Some say that familiar places don't have scenery. However, an epidemic has made many people at home yearn for nature and even have the urge to let go. And for WuLingyuan, it seems that the relatives who have been separated for a long time are a little fascinated!
First, on August 25, it was announced that it was "unblocked" as a low-risk area. Then, on August 27, Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan Scenic Area, as the first batch of scenic spots in Zhangjiajie City to reopen and open, can accept guests. So, I asked Xiao Gong and Xiao Zou to take the unmanned camera and drive straight to Wulingyuan. According to the prior agreement, I only met with the heads of relevant departments at the Wulingyuan Sign Gate to make some information understanding, as an important topic for the think tank research institute. However, the two friends who were very familiar with the scenic spot suggested that I go to the Tianzi Mountain Ropeway to understand the opening situation. It was better to hear than to see, so we rushed to Tianzi Mountain!
There is a kind of happiness called a long goodbye reunion! Mr. Xu Yixing, a Taiwan compatriot and general manager of Tianzi mountain ropeway company, was very excited after receiving my call, he was a little impatient to wait for my arrival, he accompanied me to the cable car, and told me on the cable car that in the closed days of the scenic spot, the company runs the cable car for one hour every morning and night, which is not only the maintenance of the cable car, but also the needs of mountain management and forest fire prevention.
It has been twenty years since I went from Taiwan to Zhangjiajie to manage the Tianzi Mountain Ropeway, and Mr. Xu Yixing, as my old friend, has endless topics to talk about. At this time, the cable car passes through the clouds, the quartz sandstone peak forest looms from time to time, and it is a unique enjoyment for us to sit on the cable car and watch the scenery. I think that Mr. Xu Yixing has dedicated the most precious years of his life to this beautiful scenery, and it is also a realm to be accompanied by the Dafeng Forest. Because, Tianzi Mountain is the Fenglin Kingdom. Xu Yixing believes that the Yuanjia Forest Park, the location of the World Natural Heritage Site, and the World Geopark are all in Wulingyuan, which is a real wonderland on earth! Enjoying good air and ecological environment here is healthy and safe! He hopes that Chinese and foreign tourists will come to Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan for sightseeing!
Landscapes are combined with the beauty of human nature. After descending the Tianzi Mountain Ropeway, I received a call from Mr. Peng Bin, Secretary of the Party Group of the Wulingyuan District Culture and Tourism Bureau, saying that they were waiting for me in the Sign Gate Square. Therefore, after driving to the sign gate, the three of us saw Xie Guixiang, deputy secretary of the CPC Wulingyuan District CPC Committee, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Zhangguan Bureau, and executive deputy director of the Bureau, and Gong Xinglong, candidate for deputy district governor of the Wulingyuan District People's Government. Without too much greeting, nor do we go to the reception room to make a polite remark, we talked directly to the theme, under the normal situation of epidemic prevention and control, how to promote the recovery of scenic spots to ensure people's life safety and people's well-being. Xie Guixiang believes that the Wulingyuan Scenic Area has a good ecological effect and excellent epidemic prevention and control measures, and is a tourist destination worthy of reassurance for the majority of tourists. Gong Xinglong said that Wulingyuan District will repay the society with a grateful heart and resume work and production as soon as possible, and he also hopes that the Municipal Cultural Tourism Think Tank Research Institute will make more suggestions and suggestions for the development of tourism in Wulingyuan to promote the high-quality development of scenic spots.
To be a guest in Wulingyuan, you can't eat and live without. Xie Guixiang, Gong Xinglong, and Peng Bin were very concerned about making arrangements for me, and I told them that they had made an appointment with dayong Secret Place. At about 6 p.m. on the same day, we were surrounded by mountains, with a combination of quaint and fashionable homestays, from Zhejiang to Zhangjiajie to Zhangjiajie entrepreneur Zhang Langhua and his wife and family Zhang Luo under a Tujia food feast. The farmhouse duck, bacon and other three hot pots, as well as several delicious dishes with meat and vegetarian dishes, make people's appetites increased. However, several young people are interested in flying drones to take pictures of the scenery, and they generally refuse to accept the wonderland when they find it. After repeated urging, the reporters who came from the provincial city to collect style also ate and drank with us, talked and laughed, and happily enjoyed the material and spiritual feast. When I went to the Dayong Secret Realm to catch a plate of Yang opera, I put on my own ancient costume and came to the main palace with both shape and god, which made everyone laugh and lean forward and backward, and even the peasant aunt who was on the side also took a video with her mobile phone. In addition, the heroine Zhang Langhua and her daughter also sang "My Motherland and Me" with me. After the wine and tea, Zhang Langhua told me that the homestay has not yet officially opened to the public, and the eating, living and logistics support work of receiving our party were completed by her and her family. At present, 600 rooms have been booked online, of which 300 are free accommodation for anti-epidemic heroes.
Zhang Langhua believes that the anti-epidemic warriors who are fighting in the frontline are worthy of gratitude, and as homestay people, they should do their best to express their hearts! At this moment, I think the secret realm of Dayong is the most beautiful, not only in the scenery, but also in the human heart! Then, the landscapes and waters of Wulingyuan and the simple, sincere, kind and lovely Wulingyuan people are all landscapes, rooted in the depths of people's hearts like towering trees!
