A must-see in your lifetime: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is located in Zhangjiajie City, Hunan Province, China. It is one of the largest national forest parks in China and is famous for its unique karst landforms. The park has a rich natural landscape, including stone pillar peaks, stone peak groups, canyons, karst caves, streams, etc. These natural wonders constitute a beautiful and mysterious world.
Stone pillar peak forest Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is famous for its peculiar stone pillar peak forest. These stone pillars are hundreds of meters high, with different shapes, some of them are straight into the sky, and some are like huge pillars supporting the sky. They were formed by the weathering and erosion of limestone millions of years ago. This kind of landform feature is unique in China and even the world.
Canyons and streams There are many deep canyons in the park, the most famous of which is Jinbianxi. The stream is clear and the vegetation on both sides is dense. The stream is dotted with ancient trees and various wild flowers, forming a beautiful natural picture. Walking along the stream, you can enjoy various plants and animals and feel the vitality of nature.
Karst cave wonders Zhangjiajie National Forest Park also has many mysterious karst caves waiting to be explored. Huanglong Cave is one of the most famous karst caves. The stalagmites, stone pillars, and stone mantles in the cave are varied and look like an underground palace. The underground river in the karst cave is winding and flowing with clear groundwater, adding a sense of mystery and ornamental value to the karst cave.
The stone pillar peak forest and canyon stream in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park provide tourists with a natural stage. Every year, it attracts a large number of photographers, artists and tourists to create and shoot. Whether it is sunrise and sunset, clouds and mist, or rainbows after rain, it adds a bit of mystery and poetry to this land.

Zhangjiajie Off-the-Beaten-Path Itinerary | One-Day Tour to Huangshi Village and Jinbian Stream to See Monkeys
| One-Day Tour to Huangshi Village and Jinbian Stream to See Monkeys. Are you still only aware of going to crowded places like Tianzi Mountain and Bailong Elevator when visiting Zhangjiajie‼️ There is such an off-the-beaten-path one-day tour route where you can come to see monkeys in winter and stream trace to breathe in the oxygen in summer! The key is that you don't have to squeeze with other people
We first took a bus to Huangshi Village
As soon as we entered, we could see many wild monkeys along the way that were not afraid of people, just sitting there❌ But it is not recommended to get too close or to feed them, as it is easy to get scratched
We chose to hike up the mountain and take the cable car down👇 On rainy days, the top of the mountain is all foggy and you can't see much, so it is recommended to go up the mountain on a sunny day / Climbing the whole way takes about 3 hours to reach the top💰 The cable car down the mountain costs 65 per person and takes just over a dozen minutes to arrive
After coming down the mountain, we headed straight for Jinbian Stream
This place is really the most stunning spot along the way / The footpath along the stream is so comfortable to walk‼️ It's also great to stream trace here in summer / The mountain scenery on both sides is also very spectacular, lush and pleasing to the eye
There are very few tour groups that walk along Jinbian Stream, so it's also much quieter / The whole journey takes about 2 hours to walk
However, be sure to pay attention to safety‼️ There are relatively more wild animals here / And you need to bring enough supplies as there are not many supply points and restrooms along the way
The exit is directly at the south gate of the forest park👀 There are many food shops, and the minibus back to the landmark gate is also nearby

Finding the Avatar Mountain
Expectation vs Reality!
Arrive at Zhangjiajie, feeling like you're about to step into the Avatar movie, ready to capture that perfect "floating" mountain shot.
Though in reality, it was…Get up at the crack of dawn…Battle through tourist crowds at Bai Long Elevator 百龙天梯…Finally reaching the viewpoint, only to find that the "floating" mountains are hidden behind a thick blanket of fog, leaving you In despair
So after having McDonald at the top, we decided to challenge ourselves by taking a hike down to the 10 Miles Gallery instead of the cable car. And boy, it was a tough 2-3 hours hike but the result was rewarding as we finally caught the view of the legendary mountains!

Hiking on an non touristic path
The Scenic area of Zhangjiajie for sure is the big attraction in the area here. If you cannot enter yet or like to do a hiking trip outside the path close to Wuljngyuan is highly recommended.

Zhangjiajie of Hunan
One of a-must-visit location in Hunan province, Zhangjiajie. A place where I felt being covered with mountains, forests, trees and fresh air whenever I climbed inside Wulingyuan (for 2 days). Try having hot coffee at the peak of the mountain under cold weather, you will love the taste. The only reminder to all, make sure to prepare all the covers and raincoat before heading to ZJJ. Cheers!

