老实说
这一天到底怎么过A nine-hour city day, and half of it is on foot: the academy and the mountain in the morning, the island after lunch, the old street when the food stalls open.
适合
- Travellers heading on to Zhangjiajie
- Anyone who came for the food
什么情况下别订
If you want the Hunan Museum and the Mawangdui finds, this route does not include them — it is a mountain-and-river day.
Yuelu Academy is at the foot of the mountain, not on top. People climb first and arrive at the gate exhausted, or skip it entirely.
