Hunan Travel Notes | This is an easy trip

This is a trip that just goes away. So, how do we decide where to go? The answer is: lay out a map of China and circle any province. Therefore, the final demarcation was made - Hunan Province.

Since we have never taken a green train before, we chose to take a train to our destination. Although it took us 12 hours of long journey, we were still looking forward to our first green train. Just like how taking a train should be in my memory, we brought playing cards, instant noodles, snacks, and books. Bringing books was inspired by my friend who traveled with me last time. I enjoyed seeing him reading in the car, so I wanted to try it too.

As soon as we got on the bus and saw that the seats were empty, we asked: Can we sit without assigning seats? People around us said, "Okay, you can just free up your seats when someone comes later." So, we moved to a relatively spacious seat by the window and sat down, opposite two amiable and cute uncles. We originally wanted to join the table of landlords with our uncles, but unfortunately they didn't know how to do it, so we changed to "fishing for red spots". This style of play is only used by Chaoshan people. People around us were confused and aroused We caught the curiosity of a little brother next to us and asked him to fight landlords together. He said he wanted to see our style of playing, so we taught him while we were playing, but he still didn’t understand. Finally, we changed to pick up the train.

At this time, it was almost noon, and I felt a little sleepy, so I squinted for a while. The two uncles opposite us ate together. First they bought a bottle of wine to go with peanuts, then they took out home-cooked eggs, and then chicken legs. After I woke up, I read for a while. After that, there were more and more people, and the car became more and more crowded. It was no longer suitable for reading, so I chatted with the flower girl. We said that the uncle across from us was so cute, kind and cute; and after we moved our seats again, our eldest brother played with us in Landlords for nearly an hour. He also contributed to our laughter along the way, hahahaha... why? Because passengers moved their seats back and forth one after another in the car, and the people around me also changed one after another, but no one could move the eldest brother's seat.

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, the bus had passed several stations, and the passengers on the bus began to get off one after another. Luckily: we just caught the sunset. So, Hua Niang and I ran to the seats facing the sunset. People in the car were also led by us and stood up to watch the sunset. I turned around to look back at the car, and was actually moved by this moment.

This time, we changed seats again, and across from us was an old couple. They asked us where we were going, and we said we were going to Zhangjiajie. It happened that they were also returning to their hometown in Zhangjiajie, so we chatted with the two old people again in the second half of the trip. Hahaha, the two old people also laughed happily all the way. I wonder if the two old people's mentality at that time was: these two little girls are not fools, right? ? ?

Arrive at the inn at twelve o'clock at night.

Because we slept late the day before, we slept until noon. Fortunately, we spent this day on our own and didn’t plan any itinerary, so we walked around after lunch. First we went to the ancient city, and then we went to the riverside to watch the sunset.

The real first stop on the journey is: Tianmen Mountain. In fact, it is: go up the ropeway, go down the ropeway, and walk around the plank road on the mountain. On the way, I met an uncle carrying a water bag. I said, "Uncle, it seems that you often run in the mountains, right?" My uncle replied, "Little girl, it seems that you are not bad at all." Although I am just a human being. Little scumbag, but I was still very happy when I heard uncle's praise.

The second stop on the journey is: Wulingyuan. Before departure, the sister at the inn, Qian Dingzhuwan, warned us not to believe those who sell package tickets on the roadside, but we were fooled as soon as we left. Fortunately, when we went to the ticket center, we said: "This is different from what we thought. , we still prefer to travel independently." After that, he grabbed the suitcase and left.

When we arrived at Wulingyuan, the eldest brother from the inn came to pick us up. Later we found out that he was a relative of the inn owner. The real bosses are the uncle and aunt. We looked at the room and thought it was pretty good, with electric blankets. After tidying up, uncle and aunt came back from going out. They looked up and saw us and said hello to us. Of course, we also said hello to them. Then we went downstairs and chatted with them for a while. Then we asked: "Uncle and aunt, how will we eat tonight?" They said: "You can just eat with us tonight without paying." Uncle looked at us She is a Cantonese girl, and she specially cooked some non-spicy dishes, just for fear that we would not be used to them and would be overheated. After the meal, the aunt explained the Wulingyuan route to us, and we felt relieved after listening to it.

It was raining lightly on the way to Wulingyuan, so I was afraid that the weather would be bad and I wouldn’t be able to see anything. Fortunately, I was very satisfied with the day’s itinerary. I went to visit the Xihai Peak Forest that I was most looking forward to first, and happened to see the “Wonderland on Earth”, which was the same as Journey to the West. It was exactly the same as in the notes, and I was very satisfied. Then I went to Yangjiajie and saw the most beautiful peak forest.

