| Even budget travel can reach new heights. Qingjiang Fangshan Travel Guide | Even a budget trip can lead to new heights✨ 🌟 Scenic spot profile Qingjiang Fangshan is truly the darling of nature! It is located in Zhengjiabang Village, Longzhouping Town, Changyang Tujia Autonomous County, 25 kilometers away from Changyang County, just on the mysterious 30th parallel north. This place is surrounded by the Wuling Mountains, with rolling peaks and cascading waterfalls, making it seem like a fairyland. Surrounded by clouds and mist, the scenery changes with every step you take. The mountains and rivers are interdependent, as beautiful as a poem or a painting. There is also the world's longest suspended cliff plank road, the country's longest glass plank road, and the world's largest mountain spring waterfall. It is simply "Zhangjiajie in Hubei and Jiuzhaigou in the Three Gorges"! 🚌 Travel tips [Car] Transportation is super convenient! Take a bus from Yichang East Station to Changyang. The bus departs at 6:40 in the morning, runs every 40 minutes, and the ticket price is only 21 yuan. [Tramcar] If you drive, it takes about two hours from Yichang. There are also shuttle buses from Changyang Bus Station to Fangshan Scenic Area. Self-driving is highly recommended! Just search for "Changyang Qingjiang Fangshan Scenic Area" on the map, the scenery along the way is super beautiful! Tickets are only 99 yuan when purchased online, and the shuttle bus is 10 yuan. [Canoe][Tramcar]The only way to enter the scenic area now is to take the cable car from the east gate, or hike up from the west gate. The shuttle bus will arrive at the west gate at 10 o'clock, and you can reach the high-altitude plank road after climbing for about 40 minutes. [Car][Taxi][Taxi]The scenic spot is open from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. It is recommended to visit for about 4 hours, which is enough for you to experience this fairyland! 🗺️ Tour route Classic route Start from the parking lot → Enter the scenic area through the East Gate → Take the cable car up the mountain → Bawang Guidao → 3D glass plank road (super exciting!) → Seven-fold Waterfall (super spectacular waterfall!) → Xiaoyao Pavilion → Folk culture performance (very local!) → Glass Corridor Bridge → Heavenly Road → Kissing Stone → Engagement Platform → Elephant Trunk Stone → Stilt House → Lover's Peak → Yin and Yang Pole → Ancient Salt Road → Asking for the Way Pavilion → Buddha Dust Waterfall → Shouting Spring (super fun!) → Guqin Waterfall → Exit the scenic area through the West Gate → Take the transfer bus back to the parking lot. Two routes for you to choose • Enter from the East Gate and exit from the West Gate: walk or take the cable car up the mountain, exit from the West Gate, walk down the mountain, and take the transfer bus back to the East Gate. The east gate is quite steep, mainly consisting of mountains and rocks, suitable for those who like challenges. • Enter from the west gate and exit from the east gate: take the transfer bus to the west gate, walk up the mountain, exit from the east gate, and walk or take the cable car down the mountain. The west gate is relatively flat, with many waterfalls and streams, and beautiful landscapes, which is suitable for friends who are not very physically fit. Easy route • Take the cable car up the mountain from the east gate, walk around the plank road, and go down the mountain from the west gate. • Climb up the mountain from the west gate, walk along the plank road, and then take the cable car down the mountain from the east gate. 💡 Tips for playing • Although the round trip cable car is labor-saving, it is not recommended! You will miss a lot of beautiful scenery. • It is not recommended to bring very young children or very old people hiking as some sections of the trail are quite steep. • There is no storage point in the scenic area. It takes about 1 hour to walk from the cable car to the glass corridor. Remember to travel light. • There are no charging piles in the scenic area parking lot, but there is a Xiaoqinzhai Station on Fangqing Road, about a 15-minute drive from the scenic area. There are charging piles there, so those who drive by themselves don’t have to worry. 📸 Must-visit attractions • Strange peaks and rocks: Each mountain has a unique shape, a result of nature’s uncanny workmanship. • Waterfalls: The waterfalls rush down, and the mist is everywhere, which is super spectacular! • Suspension plank road: Walking on it, there is a deep abyss under your feet, which is exciting and fun! • 3D glass plank road: Standing on it, you feel like you are in the clouds, and the feeling of your heart beating faster is super cool! 🌟 Conclusion Qingjiang Fangshan is really a place worth visiting again and again! There are beautiful natural scenery, exciting plank road experience, and rich folk cultural performances here. Whether you are hiking or taking a relaxing cable car ride, you can feel the charm of nature. Add Qingjiang Fangshan to your travel list now, believe me, you will love this place! 🌟
