Zhangjiajie -Pictures don’t do you justice!!! Breathing taking views!!!

I’ve been dreaming of visiting Jiangjiajie in Hunan for the past 5 years! I finally visited all the sites. Zhangjiajie National Park (pic 2 and 5) consists of a few area and it’s absolutely huge- you can easily spend a couple of days here especially if you want to explore the beautiful park- however as I was pressed for time I only spent a day here and mostly visited the Wulingyuan scenic area. However my absolutely favourite has to be Tianmen Mountain- (pic 1,3,4) - truly pictures can’t capture the beauty of this place. To get to the top, you take the cable car, which apparently is the "longest passenger cableway of high mountains in the world" - it ascends 1,279 m (4,196 ft)- I can only describe that your eyes are rewarded with magnificent views of blue skies (depending on the weather of course), luscious greenery and emerald coloured lakes as you are slowly transported up. When you reach the top, you feel as if you are truly on top of the world. As you take a picture of the back drop of Tianmen Mountain (pic 3,4) - the literal translation is “sky door” mountain - meaning the door to heaven- I would say the description definitely fits it well! #hunan #zhangjiajie #tianmenshan #tianmenmountain #china #girltravel
