Zhangjiajie Forest Park (Jinbianxi, Huangshizhai, Yuanjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, Yangjiajie, Shili Gallery, etc.), Tianmen Mountain (glass plank road, 99 Daowan Panshan Highway, the world's longest cableway), Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon (the world's longest glass bridge), the night view of Fenghuang Ancient City are the most impressive.

You can arrange routes to visit these attractions according to your own needs. Generally, it takes 2 days for forest parks, 1 day for Tianmen Mountain, 1 day for Grand Canyon, and 1 day for Fenghuang Ancient City.

The following mainly introduces the tour strategies for Zhangjiajie Forest Park!!!

1. How to get to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park from Zhangjiajie City

1. Zhangjiajie Central Bus Station (very close to Zhangjiajie Railway Station): When you enter the station, go through the security check and go to the first gate on the left. Go along the left side of the service road. There are three stop signs: Wulingyuan, Forest Park, and Tianzi Mountain. These three are the three gates of Zhangjiajie Forest Park, and you can reach them. The fares are 12, 12, and 15 yuan respectively. The ride time is 45 minutes, 40 minutes, 90 minutes. Among them, for those going to Wulingyuan, you have to change to buses No. 1 and No. 2 at Wulingyuan Station to reach the ticket station. You can also choose to walk. The Wulingyuan Ticket Station is very close to the Wulingyuan Central Bus Station; 100 meters in front of the direct ticket to Forest Park. Parking lot. The direct ticket station to Tianzi Mountain in the direction of Tianzi Mountain. (The Tianzi Mountain ticket station is the farthest, but it is convenient to enter the mountains and play. The most important thing is that there is no need to spend an additional 139 yuan to take the elevator cableway. Very economical. However, due to inconvenient food and accommodation, few people now choose to enter and exit from Tianzi Mountain.)

2. Zhangjiajie West Railway Station (High-speed Railway Station): There is a direct bus to each gate of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, which takes about 40-50 minutes.

The special bus from Wulingyuan Bus Station → Forest Park Ticket Station: It runs every 25 minutes, the fare is 10 yuan, the journey is 30 minutes, and the running time is 6:30-17:30 a.m. The walking distance from Wulingyuan Bus Station → Sign Gate Ticket Station is 1.2 kilometers. You can take Wulingyuan Road 1 and walk more than 300 meters after getting off the bus.

2. How many entrances (ticket stations) are there in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

There are currently 5 main ticket stations in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, namely: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park Ticket Station, Tianzishan Ticket Station, Wulingyuan Ticket Station, Yangjiajie Ticket Station, and Shuirao Simen Ticket Station. Tourists often enter and exit the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park Ticket Station, Shuirao Simen Ticket Station, and Wulingyuan Ticket Station. Most tourists choose to enter the scenic spot from the Forest Park Ticket Station and the Wulingyuan Sign Gate Ticket Station. Personally, I recommend that the Wulinyuan ticket station is the most convenient. In addition, tickets for Zhangjiajie National Forest Park are now valid for four days, and you can freely enter and exit each ticket station in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park within four days.

3. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is so big, how to arrange it so that there can be no regrets

The most popular attractions in Zhangjiajie Forest Park are Yangjiajie, Yuanjiajie, Tianzi Mountain on the mountain, and Jinbian River at the foot of the mountain.

Tianzi Mountain is spectacular, like a Chinese ink painting. The Yuan family is exquisite, like a private garden with bonsai everywhere. The Yangjiajie is magnificent and shocking. Although Tianzi Mountain and Yuanjiajie are the main attractions, after seeing Yangjiajie, it feels like "except Wushan Mountain is not a cloud". It may be that the main attractions of Tianzi Mountain and Yuanjiajie can basically be enjoyed by using cableway, while the main attractions of Yangjiajie: Wu Lang Buddha worship, climbing to the sky in one step, air corridor, etc. can only be reached on foot. Even if you take cableway to Yangjiajie. Standing on the cableway, it takes 3 hours to visit the attractions of Yangjiajie on foot, so many people will choose to give up. Beautiful scenery is not something that everyone can see. Beautiful scenery will test your courage and strength.

