with a raincoat.

    Amazing architecture. With the night lights, spectacular view. Photo was taken opposite the street. Tip: Don’t need to enter the area, needs entrance ticket, mainly stalls selling merchandise which you can get else where.

    The stay was excellent. Xiao Deng and Xiao Tang provided great service, the room was comfortable, and I slept soundly. It's also close to the high-speed rail station, making transportation convenient. The food was also delicious. I'll definitely come back next time.
