    "The scenery of Daqing River is still good, that is, it is a bit too long to take a boat for half an hour, and then find a place to rest, and then go to the Butterfly Valley and then go to the platform to take pictures. Overall, it is good to put it in the middle of the Grand Canyon and the stone forest as a rest adjustment."

It is scientific, safe, and magnificent. Welcome SongThe Welcoming Pine, which is estimated to be nearly a thousand years old, grows proudly on the cliff, as if opening its arms to welcome tourists from all over the world.

    "Because it is rainy, the experience is not very good. People see the blue core valley. I see the black heart valley. The overall distance is just right. It is six kilometers away. It has a magic carpet and an elevator. The first half is the plank road, the second half is the bottom of the valley, and finally a little mountain road. Envy the sunny days to have the sun shine into the valley"

The Attraction starts from Zuofangcao in the north, overlooks Baiyan Mountain in the south, Baidi Poetry City in the west, and Wushan Airport in the east, stretching for more than 10 kilometers.

It was successfully opened on May 1, 2020 and was rated as a national AAAA-level tourist Attraction in October 2020. The top of the Three Gorges is located in one of the birthplaces of ancient Kui music more than 4,000 years ago, where a musician in Chinese history and the originator of elegant music, "Kui", was born. The Attraction deeply integrates green mountains and clear waters with tracing one's roots, singing and dancing, and elegant music, writing in thick ink the magnificent landscape of "green mountains are a painting without ink for thousands of years, and green waters are a zither without strings for thousands of years", and carefully creates the Kui drum altar, the four-view music altar, the statue of the ancestor of music, the Kui gate, the bamboo rhythm railing, the Yinglongtai and other music holy places.

    "Baidi City • Quantang Gorge Scenic Area is far from Fengjie City. If you don't drive by yourself, you can choose to take a taxi, a tourist bus (from Fengjie High-speed Railway Station) or take bus 403 at Fengjie Binjiang International. The scenic spot is divided into Baidi Island and Jiangxia Island Hall. There are free shuttle boats in the scenic area to connect the two islands. The ferry boats depart every half an hour, and it only takes a few minutes to land one way. The main attractions in Baidi Island are the Baidi Temple, which has the interpretation of Liu Beituo's orphan scene and the landscape of Zhaoliexuan, Star Watching Pavilion, Bailou, and East and West Stele Forest. In addition, there is also an anus observation deck on Baidi Island to see the anus from afar, as well as attractions such as Du Fu and Zhuge Liang statues. Jiangxia Island mainly has Jiangxia Cultural Museum (with the ancient elephant hall of the Anus), Laoguan Temple, Chijia Building (to the bottom of the building can see the fort and macaque), Suojiang iron pillar and other landscapes, in Chijia Building can also see the Anus from a distance. There is a mountain climbing trail in Jiangxia Island to walk 9.6 kilometers to the top of the Three Gorges Scenic Area, but it was temporarily closed due to weather conditions. The in-depth tour of the Quantang Gorge and the ferry boat in the scenic area are all on the Zhongyi Wharf of Baidi Island in the scenic spot. There are three boats in the Quantang Gorge in-depth tour a day, one at 10:30, 13:30, and 15:30. There is air conditioning on the first floor of the ship, and the cooling effect is not bad. But after the boat opened, it was mainly to view the view at the bow. The in-depth tour is mainly to take a boat to watch the Litang Gorge up close, and the whole journey takes about 1 hour. The whole Baidi City • Litang Gorge Scenic Area has beautiful scenery, and the Limen and Litang Gorge are majestic and magnificent, which is still worth seeing."

    "We arranged a 4-day stay in Zhangjiajie at the end of September, and placed high hopes on Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and Tianmenshan National Forest Park. Objectively speaking, the two attractions have first-class landscapes and impressive landform characteristics, but there is a little regret that the logo work of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is too bad, and there is no respect for individual customers. Fortunately, we have done a lot of strategies, overcome many difficulties and unpleasantness, and finally successfully realized our trip to Zhangjiajie. Specific suggestions: increase efforts to increase/sign cards, let employees think about the problem (direction) from the perspective of tourists, and set more points to distribute maps. For example, we have a two-day tour plan in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and the first day (East Gate) was lost and missed Yangjiajie. The next day (South Gate enters) the first stop and then searches for Yangjiajie. First of all, if you can go to this attraction, you will ask 1 volunteer + 2 staff. If you are lucky, you can finally reply. Secondly, Yangjiajie attractions are scattered, and you can see that there is only one corresponding scenic map, no logo! We were helpless, asked the aunt who bought fruit, she probably pointed a direction. In this way, with countless lost men, women and children tourists friends, we were confused and resolute, and we were lucky to find a step to the sky and Wulang worship Buddha! In management, luck or luck is not a good word. In addition, there are maps everywhere in Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area, but Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is not too easy to find a map. Also find a phone to ask for advice, the reply is always less scenic spots, find a tour guide! Zhangjiajie is too beautiful, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is a legacy, such a beautiful scenery should be seen by more tourists and seen happily! I hope that the corresponding department can make some necessary improvements to make Chinese and foreign friends experience better, and come to Zhangjiajie to check in more!"

For those who enjoy long walks, they will not be disappointed by the abundance of dense forests and high mountain peaks that are ready to be explored.