On the way down the mountain, Hua Niang and I bought snacks and oranges. However, because Hua Niang didn’t carry a big bag and couldn’t hide the food, a monkey on the road cut off her beard and robbed her of three bags. Facts have proved: Hua Niang My mother is a woman who is loved by monkeys. Ha ha ha ha……

The third stop: Fenghuang Ancient City. This place is so special. You can arrive at any destination suddenly while walking, and it is completely different from what you expected. For the first time, I learned that the staff at the bus station would go to the train station entrance to hold up signs to attract visitors. After walking for a few dozen meters, I thought the empty space in front of me was the bus station. However, it was not the case. There was another staff member holding up signs halfway. Son, let's look back. "Hey, this store is actually a ticket office." Surprises are really everywhere! The buildings on the road are also very distinctive. There is almost no clear boundary between their old city and the new city. Sometimes the ancient ones appear on the left and right, and sometimes the ancient ones appear on the left and right. In the car, you can feel that you are going back and forth between the ancient and the modern. Shuttle and switch freely.

After arriving at the inn in Fenghuang Ancient City, it was time to reflect the mountain city again. Their second floor was just like our negative second floor, damp and humid. After hurriedly eating two mouthfuls of food, we went to watch the bonfire party - Xiangxi Corpse Driving. I didn’t want to go to watch it at first, but the innkeeper said: “It’s a must-see.” So I went to watch it. It was different from what I imagined, and the visual impact was not that strong. After watching the party, I went to see the "Lush Chang'an City", which is the night view of Fenghuang Ancient City. It was really beautiful, but I couldn't capture the visual experience with my mobile phone. It was late at night before strolling back to the inn.

The next day’s itinerary was to Miao Village, where we took a boat ride, walked through a cave, and watched a small waterfall. After that, we went to the theater. Because the weather was too hot, we sat on the stools of the security uncles. We happened to meet a few high-spirited uncles. During the chat, we learned that they were retired veterans, and one of them was a second-time soldier. Uncle, we were very curious and excited. They showed us their discharge certificates and medals. We were both excited, as if we were even more excited than them. They are really great. Although they are old, they all travel by car. They are excellent. Their comradeship that no one else can understand is really enviable. They seem to be the same young people as before.

After saying goodbye to the soldiers and uncles, we went to watch the performance of "Wutan Divine Song". After watching it, Hua Niang felt relieved about her fear of driving corpses in Xiangxi.

During this day's itinerary, we all listened carefully to the guide's explanations. What he said was quite interesting and we listened with great interest. It was another satisfying day.

The next day, we planned to go to Changsha, but before departure, we had to satisfy our little wish: wear Miao clothes. The Miao clothing is really beautiful and exquisite, mainly because it can block my amazing hairline. You see, my ordinary little wish has been temporarily realized, haha. Then we set off for Changsha, an 8-hour drive. It was already twelve o'clock at night, but we had been hungry all day, so we still had to go out for food. I ordered a portion of fried noodles, which was very salty, and Hua Niang had a portion of fake stinky tofu, which was very fake. Then, while there were not many people around, we drank a cup of tea that looked good. It was delicious and not expensive, but it was really not worth taking a high-speed train to have a cup of tea. It was a bit exaggerated. . .

On the second day of our trip to Changsha, we visited Taiping Street and ate snacks; we visited Wenheyou and took photos of Hong Kong scenery. I feel lucky and satisfied on this day because of beyond. As their biggest fan, I feel really happy listening to their songs for a day! What's more, they are like gods in my heart.

A new day starts with a bowl of fake fish meal, hahahaha, about my obsession with yellow bone fish meal. First, I walked around Yuelu Academy, and then walked around Orange Island in the rain at night. On the way back to the hotel, I met street singer Xu Wei. It reminded me of what Shasha said to me last time: "Dr. Li, there is something in your heart. A vicissitudes of life old man. "You taste it, you taste it carefully."

The last stop of the trip is: Chenzhou. The previous journey was quite smooth, but I didn't expect to get stuck at the last stop. Because the scenic spots are relatively remote, transportation is the most difficult. I went to Gaoyiring on the same day. This is the only place I have ever seen where the visual effect is better than the naked eye. The personal experience is really ordinary.

On the last day of the trip, I went to the long-awaited Yangtian Lake Prairie. Unfortunately, the weather was not good and I felt lonely, but the portraits were still good. I started eating skewers before I even started walking. The guy who skewered the skewers was from Liaoning. It was so funny to chat with him. I felt like he could bring out my accent anytime and anywhere. After the trip, we went directly to the high-speed rail station to return to our warm Guangdong. You all don’t know that it seems like it’s still winter in Hunan.

I tried my best, but it was so foggy that I couldn't see anything, so I could only put some portraits together to make up the picture.

This is the authentic yellow bone fish noodle. I have been looking for this bowl of noodle all over Hunan. I blame the brother who climbed Hengshan Mountain with us last time. I will probably always remember his expression when he drank the soup. So, this trip I've been looking for it, but I think this one definitely doesn't taste as good as his, judging from the expression on it.

What I gained from this trip: I read a book on the train during the entire trip; I love life, work, and Guangdong even more; I saw different scenery, met different people, and sighed The great rivers and mountains of the motherland and the warmth of a foreign society.
