Zhangjiajie is located in the northwest of Hunan Province, at the intersection of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau uplift and the Dongting Lake subsidence area. The strata are complex and diverse, and the rivers are crisscross, creating a characteristic landscape with peaks and forests and dense river valleys. Zhangjiajie was established due to tourism and is a key tourist city in China. It has some of the best wonders and beautiful facilities in the world and attracts tourists from all over the world. So, I made this Zhangjiajie tourism guide with great enthusiasm.

How to get to Zhangjiajie? As a famous tourist city, Zhangjiajie has very convenient transportation.

Aircraft: Zhangjiajie Hehua Airport has many routes, and flights from more than 20 cities to Zhangjiajie have been opened! It is the most convenient way for tourists from far away to visit Zhangjiajie. There is an airport bus, which takes you from the airport to the business district and bus station.

Bus: Zhangjiajie Central Bus Station is located in Guanliping, Zhangjiajie, adjacent to the Railway Station and Tianmenshan Cableway Company. If you depart from the province, taking a bus is a very convenient way. The bus station also has a special tourist line to Wulingyuan Scenic Area for passengers to take. There are two lines: Tourist Line A, which passes through the urban bus station, Yuyuan Tunnel, and Zhangjiajie National Forest Park Ticket Station, with a ticket price of 11 yuan; Tourist Line B, which passes through the urban bus station, Laomuyu Tunnel, Suoxiyu Town, Wulingyuan Suoxiyu Jundiping Town, the ticket price is 12 yuan. They all travel every 10 minutes and take about 40 minutes.

Train: Zhangjiajie Railway Station is located in Guanliping, Zhangjiajie City. It has opened direct passenger trains with many large and medium-sized cities in China. Taking a train to Zhangjiajie is one of the most common and affordable ways, so there are many lawless elements who call themselves receptionists from travel agencies or hotels who will chat up tourists when they are near Zhangjiajie, distribute various travel price lists, and solicit people to advertise, one after another, persist and annoying, but these are all traps! People! Yes! So don't be persuaded by them,'No, no, please leave''and insist on rejecting the third company. We must treat all those who spontaneously come forward to promote it coldly! Keep your face straight, it's super fierce!

It should be noted that airport taxis can rob passengers, so you must be cautious when choosing a taxi. It is best to contact the local tour guide in advance to negotiate and negotiate the price.

Go to Zhangjiajie for a tour or a free trip? Whether you come to Zhangjiajie to play with a group or self-help, you have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Group follower: Group follower can easily solve the problem of accommodation and meals and avoid getting lost or being slaughtered. However, many tour groups will not go to scenic spots that are too far and dangerous due to safety and cost issues. These attractions are often the essence of Zhangjiajie. It's a pity.

Backpack travel: Although backpack travel has a much higher degree of freedom, it is not familiar with the place and easy to be slaughtered. Moreover, the routes in the Zhangjiajie Scenic Area are complex, and you will get lost if you are not careful. Especially for people like me who are road nuts, they tremble when they see the map, let alone pick out a sightseeing route on a complex scenic map. So if we want to be free, we should do some homework seriously first, investigate the price in advance, and not look ignorant after being cheated. That would be too miserable!

The best way is of course to find a local guide. The biggest role of a local guide is to lead the way and prevent slaughter. Human navigation is so great that I am no longer afraid of getting lost! We determine the place we want to go and communicate with the tour guide and let him make arrangements. However, it should be noted that local tour guides are also mixed, so you must choose guides with good reputation; don't blindly rely on tour guides, as tour guides may try to belittle places you don't want to go, so you still need to understand the basic situation of the scenic spot and don't be led by others. Go by the nose!

Should we stay in a scenic area or an urban area when we go to Zhangjiajie? The urban conditions are good and the scenic scenery is wonderful. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and you can choose.

