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🥳

🌸 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 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

You can see the formation process of the quartz sandstone peak forest and appreciate the beauty of different geological historical stages. Its distribution density, the strangeness of the shape, the order of the geomorphological combination, etc., have all reached the highest aesthetic realm of the geological landscape. People all say 'Jiuzhaigou is for water, Zhangjiajie is for mountains.' Indeed, Huangshizhai is for mountains, Yuanjiajie is for mountains, Tianzi Mountain is for mountains, but in any other place in the world, you cannot see such mountains in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

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.

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.

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.

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
