Where to go for May Day? You only live once.

💕 Zhangjiajie National Forest Park May Day Travel Guide 📍 Main Attractions: 1. Yuanjiajie (Avatar filming location) - Must-sees: Lost Souls Platform, Qiankun Pillar (the inspiration for the floating Hallelujah Mountains), and the First Bridge Under Heaven 2. Tianzi Mountain - Must-sees: Imperial Brush Peak, Fairy Scattering Flowers, and Helong Park 3. Golden Whip Stream (hiking canyon) - Suitable for families with children, many monkeys along the way (don't carry plastic bags) 4. Huangshi Village ("A trip to Zhangjiajie is incomplete without visiting Huangshi Village") - Circular viewing platform, accessible by cable car 💕🚌 Transportation - Inside the scenic area: Free shuttle buses (included in the ticket price), cable cars/Bailong Elevator require separate tickets - May Day suggestion: Enter the park at 6:30 am to avoid peak crowds 🎫 Tickets - Admission: CNY 228 (valid for 4 days, including shuttle bus) - Must-buy add-ons: - Bailong Elevator one-way: CNY 65 (saves climbing time) - Tianzi Mountain cable car one-way: CNY 72 💕 Recommended Itinerary (1-2 days) - Day 1 (mountaintop tour): Wulingyuan Entrance → Bailong Elevator → Yuanjiajie → Yangjiajie → Tianzi Mountain → Cable car down the mountain - Day 2 (valley tour): Golden Whip Stream hike → Huangshi Village → Big Oxygen Bar Square ⚠️ May Day Precautions 1. Get up early! Long queues after 7 am, especially for the Bailong Elevator. 2. Bring cash: Poor mobile signal in the mountains, useful for buying water/snacks. 3. Monkey-proofing strategy: Hide food in your bag, don't open your bag in front of them. 4. Clothing: Large temperature difference in May, bring a light jacket + non-slip shoes (it may rain). 💕🏨 Accommodation Recommendations - Convenient for sightseeing: Near the Wulingyuan landmark gate (many hotels, convenient dining) - Budget-friendly: Near the forest park entrance (but transportation is a bit inconvenient) 💕🍜 Food - Sanxia Guo, Tujia bacon, rock ear mushroom stewed chicken (expensive inside the scenic area, it is recommended to eat at the foot of the mountain) 💡 Tip: Long queues during May Day, prioritize Yuanjiajie + Tianzi Mountain, visit Golden Whip Stream in the afternoon to avoid crowds!
