Walking through the corridor of time, encounter the retro romance of the seventy-two arcades
❗️❗️
If you have a strong interest in historical culture or want to deeply understand the historical background of Zhangjiajie, then the seventy-two arcades are definitely a place not to be missed.
However, first-time visitors are very likely to step on landmines! Personal guide to avoid pitfalls:
Before 4:30 PM, the entrance ticket is 20, and after that, the night ticket is 88, so arrive before the night session. Inside, it's not big; the first floor is basically all snack shops and stores. The taste is generally average, and there are very few local and ethnic specialties. The shopping and eating experience is quite poor.
Performance programs: The purpose of coming here is to watch the performances. From 18:00 to 22:30, there are 30 continuous performances in various venues of the arcades. The highlights not to be missed are: 18:00 'Opening Drum' at the entrance; 18:20 'Ten Miles of Foreign Market' at the Republic of China Movie Street; 19:45 'Lighting the Arcades' at the Bonfire Square; 20:35 'A Lifetime of Love' at the Bonfire Square; 21:55 'Bonfire Party' at the Bonfire Square.
Scenic spot guide: The arcades scenic area is a large night market. The lights turn on after 7 PM, and in summer, you have to wait until after 8 PM for it to be completely dark. The scenery after the lights are on is very spectacular. The night market has snack restaurants, bars, tea houses, jewelry stores, local specialties, and entertainment facilities such as photography, archery, and obstacle courses. After 7:30 PM, there are performances every half hour in the scenic area. You can see that the performances are carefully designed, not just random shows to fool tourists.
Understanding the stories behind during the day and immersing in the ethnic atmosphere at night is truly wonderful.

My WeChat Moments have been bombarded with questions about the heavenly marketplace I found in Zhangjiajie
At the place where the lights are overflowing, the city is still bustling at night.
This place, known as the city that never sleeps, is a new landmark in Zhangjiajie. Netizens have exclaimed that it's Zhangjiajie's Potala Palace, a Hongya Cave suspended in mid-air, with a height of 109.9 meters. With its unique architectural form, hollowed-out doorways, and floor height, it has become a major wonder in the history of stilted building architecture in the world. The strange building doorway echoes the Tianmen Cave thousands of meters away, forming a unique spectacle of two caves looking at each other, like the two eyes of a dragon.

🧡The last picture is for reference of the program list: For specific programs, refer to the performance schedule. The bonfire party is grand and not to be missed, lighting up the night.
After six o'clock in the evening, there are wonderful performances at any time. Street dancers dance gracefully, the singing is melodious, the drama plot is ups and downs, and the night lights up the bonfire. The men and women of the Shi family, dressed in ethnic costumes, dance around the fire.
💚Transportation: The transportation in the Qilou Scenic Area is very convenient, and it is only a ten-minute drive from the high-speed rail station. City buses 7, 16, and 17 can reach there.
🧡There is a 15-meter lemon tea in the park where you can sit leisurely for an afternoon, and there is a tea color outside the park that is pleasing to the eye and does not queue up early.
💙The Qilou Scenic Area at night is like a starry sky, the brilliant light and shadow are reflected on the ancient buildings, flashing charming colors. It is bustling here, with laughter and laughter intertwined into a colorful picture. Tourists shuttle through the snack street, bar street, workshop street, and museum street, everywhere is filled with the aroma of food, the rhythm of music, and the mystery of handicrafts. This night, as if the essence of the world's fireworks gathered, people are intoxicated in it, forgetting the time.
💜The scenic area is not particularly large, but the layout is clever, the streets and buildings are accessible in all directions. The main attractions are Tiangong Qilou, Old Tea House, Doctor's House, Zhuangyuan Building, Guochao Street, Hui People's Snack Street, Republic of China Style Street, Li Fire Square, Welcome Square, etc.
💙There is also the Zhuangyuan Building, the unicorn son in the sky and the Zhuangyuan Lang on the earth. The inner hall is round and square, spacious and bright. In front of the hall, there is a flat book called Wenkui, which is a combination of Wenquxing and Kuixing, both of which mean top students. Friends who like to read can go to the reading hall.

Zhangjiajie 72 Strange Towers, the world’s tallest towering stilted building, is illusory and confusing.
72 Qilou is located at Zhangjiajie West High-speed Railway Station, about a fifteen-minute drive from Wuling Avenue. The entire building seems to be suspended in the air. It feels very magical and confusing. Inside, you can experience the psychedelic feeling of surprise every step of the way!
I chose to arrive at dusk because I can feel the best of the scenery and light changes from dusk to night.
In fact, a large area of 72 Qi Lou is occupied by restaurants and streets. Qi Lou only occupies about 10% of the area. There are various restaurants, bars and street food in other places. It is really a perfect place to enjoy Hunan street food. Great place.
After seven o'clock every night, the lights are bright and magical. There are many different types of performances. There is a very special feeling in it. Come and experience it for yourself! ! !

