Wulingyuan District Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

China's first national forest park

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is the first national forest park in China, and it is a World Natural Heritage site. It features a quartz sandstone peak forest landform, also known as the Zhangjiajie landform, which is the only landform in the world named after a region. Many famous people have visited Zhangjiajie and left inscriptions as a memento. Entering Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is like stepping into a true world geological park! As you enter the forest park, you are greeted by a forest of peculiar peaks, with exquisitely shaped and lively mountains coming into view. The landscape is unparalleled in the world, with no trace of human sculpting, truly a marvel of nature's craftsmanship. The world's number one natural stone bridge spans between two mountains, the Hallelujah Mountains in 'Avatar' stand tall and erect, the beauty of the peaks and valleys of Huangshi Village, the staggered mountains, such as the 'Little Waist', the portrait on the hundred-yuan bill, the God-coming Peak, the Star-picking Platform, all seem to bear some resemblance. Strolling along the wooden walkway of Jinbian Stream, the sunlight filters through the lush forest, weaving through the peaks and quiet valleys, listening to the ding-dong of the mountain streams, watching the monkeys by the road that are not afraid of tourists, looking up at the whimsically shaped stone peaks and letting your imagination run wild, the figures and stories that are both like and unlike anything you've seen are all very beautiful and spectacular!

Touring the mountains and waters of Zhangjiajie, visiting the seventy-two strange towers

Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is breathtakingly beautiful|||It rained a bit today. There was a layer of fog on the water when we went. It was really breathtakingly beautiful. I recommend everyone to go. It's super beautiful~ Zhangjiajie is really a place where you accidentally enter a fairyland, Zhangjiajie two-day route recommendation|||Characteristics of each scenic spot: ● Yuanjiajie: There are hundreds of dragon ladders, Avatar shooting location, many tour groups. ● Tianzi Mountain: The scenic spots are concentrated, less time-consuming, easy and effortless, and there are many tour groups. ● Yangjiajie: Low level of development, few people, few tour groups, Wulongzhai and Tianbofu scenic spots have been struck by lightning and are temporarily closed. ● Huangshi Village: Independent scenic spot, few people, few tour groups, long total time (2 hours on foot). ● Ten-mile Gallery: The entrance and exit are a line, with a ground rail train. ● Jinbianxi: Much better looking than the Ten-mile Gallery, the tour group will not walk the whole journey (2.5 hours in total). ●PS: If time is limited, don't stick to popular scenic spots like Yuanjiajie and Tianzi Mountain. The scenery on the mountain is actually similar. The scenery of Huangshi Village can completely replace it, and there are fewer people. If you choose one of the Ten-mile Gallery and Jinbianxi, definitely choose Jinbianxi. If you walk the whole journey, there are very few people. ●Two-day recommended route (the route I took) DAY1: Sign door in→Bus→Bailong ladder up→Yuanjiajie→Bus→Yangjiajie→Bus→Tianzi Mountain→Cable car down→Bus→→Sign door out DAY2: Sign door in→Bus→Jinbianxi→Bus→ Huangshi Village (cable car up and down)→Bus→Exit of Forest Park Section bus: Take the bus, on the route from the sign door to various scenic spots, sit in the same position as the driver, the scenery outside the window is back to the mountain and facing the scene, it looks better. From Yangjiajie to Tianzi Mountain, and the route back to the sign door, sit on the right side of the driver, the scenery is good. The journey often passes through several scenic spots. Pay attention to the station shouted by the master and ask more to avoid getting off the wrong station. You can also tell the master if you want to get off halfway. The journey from Yangjiajie to Tianzi Mountain is longer, about 30-40 minutes, and it is a minibus. Except for Yuanjiajie is Bailong ladder, the other 3 mountain scenic spots all have cable cars up and down. One way is 65-72 yuan, ends at 18:00, it is recommended to sit on the side of the cable car operation, then turn around and lean on the glass to see the scenery, sacrifice some comfort, but the scenery is in full view. Walking up and down the mountain Generally walking is to walk the chaotic slope of Yuanjiajie, the whole journey is about 1.5 hours, it should be just walking, there is no scenery. In general, the scenic spots are just looking at a large piece of bamboo shoot-like mountains from different angles. The part of the mountain is just walking in the forest and constantly switching between going to the observation deck to look out. Some observation decks have a wide view, and some are blocked by trees and cannot see the full view of the scenery, but the overall scenery is not much different. The momentum is magnificent, it can be said that after seeing the mountains of Wulingyuan, ordinary mountains can't enter the eyes, and they can't be seen. The roads on the mountain, including the roads of Tianmen Cave, the span and quantity of ups and downs are moderate, and there is not much reaction after walking for 2 days, and those with good foot strength should not need equipment for the whole journey. Zhangjiajie Seventy-two Strange Tower Zhangjiajie Seventy-two Strange Tower, a fairyland that brightens up in front of you!✨🏯|||Today I want to recommend a tourist attraction that you absolutely can't miss-Zhangjiajie Seventy-two Strange Tower! The scenery here is really beautiful that it brightens my eyes! 😍 A towering tower, It's like coming to a fairy tale world! It's a beautiful spot that makes people linger!

