Taking the kids on a wild adventure in Zhangjiajie! These 3 traps made me want to become Avatar

Sisters! Dragging my 7-year-old monkey kid to bravely storm the "Floating Mountain lair," my legs trembled every day like a sieve! The kid performed "gecko climbing" on the glass plank road, and the old mother had three bags of chips snatched by monkeys... Tearfully organizing a 3-day, 2-night survival guide, after reading it you can buy five fewer packs of band-aids‼️ 🏔️ Immortal cultivation itinerary (crippled legs version) Day 1⃣️: Tianmen Mountain cableway scared me to death 👉 Crawling on the glass plank road 👉 Being a "lighting hero" at the 72 Strange Buildings Day 2⃣️: Chasing Avatar at Yuanjiajie 👉 Crying on the Bailong Elevator 👉 Fighting Monkey King at Jinbian Stream Day 3⃣️: Chasing sunrise at Huangshizhai 👉 Turning into a Miao girl at Phoenix Ancient Town 👉 Crying with three packs of tissues on the way back ✅ Tianmen Mountain Cableway The 7,455-meter cableway turned the kid into a screaming chicken! When passing through the clouds, the kid shouted wildly: "Mom, we’re being sucked into a washing machine!" The 99 winding mountain roads made me dizzy despite taking motion sickness medicine, but the kid excitedly counted the bends: "The 88th bend has a laughing sheep!" ✅ Bailong Elevator A 1 minute 58 seconds skyward experience! The moment the elevator started, the kid tightly pinched my thigh: "We’re launching into outer space!" When rushing out of the mountaintop, the sunlight was dazzling, and the kid covered their eyes shouting: "My titanium alloy dog eyes are blinded!" ✅ Jinbian Stream Hiking The stream was so clear the kid insisted on scooping the moon! Ended up slipping and falling like a "stream mermaid," then picked up a stone saying it was a "moonlight gem from Monkey King"... When the wild monkey group suddenly attacked, my chips were snatched, but the kid laughed: "The Great Sage Equal to Heaven is here to collect protection fees!" 💣 Deadly three traps: 1⃣️ Tianmen Mountain tickets must be grabbed! The aunt next door queued for two hours on site, while the kid squatted on the ground finishing three books of "Dinosaurs vs. Avatar" 2⃣️ Don’t wear skirts on the glass plank road! The fierce wind lifted my sun-protective jacket, and the kid laughed until hiccupping: "Mom turned into Flying Batman!" 3⃣️ Phoenix Ancient Town travel photo assassin! The Miao costume rented for the kid lost sequins, paid 50 yuan saying it was "the tears of the Miao princess💧" 🍜 Foodie battlefield: ✔️ Fuzhengyi Three Pot Stew 🍲 Bacon + pork intestines aroma was intoxicating, the kid invented the "spicy soup soaked rice" cult eating method ✔️ South Gate Sour and Spicy Fern Root Noodles 🌶️ So slippery the chopsticks fought, the kid slurped noodles making vacuum cleaner noises ✔️ Blood Duck Sticky Rice 🦆 The sticky rice soaked in soup made the kid declare: "I want to marry this dish!" ✖️ Be cautious buying "wild honey" in scenic spots! Mixed with sugar water so sweet the kid danced on the spot: "Did the bees pee sugar?" 📸 Social media bomb photos: 1⃣️ Pretending to be scared hugging the pillar on the glass plank road (showing a "the world is ending" expression) 2⃣️ Side silhouette at Yuanjiajie Maze Platform (lifting the kid as "supporting the floating mountain") 3⃣️ Backlit water stepping at Jinbian Stream (capturing splashes creating a rainbow) 4⃣️ Night view of Tuojiang River in Phoenix Ancient Town (holding a lantern shooting a Miao girl) 5⃣️ Upward angle selfie at Bailong Elevator (glass reflection creating a sci-fi blockbuster) 🏡 Accommodation red and black list: ✔️ Huatian Grand Hotel: Breakfast rice noodles made the kid eat two bowls straight, the pool splashing became "boiled glutinous rice balls" ✔️ Wulingyuan Mountain View Homestay: Balcony hammock cured the kid’s morning grumpiness, cloud counting for half an hour and automatically falling asleep ✖️ A certain internet-famous starry sky room: Claimed to be a "stargazing artifact," but the roof glass was covered with bird droppings, the kid said it looked like "the galaxy got acne" ⚠️ Life-saving kit: ✔️ Phone anti-lost strap (saved the phone three times from monkey snatching) ✔️ Folding trekking pole (the kid played with it as the Golden Cudgel, hitting grass then dad) ✔️ Children’s knee pads (kneeling on the glass plank road is not embarrassing) ✔️ Portable fan (became a walking air conditioner while queuing) On the high-speed train back, the kid suddenly pulled out a pine cone: "This is a gift from the Floating Mountain spirit!" Although the clothes looked like they had rolled in mud every day, seeing his crooked "Avatar vs. Monkey" drawings in the book, this immortal cultivation trip was worth it! (💡 Soul advice: Bring ten pairs of socks for the kid! Three pairs got wet at Jinbian Stream, two pairs scared wet on Bailong Elevator, and the remaining five pairs were all snatched by monkeys...)
