This is our departure airport for Zhangjiajie
The next day on 28 Aug, we started our real trip at Zhangjiajie's national park. We took the cable car going up to the top of the mountain, then visited some sights and took lots of pictures. We thought that we were all very strong, so we insisted on going down from the mountain on our foot. However, we felt deadly pain on our knees and leg. We had not expected there were that many steps to go down. It felt nice and cool when the breeze come anyhow.

In the afternoon, after we had lunch at a local restaurant, we started our journey again to walk along the Jinbian Stream, also called Golden Rope stream. Luckily enough, we spotted many monkeys looking at us begging for their lunch. We got some nice shots. Among the visitors of the monkeys, I found one bride in a white wedding dress watching the monkeys too. She may not realize that we were taking her photos as well.

We had a great day there though we walked too much!
