Jinjiang genuine version 195 (modified)
Compared with other forest parks covering tens of thousands of acres, the forest scenic area of Huajianji is not large in area. The cable car was built in two sections and took half a year to complete.
The first section starts from the rest area halfway up the first mountain and goes straight to the observation deck at the top of the mountain.
The one-way fare is set at 20 yuan and the round-trip fare is 30 yuan.
The second section starts from the bottom of the observation deck, heads towards the second and third peaks, slowly circles around the top and then returns to the observation deck at the top of the mountain. It is 1,300 meters long and the ticket price is 50 yuan.
Considering that most tourists climb the first half of the first mountain, the construction of this cable car did not disrupt tourists' travel.
The efforts of the construction team contributed greatly to this, especially the one-way route from the halfway point to the observation deck, most of which was built by them. WO4 and the water drop robot only reinforced and upgraded the materials, and demonstrated the construction process to the public.
As for the round-trip cable car between the three peaks, it was built by W04 and the Water Drop Robot, and improvements were made to the sealing and safety of the cable car, the clarity of the field of vision inside the car, and the lifting and lowering of the cable car.
Ensure that tourists can enjoy the perfect view of the forest scenic area from a mid-air perspective when riding the cable car.
At the same time, a tropical rainforest covering more than 400 acres has now been completed.
From October last year to April this year, over a period of half a year, more than 1,500 species and a total of 340,000 plants were introduced. There are many species, towering trees, and extremely rich animal and plant resources.
Among them, the population of Parashorea chinensis, Tropical rainforest endemic plants such as the Poria cocos, Poria narrow-leaved Poria cocos, Guangxi green plum, Tokyo camphor, Yunnan Pososa shuang, and Tetrasoma tetrasperma have all formed small-scale populations, with a single variety of about 50-100 trees.
As for populations of Hainan huanghuali, Paphiopedilum, Cyperus, Dendrobium, and Vanda, they have formed medium-sized communities, with more than 200 plants of a single variety and some species having as many as thousands of plants.
Tens of thousands of orchids are about to enter their flowering period from May to June. After the flowering period, their seeds will multiply in large numbers. At that time, the population size can be further expanded with the help of natural pollination and artificial breeding technology.
The Parashorea chinensis in the Tropical Rainforest Pavilion grew extremely fast after being watered with plant nutrient solution for more than a year, from 23 meters to nearly 30 meters. Half of it was transplanted into the natural forest, becoming the most iconic tree species.
The newly created tropical rain forest of Huajianji can be called a treasure trove of plants, although some of the saplings are not very tall and some orchid seedlings are still in the growing stage, but in terms of the reproduction of the environment, the adaptability of the plants, the distribution of rare populations, and the richness of the species.
The world's only artificial tropical rainforest is about to be born in Huajianji Botanical Garden.
In late April, Huajianji issued a notice:
Starting from May 1 this year, two cable car passages will be opened from the Qishan halfway rest area to the mountaintop observation deck and between the three peaks, allowing tourists to experience the scenery of the forest scenic area from a high altitude.
One-way ticket to the top of the mountain: 20 yuan (round trip 30 yuan)
Round trip ticket to three peaks: 50 yuan.
Visitors can purchase according to their needs.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted a lot of support from tourists.
"Finally there is a cable car in Huajianji! I am not physically fit and it takes my life to climb up there every time."
"Hahaha, same thing. I'm panting like a cow. It takes me a long time to catch my breath."
“If it weren’t for the view of the red maple forest, I wouldn’t have climbed. It would have been exhausting.
I don’t like mountain climbing, but the scenery along the way to Huajianji is better and the air is fresher; climbing other small hills is not interesting.”
"As for the physical condition of today's young people, they are not as good as their 50-year-old parents, and not as good as their 10-year-old children (laughing and crying) (laughing and crying)."