The legend of the seventy-two peaks of Zhangjiajie.
In the Wulingyuan District of Zhangjiajie, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there is a group of ancient and mysterious buildings called the Seventy-Two Qilou. These buildings are built along the mountains and rivers, forming a unique landscape in the Wulingyuan Scenic Area.
🌿 A symphony of nature and culture 🎼 These Qilou are cleverly integrated into the surrounding mountains and rivers, becoming a part of nature. In spring, the sea of flowers and the Qilou complement each other; in autumn, the red maple leaves make the Qilou look more ancient and elegant.
🔍 Traces of history 🔬 Each Qilou has its own story, witnessing the changes of history. The exquisite wood carvings, gray sculptures, and flying eaves all reveal the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients.
👨👩👧👦 The home of the Tujia and Miao people 🌈 The Tujia and Miao people live here, preserving rich traditional customs and festivals. Walking into the Qilou, you can not only appreciate the beauty of the architecture but also experience the local culture and lifestyle.
📸 A paradise for photographers 📸 Whether at dawn or dusk, the Seventy-Two Qilou always offer the best shooting angles. The changes in light and shadow give the Qilou different emotions, and every shutter click captures an eternal memory.
🌃 A different charm at night 🌃 When night falls, the Seventy-Two Qilou are adorned with warm lights, making them look particularly cozy. Walking among them, listening to the flowing water, watching the stars twinkle, and experiencing a tranquility far from the hustle and bustle.
🌱 Tips:
Respect the local residents' living habits and keep quiet.
Plan your trip reasonably. It is recommended to visit in autumn when the weather is cool and the scenery is better.
Prepare a pair of comfortable shoes, as exploring these beautiful places requires walking.

The Seventy-Two Wonders Tower fully satisfies all fantasies about Chinese-style buildings!
||🎫Ticket prices are as follows: 10 yuan before 16:30, and 56 yuan after 16:30. There is now a 'Fairy Night Market' during the summer, with free admission after 22:30! Since the best photo spot is on the road outside the scenic area, if you just want to take a picture, you don't even need to spend money to enter the scenic area.
🎉Lighting time: There will be a grand program 'Wonders Tower Lighting Ceremony' at 19:50, and the specific lighting moment is at 19:53.
The entire scenic area can be toured in about half an hour, and the fun of the visit lies in following the NPCs to experience the culture of Xiangxi.
🎥I think the following performances are not to be missed:
18:00, 'Opening Drum', performed at the Dream Plaza.
19:50, 'Wonders Tower Lighting Ceremony', presented at the Bonfire Plaza.
20:00, 'Love Around the Corner', also at the Bonfire Plaza.
20:30, 'The Love of My Life', again at the Bonfire Plaza.
20:55, 'Mysterious Xiangxi', staged at the Intangible Cultural Heritage Tea House.
21:28, 'Bonfire Evening Party', held at the Bonfire Plaza.
22:00, 'Ten Miles of Foreign Field', the performance will be showcased on the Republic of China Film Street.
Everyone must not think that coming here is just for tasting snacks; snacks are just a secondary consumption item. The money you spend on tickets is mainly for watching these wonderful performances! From 18:00 to 22:30, the scenic area offers immersive Tujia ethnic performances, with NPCs everywhere, and the girls are all beautiful, and the boys all have abs

It's super convenient to take a taxi during the day, but there might be some congestion at night. If you want to enjoy the night, it's recommended to choose accommodation nearby for convenience and comfort.
❤️ Ticket Tips:
Adult tickets are only 20 yuan if you enter the park before 16:30 (you can stay until the end of the night show), but after 16:30, the price goes up to 88 yuan.
🔔🔔 Schedule 🕐🕐:
1⃣ 16:30-17:30: Few people and nice sunshine, suitable for strolling, taking photos, and remembering the way.
2⃣ 17:30: The performance begins, and the Dream Square is located outside the city. You can overlook it from the city wall.
3⃣ The daytime performance is relatively short, so it's advised to arrive at the venue 2-3 minutes early to wait.
4⃣ 19:00: The towers light up with yellow lights, a great photo opportunity! Recommended spots: Ancient Tree Bridge, the back door of the Old Tea House. After taking photos, continue to enjoy the performance, as the later it gets, the more spectacular the shows!
Food Experience :
The food on Snack Street is similar to that of a hometown night market, but slightly more expensive. The roadside stalls outside the scenic area are very affordable, and if you want to save money, you can take away food to eat inside.
Precautions and Lightning Guide :
1⃣ During peak season, the evenings are crowded, and it's easy to get lost if you don't follow the performance schedule.
2⃣ For those without photography experience or professional equipment, it's recommended to take more photos during the day. At night, the crowd is overwhelming and it's dark, making it difficult to get good shots.
3⃣ The bonfire party atmosphere is rather average, so it's suggested to go with lively companions!
❌❌ Consumer Trap Alert ❌❌:
1⃣ The tea house performance has a minimum charge of 18 yuan per cup of tea, which is not announced in advance, leading to congestion and chaos. Those who don't want to spend can't leave, and those who want to spend find it hard to get in, causing a complete blockage.
2⃣ Seating is limited, but the flow of people is not, and there is lax supervision, leading to situations where one person's consumption allows many to sneak in. If you haven't secured a seat in advance, it's advised not to consume blindly.

🗺️About the route:
Let’s talk a little bit about the differences in the routes: Line A’s urban cableway goes directly to the top of the mountain. Going down the mountain requires an elevator, a cableway, and a shuttle bus. Line B is the opposite of Line A. You first take the shuttle bus to the cableway and then go up to the sky. At the end of the doorway, there is an elevator to the top of the mountain, and then you can take the cableway directly back to the city.
We took the route planned by the guide, which was really easy and suitable for a family trip! For babies who don’t want to organize their own route, it is also recommended to find a guide👨🏻🦱