Tianzi Mountain

A ticket is 79rmb and the journey is less than 10 minutes Attractions - this quiet area of Zhangjiajie is perfect to take a break overlooking beautiful scenery#staycation #naturalwonders #solotravel

Tianzi Mountain - a view from the sky!

Tianzi Mountain is also one of the spots in Zhangjiajie Avatar Mountains. It also has a nice view of those rock formations that you see in the Avatar movie. It is so amazing to see! #nationalpark#roadtrip#summervacation#urbanexplorer

The original scenery of the natural beauty of the Tianzishan Tianzishan because of the Ming Dynasty Tujia leaders to Da Kun's self-title "to Wang Tianzi", named. Tianzi Shandong Linsuoxi, south of Zhangjiajie, north of Sangzhi County, is one of the four major scenery of Wulingyuan District. From the entrance of Wulingyuan, you need to make a scenic bus to the lower entrance of the cableway, and then take the cableway up the mountain. The ropeway is 72 yuan one way, round trip 144 yuan, if you do not take the cableway down the mountain, you have to walk 2-3 hours! It can be seen that the distance of this ropeway is far, and the altitude is high. You can take a closer look at the cableway and enjoy the peculiar rocky terrain from more angles, but the friends who are afraid of heights should pay attention to safety. At the top of the mountain, the air is fresh and fresh, and it is cool and comfortable, and the view is wide. It should be the highest place in Zhangjiajie. However, some of the scenery seen here is not as good as the one seen during the ropeway. The most worthwhile attraction in Tianzi Mountain is Shentang Bay. It seems like a green labyrinth. A concave deep valley, with a knife-cut wall on all sides, all day and night. The lower level is stacked to form a five-level shrine. The bottom of the valley is unfathomable. It is called the "mysterious heaven". It is said that this place is the place where Wang Tianzi returns to heaven. The geology and geomorphology of Tianzi Mountain, except for a layer of limestone and a very small amount of moir above several hundred meters above sea level on the mountain top, most of the scenic spots are composed of Xinhui quartz stone, which belongs to the sandstone peak forest landscape. Basically the same as Suoxi, Zhangjiajie.