"It's much more convenient with the cable car, and the fare is not expensive. I heard that the alpine azaleas planted in the mountains have bloomed, which is particularly beautiful. It's just right to visit it together with the newly opened specimen museum."
"I was planning to go there on May Day, and the Forest Hotel has already been booked. What a pleasant surprise!"
"I envy those who applied for the exclusive annual pass, which is free this time."
"Yes, the automatic tour guide + transportation within the park are all included. The cable car is considered transportation, so it can save you some money."
"Luckily I applied. I didn't expect so many benefits at first. Now I think it's worth it! (so happy I'm spinning in circles)"
"With a card in hand, the world is mine."
“I can’t wait to take the cable car to enjoy the view. I haven’t visited the two peaks at the back yet.”
At the same time as the cable car opened, Ye Han launched a variety of combination packages of Huajianji on the travel APP for different tourists to choose from.
Single:
Ticket + 4 hours self-guided tour (tropical rainforest hall + rare plant hall + specimen hall) + sightseeing bus + cable car throughout the forest scenic area, the price is 205 yuan.
Ticket + sightseeing bus + cable car for the entire forest scenic area + afternoon tea at the Mid-Levels Book Bar is priced at 178 yuan.
Ticket + 1.5 hours self-guided tour (specimen museum) + sightseeing bus + one-way cable car ticket, priced at 115 yuan.
Parent-child (one adult and one child):
Family tickets + private movie viewing at Wanglian Restaurant + sightseeing bus + luxury buffet + forest scenic area cable car, priced at 620 yuan.
Parent-child ticket + 4-hour self-guided tour + sightseeing bus + special snack coupons (any 6 types) + forest scenic area cable car, priced at 385 yuan.
Family (two adults and one child):
Family ticket + sightseeing bus + forest scenic area cable car, priced at 360 yuan.
The Forest Hotel theme family room + ticket is priced at 1,059 yuan.
As Huajianji’s facilities in transportation, catering, accommodation, and leisure become increasingly complete, the average spending of tourists is also increasing.
In addition to ticket revenue, sales of other package tickets are also considerable, bringing in a steady stream of income.
Not only that, Ye Han also contacted the Municipal Tourism Bureau to apply for the opening of a special bus line from the city to Huajianji Botanical Garden.
As Huajianji receives a large number of tourists and has made outstanding contributions to the development of tourism in W City, its application was approved at the beginning of the year and the "scenic spot direct bus" service was officially launched.
Direct bus fares in the city:
One-way ticket: 20 yuan
Round trip ticket: 40 yuan.
The ticket price is more than 50% cheaper than taking a taxi, and it is a brand new air-conditioned bus with spacious space and comfortable seats, making it the first choice for non-self-driving tourists.
In this way, the remote location of Huajianji is no longer a problem.
Various convenient measures have attracted a steady stream of tourists, and Huajianji’s revenue has reached a new high.
With the May Day Golden Week approaching, Zhou Jing and Lu Yuyan decided to travel to Huajianji again.
Last time I came here with a tour group and we only had half a day, so the whole trip was quite rushed.
The two visited the Tropical Rainforest Hall and the Rare Plant Hall. Standing on the observation deck of the Victoria amazonica restaurant, they saw the ribbon-like alpine rhododendron forest from afar, so they went to the rhododendron garden; finally, they went to the Metasequoia forest to watch birds, and the time was basically up.
There are still many sights that I haven’t had time to see.
After returning, the two of them were longing to go to Huajianji again, and finally the May Day holiday came.
This time, they planned to have a good time in the botanical garden and visit all the attractions they had not visited.
For this reason, Zhou Jing specially booked a hotel half a month in advance, but——
"The Forest Hotel is so popular that we can't book a room." Zhou Jing couldn't help but sigh.
She checked the room rate for several days in a row, but the result showed that there were no rooms available. Even the tree house suite priced at 8,399 yuan was fully booked.
There is no choice but to make other plans.