"The three Guinness World Records are called "the first ladder in the world." The
"Bailong Ladder" has a vertical height difference of 335 meters and a running height of 326 meters. It uses three double-layer fully exposed sightseeing elevators imported from Germany to run in parallel, running at speeds of up to 3 m/s. It only takes 1 minute 58 seconds.

Amazing trip into the Zhangjiajie Park!
Totally recommend this trip to anybody visiting China. It requires some preparation but totally worth it. Will definitely go early in the morning to avoid crowds and will think some itinerary in advance. There are so many things to visit and you may want to see as much as possible!

Wulingyuan Bailong Elevator | Don't want to queue for a long time, see if this can help you
Wulingyuan Bailong Elevator | Don't want to queue for a long time, see if this can help you||It is said that the scenery of Bailong Elevator and the queuing time are both loved and hated,
Peak season 1-2 hours is also possible, I have summarized a few points after coming back, hoping to help you reduce the queuing time.
🐉Bailong Elevator
The vertical height difference is 335 meters, with an operating height of 326 meters, composed of three side-by-side sightseeing elevators, 🏆entered into the Guinness World Records with the honor of "Highest Outdoor Elevator".
🎭To ride or not to ride?
🎈Elevator to Yuanjiajie: 66 seconds (excluding queuing time)
🎈Climbing to Yuanjiajie: about 3 hours (depending on your physical strength)
Holiday elevator queuing time: A baby said she queued for 1 hour, you can feel the frustration and unwillingness in her words.
🪄Preserve energy for later trips, after all, coming to Zhangjiajie, you would hope to see more scenery than climbing mountains, so you can only try to reduce the queuing time as much as possible.
⛷Time-saving methods:
🎭Off-peak travel
This might be one of the benefits of off-peak travel, almost no queuing, standing next to the elevator glass to feel the thrill of rushing out of the mountains into the sky, this is only possible in the off-season.
🐔Start early:
This might be a more ideal solution,
Get up early, the early bird catches the worm~~
🚴♀️Clear route:
(East Gate) Sign gate to Bailong Elevator route:
Wulingyuan opening time: 07:30 (check it yourself for off-peak/peak seasons)
👉Take a taxi to Wulingyuan sign gate (East Gate)--check tickets to enter
👉Take the eco-friendly bus--to the left at the entrance is the bus to Tianzi Mountain, to the right is the bus to Bailong Elevator--don't get on the wrong bus👈
👉Jinbian Stream station (do not get off)--Bailong Elevator station (get off)--go through security check--buy tickets--queue
🎪Buy tickets in advance:
▪️Buy tickets online, reduce the time spent queuing to buy tickets, go straight to the destination.
▪️There is also a VIP ticket, not very fond of this way of selling tickets, after all, opening three elevators at the same time could speed up the transportation, creating a VIP elevator squeezes tourists into the remaining two elevators.
🙅♀️Don't do unnecessary things:
✖️After getting off at Bailong Elevator station, do not take photos, do not take photos, go directly through the security check, do not go to the toilet (solve it in advance, there are toilets at the main gate)
✖️Before buying tickets, make it clear whether you are buying insurance or not, the default is to buy, to avoid unnecessary time for refunding insurance fees!
😉One of the benefits of off-peak travel is that it saves the trouble of queuing, but the scenery and weather may not be to everyone's taste.
However, as long as you change your mindset, to observe the mountain colors and appreciate all beings, all aspects of the world are worth admiring.
🐉Bailong Elevator: 65 yuan / Half ticket: 33 / VIP:165&133 / Insurance: 10 (no difference between full and half tickets)
🕰Opening hours: 08:00-18:00
🕰Wulingyuan opening hours: 07:30-17:00
Wulingyuan

Zhangjiajie
The famous scenic spot is located in the Wulingyuan National Nature Reserve in Zhangjiajie City, Hunan Province. The 70 rugged peaks are incredibly breathtaking, giving one the feeling of riding the Bailong Elevator to quickly reach the mountaintop. From there, hiking to Yuanjiajie, where many monkeys can be seen, is a very good experience that earns a lot of thumbs up.

