Let's go hiking! Zhangshiyan!

I was attracted by the sandstone landform and accidentally saw the strange peak. This scenic spot has been lying in my notebook for more than three years, and finally it was a chance to go. National AAAA-level tourist area Zhangshiyan is located in Zanhua County, southwest of Shijiazhuang. It is the essence of Taihang Mountain Forest Park. Its characteristic scenic spot is a large natural echo wall. The scenic area covers an area of about 120 square kilometers. Standing at the highest point of the scenic area, Huang'an Keng (altitude 1774 meters), you can see two provinces and five counties. The landform of the entire Zhangshiyan tourist area is "Zhangshiyan landform", which is called the three major tourist sandstone landforms in China together with Danxia landform and Zhangjiajie landform. Zhangshiyan Scenic Area is divided into four parts: Huang'an Keng (main peak) Scenic Area, Zhihutao (Echo Wall) Scenic Area, Dongling Background Area and Jiunvfeng Scenic Area. It usually takes about 2 days to visit the entire Zhangshiyan Scenic Area. Temperature: I think the average temperature here is at least 10 degrees lower than that in the urban area. Clothing: In summer, remember to wear sunscreen, sun hat, comfortable hiking shoes or travel shoes, preferably thick-soled. In spring and autumn, wear a windbreaker. Preparation: Hiking poles are very necessary, it is recommended to prepare 2, sunscreen, water, and snacks in your backpack. The conditions on the mountain are relatively limited, there are mineral water and instant noodles for sale. Tickets: Buy a scenic spot joint ticket (sightseeing ticket + sightseeing bus) 85 yuan. The sightseeing bus takes about 15 minutes, all the way up, feeling the cool breeze. You can get off at the scenic spot you want to go to, or you can transfer. The joint ticket is valid for 2 days, and the sightseeing bus is valid for the day. For partners with sufficient time, you can play for two days. Restaurant: There are restaurants in the scenic area, but there are very few. It is recommended to bring some food. Accommodation is available in the scenic area, there are many homestays. Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. The scenic area can be driven into after 18:00, so if you want to stay overnight, you can finish the day's tour and drive into the scenic area. Stay near the scenic spot you want to go to the next day, so you can save the sightseeing bus fee on that day. We have limited time, only visited Jiunvfeng Scenic Area (also the essence of Zhangshiyan) and kept climbing --- Laojun Ding observation deck overlooking the Taihang Mountains is indeed shocking, (about 1500 meters above sea level, photographed at 1490 road sign), downhill in turn passing --- Zhangshiyan Jiunvfeng (said to be the place where fairies descend), ----- One-meter cliff (my legs are trembling, really nervous, my lover is still very brave haha, friends with acrophobia, can fight against acrophobia), and Tianzhu (the location of the Taihang Mountain stamp), this way is to seriously absorb negative ions and enjoy the gifts of nature. Knock on the blackboard: It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the gate to the slide, which feels good. After the slide, continue climbing the mountain. I don't think it will take an hour if you don't rush. You can take a slide to save time uphill, buy a separate ticket (this is recommended, no discomfort, feel the change of vegetation with altitude along the way), you can take a magic carpet downhill (friends who are not tired can walk, I really feel uncomfortable, PP is very uncomfortable). Because of family affairs, I didn't go to other scenic spots. There are always regrets in travel. Next time I come, I will go to other places to have a look.
