Things to do in Zhangjiajie

Zhangjiajie's landmark is undoubtedly a must-visit place. Although it's all mountains, it's quite different from the mountains and forests in other places. Everyone should take the opportunity to go there.

An amazing park with some of the most breathtaking sights you'll ever see!It's generally all one way travel (depending on which route you choose) and it's well run but it can be somewhat confusing to get around, especially if you're only there for one day.I spent two days up the mountains and still didn't have time to explore even half the locations!Having a translator app to ask staff for directions or to confirm if this is the correct bus to get on is recommended but in general, for example if you want to get to Tianzi mountain you can just say "Tianzi Mountain. Bus?"The Tianzi Cableway and Bailong lift are well worth the ticket price, not just for the view but to avoid a 2hr hike uphill!If it's a misty day I recommend going along the Whip Stream. And if it's a clear day, get there early and take the Bailong Lift UP -> Head to the Avatar/Hallelujah Mountain views. Then head to Tianzi Mountain, get lost in the park and take in the higher viewpoints of the mountain ran

I think this is the most worthwhile place to visit in Zhangjiajie, even surpassing Tianmen Mountain. It's especially great with kids. The daytime is boring, but there are so many activities at night, one after another. We originally planned to leave at 7 pm, but ended up leaving at 10:30 pm and couldn't get out at all. However, the food inside is really bad, really, really bad.

The starting point is the most fun; I highly recommend the Via Ferrata. It's all about fun and relatively safe. Note that there are two lines, one going up and one going down. If you go down but don't go back up, you'll have to go back to get your luggage, which costs twice. The zipline is an option, but the queue is 2 hours long, and the ride lasts only 5 minutes. Other attractions are best enjoyed as something new to try.

The karst caves offer a unique and spacious experience. Following the guide, the tour avoids backtracking and takes approximately two hours. The 19-meter-high "Sea-Calming Needle" is particularly impressive, and one can't help but marvel at the wonders of nature. Zhangjiajie truly is a magical place!

We went to Tianzi Mountain on May 3rd. Due to rain showers, all the scenic spots at the top were shrouded in white fog. Fortunately, we got a close-up view of many peaks from the cable car, so it counted as a tour.

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon combines high-altitude thrills with a scenic gorge hike. The main attraction is the glass bridge, suspended 300 meters above the canyon floor and stretching 430 meters long. It features transparent glass panels and the world's highest bungee jump. Beyond the bridge, a three-kilometer trail follows a mountain stream through the canyon floor. This section includes waterfalls, cliff-side walkways and a boat ride. There's also a Zipline, VR-experience and different lifts and slides to traverse the park. The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon (Glass Bridge) + Zhangjiajie National Forest Park Admission Ticket + 5 of 7 Grand Canyon Attractions Combo Ticket is exceptionally good value and highly recommended!I also recommend booking the ferrata experience. It's safe, affordable, exciting and will give you an experience most people don't dare attempt!

We are so happy to visit Tianmen Mountain. We bought the ticket from Trip.com. we choose Line C. Take the bus from shuttle bus station up to the cable Car station . We have to buy extra one CNY32 escalator up to the hills for 2 ways. Thank you Trip.com.

To do only this mountain need both ways cable car otherwise it’s long way in bus.

Friend, if you don't want to end up like me, spending four days only doing one one-way trips on the three cable cars and one elevator (walking up, cable car down, or elevator up, walking down), and walking around 20,000 steps a day, covering over 10 kilometers, leaving your legs exhausted by the time you get back to the hotel each day, then I recommend buying a round-trip cable car and elevator ticket. Play the way I did; I saw 90% of the attractions in the scenic area in 3.5 days. I exited through all four gates once (don't exit from the North Gate unless you're staying there).
