Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

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

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🏥🌡

Day2 Route：Forest Park ticket station - Huangshi Village - Golden Whip Creek - Ten miles gallery.There are a lot of monkeys at the gate of the forest park and Huangshi village, we met the monkey fight, there are a lot of monkey mothers with little monkeys ask food from tourists, you should better not taking food and bags, or there will be a risk of being caught by monkeys! Huangshi Village is the earliest scenic area developed in Zhangjiajie. Now not many people go there. You can walk for 2 hours to avoid the crowds. Ten Mile Gallery is great place to be visit by a small train. When you enter, you’d better to sit on the left side of the train and when you come out, you sit on the right side of the train. Three sisters mountain is the most significant attention.Although we caught the rain, but after the rain the air more fresh, misty like a fairyland! So beautiful! #besttrip#summerdays #summervacation

I am staying in Zhangjiajie, close to Dayong town, so booked a taxi to the site costing approximately 90rmb. I made sure to leave extremely early to beat the crowds and arrived at 7am. It was very easy to buy a ticket and considering the ticket gives you access to the park for 4 days, very cost effective. My ticket cost 224rmb. The ticket includes the shuttle bus journeys but not the cable car trips (65-75rmb), glass elevator (65rmb) or sightseeing train (38rmb). These have to be booked separately at the site. This did bump the cost up quite a bit. The park is huge! I spent 2 days exploring. Everything is beautiful and easy to find if you have a map (our hotel provided us with a map and you can buy them on site). There are numerous highlights to see such as the first bridge, the Avatar shooting site, the glass elevator and Tianzi mountain. There are also lots of hiking trails offered and these are clearly labelled on the map. We hiked up Tianzi mountain, it was a fantastic experience that took about 2 hours. The visit requires a lot of walking so wear sensible shoes. There are plenty of food and drink options on site. There is also lots of shopping opportunities, I bought a beautiful oil painting of the mountains. An amazing experience and whether you are in China or not, this is something to add to the bucket list! #naturalwonders #nationalpark #hikingtrails #china #summervacation

The area that became famous from the movie Avatar. Photos can never do this place justice. It's one of those areas you have to witness with your own eyes.

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 can go to Tianmen Mountain for free! 3️⃣ Explore the center of the Earth, hike the secret regions of western Hunan, and start caving! 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🥳

#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.

Zhangjiajie's uniqueness, danger, and steepness might be unparalleled, with three thousand peculiar peaks crafted by nature, magnificent and perilous, primitive and lush, with clear lakes, and scenic spots everywhere. When you see Zhangjiajie, you will only feel at a loss for words, so much so that it's insufficient to describe its beauty Note❗️There are many mosquitoes, and the ointment from local pharmacies is super effective.
