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🏠

Your like👍, love💗,
and follow👀,
are the greatest encouragement for me🥰! I am as happy as a child😜, looking forward to an unexpected encounter with you😎!!
Climb up the messy slope for about 1 hour, and then basically punch in to the docking point and use more than 1 hour for reference. The scenery is the core landscape of a whole scenic spot except Tianzi Shanxi. If there is clouds and mist, it should be beautiful.
It is a mountain high platform, where the trees are lush and foggy, known as the mysterious "Pandora World". The most famous attraction is the scene of the suspended mountain "Hallelujah" in the movie "Avatar". The magnificent Ecstasy is the best observation deck in the scenic area. Standing in Taichung, there are hundreds of stone peaks standing around, which is extraordinary. The first bridge in the world, spanning between the two mountains, is the largest natural self-generated stone bridge in the world to date.
The "Qianqianzhu" in Yuanjiajie is the prototype of the suspended mountain in Avatar. If you want to see clearly, you must choose the sunny sky mountain, and you can only see the fog and the mountain on rainy days. From Yuanjiajie to Tianzi Mountain, take the Tianzi Mountain cableway down the mountain, and you will go to Shili Gallery and Jinwhip Creek.
Yujiajie is located in the core of Zhangjiajie World Natural Heritage Site, more than 1,000 meters above sea level, surrounded by steep cliffs, standing in the Wuling Mountains, just like the high platform. Take the Bailong Tian ladder up to 326 meters, less than two minutes, Yujiajie Scenic Area will be displayed in front of you. The extreme view is far away, the peaks are stacked, Wuling thousands of mountains are running to the bottom of the eye, the strange peaks and stones of thousands of shapes, like a sharp blade piercing the blue sky, a magnificent scene of "canylands and thousands of pillars"! Overlooking the quiet valley, the clouds are lingering, a magical feeling of "people walking on the wall, clouds floating under the feet" comes into being.
Every time I go out to play, I will open this platform to take a look. As always, it is good, five-star praise, I hope not to be proud, continue to work hard. ⁽ⁿᵔᵕᵔⁿ⁾ Overall it is very beautiful and it is a relaxing place.