At present, the Yangjiajie Scenic Area mainly includes: Wu Lang worshiping Buddha, climbing to the sky in one step, and air corridors. Other Wulong Village and Tianbo Prefecture are not open. We had the honor to watch it all through the "drones" of our fellow travelers.

(1) Zhangjiajie National Forest Park launches the first two-day classic tour guide:

Day1: Wulingyuan Tickets Stand in--Shili Gallery--Tianzi Mountain--Yangjiajie--Yuanjiajie--Jinbianxi---Wulingyuan Tickets Stand Out
Choose to stay at the inn at the sign gate of Wulingyuan (recommended destination Humanities Inn). Transportation, dining, and entry and exit of the forest park are very convenient.
Enter from the Wulingyuan Ticket Station, take an eco-friendly car in the scenic area to visit Shili Gallery for 30 minutes. Take an eco-friendly car to the lower station of Tianzi Mountain Cableway and take the cableway to Tianzi Mountain to visit Helong Park attractions: Tianzi Pavilion, Warrior Horse Training, Helong Bronze Statue, Fairy laying flowers, Yubi Peak, etc.(1-1.5 hours). If you have time, you can take an eco-friendly car to Diantai to visit the scenic spots and gather with soldiers or directly take an eco-friendly car from Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area to Yangjiajie Scenic Area.

Yangjiajie Scenic Area: There are 2 main tourist routes: the short route is to Wulongzhai and Tianbo Prefecture. The one-way trip is about 2.5km, and the round trip is 1-2 hours (this route is now under maintenance and has been closed). The long line is to go to the sky in one step and in the direction of the air corridor. It is at least 6-8 kilometers one way, and the round trip exceeds 3 hours. The attractions in Yangjiajie are very worth seeing, but they are quite physical. The beautiful scenery is not something everyone can see. Then take the scenic eco-vehicle from Yangjiajie Cableway Station to Yuanjiajie Scenic Area.

Yuanjiajie Scenic Area: The main attractions include Yuanjiajie Ecstasy Platform, the World's No. 1 Bridge, Qiankun Pillar (suspended mountain in Internet celebrity's "Avatar"), back garden, etc. The tour takes about 1 hour, and then hike down the mountain along the Kuan Slope (about 1 hour) or choose to take the Bailong Elevator down the mountain to visit Jinbian River. Follow the front line of Jinbian River to Shuihuan Simen, where you can see the lovely wild monkeys (40 minutes to 1 hour). Jinbianxi can be said to be a paradise for children. Finally, take an eco-friendly vehicle out of the scenic spot at Shuiwaosimen.

Day2: Forest Park Gate--Huangshi Village--Jinbianxi--Wulingyuan Sign Gate

If you live near Wulingyuan Sign Gate, you can walk about 15 minutes to the center of Wulingyuan Sign Gate, take a special bus to the entrance of the Forest Park Gate and enter the scenic spot. Walk to Huangshizhai via Dayang Bar Square, and hike up the mountain for about 1-1.5 hours. Depending on your physical strength, you can also go to the Yuanjiajie Cableway Station and take the cableway up the mountain. Visit Huangshizhai for 2 hours, then hike down the mountain for about 1 hour, and then follow the Jinbian River Hiking. Note: You can only build an eco-friendly vehicle by walking Jinbian River from Dayang Bar Square for 3 hours to Shuihuan Simen. You cannot ride an eco-friendly vehicle in the middle, so you can choose to visit a section of Jinbian River based on your physical strength and then turn back. Finally, take an eco-friendly vehicle at Shuihuan Simen and exit the scenic area from the Wulingyuan Sign Gate, or turn back halfway to Jinbian River and exit the scenic area from the Forest Park Gate.

This two-day trip will basically visit all the main attractions of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. It is highly recommended!

If you have enough time and want to play in the Forest Park for three days, you can also make the following arrangements. We spent three days in Forest Park.

