Second, my Shennongjia is the best.
I grew up in Dongting water town, and I have seen many beautiful wetlands, but they are basically graceful roads. Dajiu Lake is different. Nine lakes are scattered among the mountains like pearls, which makes them more graceful and generous. On the day of the visit, the wind and rain were biting and the weather was bad, but the so-called disheveled clothes could not hide the national color. A beautiful woman like Dajiuhu was still beautiful.
Suffering from the cold and inconvenience, we had to stop at Lake No.2, then walk along the plank road from Cash Tree Station to Pinwu Lake and Pinliu Lake, finally arrived at Luyuan and hurried out of the park. Among them, Lake No.5 is definitely worth seeing: the green hills in the fog are arranged in a painting screen, surrounded by blue waves like mirrors, especially the endless meadow seems to have been knocked over by nature, and the different shades of red, yellow and green interweave the unique richness and enthusiasm of autumn. The continuous plank road is shaded by colorful leaves, leading us into one beautiful picture after another.
From Pingqian Village to Muyu Town, we will pass Prince Cliff, Forgetting Worry Terrace, Banyan Tree, Wind Lotus Terrace, Charming Wall, Watchtower, Shennong Valley, Xiaolongtan and Golden Monkey Ridge in turn. I searched the internet before I left, and the names of the scenic spots dazzled me. I only sort them out when I need to make an appointment. It turns out that they all belong to a scenic spot-Shennongding.
It's past noon after coming out of Dajiu Lake, and there are still many scenic spots in Shennongding that can't be checked in one by one, so we can only follow the recommendations in the Raiders.
Slate: When the fog dispersed, the golden rooster announced the dawn, and the chickens were waiting to be fed, and other stone forest forms were vividly presented. A path winds through the red, yellow and blue campus, and autumn is getting stronger, just in Qiu Guang.
Watchtower: It is reported that this is the highest place that ordinary tourists can visit Shennongjia at present. The so-called first whistle in central China is 2960 meters above sea level. Unfortunately, the vast sea of clouds has yielded nothing. Take a photo under the red flag at the top of the tower. This is a tour here.
Shennong Valley: I understand that Shennong Valley is a U-shaped valley between the two. We choose to enter from the hole with large footprints and climb long steps, and we are greeted by beautiful valley scenery. The mountain peaks are steep and covered with five-color autumn clothes; The boulder is abrupt and the lines are clear; The valley is deep, but I can't find the footprints of the savage. After a short walk along the plank road, we were discouraged from going any further by the staff, but it will be late, so we dare not easily challenge the distance of 4398 meters.
Of course, Golden Monkey Ridge is also very good.
Named after the golden monkey, but you can never see a golden monkey among the dense forest waterfalls here. It is said that after the development of tourism, the number of tourists increased, and the clever golden monkey retreated to deeper mountains.
You can laugh at the scenic spots that sell dog meat, but the beautiful scenery definitely makes you feel glad that you came. As soon as the car stopped, the golden monkey waterfall came into view, and the flying beads splashed jade, forcing people. Walking along the waterfall, the trees are deep, the fog is shallow and the fresh air is intoxicating. Mountain roads are winding, waterfalls are layered, and the sound of water is tinkling. Being in it, both body and mind are cool, and we are naturally happy.
In Swallow Cliff Scenic Area of Tian Yan Scenic Area, it suffered a low temperature of 2.3 degrees Celsius. There was a slight frost on the road, so we braved the rain and searched along the road with almost frozen hands. In the swallow cave, I saw some swallows flying back and forth. I think it should be the owner of Shan Ye, not Xie Wang. Flying over the bridge, standing in the clouds above the pass between two peaks, proud and lonely; When you go to the top, you can see the vast sea of clouds and looming mountains, which are called Buddha's light in the sea of clouds.
The most surprising thing is the rime landscape all over the mountain. Green yew and red maple leaves are covered with crystal clear ice curtains. Yushu Qiongzhi was wrapped in colorful, shining with an unreal fantasy light. Because I have never climbed mountains in cold weather, this scene is the first time in my life. People can't help feeling that in the biting wind and rain, only when they can't bear to freeze their feet can they appreciate the world of the sea of clouds and Qiong Yao.
