Check out the route here🙌 Zhangjiajie's natural scenery is unique and beautiful everywhere! During the Qingming Festival and Labor Day holidays, Zhangjiajie is really crowded😇 If you want to avoid the crowds🫠 and feel the tranquility of nature, follow me and carefully select three small but beautiful destinations! 1️⃣ Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon! The best choice for a spring outing! The flow of people is not even half of that at Tianmen Mountain Forest Park. But the scenery is by no means inferior! 2️⃣ The first bend of Maoyan River and Lishui! Nature's amazing craftsmanship has created a valley and gorge landscape with a depth of 100m and a curvature of 90 degrees, which is majestic and breathtakingly beautiful.

You will pass through the Gates of Hell, the Gates of Angels, the Gates of Heaven, Jiaergou, etc. Those who love outdoor activities will definitely be satisfied! 📝Outdoor Tips 📍In Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, there are Line A and Line B, and Line A is purely scenic and also cheaper. It's your first choice if you want to walk and enjoy the scenery for 50💰! But it's mainly walking! Line B package includes various attractions such as the glass bridge, 7-choice-5 items, etc.🫧 📍There is a free cruise in the Grand Canyon, and you can also take a ferry on the way back🫧 📍The first choice for driving to the Grand Canyon from Baoji is Parking Lot 1, so it's more convenient when you return🫧 📍Tianquan Mountain Lishuiyuan is located in Sangzhi County, Zhangjiajie City, and you can drive from Zhangjiajie City or take a bus from the West Bus Station to Shentangping to reach Tianquan Mountain National Forest Park🫧 📍The roads in Zhangjiajie are narrow and winding, so be careful when driving🫧 📍Cave exploration at the center of the Earth. The interior environment of the cave is complex. It's better not to go alone. Find a guide or go with others🫧 That's all for the share, if you have any questions, please leave a comment~ Have a happy holiday everyone🥳

Zhangjiajie National Forest park is a MUST VISIT place in China. It is difficult to explain with words how this place is, we are still staggered and stunned after visiting it… It is crazy cool, it is like a city with skyscrapers made out of mountains and greenery with insane formations and among them is misty, full of magical corridors and hollows in which some of them are raining like if it was the last day on earth and another ones chilled drizzling… We spent three days exploring the park and we had enough time to see all the places but the ticket is valid for 4 days, which is quite nice! 💙FEELING THE AVATAR EXPERIENCE💙 . . . #passionpassport #scenicspotguide #seasidephotoguide #summervacation #china

🌸 Dear friends, for those planning to travel to Zhangjiajie, I sincerely suggest not to join a tour group. A local small private group of 2-12 people offers better value for money. What's the difference? Group tour: 1. Fixed itinerary, less freedom. 2. Possible waste of time due to shopping activities. 3. The quality of group members varies, which may affect the travel experience. Small private group: 1. Flexible itinerary, customizable according to needs. 2. No shopping during the tour, more time for enjoyment. 3. Fewer people in the group, more pleasant and comfortable for both mind and body. 🌸 For a more enjoyable trip to Zhangjiajie, choosing a small private group is definitely the right choice

#chinatrip A stunning, breathtaking and awe-inspiring place. The inspiration for Pandora in the Avatar movie. An absolute must-see. The best time to see will be in early winter as the place will appear mythical and magical in the mist. The park comprised of dense forests, deep ravines, deep canyons, unusual peaks, caves, and pillar-like rock formations blanketed throughout the park. These pillar rock formations are what the park is renowned for around the world.

