As the saying goes,"Jiuzhaigou looks at the water, Zhangjiajie looks at the mountains." Zhangjiajie is located in the northwest of Hunan, in the hinterland of the Wuling Mountains. Zhangjiajie City, built and prospered by tourism, has amazing scenery. In the core scenic area of Wulingyuan, 3,000 stone peaks rise from the ground, and 800 winding streams. People who come to Zhangjiajie for sightseeing are all fascinated by Wulingyuan's unique sandstone peak forest landform and magnificent karst landscape. It seems to be in a fairy mountain fairyland. Therefore, Zhangjiajie has the reputation of "the original Chinese landscape painting" and "the reduced fairyland, the enlarged bonsai". The first 3D movie "Avatar" in 2010 made the beautiful scenery of Zhangjiajie, the location where the movie was set, world-renowned.

Pandora is too far away, Zhangjiajie is very close. The international blockbuster "Avatar" has long since been rolled off the production line of theaters and has gradually faded out of people's view. Zhangjiajie's three thousand peaks are still tall and straight, and the eight hundred beautiful waters are still winding. If you want to truly appreciate the secret realms of Zhangjiajie's sacred mountains, sunny days are not the best choice. Stroll through the mountains after the rain and explore the fantasy world of floating and dotted mountains in the film. The strata of Zhangjiajie City are complex and diverse, creating a unique local landscape. There are mainly mountains, karsts, hills, hills and plains. The mountainous area accounts for 76% of the total area. The most distinctive one is the quartz sandstone peak forest landform, which is rare in the world.

Best travel time: April-June and September-November are the best travel time in Zhangjiajie. In spring, when fallen flowers are colorful, go up the Jinbian River, visit the Shili Gallery, explore the Huanglong Cave, and experience the surprise of Wuling people entering the Peach Blossom Land; in autumn, Zhangjiajie has high skies and clear clouds, and the forests are dyed. This is the time for delicious fruits such as kiwis and tangerines to mature. Summer is hot and rainy, and the winter climate is cold, so the climate comfort is slightly lower than that of spring and autumn.

There are many tourist attractions in Zhangjiajie. If you want to visit the entire Zhangjiajie, it will take at least four to five days. If you are only allowed to visit Zhangjiajie once for a long time, you must first choose the most essential scenic spots. Generally, when we visit Zhangjiajie, we mainly visit Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, or Wulingyuan Scenic Area. If we have enough time, we can consider Tianmen Mountain, Huanglong Cave, Grand Canyon, Baofeng Lake and other scenic spots.

As a national historical and cultural city, Phoenix's scenery organically integrates natural and humanistic characteristics into one place. The heavy feeling after perspective may be the essence of its charm that attracts tourists from all directions. This "Ancient City of Phoenix", which was once called one of the most beautiful small cities in China by new Zealand writer Louis Alley, was built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. This "Pearl of Xiangxi" was truly "small", so small that there was only one decent East and West Street in the city, but it was a green corridor. This attraction is about 4 hours 'drive from Zhangjiajie, and it usually takes one to two days to visit.