Lu Yuyan searched and said, "I saw many bloggers recommend two B&Bs, one is called 'Zhuyunju' and the other is called 'Lianxiangju'. They have very high ratings. Can you see if there are any rooms available?"
Zhou Jing: "Yes. There are only two rooms left at Zhuyunju, the price is 688 yuan, do you want to book it?"
Lu Yuyan: “Book it, all hotels are raising their prices during the May Day holiday.
Moreover, the environment of this B&B is particularly good. The rooms are clean and well-equipped. There is a bamboo forest outside, and the environment is quiet, like a paradise. ”
Zhou Jing: "Okay, then order this one."
She hurriedly made a reservation, and when she refreshed the page again, she found that the other room was also booked. She couldn't help but be glad that she acted quickly.
I didn’t expect that these hotels would be so popular 20 days before the May Day Golden Week.
These two homestays are the ones that Ye Han originally invested in. They are now very popular on social platforms and are fully booked most of the time.
Based on this popularity, the investment will be recovered in about two years.
On May Day, Huajianji was indeed crowded, and we had to queue at the door for more than an hour before we could get in.
Fortunately, the two of them made an appointment to visit the specimen museum in advance, otherwise they would definitely not be able to enter.
Zhou Jing and Lu Yuyan spent the morning visiting the science museum.
They saw Hainan Huanghuali wood specimens worth tens of millions, observed tiny plants under a microscope, took photos of huge Victoria amazonica specimens, and admired butterfly specimens in the forest...
Look up to feel the huge tree of life, enjoy the dynamic photography, climb the endangered/extinct plant ladder...
Since there were too many people in the experience area on the first floor, we skipped it and went directly to the projection room.
When they finally walked out of the projection room, shock was written all over their faces.
No wonder everyone wants to come to Huajianji Science Museum, it’s so shocking.
There are ten exhibition halls, each with a distinct theme, unique style and a strong sense of technology.
Especially the last film, which surpasses all blockbuster movies. You can experience the changes of species immersively and the amazement in your heart lingers for a long time.
You will definitely regret it if you don't come once.
The two of them ate two bowls of noodles and then went straight to the "Bird Pavilion" to queue up.
Finally, I was very lucky to get the only two remaining portions of high-quality pasture, which allowed me to go in and feed the small animals.
The soft crabapple dwarf rabbits scattered on the grass were like a ball of cotton, melting their hearts.
The little sika deer has grown a lot and is no longer afraid of people. It comes to ask for food on its own. The racing pigeon Fino leads the flock of pigeons to fly around, giving a fantastic show... They also interacted with and fed the clever macaws, and saw the grand spectacle of five male peacocks spreading their feathers together.
When Zhou Jing came out of the bird house, he sighed again: There is a reason for queuing for two hours.
The fairy-tale cottage, the clean and cute little animals, the smart big parrot, the red-bellied pheasant as beautiful as the phoenix, and the rare white peacock spreading its feathers, each one of them is loved by everyone.
Huajianji is a scenic spot dominated by plants, and the bird house can only be regarded as an embellishment at best. There are not many species of animals, but it is more popular than most zoos.
Every animal live broadcast is watched by tens of thousands of people, which is a miracle.
Next, they went to the forest scenic area, which was also a tourist attraction they didn’t have time to visit last time.
Walking on the winding mountain trail, Zhou Jing took a deep breath of the negative oxygen ions in the air and looked at the lush trees on both sides. She felt refreshed: "The air here is very fresh. It feels that climbing the mountain is not so painful."
"Yes." Lu Yuyan also stopped and took a few deep breaths.
Instantly, the fragrance of grass and trees spread throughout the lungs, and the waste gas in the body was swept away. "If only... huh... the scenery of every mountain was so beautiful, it would be nice to climb it when I have nothing to do. It's good for my health."
"Indeed." Zhou Jing continued to breathe deeply. "I heard that someone sold the air from Huajianji and sold more than 2,000 orders. I have to take a few more breaths."
