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,
As soon as you enter the parking lot, someone beckoned you to stop at the location of the non-scenic road, and then said that you would take you to a shortcut, and the charge was 80 yuan, which was actually unnecessary. From the south gate, the first cable bridge on the left is the fastest to go up the mountain (Figure 1), go to the high-altitude swing (Figure 2), take the nearby scenery (Figure 3 Figure 4) and return along the road. It takes two hours to walk and pat. If you go south and north, it is estimated that four hours. It is recommended to enter around 3 pm, don't doubt, you can indeed go to your doubtful life! 😂
The main entrance of the scenic spot is the south gate. There are storage, rest area, and parking spaces. The south gate is completely gone. The feeling is not bad. There are many stools, rest areas, simple small transactions (water 5 yuan, ice jelly 5 yuan, instant noodles 13 yuan) on the mountain. The charges are quite reasonable. We stopped for three hours, a person who was not exercising often did not feel very tired, and felt that the amount of exercise was just right. ❗️ tips: After entering the south gate, facing the lake, walking to the left hand side of the suspension bridge route is more essence, and the upper ladder is less and the lower ladder is more labor-saving. But this direction is the opposite of the departure direction set by the scenic spot. On the road, the tour group is set to go to one-third according to the scenic spot. There are too many stairs to stand, so I go back...
Going at the end of November, the weather is still hot and very sun. There are similar landforms nearby, very interesting, and the scenery is good. It is said that there are cruise ships when there is a lot of water in summer, and there is no dry water period in autumn.
Traveling to Guangdong, the travel companion said that there are friends in Zhangzhou, and it is not far to go to see, we followed, originally thinking about seeing friends, there is not much expectation for the attractions. Starting to the import of the imitation stonehenge also laughed at a bit, forwarded two hundred meters, climbed the hill, was shocked by the boulder lake, the green lake lined with ink boulders more spectacular, vast, in which to lament the magnificent beauty of nature.
Before I came, I was very resistant to the high fare of 98 yuan (network ticket 95), but after I came, I felt that the scenery here is definitely worth the price. I think it is more beautiful than many of the so-called 5A attractions I have been to before. No wonder the propaganda slogan dares to pretend to be "place forgotten by God". I bought a ticket from Trip.com one day in advance. I can scan the code directly to enter the park. It is very convenient. However, I have to pay attention to the online ticket that I can only enter from the south gate (main gate). I asked the staff and said that the north gate can only enter. My hotel lives near Luowei. I took a taxi directly in the morning (the destination is entered into the Gaoyiling South Gate ticket office). The fare is only more than 20 one-way. It is very convenient to arrive in ten minutes. If the bus has seen the need to change and wait for the bus, it is too turn away. The infrastructure here is now very complete, especially the bathroom is quite a lot, there are chairs and so on everywhere, the visitor center and ticket gate of Nuoda, and a four-star hotel is seen at the south gate. There are several iron cable bridges, cliff glass plank road, and guardrails on the cliff edge. Even if you bring children, it is safe. There are several observation decks built on the mountain, and there are many other charging activities that will not be detailed. I entered from the south gate at 9 am, and the south gate went out at about 12:30. It took more than three hours to take pictures while walking. I read the weather forecast before I came. The good weather was really good. I felt good-looking. But really pay attention to sun protection and water, there are also canteens on the mountain, but the price is relatively expensive. The only thing is that this attraction is too expensive, not suitable for people with bad legs. It would be better if you can add some free-leg tours in the future.
Tiangong is not beautiful, light rain is intermittent, but tourists are endless. The scenic spot is very large, and it takes a lot of physical strength to go completely. The scenic spot logo and itinerary tips need to be improved. It is not recommended for the elderly with limited mobility. The classic part is quite steep and far away, and safety is the first!
Gaoyiling#I have to sigh the ghostly work of nature 👍 The motherland is a good river and mountain 👍😺 to do a good job of psychological construction. The mountain is really high. There are several stairs close to 90 degrees. People who are afraid of heights should be cautious.
