A four-day trip to Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang
More than 100 staff members in CUSABIO started a four-day trip to Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang on May 18, 2012.
On the first day, we went to the so-called "the first elevator in the world", which is the world's tallest tourism elevator with the highest speed and biggest load capacity. We could view one of the ten extraordinary sights "soldiers absolutely party" when taking the elevator. When we set foot on the big balcony in Yuanjiajie, our vision was broadened. The hills that we previously had to look up to now lay under our feet quietly and docilely. We could view the fantastic and magical world seen in the movie Avatar, when taking the cable car. And the sight spot "ten miles of pictures" gave us a feeling that "people are travelling in the pictures".
On the next day, we bathed in brilliant sunshine, and walked into the Golden Whip Stream. The winding stream flows along the Wuling ridge, making people feel the tranquil nature. When walking to the Longevity Spring, visitors couldn't help taking a sip or taking away a bottle of the spring water. As the saying goes: a sip of the spring can make people live to ninety-nine. The most distinctive scene is the wild monkey. The green grass, streams, forest, and wild monkeys -- all of those made us intoxicated with the artistic conception.
Being in Fenghuang, we seemed to have a time-travel. Just like Alice roaming the fairyland, we came to a fantasy kingdom: both sides of the long and narrow streets are packed with caesious antique houses. Each storefront was filled with all kinds of small commodity, including the special silverwork and costume of the Miao nationality, and other kinds of souvenirs, all of which dazzled our eyes. Standing in the ancient towers, we could have a panoramic view of the beauty of Fenghuang: the peculiar "suspended buildings" just stand along the beautiful Tuo river.
Apart from the beautiful scenery, there are a large number of historical celebrities, including the prefect of the Guizhou province Xingshu Tian who decapitated foreign illegal missionary in order to safeguard national dignity; the national hero Guohong Zheng; the first republic elected cabinet prime minister Xiling Xiong; the literature master Congwen Shen; and the Chinese painting master Yongyu Huang. All their lusters have made Fenghuang more glamorous.
The four days' travelling ended soon. We set foot on the return bus with attachment and satisfactory. Thanks CUSABIO for giving us such a chance to experience the magic of nature!
