Zhangjiajie: A Place You'll Want to Visit Again and Again

⛰️Day 1: Walking in the Clouds - Heart-racing Canyon ▫️15:00 🌉 Standing on the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge 300m high, mountain winds sweep clouds beneath your feet. Clutching my bestie's clothes while screaming, looking down feels like falling into Pandora from Avatar! ▫️17:00 🌿 Hiking along the Grand Canyon stream, wild cherry blossoms fall in my hair. A Tujia grandmother sings mountain songs with her bamboo basket, while the scent of firewood fills the air... Suddenly understanding the utopia from Tao Yuanming's writings. ▫️19:30 🍲 Farmhouse firewood chicken bubbling in an iron pot, bamboo tube rice releasing its fragrant mix of preserved meat and sticky rice when split open - I had three servings! (⚠️Spicy warning!) 🌌Day 2: A Magical Day in a Fantasy World ▫️09:00 🐒 The monkeys at Golden Whip Stream love photobombing! While taking selfies, furry paws suddenly grab at my selfie stick - these little ones crack sunflower seeds more skillfully than me! ▫️14:00 ☁️ Bailong Elevator takes 1 minute 58 seconds to reach Yuanjiajie, where the "Hallelujah Mountain" floats in the mist - instantly triggering fantasy drama background music in my head! Warning: phone battery dying from taking too many photos⚠️ ▫️19:00 🌶️ Preserved meat sizzling in red oil, mushroom chicken soup so good it'll blow your mind! Paired with Tujia rice wine, watching mountain lights flicker in a slight buzz - pure bliss! ☁️Day 3: Cloud Adventure at Tianmen Mountain ▫️08:00 🪂 Couples on the glass walkway acting out "life or death romance" - boyfriend shaking like a leaf while being dragged by girlfriend, I'm cackling (while secretly gripping the rock wall) ▫️12:00 🍜 Heavenly combo of spicy-sour noodles and kudzu jelly! Owner says the kudzu is mountain-foraged. One slurp of hot noodles followed by cool jelly - instant revival! ▫️15:00 🍵 Met a tea-picking grandmother while brewing tea by the stove, teaching me about rock ear mushrooms: "Pick ones with silver shine on the back for the best soup!" With tea fragrance in the mountain breeze, suddenly I don't want to return to the city... 🌙Day 4: A Thousand Years of Light and Shadow ▫️11:00 💦 Waterfalls rush beneath Fenghuang's stilt houses, creating rainbows in the sunlight! Wore Miao costume for photos and got mistaken for an NPC by tourists asking for pictures