"So, we really made a lot of money."
The two walked while enjoying the scenery on the mountain, and after 55 minutes, they finally reached the halfway point of the mountain.
It is 4:20 in the afternoon, and there is still 1 hour and 10 minutes left before Huajianji closes.
They sat on the stone steps to rest and found that most of them were tourists going down the mountain. Not many people continued to go up because they were running out of time.
Lu Haiyan adjusted her rapid breathing: "Do you want to go back? Wait until we climb to the top of the mountain and then come down... It will probably be around 6 o'clock."
There is no need to worry as we will wait until the last wave of tourists leave the Huajian Gathering.
In just 40 minutes, Huajianji will broadcast a notice that the park will be closing soon. By then, I will be so nervous that I won’t be in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
Besides, climbing to the top of the mountain and then coming down is really time-consuming.
But I finally got here, and I feel reluctant to go back now.
They have not yet experienced the vastness of standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking all the other mountains, nor have they seen the pictures of alpine rhododendrons blooming in the mountains and forests that have been circulated on the Internet.
"Yuyan, look - there's a cable car over there!" Zhou Jing stood up suddenly, and said excitedly: "Shall we go take it?"
"Okay, I just can't climb anymore." Lu Haiyan agreed while panting.
The two went there immediately and bought round-trip tickets to the top of the mountain.
Although the cable car in the forest scenic area was opened for the first day today and it was close to the return time, there were still many people queuing up. Fortunately, there were a large number of cable cars arranged, and they were running one after another all the time.
After waiting in line for 5 minutes, Zhou Jing and her companion boarded the cable car under the instructions of the staff. After entering, the door was quickly closed to ensure safety.
The cable car is a four-person cabin with two people sitting opposite each other, providing ample space.
But there was a family of three behind them, so the two of them occupied the entire carriage alone.
"Wow, this is so cool!" Zhou Jing looked at the dense forest below. They were flying above the branches and leaves, and the treetops and branches were very clear.
If you look into the distance, the vast forest is right before your eyes, and the endless green extends forward, covering the entire mountain. The sight of green is intoxicating.
The carriage continues to move forward along the track towards the top of the mountain, and you can feel the visual effect of the increasing altitude.
There are only lush vegetation and cable cars in front and behind you all around. You have a thrilling feeling of being suspended in mid-air. The view is extremely broad and you can see the scenery below and around you at a glance.
The cable car was very fast but very stable. There was no shaking like other cable cars when they passed through the support joints. It reached the top of the mountain very smoothly and the whole journey took only 3 minutes.
"It's so fast." Lu Yuyan glanced at her cell phone when she got off the car. It was 4:30.
It saved a lot of time compared to climbing the mountain. Including buying tickets and queuing, it only took 10 minutes.
Climbing up to the observation deck, Zhou Jing felt the mountain breeze blowing towards her, looked at the scenery below the mountain and the blue sky, and suddenly felt relaxed.
The wind was very strong on the top of the mountain, and their hair was messed up, but they felt free in their hearts, as if they were embracing the entire nature, the blue sky and white clouds at this moment.
"There's a cable car ahead, it's so spectacular." Zhou Jing put her arms on the railing, looking at the track shuttling between the two peaks and the cable car moving steadily forward.
They were like small carriages separated by a certain distance, going back and forth in the air.
Moreover, the cableway seemed to connect more than just the two mountain tops, but extended to even further away. In the rising mist, one could vaguely see the mountaintops in the distance.
"I suggest we continue to take the cable car." Lu Haiyan came over. "It's several kilometers from here to the top of the mountain opposite. We don't have enough time and energy. It's more convenient to take the cable car directly."
"I thought so too." After the three-minute experience and the scenery along the way, Zhou Jing was already attracted.
Now that you are here, you naturally want to appreciate the entire scenery of Huajianji. The cable car is fast and can see the panoramic view, which is the best way to visit.
