Days 1-4
Zhangjiajie - The magical Secret Realm of Avatar
Entering Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, take the Bailong Sky Ladder directly to Yuanjiajie. Amidst the misty clouds, you will encounter the prototype of the suspended mountain in "Avatar", the "Qiankun Pillar", and experience the "Mountain God Fingerprint Stone" blessing ceremony led by a Tujia guide. Stroll along the cliff walkway of Yangjiajie, touch the huge dragon bone joint stone wall that was deposited on the seabed 380 million years ago, and listen to the ancient whispers of ferns in the crevices of the stones. When night falls, visit the Tujia brocade waterfall of the 72 Strange Towers, carve the silver ornaments with magpie patterns by hand, smash three bowls of corn wine to exchange for CDS of mountain songs, and let the Tujia charm permeate every pore.
Challenge the Guiguzi Plank Road on Tianmen Mountain, perform "Walking in the clouds" on the glass bridge of the bottomless abyss, and search for the footprints of Guiguzi on the rock walls of the "Sixteen Caves of Tianmen" to increase wisdom. Delve into the Tujia stilt houses, learn to pout the "Yangque Chirping" chili powder, and decode the "reverse hand embroidery" technique of Xilankapu brocade weaving. At the summit of Yuhu Peak, slow motion is used to capture the moment of the Buddha's light gilded by the sunset, and the whirlpool of the sea of clouds is interpreted to predict the clear sky of the next day, interweaving natural wonders and humanistic wisdom into a poem.
Boating on the Tuo River, I captured the lively scene of the flying silver flowers during the rock jumping in the morning mist. At Shen Congwen's former residence, I flipped through the old boat tickets of "Border Town Chadong" and sent a time letter with the postmark of Fenghuang. At the Hongqiao Night Banquet, light the lotus river lanterns written with cinnabar pens, sing "Jiao Ai Yi" to the girl in the Bird dress, and enjoy the "Long River Moonlight" rice wine in the stilt house under Huang Yongyu's painting. At the waterfall in Wang Village, Furong Town, one can walk along the five-mile-long stone-paved street in straw sandals, search for the hoof print stone slabs exclusive to the chieftain's mounts, and take a photo under the moonlight copper bell of Youyang Palace to catch the "heavenly light", allowing the lingering charm of the chieftain dynasty to linger in the heart.
Days 5-8
Xi 'an - Relive the glorious chapter of the Tang Dynasty
At the Xiaonanmen Morning Market, savor "Ma Family Oil Tea" with crushed twisted dough sticks and soft-boiled eggs. Stir the aroma of the twisted dough sticks to awaken your taste buds. Taste the bottom jujube paste steamer cake scooped by the old man, served with lotus leaf porridge to relieve the greasiness. In the Terracotta Army handicraft workshop, clay was thrown 300 times and mixed with loess from the Qinling Mountains to mold the Terracotta Warriors in armor. Armor plate patterns were engraved on the soles of their feet to restore the new archaeological discoveries. For cycling on the ancient city wall, choose an old Phoenix bike with a copper bell. Set off from Zhuque Gate with Bingfeng soda. Touch the arrow hole of Xuanzang's style. When the suspension bridge at Hanguang Gate drops, catch the moonlight of the Tang Dynasty seeping through the cracks of the city bricks.
In the Gao Family Compound on Hui Min Street, I watched the shadow play "Three Battles Against the White-Boned Demon" where Bajie somersaults to the audience. I also stuck real gold leaf on the shadow of the drunk empress as a memento. In the Shaanxi History Museum, use a purple lamp to search for the two characters "Tianqing" in the cracks of the porcelain ice. Touch the gilded copper silkworm in Hall 1 to ensure good fortune. In the Tang Dynasty's Ever-bright City, I exchanged the secret code "Yunxiang Yichang" with "Li Bai" in a crimson gauze robe and received a poem note. I enjoyed the Dunhuang color light and shadow of the flowing robes and feathered clothes on the stone steps square, and savored the sweet and sour taste of the "Drunken Concubine" hawthorn rice wine at Hu Ji's tavern.
The Xifeng Cableway leads directly to the Changkong Plank Road. Experience the thrill of a "roller coaster in the clouds" as the iron chains sway. Let your companions take pictures of the perilous scenes of people as small as ants on the opposite cliff. On Canglong Ridge, touch the stone tablet inscribed with "Han Yu's Letter" to seek a spring of inspiration and purchase the "Hua Shan Ping 'an" mineral water with the seal of a mountain carrier. At Hukou Waterfall, wear a free raincoat to closely observe the Longcao Waterfall. From 11:30 to 14:00, wait quietly for the rainbow magic refraction of the sunlight, listen to the shepherd boy's roar of "One Voice Will Shake the Mountains and Rivers", and let the Yellow River water settle the "Yellow River Sand Painting", allowing the power of nature and the passion of human culture to resonate together.
