Here is some guidance for visiting the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon and Yellow Dragon Cave in one day. 🌅 I recommend staying within Wulingyuan. We started our day at around 8am, grabbing some cheap, local breakfast from one of the numerous food options nearby (5-10 yuan per person, plus some extra to bring for lunch). You can then get a taxi for around 40-50 yuan from Wulingyuan to the entrance of Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon (which works out cheaper than getting the bus for a family of four). 💵 Adult ticket prices: 289 yuan Student prices: 178 yuan If you are a student, you will need photo ID (eg passport), your student ID and a document which proves you are studying at a bachelors level (can be online). These ticket prices include the glass bridge, VR experience, zip line (or elevators depending on what route you take), slideway, and 2 boat rides. Outwith this you can pay for other activities including bungee jumping (1999 yuan) and rock climbing (45 yuan). 🏔️Once tickets are bought, you can make your way along the Glass Bridge, wearing the provided shoe covers. On the other side there is a restaurant and the option for rock climbing. The option for bungee jumping takes place on the bridge. 🎈Next there is a walk along the cliff side and then a short VR experience that simulates a hot air balloon ride around the canyon. 🚶🏻♀️From here, there is either the option to zip line across the canyon and then the slideway to reach the other side, or if that isn’t for you, you can take a series of elevators and a few more walks. The meeting point of these two routes is the Rainbow Lake. 🛥️There is then a short boat cruise along the lake at the base of the canyon. Following this, a 40-50 minute walk to take in the views of the canyon, and through a short cave, before another cruise to reach the end of the Grand Canyon Experience. 🐉This takes you to around 4pm. From the car park at the exit of the Grand Canyon, take a 15 minute taxi ride to the entrance of the Yellow Dragon Cave (~25 yuan) or alternatively, there are coaches that travel in between for 10 yuan per person. 💵 Adult Price: 130 yuan Student Price: 65 yuan Last entry to the scenic area is 5:30pm. 🪨 You are taken on a guided tour that lasts about 1.5 hours through the caves with spectacular views of the stalactite and stalagmite structures with many light projections and includes a boat ride. 🚕 Once done, you can get a 10 minute taxi back into Wulingyuan (15 yuan).

My bestie and I spent three days exploring Tianmen Mountain and Zhangjiajie, averaging 20,000 steps daily – our legs nearly gave out! So I've compiled this ultra-efficient guide focusing on core attractions with minimal walking! Girls, follow this to ensure you depart happily and return happily 🏃 Remember to bookmark for easy reference~ . Our Journey 🗺️ We took a high-speed train from Changsha straight to Zhangjiajie, arriving in the afternoon. Having pre-booked at Four Famous Buildings Aesthetic Inn (Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park Branch), we were picked up upon arrival. The hotel handled all travel arrangements and tickets – zero stress! After trying the famous local dish Sanxiaguo, we rested to prepare for Tianmen Mountain the next day! . 📍Tianmen Mountain One full day suffices, with three route options: A: Cable car up + express cable down (easiest) B: Express cable up + main cable down (requires climbing) C: Round-trip express cable (involves both ascent and descent) 🌟My pick: Route A! Descending is easier than climbing – enjoy views while comfortably winding down. . 📍Zhangjiajie National Forest Park Best explored over two days to avoid exhaustion. Day 1: East Gate → Bailong Elevator → Yuanjiajie → Yangjiajie → Tianzi Mountain → Tianzi Cableway back Day 2: East Gate → Shili Gallery → Golden Whip Stream → Yellow Stone Village → Great Oxygen Bar Square → exit via South Gate . Pro Tips: 1️⃣ For Bailong Elevator: Secure a front spot near the glass for best views! 2️⃣ Eco-buses serve all attractions – motion-sickness meds recommended 💊 3️⃣ Beware of monkeys – keep distance 💥 Book tickets early! Student discounts available with ID 💥 Significant temperature variation – pack a jacket . 📍Food Recommendations: Must-tries include Tujia smoked bacon, blood tofu, sausages, glutinous rice cakes, cold noodles, and especially Tujia Sanxiaguo (don't miss this signature hotpot!). All hotel-recommended restaurants served delicious meals – we dined repeatedly. For souvenirs: Zhangjiajie's rock fungus, kudzu powder, and berry tea are famous – I brought some home for friends.