Some scenery is the same as Yuanjiajie, but from a different angle. Lacks a sense of layering, the scenery is average. ·Yuanjiajie 2h: Take the eco-car from the East Gate to the Bailong Elevator, buy a one-way ticket. Ascend within the mountain for several tens of seconds, in exchange for a dozen seconds of open scenery, as if piercing through the clouds to see the sun. The Mihun Platform has distinct layers, offering an excellent view. The First Bridge Under Heaven is a unique product of sandstone geomorphology during a specific period. ·Yangjiajie 1h: Take the eco-car to Yangjiajie Station. Only the Natural Great Wall is open, which is the most spectacular peak wall in the park. Wulong Village is not open yet. ·Aerial Fields/Reviewing Stand 2h: Take the eco-car to the three-way junction station. The walk is too far, so a round-trip ticket is recommended. At the Reviewing Stand, the stone pillars and the Bailong Elevator come at you, as if within reach, with a shock that is beyond words. ·Tianzi Mountain 2h: Take the eco-car to Tianzi Mountain. When the scenery starts to feel a bit monotonous, Tianzi Mountain appears with a completely different forest peak form, refreshing the view. The observation deck offers a wide view, with clear layers of peaks, and the scenery is magnificent. -At the bottom of the mountain ·Ten-mile Gallery 1.5h: Take the eco-car to the Ten-mile Gallery station, the scenery on foot is far inferior to Jinbian Stream, a round-trip ticket is available. At the end is a free monkey garden, where you can feed small monkeys by hand. ·Museum 40min: Take the eco-car to Shuirao Simen station. Free admission. Introduces the evolution of the geomorphology and exhibits local fossils and minerals. The treasure of the museum is a giant hornstone that is several meters long, which is astonishing. ·Jinbian Stream 3h: Walk from Shuirao Simen to the Oxygen Bar Square. Layered rocks have collapsed into the stream and along the streamside. The towering stone pillars appear in another posture, making one marvel at the wonders of nature. There is a chance to see salamanders at the Oxygen Bar Square. -Tianmen Mountain ·Mountain Top Loop 3h. Unfortunately, due to the heavy rain, only Tianmen Cave was seen, leaving regrets. -Performances ·Eternal Love: The stage effects are excellent. A song 'Masang Tree' interspersed with stories of ancient and modern heroes' farewells, which is touching and tear-inducing. The actors' performance is on par with Charm of Xiangxi. The ultimate stage effects and choreography bring more empathy. ·Charm of Xiangxi: Portrays some customs of the Tujia and Miao ethnic groups. It is superior in terms of folklore to Eternal Love, but slightly less empathetic. After the show inside, there is a folk stunt performance outside, including fire breathing, walking on knives and fire, and feats of strength. ·Tianmen Fox Fairy: A fixed real-scene stage, a clichéd human-fox love story, the viewing experience is average.

Zhangjiajie is so enchanting! 🤩🌟🌟 Spring is just right, and the weekend is a great time for a spring outing! 😍💐 Hurry up and prepare your spring outing guide, and let's go to Zhangjiajie to enjoy the spring scenery together~ 🗓️1⃣️ 📍Tianmen Mountain Take a ride from Zhangjiajie city center to the Tianmen Mountain Cableway Station in the city garden. The full ticket + insurance costs 278 yuan, including the entrance ticket, Tianmen Mountain cableway, mountain escalator, and Tianmen Cave express cableway. 📌The mountaintop is divided into east and west lines, with the main attractions on the west line. If time is limited or you're not feeling energetic, it's recommended to choose the west line first!! 🍛 Try the Zhangjiajie specialty dish 'Three Pots' and check out the many highly-rated shops on Ctrip, you won't be disappointed~ 😋🥢🍲 🗓️2⃣️ 📍Wulingyuan Enter the scenic area—take the scenic shuttle bus—visit the Hundred Dragons Elevator—Yuanjiajie—Yangjiajie—Tianzi Mountain—Ten-mile Gallery 🪧 Yuanjiajie is the filming location for the movie 'Avatar', with attractions like the First Bridge under Heaven. After visiting Yuanjiajie, take the shuttle bus to Yangjiajie, known as the 'Natural Great Wall'. The most classic sight in Yuanjiajie is the Peak Wall Wonder, and along the way, there are attractions like Wulong Village, Tianbo Mansion, and One Step to Heaven. From Wulong Village, take the shuttle bus to Tianzi Mountain scenic area 🦵 If you're not up for walking, you can opt for the cable car + shuttle bus directly to the Ten-mile Gallery (if you choose to walk, it takes about 2 hours, depending on your physical condition). The Ten-mile Gallery is a walk in the valley, about 5 kilometers long, with particularly beautiful scenery, a natural oxygen bar. No need to rush, just enjoy the beautiful scenery~ 🌿🌞🌈 🍛 For lunch, you can dine in the scenic area or bring some dry food and snacks. In the evening, back in the city, it's recommended to visit the Zhangjiajie specialty night market, Houlong Street~ 🍜🎉🏙️ 🍛 For friends who are leaving Zhangjiajie on the same day, be sure to take some of Zhangjiajie's specialty cold dishes, 'Mocheng Eighteen Types', with you. The dried konjac is super suitable for snacking while watching a show! 🥗📺🚀 Outfit: 👔 The recent temperature in Zhangjiajie is around 10 degrees, with a significant temperature difference in the morning and evening. It's recommended to wear a base layer + thin down jacket in the city, and you can take it off when it gets hot at noon. Essential items: Documents: ID card, student card, etc. Backpack: A larger backpack is more convenient to carry in the scenic area. Shoes: Choose comfortable sports shoes, leather shoes and high heels are really too tiring! Toiletries: Toothbrush, toothpaste, face cloth, towel, skincare products Personal change of clothes Rain gear: The weather in Zhangjiajie is unpredictable, it's best to carry an umbrella when going out Power bank: You'll be in the scenic area for a whole day, shared power banks are hard to borrow and return, so bring your own~ Medicines: Motion sickness medicine, stomach medicine, cold medicine🏥🌡