So the two of them followed the signs and went to the ticket office not far from the observation deck to buy tickets. The total cost was 80 yuan.
The price is not high. After all, some mountains with higher altitudes require a one-way ticket of more than 100 yuan.
While waiting in line, Zhou Jing discovered that every tourist who came down from the cable car looked excited, and were discussing something eagerly with their friends as they walked.
Before she entered the cable car, she vaguely heard words like "paradise", "lots of orchids", and "so close".
...paradise?
Isn’t that the iconic plant of the Rainforest Pavilion?
Zhou Jing visited the exhibition hall last time when she was with a tour group and she is still impressed.
If there hadn't been so many people lining up today, she would have wanted to go again.
The thoughts lasted only a moment before the two boarded the cable car again and started their journey to other mountains.
The driving speed this time is not fast, and it moves forward at a sightseeing speed, so that tourists can better appreciate the scenery.
"The Forest Hotel should be right below us."
As the cable car went down along the track, Zhou Jing saw the magnificent honeycomb structure building a hundred meters away from her.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that her vision became unusually clear. She could even see the scenery so far away, as if it had its own magnifying and focusing effects.
"Look, that huge banyan tree forest, my God!" Zhou Jing couldn't help but get close to the glass.
Looking down from a height of 100 meters, you can feel the enormity and terrifyingness of the banyan tree even more.
Although the aerial roots and specific structure inside cannot be seen, the banyan tree's thick branches extending to dozens of meters and covering an area of thousands of square meters can be seen. They form an entire forest that is interconnected and lush.
The tree houses scattered in the forest seem so small.
The unique visual effect of a single tree forming a forest is vividly displayed from the aerial perspective.
When the cable car reached the second peak, they saw the alpine rhododendrons proudly blooming in the clouds, all over the mountains and stretching for thousands of miles.
Countless colorful colors accompanied by misty clouds appeared in the two people's vision. Zhou Jing and Lu Yuyan couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
It's so shocking.
If what you see in the azalea garden are long plank roads and clusters of blooming azaleas on the roadside, stretching as far as the eye can see; then now there are vast tracts of alpine azaleas, formed by countless criss-crossing plank roads, which cannot be covered as far as the eye can see.
Especially the rhododendron truncatum and rhododendron serrata growing near the top of the mountain. Because the trees are more than 3 meters tall and even up to 6-7 meters tall, with strong and stretching branches, they look like tall trees.
Clusters of huge umbrella-shaped corollas cover the entire tree canopy. When the cable car passes by, you can clearly see the outstretched branches, the thick leathery leaves, and the bunches of delicate bouquets on the branches outside the window.
Looking down from the tree crown, the branches are crisscrossed, and each outstretched branch is hung with several clusters of plump flower balls, distributed in various directions such as the left, right, above and below, with the flower shadows overlapping and interlaced.
Sitting in the carriage, you can appreciate these alpine rhododendrons from an all-round perspective.
What a nice view.
It’s really beautiful.
I don’t know if it’s because the wild forests are closer to their original growing environment, but the alpine rhododendrons here are surrounded by fog, with their branches and leaves stretching tall and straight, blooming freely in the mountains, unafraid of wind and frost.
Some of their petals are blown by the wind, some are stained with dewdrops, clear and pure, with a kind of original natural beauty.
The two even saw birds pollinating the rhododendrons.
This bird is very delicate, with sky blue feathers and a slightly long tail. It stands on thick leaves and puts its beak deep into the center of the flower to absorb nectar.
Zhou Jing hurriedly took a picture of this scene.
Unlike artificial cuttings and seedling cultivation, in nature, plants have their own way of reproduction and do not require any other intervention.
This alpine rhododendron forest has been seldom visited since it was planted a year ago, and has gradually become a natural jungle under a natural ecology.
Zhou Jing took a lot of photos along the way. The plants have different beauty from different angles. The bird's-eye view is even more breathtaking and unique.