Urban area: If we want to live in the urban area, we can choose to live near the railway station and the bus station. The transportation is convenient and the living is good. Consumption is cheaper than the scenic spots and it is also lively. It is also very convenient to visit Tianmen Mountain, Tujia Style Garden, Tianmen Fox Fairy and other scenic spots. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to walk and 6 yuan to take a taxi to the pedestrian street. It takes less than ten minutes to walk from the railway station and bus station to Tianmenshan Cableway Station. From Tianmenshan Cableway Station, you can take a bus to the Wulingyuan Core Scenic Area, Forest Park, and Tianzishan Town Ticket Station. The journey takes only 30-40 minutes. Bus time: 6:30--7: 00, every 20 minutes. The disadvantage of living in the urban area is that you have to travel back and forth, and you will be more tired if you queue up repeatedly, but you can eat cheaply, which is still a good deal.

Scenic Area: Although the conditions of the farmhouse inn in the scenic area are not as good as the hotels outside the scenic area, the scenery is beautiful! Embracing the mountains, insects and birds contend, and the environment is super beautiful! Living on the mountain can also save a lot of time and avoid going back and forth to the scenic spot (Zhangjiajie tickets are valid for 3 days, but if you live in the scenic spot, it doesn't matter how long you want to stay because there is no ticket check). While they lived outside were still struggling to drive the bus and queue up to check in, we lived in the scenic area were already enjoying the singing of birds in the sky and the magnificent scenery of the sunrise! A sense of pride arose spontaneously. Worried that your luggage would be difficult to carry? This is not a problem! There is a luggage check-in service between the train station and accommodation in the scenic area in the Zhangjiajie Scenic Area. We can go to the check-in point near the train station and check our luggage to the hotel where we are about to stay, and vice versa, so we don't have to worry about carrying big luggage. Climbing the stairs. Of course, before shipping, you must confirm with the accommodation owner whether there is this service to facilitate shipping and collection. The disadvantage of living in a scenic area is that the accommodation conditions are not as good as those in the urban area, and sometimes there is no hot water! There are many mosquitoes, but food is expensive! But thinking about being able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Zhangjiajie anytime and anywhere is not a problem!

How many days is appropriate to spend in Zhangjiajie? Generally recommended for 2 to 4 days, so what exactly should I play?

Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan Core Scenic Area: It includes Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Huangshizhai, Yuanjiazhai, Yangjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, and Shili Gallery. It is a must-see attraction to visit Zhangjiajie. The ticket price is 248 yuan and the tour takes about 2 days.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is amazed by its peaks, its valleys show its tranquility, and its forests show its beauty. Among them, there are more than 3000 strange peaks with different postures, which are spectacular and have the reputation of 'Three Thousand Strange Peaks and Eight Hundred Beautiful Waters'. Among them are Huangshi Village, which overlooks the park and has thousands of peaks and valleys in its eyes; Jinbian Creek, which is a scenery in three steps and is amazing in five steps; and Yuanjiajie, where Avatar is filmed, and other scenic spots with infinite scenery.

There are 110 scenic spots in Yangjiajie, including the Hundred Monkey Valley, where macaques and egrets are infested; the Cliff Vine King, which is praised as the number one vine in China; the strange five-color flowers in the upper reaches of Liucui River; the Longquan Waterfall hanging high on cliffs and flying beads and splashing jade; There are countless magnificent stone walls that are considered to be the ruins of Tianbo Prefecture. Visiting by cableway makes it even more magnificent.

Tianzi Mountain is extremely dangerous and deep. It is famous for its wonders of the stone forest and is known as the king of the peak forest. Among them, Dianjiangtai, Xianren Bridge, Shenshenjuhui, Yubi Peak, etc. are even more vivid and powerful.

The Shili Gallery is 5 kilometers long, with lush forests and flowers blooming on both sides of the canyon. The strange peaks and rocks are in various shapes, like a huge picture of mountains and rivers, hanging side by side on the cliff, making the beautiful natural wonders melt into the ink and painting of the immortal master painter. Along the way, there are also scenic spots such as the revolving attic, the birthday star welcomes guests, the elderly herb picking, the couple's children, and the Three Sisters Peak. They are dazzling and dazzling.

Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park: Including glass plank road, Tianmen Cave, Guigu plank road, etc. Admission is 228 yuan, including round-trip cableway fees. The tour takes about 7 hours in total.