Friends who are preparing to go to Zhangjiajie, please look here

Travelers who are preparing to go to Zhangjiajie, please take 5 minutes to read this guide on how to travel independently in Zhangjiajie, and how to spend 5 days and 4 nights there, for reference. Must-visit attractions in Zhangjiajie: Forest Park, Tianmen Mountain, Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, Phoenix Ancient City! ~~~Without further ado, let me share my itinerary for 5 days and 4 nights in Zhangjiajie! Here is my detailed itinerary for 5 days and 4 nights in Zhangjiajie: Day 1: Arrive in Zhangjiajie—Check into the hotel (it's quite late, so stay near the train station) Day 2: 5A-level scenic spot Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park—Glass plank road—Tianmen Cave—Night view of Phoenix Ancient City Day 3: Phoenix Ancient City—Morong Miao Village—Furong Town—Zhangjiajie Day 4: Wulingyuan 5A-level scenic spot—Yuanjiajie—Mihun Terrace—Qiankun Column—Yangjiajie—Stay in Wulingyuan Day 5: Ten-mile Gallery—Golden Whip Stream—Tusi City To sum up this trip to Zhangjiajie, I had a lot of fun, the attractions are very rich, including the fairyland of Zhangjiajie and the cultural experience of Phoenix Ancient City. 🚉【About Transportation】 Zhangjiajie now has high-speed rail service. Those with better economic conditions can choose to fly. Those who want to save money or are relatively close can choose to take the train or bus. I chose to take the train from Guangdong. 🏨【About Accommodation】 The accommodation this time was very special. I stayed in the scenic area on the first night and saw a very beautiful sunrise. The second night I stayed in a guesthouse in Zhangjiajie city. On the third night, I stayed in Phoenix and saw the romantic night view of Phoenix Ancient City. It felt very special. 🖼【About Food】 People in Hunan love spicy food. Both Zhangjiajie and Phoenix are quite humid. If you don't eat spicy food, be sure to tell the restaurant. When you go to Zhangjiajie, you must try the three-pot dish and rice wine. In Phoenix, you must try the blood duck. The taste is very good, but be sure to choose a more authentic restaurant. There are also some snacks like Tujia bacon and sausage, Golden Whip Stream, and hairy chestnuts that are delicious. 【How to save money in Zhangjiajie】 1. Don't go to places you shouldn't go to, such as not going to restaurants where locals don't often go. The prices will be much cheaper and the food will be delicious. 2. Don't join a tour group at the departure place. For example, if I depart from Guangdong, I won't join a tour group in Guangdong, because Guangdong travel agencies will transfer to local agencies for reception. There is an extra link here, and the price will definitely be higher. 3. Book the hotel online in advance, it will be much cheaper. 4. Don't go to the hotels recommended by the touts or touting aunties at the airport or train station exits. That's a one-way street to being ripped off.

Avoid the May Day crowds!! Changsha is just 4h away from the enchanting 'Green Wonderland 100'

With the May Day holiday approaching, many group members have been asking me for advice based on my experience last year when I took a small group to camp in Zhangjiajie. I've decided to write down these experiences in detailed notes to help everyone plan their trip. Today, I'm excited to introduce 'Little Golden Whip Stream'. This place is just short of being developed, but the undeveloped areas mean fewer people and no fees, so I highly recommend everyone to come and take a walk here! During the National Day holiday, we came here and, apart from the local residents coming to fetch water, we hardly encountered any tourists! The path is paved with cement, making it very suitable for bringing the elderly and children to breathe fresh air, with an abundance of oxygen ions. After getting used to breathing all sorts of vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions in the city, just standing here and breathing is a sublime pleasure! Some of our group members hiked along the stream for over ten kilometers without reaching the end, and I look forward to you telling me what lies at the end. For navigation, search for 'Baihutang Community, Suoxiyu Sub-district, Zhangjiajie'. Park your car at the entrance, and walk about five to six hundred meters to the first water fetching spot. The water here is spring water, and you can drink it directly. Continue walking for about 1.5 kilometers, and you'll find another water fetching spot. The water here is drawn from 150 meters underground. Local residents will drive thirty to fifty kilometers just to fetch water here, and some even send the water to Shanghai. The water quality can be preserved for about a month. Our group filled a few buckets of water to bring back to Changsha, and we bought some local berry tea to brew. The sweet and lingering aftertaste made me feel that all other teas are just mundane! You can plan to spend half a day here, accompanied by the sound of the babbling stream, admiring the unique peaks and rocks, walking leisurely without any specific destination in mind. Just being here and breathing the air is a supreme enjoyment.

