Chenzhou - Fengyiling - A unique Danxia landform landscape

Prepare before departure Documents: ID card, student card Electronics: mobile phone, charger, earphones, power bank, camera Gaoyiling The beauty of Gaoyiling's Danxia landform is not only in the integration of mountains and waters, but also in the intermingling of trees and rocks, and even more in the crisscrossing mountain bodies that bite into each other, which is acclaimed as a place forgotten by God. The most cost-effective public transport: Self-driving/chartered car, a bunch of Guangdong A/B license plates parked in the scenic area parking lot Taxi, about 80 yuan from Chenzhou city area to the scenic area~ (Due to the remote location of the scenic area, it might be difficult to hail a taxi late, it's more cost-effective to arrange a carpool if there are many people. Bus, there are express buses 501/817 from the city area passing through Gaoyiling (Kind reminder, Chenzhou buses do not stop if no one is getting on or off, so wave when you see the bus coming, and press the bell in advance to get off. City buses are all 1 yuan, express buses charge a few yuan based on distance, both can be paid with a ride code. 501/817 these express buses, bus platforms Mountain climbing strategy: First park the car at the north gate parking lot P, buy tickets online, actually, you can buy tickets at any gate, adult tickets, children's tickets. Because we were climbing with 2 children, entering from the north gate would take 4.5 hours, and it's scorching sun. Found a local car at the north gate, 100 yuan for 4 people to take us to the west gate entrance. You might ask if you can drive to the west gate yourself, first of all, traffic jam, the west gate is all mountain roads, and you still need to find a place to park P, traffic jam, from the west gate you can only walk back the same way to get the car. So, park at the north gate, charter a car to the west gate, climb to the north gate to see the full scenery and get the car. If you are chartered to Gaoyiling, get off directly at the west gate West gate stops entry at 5 pm, it's best to arrive by 4:30 pm, the sun is also setting, not so hot. There are also motorcycles at the west gate entrance, 15-20 yuan per person to take you close to the top of a mountain, it's best to take it, don't save that money, because there are several more mountains to come. A few steps from the motorcycle endpoint, you can see the Hsast landscape mountain, a 20-minute walk to reach, this is just one of them, there are drone aerial photography services, you can also bring your own drone to shoot. If too tired, you can also directly return to the west gate from here, there are more fun things to do if you continue walking There are mountain top swings, thrilling zip lines, mountain top bicycles, 50 yuan per person to experience, personally think it's enough to try one. Continue over 2~3 mountain tops, Lizard Lake, Green Hat, Giant Rock Town, to reach the north gate exit The whole journey takes 3 hours, legs are soft, but all the major scenic spots have been seen, satisfied. The sun is also not so fierce in the afternoon. Pay attention to sun protection, beware of heatstroke Pay attention to hydration, water is super expensive up there, 10~12 yuan per bottle, super knee-wrecking! Legs hurt and feel weak. The weather is changeable during May Day, definitely bring a coat, raincoat,
