🎉 Unveiling! My National Day reverse travel tips, unlock the tranquility of Jishou, Hunan✨
Last National Day, I cleverly avoided the crowds and took my family to explore a hidden gem - Jishou City, Hunan Province. Not only is the cost of living affordable (luxury hotels only cost 300+ during National Day!), but it's also a tourist haven that hasn't been overdeveloped🍃. Our two-day and one-night family reunion trip began!👨👩👧👦
📅Day 1: Cultural Immersion Day📚🏰
Xiangxi Museum: Free admission, just swipe your ID card and you can wander through the long river of history📚. The museum is full of treasures, Miao silver ornaments gleaming, Tujia brocade weaving colorful dreams, and even a little volunteer (a cute kid, super eloquent!) to guide you through the charm of intangible cultural heritage👏.
Qianzhou Ancient City: At dusk, the ancient city puts on its night coat. Rent a costume and walk through the stone-paved streets, as if you've traveled back in time📸. There are performances at night, ancient city stories waiting for you to listen. Although the cruise is beautiful (but tickets are required), the city that never sleeps is a bit quiet, so plan your itinerary carefully!🚢
📅Day 2: Natural Wonders Exploration Day🏞️🌉
Aizhai Wonders Tourist Area: One-stop check-in of the three wonders, with tickets in hand, you can go whenever you want!🎟️
Aizhai Bridge: Spanning the Dehang Grand Canyon, a 1779-meter feat that will amaze your eyes👀. On the cliffside plank road, every step is a heart-pounding experience.
Jidou Miao Village: A semi-developed village with an authentic atmosphere. Standing on the Ask the Sky Platform, surrounded by clouds and mist, it's as if you're in a dialogue with the heavens🌄.
Dehang Canyon: Miao village charm, waterfalls like silk, jade belt and quicksand, double waterfall viewing, remember to have ample time, don't miss the beautiful scenery🌊.
💡Tips:
Route planning: Start from Aizhai Bridge and end at Dehang, smooth and no detours🚗.
Pay attention to the last bus for public transportation, and pay attention to the empty car fee for taxis💰.
Autumn rain is continuous, bring a raincoat with you, be prepared🌂.
This Jishou trip not only allowed us to enjoy the tranquility of the sparsely populated scenery, but also gave us a deeper understanding of the unique charm of Xiangxi. If you're tired of crowded holidays, come to Jishou and start your new chapter of reverse travel!🚀