Location of Journey to the West

#chinatrip The Golden Whip Stream in Zhangjiajie National Park, Hunan is famous for the movie set location of Journey to the West (西游记). It is a nice half day stroll with minimal effort required, and a good time to come is early in the morning to avoid the tour groups. There is a wheelchair path which I found to be very accessible friendly for elderly and disabled people. Overall a nice place to enjoy nature's beauty and the limestone mountains.

If you go to Zhangjiajie, you may wish to go to Tunxi Street. Xibu Street, just in Wulingyuan Town, is a street with no love. Among them, I think it is like Lijiang, or Phoenix. There is a clear flowing river next to it, jumping over the rocks, people walking around, playing in the water, or riverside clothing; the streets of the bluestone are spotless, the shops on both sides, coffee shops, bars, restaurants are row upon row. ...just, compared to the first two, Xibu Street is quieter and the business atmosphere is weaker. Xibu Street in the morning, no one, only heard his own footsteps. The sun shines on the wooden shops and has a warm light. The old street at night is not yet awake. So this is what my favorite old street looks like, everything is just right.

The hot spots in Hunan Province are more than Changsha, Zhangjiazhuang and Fenghuang Ancient City. For Zhangjiajie, more people know about Wulingyuan and Tianmen Mountain. However, in addition to these, there is this half-street and half-street commercial and trade district. This is the Xibu Street in Zhangjiajie. Xibu Street is a commercial pedestrian street that has only recently emerged in recent years. It is popular throughout the Zhangjiajie area because the entire street is full of Zhangjiajie specialty restaurants. Now it is all over the country. When you get up early in the morning, you will find this street very quiet and very sensational. At this time, you can feel the dining culture of this ancient commercial street. The name of this street is still very veritable. It is thought to be a block built along the river. The rivers are arranged in a high and low superimposed way, forming a spectacular landscape of multiple small waterfalls. Cloth Street. Xibu Street, half of the street, Xibu Street, such a name is really appropriate, such a beautiful river and such a characteristic ancient street area complement each other, forming the most beautiful and worth visiting neighborhood at the foot of Wulingyuan. In Xibu Street, a place to reach the entrance to the river, you can see such beautiful scenery. This kind of scenery is the characteristic of Zhangjiajie landscape and the charm of Xiangxi. The beauty of nature makes this Xibu Street the biggest difference with the national business district, that is, the neighborhood can also hide such a colorful pastoral scenery, just like poetry and painting. When we arrived at Xibu Street, the red level of the network, we found that this red street is not only a street, but also an ecologically relaxing green resort.

Xibu Street, an old street on the edge of the deep mountain stream. Wake up in the morning, stroll in the old street, look at the aunt who washes clothes by the river, the old man who practiced Tai Chi in the square, This is the morning of Zhangjiajie~

Xibu Street is located in Wulingyuan District of Zhangjiajie, opposite the Wuling Avenue District Government. North of Wuling Avenue, south of the 400-meter Suoxi River waterfront, east of Zhangjiajie Grand Theatre, west to Baofeng Lake main road - Baofeng Bridge, is the only water-street bar street in China, China's famous snack street, Xiangxi The complex tourism commercial pedestrian street, which is a folk shopping boutique street, leisure inn and creative workshop, is a cultural tourism collection that cannot be copied in the core scenic spot of Wulingyuan. A Xibu Street, Wanjiajie, there is a water bar street, Chinese famous snack street, Xiangxi folk shopping boutique street, creative workshop street, leisure inn district, intangible cultural display point, is a complex cultural leisure tourism district . The earth winds and the rhyme, the buildings built by the water are exquisite and beautiful, the witchcraft culture, the ghost valley culture, the Xilan Kapu handicrafts, the Miao silver craft and other cultural treasures are wonderful, and dozens of specialty inn bars are fascinating.
