Arrive at the entrance of Xiyagou Scenic Area around 10 o'clock and take the shuttle bus to the core area of Xiyagou Scenic Area (no entrance fee, the shuttle bus is about 10 yuan per person one way, the fare is at your own expense, and the ride is about 6-7 kilometers)
Around 10:30, we started hiking along the international Shuangling hiking route - the Ant Ladder. The wooden plank road rose all the way, with many steps.
Around 11:40, we approached the Shuangling plank road, where the high-altitude grassland scenery is suitable for shooting large-scale photos.
Around 12:00, we arrived at the only water refilling point along the flat road of Shuangling Plank Road. The signal was not good, so it is recommended to prepare change in advance. You can buy water and take a rest and eat here.
The water source in this area is carried up the mountain by farmers, and the price is about 1.5 times the average price.
Around 13:30, we arrived at the abandoned Shiziling Inn and had to make a choice: to reach the summit or to descend.
The climb to the summit is about 2 kilometers, with an elevation gain of about 200 meters, and takes 1 hour to go back and forth.
At 13:30, we will set a closing point for the summit. If you do not arrive at the Shiziling Inn within the specified time, you will not be able to summit. I look forward to challenging you again next time.
Around 14:30, we started to go down the mountain via Zhanggou Ladder
Around 16:30, we went down to the entrance of Tianjie Mountain and admired the Zhanggou Feiyun Bridge Waterfall
Around 17:10, take the Xiyagou shuttle bus (the shuttle bus is about 10 yuan per person for a one-way trip, and the fare is at your own expense. It is about 6-7 kilometers away)
This trip requires two shuttle bus transfers, totaling 20 yuan, which is at your own expense.
Around 17:30, we will be picked up outside the scenic area, where we can stretch, go to the toilet, and rest for a while before returning by bus.
Around 8pm, we arrived in Zhengzhou and kissed goodbye with tears
