Hunan·Zhangjiajie | This guide makes your trip a breeze!!
Many friends become more confused after reading the travel guides for Zhangjiajie😵, don't worry, just read this one and you'll be set😎! Just follow it and have fun!!!
Zhangjiajie's trip mainly consists of three parts: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Tianmen Mountain, and Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon🎡.
Most people arrive in Zhangjiajie at noon, leaving only half a day🕛, feeling it's too late to visit any place, you can first go to Tianmen Mountain🌄. But pay attention to the time range on the ticket🎫!!
1️⃣Itinerary🗺
🏯Tianmen Mountain
Only one day is needed, there are three options for the same route: A, B, and C:
A: Take the big cable car up➕fast cable car down, downhill mode.
B: Take the fast cable car up➕big cable car down, climbing mode.
C: Take the fast cable car round trip, climb and then go down the mountain mode.
❗️Personal recommendation for A: Going downhill is more relaxed, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, and it's not too tiring😜. On the way down, you'll hear others saying 'I chose C, I'm so tired, how much longer to finish climbing', then you'll know how wise it was to choose A😏!!!
🏯Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
Day1: East Gate→Bailong Elevator→Yuanjiajie→Yangjiajie→Tianzi Mountain→Tianzi Mountain Cableway→East Gate
Day2: East Gate→Ten-mile Gallery→Golden Whip Stream→Huangshi Village→Oxygen Bar Square→South Gate
Hiking sections🏃🏻: Ten-mile Gallery 4.5 km, Golden Whip Stream 7.5 km, Huangshi Village uphill route 3.5 km.
❗️Personal suggestions:
1. There are eco-friendly cars available at each scenic spot, mountain roads can cause motion sickness, remember to prepare motion sickness medicine💊.
2. Choose good weather, otherwise, it might be all foggy🌫️.
3. There are many monkeys on the mountain, do not carry very fragrant food, and do not wear too bright clothes, to avoid being scratched🤕.
🏯Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon
Only one day is needed, there are two routes to choose from:
A route (Grand Canyon only): Visitor Center→One Line Sky→Rainbow Square→Touching Cave→Shenquan Lake Cruise🛳️→Exit
B route (Grand Canyon➕Glass Bridge): Visitor Center→Glass Bridge→Bridge East Experience Center→Glass Plank Road→Experience Projects→Rainbow Square→Touching Cave→Shenquan Lake Cruise🛳️→Exit
❗️Personal suggestions:
1. You can try the high-altitude zip line for the experience projects😎.
2. The self-paid cruise at Rainbow Square is not necessary, walk a little further and there is a free cruise to the exit of the scenic area🚢.
2️⃣Food🥙
1. Master Hu's Three Hot Pots, Old Tian's Three Hot Pots: Traditional food of Zhangjiajie, recommended with walnut meat➕pork intestine➕beef tripe🥘. Also, their lotus root slices and potato cake are delicious😋.
2. Pig Brain Cold Noodles: Recommended pig ear cold noodles🐷.
3. Berry Tea🍵: Refreshing and sweet taste, rich and lingering, slightly bitter aftertaste, not astringent at all. I really like the taste of berry tea😍!
4. Haozi Baba: Crispy on the outside and sticky on the inside, slightly numbing taste😃.
5. Xiangxi cured sausage, cured meat: Homemade by Tujia people, evenly fat and lean, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is🥩.
6. Sour Fried Fish: A dish for hosting guests in Xiangxi, crispy on the outside and tender inside🐟.
7. Black Chicken Gastrodia Soup: Made with black chicken and gastrodia, highly nutritious and tastes great👍!
3️⃣Accommodation🏠
It is recommended to choose accommodation near the places you plan to visit, no specific recommendations. You can find high-rated ones on Ctrip, and compare several options🤗.
☁️⛅☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️˘☁️⛅☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

The Epicurean Journey
Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, where every visitor counts!!
Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon🌈❤️
Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon! The natural scenery is stunning
Compared to Tianmen Mountain and Wulingyuan
The scenery of the Grand Canyon is equally breathtaking
Here, you can enjoy the view of the graceful peaks
The quiet canyons, and the clear streams and lakes
🎫About tickets:
1. Follow: Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Tourism Development Co., Ltd.
2. Choose your preferred route: Route A, Route B, Route B1
Route A is relatively gentle, suitable for those who like walking
Route B and B1 are more thrilling, suitable for those who enjoy challenges
🚘About transportation:
Tianmen Mountain-Grand Canyon|Go to Zhangjiajie Bus Station to buy a ticket, 22 yuan/person, 1-hour drive
Wulingyuan-Grand Canyon|Go to Wulingyuan Bus Station to buy a ticket, 12 yuan/person, 30 kilometers
🏞️About the scenic area
The glass bridge is the most worth-seeing spot in the Grand Canyon
The main span is 430m, and it is 300m above the valley floor
Both in terms of length and height, it is the world's first
Seeing that there are also brave tourists bungee jumping
Before getting on the bridge, tickets are checked and anti-slip shoe covers are distributed
There are quite a few people on the bridge, and taking photos is a bit affected by the crowd
I bought a 'pick 7 out of 5' package ticket
You can choose to watch VR here
It's like riding a hot air balloon to experience the scenery of the Grand Canyon
It's just that the picture quality is a bit blurry
Next, you can choose the high-altitude zip line➕One Line Sky Slide
Or take the elevator down the mountain
If you're not extremely afraid of heights or physically unfit
It is recommended to choose the zip line➕slide down the mountain
The zip line🚡 gives you the feeling of gliding through the air, which is fun
The speed is quite fast, it takes half a minute to reach the opposite side
After that, continue to play the One Line Sky Slide
You'll get a cushion for your butt and gloves🧤 to prevent abrasion
This experience is not good, the glass is not smooth
You have to propel yourself, and it feels like a sore back and uncomfortable
After coming down, you'll arrive at Rainbow Wharf Square
Then take a boat, walk through the canyon, and take another boat
Then you leave the scenic area and arrive back at the main entrance
Note❗If you disembark, you can only walk out of the scenic area
The whole journey is over 4 kilometers of mountain road, taking more than an hour to walk
⚠️Warm tips:
1. It is recommended to wear anti-slip shoes, as there are many wet sections in the canyon.
2. There are few places selling things in the scenic area, mostly barbecue and burger-type food, it is advised to prepare your own dry food and water in advance
3. If the Grand Canyon is your last stop, you can take your luggage with you, as there are luggage storage points in the scenic area
Operating hours: 07:30-17:00
🔴To summarize
1. Route B is all downhill, you have to walk a distance from the mountain top to enter and exit
Route B1 is downhill then uphill, enter and exit at the same place
If you want to experience more activities and have ample time, you can take Route B
If you want a quick tour and save energy, you can take Route B1
2. Just buy the glass bridge➕'pick 7 out of 5' package ticket
3. The high-altitude zip line has a weight restriction of below 80 jin (40 kg) and above 160 jin (80 kg)
4. There are very few places selling things inside, it is recommended to bring your own water and snacks

Exploring the wonders of the Earth - Zhangjiajie
This time, I came with full expectations to the 'Avatar Planet' on Earth - Zhangjiajie.
As soon as I stepped into this mysterious land, I was deeply attracted by the towering mountains, winding paths, and lush forests. Every scene in Zhangjiajie is like a work of art carefully carved by nature, making people marvel at the greatness of the creator.
I also bravely challenged the glass bridge, the feeling of walking in the clouds, both exciting and unforgettable.
This trip to Zhangjiajie not only allowed me to appreciate the magnificence of nature, but also made me understand the meaning of travel - exploring the unknown, feeling the beauty of life.
If you are also curious about Zhangjiajie, don't hesitate, join me on this wonderful journey! You will find that the world is more beautiful than you think!