Tianmen Mountain combines peaks, stones, springs, streams, clouds and forests, integrating majestic, strange, beautiful, dangerous and secluded. It is known as the primitive garden in the sky and the soul of Wuling. Tianmen Mountain Cableway is the longest cableway in Asia. By taking the Tianmen Mountain Cableway, we can visit many famous attractions such as Guantimen Cave, the highway wonders of the 99-bend, Ghost Valley Plank Road, Yunmeng Xianding, and Glass Plank Road.

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge: Including the Grand Canyon, Yuntiandu Glass Bridge, etc. The ticket price is 219 yuan, which lasts about 7 hours.

When you come to Zhangjiajie, how can you not come to Yuntiandu Glass Bridge to try your courage? This landscape bridge is the world's first cable-stayed alpine canyon glass bridge and has set many Guinness World Records. It has functions such as pedestrian traffic, sightseeing, bungee jumping, and zip ropes in the scenic area. Below is a 300-meter-deep canyon. Tourists walking on it are all trembling and their hearts are racing. But as long as you overcome your fear and stand on the bridge, you can see everything shrouded in clouds and clouds, surrounded by peaks and forests, and have a panoramic view of the infinite scenery. It is so beautiful that people will forget their fear of heights.

There are many streams and springs in the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, which fly across the gorge. There are not only beautiful natural scenery in the valley, such as a line of sky, cracks in stone walls, singing women and husbands, and thousand-year-old vines. There are also historical and cultural landscapes such as the ancient battlefield of Qianren Tomb, which records the decisive battle between Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui, the bandit cave that reflects the historical characteristics of Xiangxi, and the southern Hongqi Canal where the people of Xiangxi relied on heaven to dig among the cliffs in the early days of liberation. The Grand Canyon is narrow and bumpy, and the tour takes about 2 hours. We still have to choose the tour method based on our physical conditions.

Zhangjiajie cuisine

Food is the most important thing for the people. What special delicacies in Zhangjiajie should not be missed?

Consumption in Zhangjiajie Scenic Area is very expensive, so if we want to eat freely, we should choose to return to the city. There are many types of Tujia cuisine in Zhangjiajie, but they have one common feature, which is spicy food. Tujia people also especially love cured, sour and pickled vegetables. The Tujia cured vegetable series includes cured pork, cured mutton, etc.; the hot and sour vegetable series includes sour wild rice, sour vegetables, etc.; the Tujia family series includes hash residue, pumpkin soup, etc.; the pickled vegetables include cured meat, pickled fish, pickled peppers, etc.; The wild vegetables include rice vegetables, kudzu powder, etc., with different flavors, which may not all suit our tastes, but they are all very unique. Anyone who dares to try it can try it.

April and October every year are the most beautiful times in Zhangjiajie. In the spring of April, the grass grows, and the orioles fly along the Jinbian River, visit the Shili Gallery, and explore the Huanglong Cave. You can experience the surprise of Wuling people entering the Peach Blossom Land; in the golden autumn of October, the forest of Zhangjiajie is completely dyed, and it is the time when fruits such as kiwis and tangerines are ripe. It is a leisurely Nanshan scene. However, various consumer prices in Zhangjiajie during peak tourist seasons such as summer vacations and holidays will also rise, making transportation and accommodation inconvenient.

The following are special notes, you must read it!

Although Zhangjiajie is already a mature tourist attraction, the mountain roads are steep, so you still need to be prepared for outdoor sports. Try to wear sports shoes and hiking shoes, especially in rainy and snowy weather. Try not to climb mountains to prevent accidents. If you must go up the mountain, you must also prepare rain-proof and anti-slip items, and don't joke about your health. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is a special fire prevention area. Smoking, picnics, and bonfires are strictly prohibited. Smoking must be carried out at designated smoking places. Visit the scenic spot according to the signs and don't go deep into the forest at will. The protagonists of court-seeking expeditions in horror movies are a lesson from the past!

Are you very tempted? The guides are all done, what are you waiting for?

Zhangjiajie, which has always been known for its rich tourism resources, has very trivial matters to pay attention to. I will only combine my many years of experience living there to give you some practical information, hoping to help you on your travel; if there are any questions you don't understand, you can consult me.
