Travel on the road to Baidi City and Qutang Gorge

In the morning, I bid farewell to the colorful clouds of Baidi City, and return to Jiangling a thousand miles away in one day. The cries of monkeys on both banks are incessant, and the light boat has already passed through thousands of mountains. This familiar poem, known as the fastest poem in the world, mentions Baidi City, which is also the most famous tourist spot in Fengjie. As a person from Fengjie, I have always had expectations for the Baidi City Qutang Gorge Scenic Area, hoping that it will become a 5A scenic area and contribute a little ticket money. Although it was successfully promoted to a 5A-level scenic spot in 22 years, I failed to fulfill my promise and contribute immediately. I missed it two or three times, and this time I finally made it. From the new county town of Fengjie to the Baidi City Qutang Gorge Scenic Area is about 15 kilometers, you can take a bus or a taxi (taxi, motorcycle and private car are all available), you can bargain if you take a taxi, basically within 25 will go, the return is also about the same price, if it is from the high-speed rail station, you can take the tourist line to Wushan Airport, but there are very few trains, it is recommended to choose other means of transportation (the high-speed rail station can basically be done for 50 yuan). The scenic area is composed of two scenic spots, which are worth a visit. First, Baidi City Of course, it is the one mentioned by countless poets. There is Li Bai's 'In the morning, I bid farewell to the colorful clouds of Baidi City, and return to Jiangling a thousand miles away in one day.' There is Du Fu's 'Endless falling wood rustles down, the rolling Yangtze River is endless.' There is Liu Yuxi's 'The sun rises in the east and it rains in the west, the road is clear but there is sunshine.' Of course, there are many, many more mentions of him, so I won't go into them one by one. Entering the scenic area is the Wind and Rain Corridor, which symbolizes good weather and national peace. At the entrance of the corridor, you can see the poem 'Early Departure from Baidi City', which instantly gives people a sense of familiarity and heaviness. On the pillars of the corridor, if you look carefully, you will also see many poems. After walking through the corridor, you will arrive at Zhongyi Square, where there is a statue of Zhuge Liang, with his 'Chu Shi Biao' behind him. It's great for taking pictures. After visiting Zhongyi Square, there are two choices, one is to continue walking forward, go to the pier to take a boat to the opposite side to see Kui Men, see Qutang Gorge, the other choice is to go back a little bit, first go to see Baidi City. I went to Baidi City first, there is a slide at the climbing place, you can also choose to climb, climbing is actually not high, about 10 minutes, you can climb to the gate of Baidi City, a little further in is the landmark building Baidi Temple, there are many things to see in the temple, the stele forest, Tuogu Hall, Shuhan Hall, Guanxing Terrace, Bai Building, are all in here, if you play slowly, an hour will pass. There are still many historical elements in it, if you just take a cursory look, you can't really appreciate its depth. After visiting Baidi Temple, it is recommended to come out from the main entrance, walk a few steps to reach the best viewing point of Kui Men, which is the point of the ten yuan background picture, it's really great for taking pictures. Then continue walking along the road, you will arrive at Zhuzhi Garden, where you can see a lot of introductions related to Zhuzhi Ci, inscriptions, poems, statues of Liu Yuxi, etc. After visiting here, you can choose to return to the original road to take a boat, the Baidi City scenic spot is basically finished. This scenic spot is actually very suitable for taking pictures, red walls and green trees, it's really great. The cultural and creative ice cream is also worth buying. Second, Qutang Gorge Is Qutang the most beautiful of the Three Gorges? Anyway, as someone who has seen all three gorges, I think it is. There are actually two ways to take a boat, one is the ferry included in the ticket, which runs every half an hour, but it only takes you to the opposite bank. The other is a deep tour, 50 yuan per person, take a luxury big boat, to tour Qutang Gorge, the whole journey is 50 minutes. I chose to take the ferry over (it takes about five minutes), the first scenic spot on shore is the Jiangxia Museum, you can go and see, there are ancient elephants, and many exhibits related to the Three Gorges migrants, it's very good. After coming out, walking up slowly, you will see the Lock River Iron Pillar, looking forward, the majestic Kui Gate is in front of you. Continue walking forward, there are two choices, one is to go up, which is the former Kui Zhou Museum and the Cannon Tower, but they are all uphill, the scenery is good, depending on your physical strength. If you keep walking forward, it is the Chijia Building, there are many macaques in it, it is recommended not to carry extra plastic bags, although the monkeys are very cute and obedient, but sometimes they will snatch things from your hands. Of course, there is another choice here, which is to walk directly to the top of the Three Gorges, this is suitable for those with good physical strength and plenty of time. After visiting Chijia Building and the museum above, the happy journey is over, it's really great. Ticket: The main ticket is 95, if you want to go deep into Qutang Gorge, it is 140, it's quite good (if your ID card is from Fengjie, there will be a discount). The whole journey is not a minefield, and there are no recommended strategies, just arrange according to your own physical strength and preferences.