Friends who are preparing to go to Zhangjiajie, please look here
Travelers who are preparing to go to Zhangjiajie, please take 5 minutes to read this guide on how to travel independently in Zhangjiajie, and how to spend 5 days and 4 nights there, for reference.
Must-visit attractions in Zhangjiajie: Forest Park, Tianmen Mountain, Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, Phoenix Ancient City!
~~~Without further ado, let me share my itinerary for 5 days and 4 nights in Zhangjiajie!
Here is my detailed itinerary for 5 days and 4 nights in Zhangjiajie:
Day 1: Arrive in Zhangjiajie—Check into the hotel (it's quite late, so stay near the train station)
Day 2: 5A-level scenic spot Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park—Glass plank road—Tianmen Cave—Night view of Phoenix Ancient City
Day 3: Phoenix Ancient City—Morong Miao Village—Furong Town—Zhangjiajie
Day 4: Wulingyuan 5A-level scenic spot—Yuanjiajie—Mihun Terrace—Qiankun Column—Yangjiajie—Stay in Wulingyuan
Day 5: Ten-mile Gallery—Golden Whip Stream—Tusi City
To sum up this trip to Zhangjiajie, I had a lot of fun, the attractions are very rich, including the fairyland of Zhangjiajie and the cultural experience of Phoenix Ancient City.
🚉【About Transportation】
Zhangjiajie now has high-speed rail service. Those with better economic conditions can choose to fly. Those who want to save money or are relatively close can choose to take the train or bus. I chose to take the train from Guangdong.
🏨【About Accommodation】
The accommodation this time was very special. I stayed in the scenic area on the first night and saw a very beautiful sunrise. The second night I stayed in a guesthouse in Zhangjiajie city. On the third night, I stayed in Phoenix and saw the romantic night view of Phoenix Ancient City. It felt very special.
🖼【About Food】
People in Hunan love spicy food. Both Zhangjiajie and Phoenix are quite humid. If you don't eat spicy food, be sure to tell the restaurant. When you go to Zhangjiajie, you must try the three-pot dish and rice wine. In Phoenix, you must try the blood duck. The taste is very good, but be sure to choose a more authentic restaurant. There are also some snacks like Tujia bacon and sausage, Golden Whip Stream, and hairy chestnuts that are delicious.
【How to save money in Zhangjiajie】
1. Don't go to places you shouldn't go to, such as not going to restaurants where locals don't often go. The prices will be much cheaper and the food will be delicious.
2. Don't join a tour group at the departure place. For example, if I depart from Guangdong, I won't join a tour group in Guangdong, because Guangdong travel agencies will transfer to local agencies for reception. There is an extra link here, and the price will definitely be higher.
3. Book the hotel online in advance, it will be much cheaper.
4. Don't go to the hotels recommended by the touts or touting aunties at the airport or train station exits. That's a one-way street to being ripped off.

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon is a place that you can’t miss if you are in the city of Zhangjiajie. This place is surrounded with so much nature and fresh air that will make you feel recharged.
It is not an easy hiking so it is not recommended for people with weak knees. Make sure you bring comfortable shoes and some water, this site requires long walking around (2 to 3 hours). In case of getting exhausted is possible to find some places to sit down.
The water has such a beautiful greenish shade, I though the pics about this place were photoshopped but in person you will see those true beautiful colours.

Zhangjiajie - Grand Canyon
I booked my tickets to the Grand Canyon and glass bridge a day in advance. I used a travel agent on Wechat and the combined ticket cost 219rmb. I arrived at around 8.45am and the site was already starting to get busy. It opens at 8am and I would suggest arriving as early as possible!
I started with the glass bridge, it was brilliant to walk over and fantastic for photo opportunities. On a sunny day however it’s extremely hot and I recommend sun glasses. After the glass bridge I zip lined down (50rmb) and got a slide (50rmb) the rest of the way to the bottom of the mountain. It was incredible fun and worth every penny! I then took a small boat journey (20rmb) to the walking trial through the Grand Canyon. This was very scenic and peaceful. I passed waterfalls, forests and a cave. You are then put onto another boat that takes you to the exit.