Just because of a casual stop, I met the most beautiful maple on the gallery road. Just standing quietly on the stream of Rhinoceros Valley by the roadside, swaying in the cold wind of autumn in Hongping Town, Shennongjia.
Red is brilliant, yellow is dazzling and green is pleasing to the eye. Several colors are intertwined and harmonious, rich and harmonious. The traces of wind and frost are thick and light, and the memory of years is deep and shallow. Standing alone in a painting, he doesn't care whether to decorate the lens of tourists, but only wants to burn his own life.
The first-line ladder in Langgu, Hongping Town, also known as Shennong ladder, has more than 500 steps, which is extremely steep and steep.
Four people in the same trade * * *, glad that the rain stopped, resolutely decided to climb the horizon. I only climbed a hundred steps, some stopped to catch my breath and some regretted it, but I didn't look back and had to climb up step by step.
After a stop-and-go, I finally walked through the Gallery Valley in an hour and a half, and it was more than 5 kilometers. What I saw along the way, called the gallery, is a bit exaggerated, but the scenery is beautiful, the forest is deep and the road is quiet. I'm glad you came at last.
Tianshengqiao Scenic Area: Walking leisurely along the stream, the water is rushing along the way, the bridges are criss-crossing, the trees are shaded, the rocks are rugged, and the pool water is crystal clear, but it has its own natural beauty without whitewashing.
Xiangxi Garden Scenic Area: Waterfalls splash all the way, the mountains are deep and the roads are slippery, which is a good place to nourish the heart, keep fit and wash the lungs.
Compared with the two, there is a certain similarity, but the source of Xiangxi lacks the shock point, and the whole is slightly inferior. The starting point of Tiansheng Bridge is the climax: not far from the entrance, you can see the water curtain waterfall "flying down three thousands of feet" from the middle of the cliff gap, and the beads splash like thunder, hitting the depths and "rolling up thousands of piles of snow", creating a misty rain and fog, which has great visual and psychological impact. If time is not so abundant, I prefer to choose Tianshengqiao.
There are two old people in Shennong altar:
An old tree: On the hillside, there is a hemlock 1200 years old. Its branches are vigorous and its crown is vigorous. Although it has been many years, it is still full of vitality.
Anzu: an altar in the scenic spot, dedicated to Shennong, one of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, in Yan Di. Climb Ditan Square first, then climb 243 steps before visiting the Temple of Heaven. The ancestor Shennong's head is shaped like a horn, facing the mountains and overlooking all beings, and the majestic atmosphere of the world is coming. In this regard, I only have three bows to show the piety of future generations.
Facing the drizzle, it feels good to punch in at Guanmenshan, visit the landscape and see the exhibition hall.
More profound or unique memory points are as follows:
Nearby: Near Muyu Town. It's three or four minutes' drive from the residence. However, the scenic spot is large, and it is not bad to drive around.
The beauty of mountains and rivers: clouds surround mountains, colorful trees block streams, and the natural scenery is beautiful.
Joy of knowledge: The Animal and Plant Museum introduces the rich animals and plants in Shennongjia in detail, and the physical specimens are dizzying.
Lonely panda: There is only one lonely panda in the museum. Perhaps it is a star who is used to being watched by thousands of people, lying motionless on the highland with a supercilious laziness.
Disappearing golden pheasant: I drove to the golden pheasant pavilion at the end of the scenic spot, but I heard on the radio that the golden pheasant had been released into nature due to the COVID-19 epidemic, and I couldn't help laughing.
Underground river = big wine cellar: I was attracted to the cave by the sign of underground river, only to find that it was originally a place to hide and sell wine. But it's good. This is the first time I have seen wine hidden in a natural cave.
Beekeeping on the cliff: The cliff is covered with many square beehives. Is it for decoration, or do you really keep bees here? I don't have the guts, and I can't open the box for inspection.
The beauty of Shennongjia has one of the most common decorations, that is, the shades are alternating, looming, and never leaving-fog.