You must visit Wulingyuan this spring
The Zhangjiajie in spring is a sea of flowers, brimming with the vitality of greenery, the subtle fragrance of plum blossoms, the delicate beauty of peach blossoms, and a kaleidoscope of colors that make it a perfect place for families, children, and couples. In the coming months, as the gears of time shift to spring, the poetic and splendid Wulingyuan is approaching at a leisurely pace.
"You say spring is not late, and I have arrived at Wulingyuan."
In the springtime Wulingyuan, the sunshine is warm and gentle, the mountain flowers are bright and unrestrained, the layered mountains are clad in new green, the babbling streams are lined with lush grass, and everywhere is filled with poetic imagery.
🌸A ten-mile spring breeze, a breathtaking gallery; a journey towards the sun, a journey of blooming.
In the Ten-Mile Gallery of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park during spring, plum blossoms sway in the wind, with petals of pink or red adorning the branches, a subtle fragrance in the air, distant mountains like ink, and trains shuttling through, all inspiring longing.
🌸In a little while, the spring breeze will turn into a messenger, bringing cherry blossoms to report.
Then, the pink and white petals will be like brocade and rosy clouds, fluttering with bees and butterflies over the lake, dancing gracefully, with every view brimming with vitality, and every snapshot a magnificent landscape.
💦When time meets the spring rain, every light touch is a painting in ink and wash, and the rapeseed flowers are the bold strokes in it.
🌼Strolling in the ecological square of the Huanglong Cave scenic area, the golden petals converge into a sea of flowers, as if a carpet has been laid over the fields, the golden yellow interwoven with the blue sky, bringing infinite romance and comfort.
🍃In the coming months, the gentleness of Wulingyuan in spring will melt on the branches, hide in the wind, and twine among the peaks and forests🌷
💐In the season when the mountain flowers are blooming, one must make a trip to Wulingyuan, invite a few good friends, and head for this rendezvous with the mountains and rivers, embrace nature among the peaks and forests, meet beauty in the sea of flowers, and await the full bloom of spring to meet you.

The peaks, streams and forests of Zhangjiajie complement each other, and the scenery is breathtaking.
Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie was formerly known as Yunmeng Mountain and Songliang Mountain.

🐛Like me, take the high-speed rail in the afternoon, go up the mountain before 9 o'clock in the morning, and plan to go down the mountain to Tianmen Cave at about 3:30 in the afternoon (if you like to take pictures, you can skip the small route)

The beauty of heavy snowfall
Beautiful text surrounded by clouds and mist.
The fog locks the mountain and the mountain locks the fog, the sky connects with the water tail and the water connects with the sky.
The clouds and mist are as beautiful as a painting, and the mountains and rivers are proud and bold.
The clouds and mist are swirling above the valley, the green trees in the valley are lush, and the ancient trees reach the sky.
Half of the city is cloudy and half is clear, how much is hazy and how much is clear. Where does the cloud and mist end, it enters the heart in strands.
The green mountains and rivers are accompanied by a thin mist around the mountains. The blue waves are leisurely, and the boat in the river is leisurely.
The mist is hazy and everything is covered, the fairy air is floating, life does not have to be too clear, isn't it a kind of beauty in the clouds and mist.
The light gauze-like mist makes everything in the world look agile and beautiful.
Looking at the flowers in the mist, what you appreciate is the hazy beauty. Walking through the mist, as if in the fairyland of Penglai, what you experience is the agile beauty.
The clouds and mist fill the canyon, like silk, like strands, curling and stretching, like a dream, like a poem, like a painting, the mist is colorful because of the canyon, and the canyon is hazy because of the mist.
In the distance, the mountains stand tall, the mountains are connected, the green is steep, and the clouds and mist are swirling.

Is there anyone who haven’t heard about Zhangjiajie Avatar mountains? I suppose not 😁 one the most famous and popular destinations in China.
Our trip started in Changsha where we stayed for half a day. Then by train we departed to Zhangjiajie. Railway station is not very far away from the scenery area, but we waited for taxi for quite some time as arrived late in the evening.
The mountains don’t need to be described too much. Amazing. It’s better to see once than hear a hundred times. So just go see it with your own eyes 😁
As expected, many people, but didn’t affect overall experience. Absolutely recommend to visit.
P.S. If you go to Zhangjiajie, there’s one more famous destination - Fenghuang village, not far away(about 1 hour by train) and a great place to go 👍#2023travelwish #mytripvlog #awesomepic #bucketlistreboot #zhangjiajie

This is Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie Hunan province. It’s accessible by bus from Zhangjiajie city which has a high speed rail and an airport. The avatar mountains are stunning and you have many spots to shoot amazing pictures. It costs from 30¥ with a bus from Zhangjiajie to Wulingyuan, they’re many affordable hotels in Wulingyuan. The local people are very welcoming and they are a lot of restaurants in which you can enjoy the taste of local food. At the entrance to the forest park they is KFC and Starbucks. It’s a great place to visit and be stunned by nature far away from the busy bussing cities. Enjoy the clean air!!
