🌤Afternoon:
❶15:00 venture into "Tusi City", the nine-hall wooden carved windows are perfect for photos! Rent Tujia ethnic costumes and be a local girl for half a day~
❷17:30 move to "Daughter City", great shopping at Tujia brocade/Nuo mask heritage shops! Smashing bowl wine drinks to brotherhood, the more shattered the bowl, the more fortune comes🤫
🌙Overnight:
1.5h mountain drive to "Lu Ming Number Three Autumn Guesthouse", housekeeper prepares fresh fruit in advance, lie on terrace chairs at night to watch the Milky Way with pine-scented mountain breeze
💥Day 2: 20,000-Step Canyon Adventure Guide
🌅7:30 breakfast at guesthouse, 13min drive to Grand Canyon, remember to wear non-slip shoes!
🚶Walking route:
❶First rush to "One Incense Stick" at Qixing Village! Cliff walkway looks like silk ribbons hanging on precipices, can't stop clicking when clouds surge📸
❷After taking cable car down, head straight to Yunlong Ground Fissure, remember to use 0.5x wide-angle under rainbow waterfall for National Geographic-worthy shots!
🍲Dinner:
Return to guesthouse for Tujia preserved meat hotpot! Paired with homemade fruit wine, mountain nights are so fragrant~
💥Day 3: Lu Yuan Ping Underground Adventure
9:00 descend into ground fissure via hundred-meter elevator, 🦌Xuanlu Gorge's waterfall cluster dances like white dragons! 1,811 steps to tiankengs are tough but worth it, Tyndall light beams around corners instantly revitalize you!
💡For those with less stamina:
1min up by inclined elevator! But you'll miss photo spots of cliff moss frames~
🌛Overnight:
If time permits, visit Lichuan Tenglong Cave, or relax at guesthouse watching stars shatter like diamonds above the canyon
💥Day 4: Ultimate Choice Between Two
🐉Tenglong Cave Option:
Laser show "Flying Dragon" is rustic but addictive! Cave entrance waterfall looks like dragon spitting water, bring wide-angle lens for human vs. waterfall contrast shots
📸Suobuya Option:
460-million-year-old stone forest + Lotus Fort Rhino Valley, run in white long dress among fossil patterns for explosive social media posts!
💡Hard-earned tips:
✅Recommend self-driving or chartered car, attractions are far apart
✅Bring Snickers bars for Lu Yuan Ping, tiankengs steps are tough on knees
✅Canyon is more ethereal on rainy days! Bring waterproof jacket
✅Daughter City performance starts at 19:30, arrive early for seats
