Zhangjiajie lightning protection advice

Recommendation 1: When taking a car to Tianmen Mountain 99 Daowan, try not to look at your mobile phone, which will cause motion sickness.

Recommendation 2: Don't casually take photos with people wearing national costumes or ancient costumes in the ancient city of Fenghuang. Many of them require a fee. If you want to take pictures, you must understand them first.

Recommendation 3: The forest park has five entrances. The scenic area is very large, generally starting from Wuling.

Enter at the source ticket station and exit at the entrance of Forest Park without having to turn back

Recommendation 4: Never accept incense from others when you enter the temple, because there is a charge for it.

Recommendation 5: The weather in Zhangjiajie changes rapidly. It rains sometimes and the sun shines sometimes. You need to prepare a sunny umbrella

Recommendation 6: Don't trust maps completely. Maps may take you around. Better to ask locals

Recommendation 7: There are many snack bars in the forest park where things are very expensive. It is recommended to bring your own snacks and water to replenish energy during rest

Recommendation 8: The lighting sensor lights in Huanglong Cave often go on and off. Don't worry when the lights go off

Recommendation 9: It is best to book tickets for Tianmen Mountain 3 days in advance, or one week in advance during peak season

Recommendation 10: If you arrive in the forest park in the afternoon, don't enter the scenic area. The scenic area is very big and you don't have time to complete it. It is recommended to go in the morning.

Recommendation 11: Don't choose a special time to go to Huanglong Cave. The caves in the world are roughly similar, so there is no need to make a special trip if you are in a hurry.

Recommendation 12: Shili Gallery recommends taking a small train to the finish line. There will be a guide on the way, and walking out when you reach the finish line.

Recommendation 13:[Tianmen Mountain Cableway] Be sure to watch the guide map and don't go down the mountain until you have finished shopping. If you want to go back, you have to buy a new ticket

Recommendation 14: There are many sellers of jewelry and clothing in the ancient city. Remember to shop around

Recommendation 15: It is most convenient to visit Tianmen Mountain by buying a B-line ticket. The bus goes up the mountain and the cable car goes down the mountain

Recommendation 16: The monkeys in Jinbianxi are very fierce and greedy. Don't tease him

Recommendation 17: Don't forget to bring a charging treasure. There is almost no street electricity in the scenic area, and it is difficult to repay it.

Recommendation 18: Don't choose to take a taxi for the entire trip. In fact, most scenic spots have direct special buses, so taking a taxi will be too expensive

Recommendation 19: You must book tickets in advance before going to the Glass Bridge Grand Canyon. You may not be able to buy them on site, and you may have to wait in line. If you encounter scalpers selling tickets, ignore them

Recommendation 20: Try not to go alone. The mountain environment is complex and the weather is changeable. It is safer to travel together or with a local group.

Recommendation 21: Don't trust maps completely. Maps may take you around. Better to ask locals

Recommendation 22: You can buy a separate ticket for the Glass Bridge. There are also joint tickets for the Grand Canyon Glass Bridge. Be sure to read it clearly before buying. If you just want to play the Glass Bridge, it is not recommended to buy a joint ticket.

Recommendation 23: Charming Xiangxi has at least 3 performances a day like the peak season. If you want to go and see the earliest and latest performances recommended, there are relatively few people. Many scalpers buy tickets. It is recommended to go through formal channels to be much cheaper.

Recommendation 24: Don't book just by looking at those beautiful B & Bs on the Internet. Many B & Bs write how far they are from a certain scenic spot. They all write straight distances. You should check the actual distance clearly

Recommendation 25: There are many accommodation options in Zhangjiajie City. Don't pay attention to hotels with street soliciting people. The prices are expensive and the accommodation environment is really dirty and messy.

Recommendation 26: Don't just take the eco-friendly vehicles in the scenic area. You need to first understand that large eco-friendly vehicles travel between the scenic area and the cable car, while small eco-friendly vehicles travel between various attractions in the scenic area.

Recommendation 27: Zhangjiajie's diet is sour and spicy. Don't miss it for friends who like spicy food. Tell them in advance if the taste is light.

Recommended restaurant: [Yehua Xiangxiang Restaurant]

The most popular restaurant recommended by locals is indeed good. The store is not a big restaurant, but the food and taste are deeply liked by locals and tourists. Every dish is cooked in sufficient quantity and the price is affordable. Parking here is actually free. The boss has good services and the restaurant is simply decorated, but it is clean and tidy, giving people a very comfortable feeling. I recommend his specialty delicacies: Sanxia pot, stone pot fish, braised pork, bandit chicken, etc.