(2) Tips for a three-day tour of Zhangjiajie Forest Park

Day1: Forest Park Gate--Huangshi Village--Jinbian Creek--Wulingyuan Sign Gate
Choose to stay at the inn at the sign gate of Wulingyuan (recommended destination Humanities Inn). It is very convenient for transportation, catering, and access to the forest park.

Enter the gate of the Forest Park → go to Huangshizhai via the Da Oxygen Bar Square and visit Huangshizhai for 3 hours (Huangshizhai cableway or hike up and down, 1h on foot, 1h on foot, 1h on foot) → Then return to the Da Oxygen Bar Square and walk Jinbian Creek for 3 hours → to the water around the four gates. Take an environmentally friendly car to the Wulingyuan sign gate and leave the scenic area.

1. Huangshizhai (facing the same peak forest across the Yuan family boundary, and the two view the same peak forest from different angles), the entrance is near the entrance of Zhangjiajie Forest Park and there is a cableway before the beginning of Jinbian River;

2. Jinbianxi (Forest Park Ticket Station)

a It takes about half an hour for the essence of Jinbian River to reach the mountain to save the mother (Zhangjiajie Forest Park Gate-Jinbian River-Yangjiajie Cableway--Wulong Village)
b The first half of the Jinbian River tour takes about one and a half hours and is about 4 kilometers long (the gate of Zhangjiajie Forest Park-a thousand-mile meeting tour (hiking to Yuanjia boundary)) There is no turning back throughout the journey, and there are not many basic horizontal steps.
Day2: Wulingyuan Sign Gate--Yangjiajie--Yuanjiajie--Wulingyuan Sign Gate
Enter the Wulingyuan sign gate, take an eco-friendly vehicle to the next station of the Bailong Ladder, and take the Bailong Ladder up the mountain to the Yuanjiajie Ecstasy Platform. (It is recommended to get up early to queue. The queue for eco-friendly vehicles on this line is very long every day, and the queue for Bailong Tiantian is also long. Going early can reduce the queuing time). It only takes 66 seconds to build the Bailong elevator, and the ticket price is 65 yuan. You can also choose to climb the mountain on foot. You can walk from Shuihuan Simen along the Jinbian River for 30-40 minutes to Kuanpo. You can climb from Kuanpo to Yuanjiajie Ecstasy Terrace in about 1-1.5 hours. The steps are not so steep. If you have enough physical strength, you can choose to hike.
But! After arriving at Chizhuo Terrace, instead of playing Yuanjiajie first, you will walk for 5 minutes to Tianxia First Bridge Station, take a bus to the Yangjiajie Parking Lot, and play Yangjiajie first. (Because after all kinds of queues, it will be eight or nine o'clock at the earliest after arriving at the Yuanjiayjie. By this time, it has entered the peak of tourist groups. There are many people and the tour experience is not good)
Bailong Tianti Mountain → Yuanjiajie Ecstasy Platform → 5 minutes walk to Tianxia First Bridge Station → Take a bus to Yangjiajie Wulongzhai Parking Lot and play Yangjiajie first.
There are two main tourist routes in Yangjiajie: the short-term is to Wulongzhai and Tianbo Prefecture. The one-way trip is about 2.5km, and the round trip is 1-2 hours (this route is now under maintenance and has been closed). The long line is to go to the sky in one step and in the direction of the air corridor. It is at least 6-8 kilometers one way, and the round trip exceeds 3 hours. It depends on time and physical strength to decide whether to follow 1 line or 2 lines.
If you take both routes in Yangjiajie, plus lunch and rest time, it will usually be three or four o'clock in the afternoon after you finish the swim. At this time, we will go to the Wulongzhai Parking Lot and take a bus back to Yuanjiajie to visit the World's First Bridge, Qiankun Pillar (the suspended mountain in Internet celebrity "Avatar"), Ecstasy Platform, and the back garden. At this time, the tour group has basically dispersed, there will be not too many people, the tour experience is very good, and photos will be taken casually.
After visiting the Yuanjia boundary, take the Hundred Dragons Stairs or hike down the mountain (1 hour is enough to walk down the mountain). Take an eco-friendly car to the Wulingyuan sign gate and leave the scenic area.
Day3: Wulingyuan sign door entry--Laowuchang--Daguan Terrace--Shentangwan, Dianjiangtai--Tianzi Mountain--Shili Gallery--Wulingyuan sign door exit