Walking through the quiet deep mountain canyons, the boundary between man and nature begins to blur. Personally, I think the most quintessential part of Jinbian Stream is actually in the middle U-shaped valley, where it's quieter and more artistic, with fewer people. The two ends are more crowded. The whole journey is 5.7km, and with stops and photo taking, it takes about 2.5 hours. If time allows, I recommend walking the entire distance.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park 1. Specific route for playing at the bottom of the mountain: Enter through the central gate (Zimu Gang ticket station)—Take the eco-friendly bus—Get off at Shui Rao Si Men station—Hike along Jinbian Stream (from east to west)—Arrive at the Great Oxygen Bar Square—Take the eco-friendly bus to Huangshi Village—Get off at the lower station of Huangshi Village cableway—Take the cableway up to Huangshi Village—Tour Huangshi Village clockwise along the big loop—Take the cableway down from Huangshi Village—Take the eco-friendly bus—Head to the south gate of the forest park to exit—Dinner: Xiangji Lao Cai Restaurant 2. Points to note: 1. Time management is crucial to avoid travel groups. I recommend walking Jinbian Stream from east to west. The central gate opens at 7:30 AM, and travel groups usually start hiking from the Great Oxygen Bar Square, moving from west to east along Jinbian Stream around 8:00 AM. Therefore, between 9:00-10:30 AM, the photo spots where 'Journey to the West' was filmed will be crowded. I suggest we either reach the filming location before 9:00 AM or after 10:30 AM, by which time the groups will have passed, making it easier for us to take photos. 2. Safety issues: There are two sections along Jinbian Stream with many monkeys. Do not expose food in front of them or rummage through your bags, as there's a chance the monkeys will snatch things like phones and sunglasses, which they can't distinguish as edible or not. Remember to protect children. 3. I believe Huangshi Village is the most beautiful spot in Zhangjiajie. Don't listen to travel groups saying otherwise. A visit to Huangshi Village should be reserved for 3-4 hours. Travel groups take the cable car up and only take photos around a few spots near the cable car station. I suggest touring Huangshi Village clockwise along the big loop. There's a trail along the edge of the mountain, surrounding the entire village, offering many beautiful views and a peaceful experience with fewer tourists. 4. I recommend taking the cable car to go up and down Huangshi Village. If you choose to walk down, reserve 2-3 hours as the path is particularly steep with some stairs that are wet and slippery. It's not suitable for children and the elderly to hike. Since we have both elderly and children in our group, I've arranged a hiking route up Tianzi Mountain for the third day, so we'll take the cable car both ways. 5. After exiting Zhangjiajie National Forest Park through the north gate, there are fewer restaurants compared to the east gate. Be mentally prepared. For lunch, I suggest having some snacks on Huangshi Village or at the Great Oxygen Bar Square, which offers similar food options. If you like my guide, please give it a like and follow me. I will continue to update travel guides for popular attractions around the country, hoping to help you plan your trips! If you have any questions, leave a comment below!
