Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is a majestic slice of heaven perfect for the nature lovers. It is a world heritage park that features a lot of awesome mountain views. It is a friendly trek for young and old alike. To reach the peak, you do not have to sweat it out. The walk is minimal. There are buses at different stations that will bring you up and going down is easy peasy with a bus and an 8 minute cable ride and the fall colors of the trees are just awesome when you view it from the cable car. There are also food vendors at the top that sells a lot of Chinese street foods. And wonder of wonders, there is even KFC and Starbucks. My photos do not do it justice at all.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is probably the most coveted part of the area. The park is 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.

I visited Zhangjiajie with my family and engaged a local tour for our trip. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend opting for a private tour. Unlike standard group tours, private tours won’t pressure you to visit and spend at tourist souvenir shops, which can be quite stressful. From what I understand, many tour guides rely on commissions from these shops as they don’t receive a fixed salary. That said, the overall experience of sightseeing in Zhangjiajie was absolutely worth it. The stunning landscapes and unique attractions make it a destination I would highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to China!

Amazed by the scenery of the nature! It was a bit of regret as it was a sunny day and we were not able to see the cloud with the mountain! But was lucky enough as we can still see the mountain! No complaint. The air and the scenery makes me feel really happy for no reason. There is plenty of weird monkey and happen that the monkey snatch the plastic bag of the tourist.

A must see when visiting Zhangjiajie. The views are spectacular, and breathtaking. For the amount of people that come through the park, it is very well organized. You must have patience dealing with large crowds. Every view point is pushing and shoving. Be prepared to put on a good pair of walking shoes, and get ready to climb many steps. I came after the national holiday, and was still very busy. I wouldn't recommend visiting during any holiday dates.

This is probably one of the coolest places I have visited. There are breathtaking photos at every turn! We hiked a lot with our guide, and it was truly something I will remember forever. Some trails are on the cliffs and are amazing to see.

This is a must in everyone's bucket list! As it's off season, there was very little queuing. We booked through trip.com, very fuss free and with a tour guide who will pick u from your hotel. Highly recommend getting a tour guide, this place is huge! There are so much to do and see. Without a guide we will definitely waste alot of time moving around. Tip : Avoid the monkeys, they are very aggressive and will grab anyone with any plastic bags in sight!

The national park is a piece of natural beauty. It certainly leaves you awestruck. Tickets are valid for 4 days which means you can visit unlimited times during the validity. However, attractions like bailong elevator, cable cars are all paid separately unless purchased with the unlimited access package. the park has signboard in English, bus stations are well marked and there are maps too. We did our study and were able to easily navigate without the need of a guide. It took us an entire day to cover the main sites and we totally loved our experience. The avatar mountains, bailong elevator, tianzi mountain, cableways are all fantastic and amazing.