From Wulingyuan Sign Gate to make a scenic area eco-friendly vehicle to make a cableway up the mountain at the Tianzishan Cableway Station (hiking: take an eco-friendly vehicle to Shili Gallery, walk Shili Gallery for 30 minutes, walk Wolongling for 2-2.5 hours) to Helong Park, and don't play first when you arrive in Helong Park. Go to Sanchakou by car. There is a sightseeing station next to it (ticket price is 50 yuan per person). You can take a bus to Laowuchang to visit the sky countryside and Shenshen Party. About 2 hours.

Sanchakou → Laowuchang, visit the sky countryside, and the Shensoldiers gathering → return to Sanchakou. Sanchakou → Walk 300 meters in the direction of Tianzi Mountain and visit attractions such as Daguan Terrace and Hard to Walk, about 2 hours → Go back to the main road, take an eco-friendly car, get off at Shentangwan, and visit Shentangwan and Dianjiangtai, about 30 minutes. (I think the language of these scenic spots is average)

Continue by car/hiking to Helong Park and visit scenic spots such as Helong Bronze Statue, Xihai Peak, Yubi Peak, Tianzi Pavilion, Warrior Horse Training and other attractions. Go down the mountain from Nantianmen Gate and Wolongling, walk Shili Gallery, and take an environmentally friendly car at Shili Gallery Station. Go to Wulingyuan Sign Gate and leave the scenic area.
Tip: There are nearly 6000 steps down the mountain in Wolong Ridge, which takes 2-3 hours. Depending on the time and physical conditions, you can walk or take a cableway down the mountain. Shili Gallery is about 30 minutes each way. If you don't want to walk, you can also take a small train and the tour takes a few minutes.

The recommended tour time is 4-5 hours. There is a storage service near the scenic spot ticket, which is very good.

3. There are several different ways to visit Tianzishan Forest Park (different tickets can be selected)

(1) Double cableways

Tourists on Line A take the cableway up the mountain. After visiting the top of the mountain, take the elevator through the mountain to Tianmen Cave. After visiting Tianmen Cave, take the bus back to the urban cableway station;

Tourists on Line B take the free shuttle bus from the urban cableway station to the gate of Tianmen Mountain, then transfer to the scenic area environmental protection bus to Tianmen Cave, take the mountain crossing elevator to the top of the mountain, and then take the cableway back to the urban cableway station.

Passengers on Line C take the free shuttle bus from the urban cableway station to the gate of Tianmen Mountain, and then transfer to the scenic area environmental protection bus to Tianmen Cave. After touring the mountain, they then go down the mountain escalator to Tianmen Cave and transfer to the scenic area bus and return to the cableway station.

The three ABC tour routes are all double cableways, with the same ticket and the same price. Tourists can choose voluntarily.

(2) Single cableway

Lines 1 and 2 are single cableways, that is, section 10- ② of the ABC line has been changed from a cableway to a mountain road with cars taking 99 turns.

Personally recommend the B line with the double cableway.

4. Main items of the tour

Arriving at the cableway station through different routes (depending on the ticket selected), you will see the signs of the east and west lines of the capital. You can choose from east to west or west to east. However, if you only choose one east-west route, it is recommended to take the western route, which includes all the essence of the western route of Tianzi climbing the mountain. After walking the west line, you can choose to take the aerial sightseeing cable car (25 yuan per person) to reach the cableway station in the middle section.

It is recommended to choose Line B for sightseeing!!!

Note: Line B has to queue up when going down the mountain by cableway, which is very time-consuming (Line A has a long queue up the mountain). It takes at least 1-2 hours during the peak season. So be sure to keep in mind: before standing on the cableway and touring the East-West Line, you must first pick up your number and make an appointment for the cableway descent down the mountain. You won't have to wait so long when you go down the mountain. If you control the time well, you can schedule it in half an hour.

This is the point!!! This is the point!!! This is the point!!!
