Walking through the corridor of time, encounter the retro romance of the seventy-two arcades

❗️❗️ If you have a strong interest in historical culture or want to deeply understand the historical background of Zhangjiajie, then the seventy-two arcades are definitely a place not to be missed. However, first-time visitors are very likely to step on landmines! Personal guide to avoid pitfalls: Before 4:30 PM, the entrance ticket is 20, and after that, the night ticket is 88, so arrive before the night session. Inside, it's not big; the first floor is basically all snack shops and stores. The taste is generally average, and there are very few local and ethnic specialties. The shopping and eating experience is quite poor. Performance programs: The purpose of coming here is to watch the performances. From 18:00 to 22:30, there are 30 continuous performances in various venues of the arcades. The highlights not to be missed are: 18:00 'Opening Drum' at the entrance; 18:20 'Ten Miles of Foreign Market' at the Republic of China Movie Street; 19:45 'Lighting the Arcades' at the Bonfire Square; 20:35 'A Lifetime of Love' at the Bonfire Square; 21:55 'Bonfire Party' at the Bonfire Square. Scenic spot guide: The arcades scenic area is a large night market. The lights turn on after 7 PM, and in summer, you have to wait until after 8 PM for it to be completely dark. The scenery after the lights are on is very spectacular. The night market has snack restaurants, bars, tea houses, jewelry stores, local specialties, and entertainment facilities such as photography, archery, and obstacle courses. After 7:30 PM, there are performances every half hour in the scenic area. You can see that the performances are carefully designed, not just random shows to fool tourists. Understanding the stories behind during the day and immersing in the ethnic atmosphere at night is truly wonderful.
