Route Guide: Zhangjiajie is located in the northwest of Hunan. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, together with the three connected nature reserves of Suoxiyu, Tianzi Mountain, and Yangjiajie, forms Wulingyuan, the core scenic area of Zhangjiajie.
Zhangjiajie tour routes include trips to Zhangjiajie alone, as well as combined tours with Fenghuang Ancient Town.
Zhangjiajie Attractions: The more famous attractions in Zhangjiajie Forest Park include Golden Whip Stream, Yuanjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, and Huangshizhai. The Qiankun Pillar in Yuanjiajie closely resembles the Hallelujah Mountain in the movie Avatar. In addition, Tianmen Mountain, Yellow Dragon Cave, Baofeng Lake, and the Tujia Folk Customs Park are also worth visiting.
Zhangjiajie Food: The Tujia cuisine of Zhangjiajie has strong ethnic characteristics while also blending the essence of Hunan cuisine. Signature dishes include cured pig's head, New Year reunion dish, blood tofu, Hezha, sour fish, loach burrowing into tofu, and black chicken soup with gastrodia. Local snacks include She rice and pig's blood congee. Stir-fried cured meat with kudzu root, rock ear, and stir-fried sour corn with eggs are very local specialties worth tasting.
Best Time to Visit: The best times to visit Zhangjiajie are spring and autumn. In spring, Zhangjiajie has fresh fragrant grass and falling petals everywhere. You can trace Golden Whip Stream, tour the Ten-Mile Gallery, and explore Yellow Dragon Cave, and you can also experience the surprise of the Wuling fisherman entering the Peach Blossom Spring. In autumn, Zhangjiajie has high skies and light clouds, with forests dyed in layered colors. This is also the season when delicious fruits such as kiwi and mandarin oranges ripen, so besides sightseeing you can also taste fresh fruit.