At the same time, when you sit in the cable car and enjoy the environment, you can focus all your attention on the surrounding scenery without having to pay attention to the road under your feet.
This is the real sightseeing.
When the cable car passed the junction of the second and third peaks, the scenery in front of us suddenly changed.
"This is - wow...my God!" Zhou Jing couldn't help but hold the handrail tightly and turned his back to observe.
Lu Yuyan did the same. She came to her friend's side from the opposite side and looked forward with her eyes wide open.
If before it was a forest full of trees, where one could catch a glimpse of the spaces between the trees, some low shrubs, as well as winding trails, pavilions and other facilities if one got closer; now it is endless green with a coverage rate of up to 100%!
You can even see towering trees that are clearly more than ten meters taller than the forest canopy, distributed in groups on the hillside, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding trees.
Zhou Jing's heart was in turmoil. Could it be... this is really true? !
The person riding the cable car in front had already knelt down, taking pictures non-stop with his mobile phone. He was clinging to the sealed glass and turning his head to talk to his friend next to him.
As the cable car moved forward, Zhou Jing and the others went deeper into the tropical rainforest.
The lifting system at the top of the cable car automatically lowered the cable car for a distance, and the speed slowed down. Now they are traveling through the interior of the tropical rainforest, avoiding branches along the way through path planning and lifting, allowing them to completely integrate into the original ecological environment.
The thick vines were right in front of him, and they had protruding thorns on the outside. They coiled around him like iron chains fixed in the air, spinning and flipping, creating a terrifying effect.
Epiphytic plants cover the entire tree. Sky gardens are built more than ten meters in the air. Orchids of different species bloom in patches on the tree trunks, accompanied by various ferns, bringing an effect that is dozens of times more shocking than that of the tropical rainforest pavilion.
Because the scale here is larger, the number of species is greater, the field of vision is wider, and the pure natural environment is dazzling.
Zhou Jing didn't even have time to take out her cell phone to take pictures, she was completely immersed in this pristine tropical rainforest.
The Tropical Rainforest Pavilion is well built, but this vast rainforest is 68 times the size of the former and is not a heavyweight.
Moreover, unlike the interior of the exhibition hall where there are clear boundaries and scenic spot signs, this is a completely pristine ecological environment, a larger and wider primitive jungle with no end in sight.
"Look over there, what kind of insect is that?"
"It looks like some kind of stag beetle, with two large pincers in the front."
"Oh shit, there's a snake!! Aaaah——" Zhou Jing was so scared that her hair stood up. She saw a colorful poisonous snake coiled on the branch below her, spitting at them.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. We are safe. The cable car is well sealed."
Zhou Jing was so scared that she dared not open her eyes.
"Look, is that an orchid mantis?"
"It really is!" She suddenly became excited and knelt on the seat to observe: "The whole body is pink and white petal-shaped, so beautiful."
“It’s usually hidden among the orchids and hard to see.”
About 3 minutes later, the cable car rose into the sky again, creating a certain distance from the trees below.
Just when they felt they were still not satisfied, they discovered that the cable car was about to enter an area of large trees such as the Dipterocarpaceae family, represented by the Parashorea chinensis. Each of them was more than 30 meters high, standing proudly above all other trees.
They walked right above the jungle, through the middle of the parasol trees, feeling the height of these giant trees.
The Parashorea chinensis stands upright, towering into the clouds, with branches only at the very top of the trunk. This is a trade-off made in order to keep growing upwards, giving up extra branches and leaves to occupy the sunlight at higher altitudes.
The two were amazed again. In just 10 minutes, they had no idea how many times they had vibrated.
The cable car circled in front and then returned. Only then did Zhou Jing and the others have time to take pictures.
It's so shocking.
This cable car trip will be the most incredible trip for them.
I haven’t finished writing it yet, my dears, come back tomorrow at noon ~ I should be able to add a few thousand more words.
PS: Due to the list issue, I will mark it as completed first.
