Zhangjiajie belongs to a prefecture-level city in Hunan Province, located in the northwest of Hunan and in the middle and upper reaches of the Lishui River. Formerly known as Dayong City, it includes Yongding District and Wulingyuan District, as well as Cili County and Sangzhi County. Zhangjiajie was established due to tourism and is one of the most important tourist cities in China. Zhangjiajie's strata are complex and diverse, mainly including karsts, mountains, hills, plains, etc. The mountainous area accounts for 76% of the total area. The most distinctive feature is the quartz sandstone peak forest landform.

[Travel Time]

The Wulingyuan Scenic Area is in the mountains. The weather here is very unpredictable, especially in extra seasons. The weather changes as it says. It is very likely that when you go up the mountain, you will find it foggy and you can't see anything. Therefore, when you come here to play, you must first arrange the time, and then you must depend on your luck. The biggest feature of Wulingyuan's attractions is that the scenery you can see at the same attraction at different times is completely different. In the morning, dusk, morning, afternoon, sunny day, rainy day, and foggy day, the feeling of the same place is very different. Even at the same time, the same place will form completely different attractions.

Although Zhangjiajie has different peerless scenery all year round, for ordinary tourists, summer is too hot and winter is too cold. The most suitable seasons for traveling are spring and autumn. These two seasons are the most beautiful seasons. Spring is full of spring, everything comes back to life, and a hundred flowers bloom. It is a good time for spring outing, but early spring is still chilly; autumn is the harvest season, with fruits everywhere, red leaves like fire, and the fragrance of fruits floating everywhere is a good time for autumn outing.

The hottest time of summer falls during the summer vacation. You can also bring your children to Zhangjiajie at this time. As long as you avoid the hottest days or avoid the noon sun, the mountains will still be very cool in the morning and evening. Of course, friends who like snow scenery can also go to Zhangjiajie in winter. This is the off-season and food and accommodation are particularly cheap.

[Zhangjiajie Travel Notes]

1. Wear casual and comfortable clothes, hiking shoes or non-slip sneakers. Girls must never wear skirts and high heels. You will want to die when climbing mountains.

2. Bring water and a small amount of food (beef jerky, chocolate, fruit are top choices) to replenish your strength in time.

3. From the luggage storage office of Zhangjiajie Bus Station (on the left hand side of the bus station where you pass the security check), you can check your luggage directly to the Hilltop Inn. When you go down the mountain, you can also check your luggage from the inn. Small luggage is 20 yuan/piece per trip. Remember to pack it lightly.

4. During the tourist season, try not to take the cable car up and down the mountain. The capacity of the Bailong Stairway and Tianzi Mountain cableway is 2000 people/hour and 3600 people/hour respectively, and the queue must be at least 1-2 hours.

5. Remember to bring your student ID card (the original ticket price is 228 yuan for students, the discount price is 126 yuan), toiletries (now all 7 small pieces are used for a fee),

It is located 10 kilometers south of Zhangjiajie City. In 263 AD, due to the collapse of the mountain wall, a hole in the upper part of the mountain was opened, connecting the north and south. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Xiu, King of Wu, thought it auspicious and named it "Tianmen Mountain". Tianmen Cave is located on a cliff with an altitude of more than 1260 meters. The door opening is 131.5 meters high, 57 meters wide and more than 60 meters deep. According to geological experts, the central part of the cave entrance is the intersection of the east and west rock layers. Due to extrusion, the rock broke and collapsed, and the cave entrance was finally formed in 263. Tianmen Mountain is 1,517.9 meters above sea level. Due to the relative height difference from the urban area at the foot of the mountain, it is particularly majestic and straight. The beauty of its skyline is a typical example of a mountain. Main attractions (Tianmen Mountain Cableway, Ghost Valley Plank Road, Glass Plank Road, Tongtian Avenue, Tianmen Cave). It takes 5-6 hours to play.