In early June, we climbed Zhangjiajie in Hunan, and it completely exhausted me! It was incredibly tough – I literally lost 10 pounds just from coming down the mountain! Going up, gasping for breath 😮‍💨 Going down, legs shaking like jelly~ Wind-blown and sun-kissed ~ but utterly free 🔱 The scenery in Zhangjiajie is truly, truly breathtaking, but climbing it is also truly, truly, insanely exhausting. I lost 5 pounds right after coming back 😋 Enough talk, here’s the real deal! 💖 **Day 1: Tianmen Mountain** Route: Tianmen Mountain Cableway Upper Station → Yunmeng Fairy Summit → Tianmen Mountain Cableway Upper Station → West Route → Tianmen Mountain Temple → East Route → Mountain-Piercing Escalator → Tianmen Cave → Descend the 999 Steps → Downhill **Tips:** - The glass walkway costs 5 yuan per person. Don’t buy shoe covers from sellers at the foot—you can’t enter just because you have them; staff check at the entrance. - Food near Tianmen Mountain Temple is overpriced and not great. Try restaurants recommended by your hotel—they’re delicious! 💖 **Day 2: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (Mountain Area)** Stayed at a homestay 10 mins from the East Gate. Took the Bailong Elevator at 8:30 AM—lucky again, only a 10-minute wait! Route: East Gate → Bailong Elevator → Yuanjiajie → Yangjiajie → Tianzi Mountain → Cableway down (East Gate) **Tips:** - **Bring a hiking stick!** There are endless steps, both up and down. - The eco-bus from Yangjiajie to Tianzi Mountain is fast with sharp turns—motion-sickness-prone folks, beware! - Don’t overpack food. Tianzi Mountain Station has a snack street with fair prices, like 20-yuan all-you-can-eat fried rice. 💖 **Day 3: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (Valley Area)** Walked the entire Golden Whip Stream (now regretting it deeply). Route: East Gate → Shili Gallery → Golden Whip Stream → Great Oxygen Bar Square → Yellow Stone Village → South Gate **Tips:** 1. Shili Gallery is small—just take the mini-train in, see some monkeys, and ride back out. 2. **Monkeys WILL snatch things!** Avoid plastic bags and keep your hiking stick handy. 3. Golden Whip Stream is over 7 km (2+ hours walk). Adding Yellow Stone Village’s small loop (1.5 hours) or big loop (2 hours) is brutal on the legs. 🔥 **Optimized Route (Learned the Hard Way):** 1. After the mountain tour, take Tianzi Mountain Cableway down and head straight to Shili Gallery. The mini-train ride covers most sights in under 30 mins. Next day, enter via the South Gate. 2. From the South Gate, visit Great Oxygen Bar Square first, then Golden Whip Stream (walk just a few hundred meters before turning back to the square for Yellow Stone Village). **Critical Lesson:** Walking the full Golden Whip Stream + Yellow Stone Village left me too exhausted for Changsha later! This trip was mostly smooth—great stay at Tianmen Mountain’s Four Famous Residences Aesthetic Inn. Here are extra tips to help you: ✨ **Pro Tips:** 1️⃣ At Tianmen Mountain’s entrance, ignore shoe cover sellers—the glass walkway ticket includes them. 2️⃣ The National Forest Park is huge. With a group, hiring a guide for navigation/commentary is wise to avoid getting lost. 3️⃣ Golden Whip Stream is a hidden gem—a natural oxygen bar with crisp air. - The flat path along the stream is perfect for kids. - Pack extra clothes, non-slip outdoor shoes, and a water gun for maximum fun!

🌈 Highlights: For your Dragon Boat Festival trip to Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain, here are the must-visit attractions and practical tips: Top Attractions: 1. Tianmen Cave: The iconic landmark of Tianmen Mountain, this world's highest natural mountain-penetrating karst cave (131.5m tall) exudes mystery. Admire its grandeur from Tianmen Cave Square, then challenge the 999-step "Stairway to Heaven" (or take the mountain-penetrating escalator for ¥32 one-way if tired). Post-rain, the cave is often shrouded in sea of clouds, creating a fairy-tale scene. 2. Glass Walkway & Ghost Valley Plank Road: ◦ West Line Glass Walkway: Hanging 1,400m above cliffs, this 60m transparent walkway offers dizzying views (¥5 shoe cover fee). ◦ Ghost Valley Plank Road: This 1,600m cliffside trail overlooks karst landscapes, with some sections featuring "heartbeat experience" viewing platforms. Tip: The Panlong Cliff Glass Walkway recently replaced its glass panels for enhanced safety. 3. Tianmen Mountain Cableway: The world's longest alpine passenger cableway (7,455m, 28-min ride). Sit on the right side for panoramic views of the "99 Bends" mountain road. 4. Yunmeng Fairy Summit & Tianmen Mountain Temple: ◦ Yunmeng Fairy Summit: At 1,518.6m altitude, enjoy Zhangjiajie's panoramic views, especially magical with morning/rain-induced clouds. ◦ Tianmen Mountain Temple: A Ming Dynasty monastery housing Sakyamuni's relics, perfect for blessings and historical immersion. 🕐 Opening Hours: 07:30-19:00 (last entry 16:00), subject to official notices. 🏝️ Itinerary Tips (Dragon Boat Festival Special): 1. Weather & Gear: Expect frequent rain (15-34°C); pack raincoats, non-slip shoes, and light jackets. Glass walkways may close in rain—check availability upon entry. 2. Crowds & Tickets: ◦ Fewer visitors than Labor Day/National Day, but still book tickets 3 days in advance (¥278/person, includes cableway & shuttle bus). ◦ Recommended routes: - Route A (cableway up + escalator down): Enter before 7:30am to avoid tour groups. - Route B (shuttle bus up + cableway down): Ideal for prioritizing Tianmen Cave. Express Route: Cableway → West Glass Walkway → Ghost Valley Plank Road → Tianmen Temple → Yunmeng Summit → Mountain Escalator to Tianmen Cave → Shuttle bus down (~4 hours). ◦ Crowd Hack: Visit Tianmen Cave after 14:00 when tour groups thin out. 💗 Extra Tips: • Discounts: Students/seniors (60-65) get ¥155 tickets; seniors 65+ enjoy free entry. • Night Tour: Summer-only Tianmen Cave light show & forest cable car (¥25, overlooks primeval forest). 🏨 Stay: Hotels/B&Bs near Tianmen Mountain offer convenience. I recommend Sidamingzhu Aesthetic Inn with free airport transfers and charming staff service.