She has eroded the top of the mountain for a long time, and she often entangles in the forest; Sometimes she drives you at night, and sometimes she breaks into your cheerful scene. When the fog is thick, how can I tell through these clouds? It is white; The fog fades, the mountains are glimpsed, and the autumn colors occasionally bloom, which is suspected to be a fairyland in Qiongchi; The fog was blown away by the wind, and the mountains were all red and the forests were all dyed. The beautiful scenery surprised the tourists, and they couldn't help but stop and linger.
Changde, my hometown, is close to Hubei, and there is little difference in accent and taste between the two places. Therefore, there is nothing inappropriate about the food in Shennongjia. Eating home-cooked dishes such as hot pot with dried pork feet and fried bacon with pepper, I feel particularly cordial.
What makes the four people in the same trade full of praise is the cold water fish of Xiao Qiao's family in Hongping Town. It seems that all the restaurants in a row have brands of cold water fish. It must be a local specialty. We walked into a house at random and got delicious food. A fresh fish weighing more than two kilograms was weighed at the scene, with tofu, potatoes, konjac and Chinese cabbage. I also stewed a hot pot all over the place, which was steaming and delicious, making people unable to stop chopsticks.
Hubei Province has launched the activity of "Walking with Love and Traveling in Hubei". By the end of 65438+February, 2020, you can visit the scenic spots in Hubei Province for free as long as you make an appointment.
It was after I decided to travel to Shennongjia on National Day that I discovered and paid attention to this good news. Through the official WeChat account, you can make an appointment with five colleagues at a time, which is very simple. All scenic spots in Shennongjia only need to scan the reservation code to verify, and Zhaojun Village needs to change paper tickets, but the overall feeling is quite good.
We tourists really get benefits, but we are also a little distressed by the staff in the scenic spot, who are busy and have no income. However, through the free ticket, it promoted the consumption of catering, accommodation and shopping, and improved the reputation. Hubei province's overall account is definitely not a loss.
In addition, I also answered a question on this trip to Shennongjia.
We live in a homestay in Muyu Town. But I'm a little confused: since we live in Muyu Town, why is the Muyu Town Government 10 km away on the map?
On the last night, we specially drove to Muyu Town for dinner and found that it was also a small town. Ask the locals and Baidu to know that Muyu Town was formed by the merger of the original Muyu Town and Honghua Town. The inn where we live is in the former Muyu Town, and now the town government is stationed in the Honghuaping community where the former Honghuaping Town is located.
I see!
There are two "most" belong to this trip to road trip, but they don't belong to Shennongjia. Appendices are used to store:
Drive through Badong County, Shennongxi and Lu Yu. Castle peak is steep, flowing water is swift, white clouds are common in the distance, and waterfalls splash in front of you, which makes you feel generous and magnificent.
It suddenly occurred to me that many, many years ago, when my child was very young, I once took a boat trip to Shennong River. The little sister of the tour guide is gentle and lovely, and the little guy has been letting her hug and crying and refused to give up.
Now my son has grown into a big boy with a height of 180. He is busy with his studies and can't travel with us. I can only feel that time flies and the sun flies.
A Shennong River actually made me pregnant with an old one.
On the way to Shennongjia, I made a short stop in Zhaojun Town. Knowing that there is Zhaojun Village in 4A scenic spot, Brother Huang became fascinated. On the way back, I saw the scenic spots beside the national highway, so as to accommodate him and satisfy his desire to meet peerless beauty.
Almost as I expected, this is an artificial scenic spot built on the basis of historical celebrities, but the planners and builders are still very careful, with deep courtyards and many exhibition halls. Let's have a look. After so many years, the historical sites should no longer exist, but the beautiful scenery has left many legends, which shows that the ancients and present people are also gossiping. "I can't describe the origin of my will, so I killed Mao Yanshou in vain", "She went out from the purple palace to the desert, and now she has become a green grave in the yellow dusk" ... Scholars and poets throughout the ages seem to be keen on chanting this beautiful woman with stories.
When I got back to the bus after swimming, I sent a feeling to Brother Huang: Why didn't one of the four most beautiful women in China be selected after the Tang Dynasty? It is said that the Anshi Rebellion was the turning point of China feudal society from prosperity to decline. After that, even the beautiful women fell?
