Zuolong Gorge, the most amazing gorge in Central and South China, Xiangxi, Hunan

🐉Zuolong Gorge in Guzhang County, western Hunan has the first special tourist trail in China. All the tourist trails are built deep in the canyon, taking advantage of the mountains. They are carefully crafted but completely natural. And because all the trails are located between cliffs, it is not enough to just rely on the hands, feet and muscles to traverse, but also the will and the heart of gratitude to nature, so it is also known as the "Life Classroom". The landform of Zuolong Gorge was formed by 3 million years of crustal changes combined with wind erosion and water flow. 🌈It’s really amazing! Both the scenery and the climbing experience are amazing! A must go if you like the outdoors! 🌿Although it is very tiring, when you see those natural scenery, you will really marvel at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature! Especially suitable for a group of friends to take photos and check in! 🏞As soon as we walked in, there were many shallow creeks 🏞There were a lot of crabs in them 🦀️You can slip in and catch them! ⛰️You will encounter a lot of lake scenery during the journey, which is as good as the scenic spots in Yunnan and Sichuan🗾It is really super, the kind that can be seen directly from the original picture! After I posted it on Moments, people thought I was in Jiuzhaigou🙊 1⃣️Transportation🚗 We drove there🚗 from Jishou, and it took about an hour to reach the scenic spot. If you don’t plan to drive by yourself, you can choose to take the high-speed rail🚄 to Furong Town Station, and then take a taxi from Furong Town🚖 to Zuolong Gorge, which is very close! 2⃣️Play experience⛰️ Although it is steep in some places and the path along the wall is not easy to walk, it is still interesting. ⛰️The scenery is very rich, including plank roads, waterfalls, suspension bridges, cliffs... Because I took photos while walking📷, it took about 3 hours↔️ 3⃣️Feelings of the journey🗾 The first half of the walk was very comfortable, mostly walking along the stream and into the canyon. Halfway through the journey, you need to use both hands and feet. You need to pull the iron chain⛓️ and use artificially installed pedals to climb over the cliff. The second half of the journey is always ascending, and it is relatively steep. Don’t be too happy when you see the green sign for “Scenic Area Exit”! It takes about ten minutes to walk up the stairs to the village above. When I finally walked out of the stairs, I really doubted my life! ! It feels like a never-ending climb up the stairs! ! I almost cried when I climbed to the top! 💰 Ticket price: 40 yuan within Xiangxi Prefecture, about 78 yuan outside Xiangxi Prefecture (online ticket sales)