Zhangjiajie is a “little” town (over 1.6 million people living in there) close by a few incredible natural, cultural and historic sites. At least a few days here are worth the visit. - a couple of days hiking inside the #zhangjiajienationalforestpark and the famous Avatar-movie mountains and pillars (the main photo I took and shared is the #avatarhallelujahmountain - its name changed after the movie made the pillar quite famous). The national park is huge and two or three days are just enough to visit the best spots by busses, cable cars, elevators and hiking a lot. Amazing park, well kept and clean, beautiful views. - second spot is the infamous #zhangjiajiegrandcanyonglassbridge - a big suspended bridge over the beautiful Zhangjiajie Canyon. It supposed to be scary. It wasn’t. The canyon view is wonderful, glass bridge, a little less. - third on the list is the #tianmenmountain and its jaw dropping #heavensgate - you get to the base of the heaven’s gate by cable cars and to get to the natural cave you need to be ready to go through 999 very steep steps. Massive burn on my calves 🔥 but, again, super worthy! Amazing spot 😍 - finally, the #72wondertowerzhangjiajie - I was really surprised by this. The #72qilou , or 72 strange building, is the #guinnesworldrecord for the highest stilted building 😯 . It’s beautiful during the day, but astonishing at night. You pay 88 yuan the entrance and you have access to endless show from 6pm, including cultural songs, dancing and a crazy fire show 🔥 🔥 A-M-A-Z-I-N-G First part of the #hunan province in #china was a blessing ❤️🪭🇨🇳 Let’s go China

Unique peaks, streams, glass walkways—here lies all your imagination of mountains and waters. 🌄

— In Zhangjiajie, there's a fairyland-like destination that makes you feel like you're floating above the clouds, embarking on a magical journey. This is Qixing Mountain! 🔥 Why is Qixing Mountain so captivating? ❶ Breathtaking Cloud-top Views With its high altitude, Qixing Mountain is often shrouded in mist. Standing at the summit, you can almost touch the clouds. When sunlight pierces through the fog, the entire scenic area glows like it's edged in gold, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. During sunrise and sunset, the ever-changing colors of the sky contrast beautifully with the mountain peaks, forming picture-perfect scenes that look straight out of a postcard. ❷ Thrilling Activities Experience the adrenaline rush of the cliff swing, soaring high above the ground. Glide romantically on the "Flying Magic Carpet" as it ascends slowly, offering stunning views along the way. For those seeking a challenge, try rock climbing and conquer the peaks. Don't miss the mountain slide—zipping through the forest with the wind in your hair is exhilarating! ❸ Unique Accommodations Qixing Mountain offers distinctive lodging options like cliffside hotels. Wake up to the first rays of sunlight and step out onto your balcony to majestic mountain views. Or stay in a stargazing tent, where you can lie back and admire the dazzling night sky, feeling at one with the universe.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is incredibly vast and can be explored over four days. Unfortunately, we only had one day, so we chose to focus on the highlights of the East Gate. From the East Gate, we took the eco-friendly shuttle to "Shuirao Simen" and then transferred to the "Bailong Elevator" station (about a 15-minute ride). The elevator (¥65 one-way) is renowned as the world's tallest outdoor elevator. In just **68 seconds, it ascends straight to Yuanjiajie**, and as you emerge from the mountain, the "Gathering of Soldiers" peaks rise dramatically before your eyes—absolutely breathtaking! Once at the top, a 10-minute walk along the trail leads to "Mihuntai," the **core viewing area of Yuanjiajie**: 1. **Qiankun Column** (the prototype for Avatar's "Hallelujah Mountain")—a massive stone pillar shrouded in mist, exuding a sci-fi vibe! 2. **First Bridge Under Heaven**—a natural stone bridge connecting two peaks, with a 300-meter deep valley below. Thrilling and spectacular. 3. **Back Garden**—surrounded by unique peaks resembling a bonsai garden, offering views of Huangshizhai and Tianzi Mountain. **Tips**: - The Yuanjiajie loop takes about 2 hours to complete. At the endpoint, you can take the eco-friendly shuttle to Tianzi Mountain or Yangjiajie for further exploration. - For the return trip, you can descend via the elevator or walk to the "First Bridge Under Heaven" station to catch a shuttle to other scenic areas. (This route is compact and packed with photo-worthy spots, perfect for visitors looking to efficiently explore the highlights!)