The visit was exciting and definitely something you should do if ever in Zhangjiajie. I’ve attached a price list of other optional activities you can do such as bungee jumping. With taxis it can be an expensive day out, but one to remember.

It takes three or five days to visit Zhangjiajie. The scenery is divided into Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area and Wulingyuan Scenic Area. In addition, the surrounding scenic spots can even be played for a week without a heavy sample. The core scenic spot also takes at least three days.
Wu Lingyuan's Yuan Jiajie is the inspiration for the movie "Avatar" and the most classic scenic spot. It is a must-go stop in Zhangjiajie. When the weather is fine, the mountains are rolling, and the ground rises, it is amazing. When there is a cloud, the clouds are haunting, just like a fairyland.

Grand Canyon & TianMen Visit!
Finally got to visit this amazing place! (2 separate days)
First trip to the Grand Canyon @ZhangJiaJie
- The view is beautiful and though i didn’t get a proper picture the sheer drop from the bridge is insane! We took the zip line down (there’s a zip line!!) and it was great! The boat ride and walk down below was peaceful. Couldn’t believe how turquoise the water was!
Second day trip to TianMen
- Absolutely breathtaking (i was gasping for air the amount of steps are no joke, especially the stairway to heavens gate) The weather was rather misty at TianMen but it was gorgeous nonetheless! Didn’t manage to complete the 7km+ route (the park officers will usher you to the nearest way out and down by 5pm) but we completed half of jt so i’d say that’s a win!#travel #zhangjiajie #familytravel

Trip to Hunan, China 🇨🇳
It was a trip to Hunan, China with family. We began our journey in Changsha, the vibrant capital of Hunan. A visit to Yuelu Academy, one of China’s oldest academic institutions, was a must for its serene architecture and scholarly atmosphere. The golden hour ☀️ in the courtyard was perfect for photos, with sunlight filtering through ancient trees 🌳 Later, we explored Orange Island (Juzizhou), capturing the massive Chairman Mao Statue with the Xiang River as a backdrop 😍
Yuelu Academy
📍273 Lushan Rd, Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan
Orange Island
📍Juzizhou Park, Furong District, Changsha, Hunan
We also explored the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park 🌳 famous for its towering sandstone pillars that inspired the floating mountains ⛰️ in Avatar. For the best photos 📸 we recommend visiting Tianzi Mountain ⛰️ during sunrise for stunning views above the clouds ☁️ The Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, suspended over a deep canyon, gave us heart-racing shots with the breathtaking scenery beneath our feet 👣

We also explored Fenghuang Ancient Town (Phoenix Village), a picturesque riverside village with well-preserved Qing dynasty architecture. The vibrant night scene, with glowing red lanterns reflecting off the Tuojiang River, made for magical photos 📸 During the day, we wandered through the cobblestone streets and captured the iconic stilted houses along the riverbank. The best time for photos is early morning ⛅️ when the soft light bathes the town in a golden glow.
Fenghuang Ancient Town
📍Fenghuang County, Xiangxi Prefecture, Hunan
Lastly, we also explored to Tianmen Mountain ⛰️ where we rode the world’s longest cable car 🚠 to the summit. The Tianmen Cave (Heaven’s Gate), a natural arch high in the mountain ⛰️ was a sight to behold. We recommend visiting in the morning ☀️ for fewer crowds and clearer views. The 99-Bend Road, zigzagging up the mountain, also provided thrilling photo opportunities from the cable car 🚠
Tianmen Mountain
📍Tianmen Mountain National Park, Yongding District, Zhangjiajie, Hunan
We loved every moment of our Hunan adventure, and we highly recommend it for anyone seeking breathtaking scenery and rich cultural experiences!
