点评:This is the first scenic attraction we visited in Zhangjiajie Natural Forest Park. It is a huge stone platform with an altitude of over 3,540 feet. It gathers the most natural wonders in Zhangjiajie. This is also the first scenic spot where the `Avatar' was filmed. As the saying goes, you can never say you have visited Zhangjiajie without going to Huangshizhai.
We came here by the South Gate and took a cable car all the way to summit. There are 2 tour routes on the Huangshizhai summit. One is the 2.48-km-long Grand Circle Route dotted with more classic attractions, and it takes us 2 hours to complete. There are quite a reasonable number of steps to climb, and our next destination at Golden Whip Brook helps to neutralize our physical strain with flat walking.
The views here are breathtaking, and the village is surrounded by steep, knife-like cliffs, offering the largest and most expansive viewing platform for the sandstone peak forest that Zhangjiajie is famous for. We came across the Greeting Double Gate, the Zhang Lian Tactical Formation, Huang Shigong's Inspection of troops, Mounds left from the Heaven Bridge, Lovers' Peak, Echolic Cliff, the Five Fingers' Peak, etc. You are near the Echolic Cliff when you hear loud shouts and echo at the background.
Wonderful exploration and remind me of the Blue Mountains in Sydney.
翻译:这是我们在张家界自然森林公园游览的第一个景点。它是由一块巨大的石台,海拔超过1000米,汇聚了张家界最丰富的自然奇观。这里也是《阿凡达》的第一个拍摄地。俗话说,没去过黄石寨,就不算到过张家界。
我们从南门来到这里,一路乘坐缆车到达山顶。黄石寨山顶有两条游览路线。一条是全长2.48公里的大环线,沿途点缀着一些经典景点,我们花了2个小时才走完。这里的台阶数量相当合理,而我们下一站金鞭溪的平路则有助于我们缓解体力疲劳。
这里的景色令人叹为观止,村庄周围环绕着陡峭的刀锋般的悬崖,为张家界闻名遐迩的砂岩峰林提供了最大、最开阔的观景台。我们经过了迎亲双门、张连阵、黄石公检法处、天桥遗迹、情人峰、回音崖、五指峰等等。当你靠近回音崖时,你会听到周围传来喊叫声和回音。
精彩的探险,让我想起了悉尼的蓝山。