When choosing accommodation for my Zhangjiajie trip, I immediately fell in love with Zhangjiajie Qishili Cave Homestay (National Forest Park Landmark Store). Driven by curiosity, I really wanted to explore a cave homestay. The homestay is built on a mountainside, boasting a prime location, beautiful surroundings, and close proximity to the Forest Park, within walking distance. You can imagine how wonderful the surrounding environment is, with fresh, clean air. The most fascinating part of the homestay, where you can truly experience the mystery of the cave, is the cave bar. It's a great place to enjoy tea, drinks, and bonfires. You can even have barbecues and camp on top of the cave. The homestay is fully equipped with high-quality hardware and software facilities, living up to its reputation as a five-star high-end homestay. The infinity pool, laundry room, gym, and western restaurant offer diverse experiences. Underfloor heating, central air conditioning, smart home systems, and constant temperature showers provide a comfortable stay. Details that might be overlooked elsewhere, such as L'Occitane toiletries, Dyson hair dryers, latex pillows, down duvets, DeRUCCI mattresses, and custom bathtubs, are all meticulously chosen, demonstrating the owner's dedication. The butler-style service is attentive and comprehensive, the breakfast is delicious and plentiful, and there are even gifts. Choosing this homestay was definitely the best decision of my trip.

Have you ever tried to take a cable car in the city, from buildings on both sides, all the way across the river and around high mountains. Up to an altitude of 1,500 meters. Here in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park is a 5A-level attraction in China, and every step is like looking at a landscape painting. Signature Of course, there is a hole in the middle of this mountain, which is the Tao Tianmen of Tianmen Mountain! There are many different routes to play Tianmen Mountain, and I will take you on this A line this time It is the most comfortable route, and you can take a lot of beautiful photos! First take the cable car the whole journey takes about 28 minutes Then take the west line and you will immediately see the glass canyon Then keep walking along the side of the mountain, through the Ghost Valley Canyon The view here is really beautiful, though if you are afraid of heights be prepared! After all the way to Tianmen Temple I did not choose to take the cable car up to the top of the mountain, I chose to take the east line down to Tianmen Cave~ Earlier, if I didn’t get a photo at the first glass canyon, it’s easier to get good photos at the East Line Canyon However, overall the view on the east line is not as beautiful as the west line After walking for about half an hour or so, you will reach the escalator. Take it all the way down and you will reach the entrance of Tianmen Cave To reach the entrance of the cave, here you have to walk 999 flights of stairs to the ground, if you do not want to walk then here you have to pay $ 32 to answer him escalator down #globaltravel

Zhangjiajie is already in the off-season, so I don't recommend going there in April or May, because... Zhangjiajie in April is full of greenery and flowers. The average temperature is 15-25 degrees, and the climate is pleasant. It is the most beautiful time of the year. Going to Zhangjiajie at this time not only allows you to see beautiful scenery, but also provides more cost-effective accommodation, food, and transportation, and you will have a full experience! This guide helps you organize travel preparations, attraction introductions, itinerary planning, accommodation, and food recommendations. It is recommended to like and collect it!

Ticket trap: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park tickets are valid for 4 days, but reservations must be made in advance to avoid queuing on site. Catering trap: Prices in the scenic area are high, so you can bring your own dry food or choose a restaurant at the foot of the mountain. We recommend special dishes such as Sanxiaguo and Tujia bacon. Shopping traps: There are many silver jewelry and tea shops in the scenic area. Some products are falsely priced high. You can compare prices before purchasing. Tips for playing: Book your entrance and transport tickets in advance to avoid long queues during peak season. Respect local customs, protect the environment and don't litter. Try to choose restaurants with good hygiene conditions to dine in and avoid eating expired or unclean food.
