Zhangjiajie is actually about mountains and waters, but buying tickets is quite particular‼ ️
⭕️Tianmen Mountain——In the city, buy tickets 3 days in advance
⭕️Glass Bridge——There will be a limit on the flow, and tickets must be booked in advance
Everyone must wear comfortable sneakers👟Otherwise I am afraid you will cry to death

【My personal rambling + sincere sharing】
Everyone says that there are many pitfalls in Zhangjiajie tourism, so everyone can identify it for themselves. No one will praise you for recommending good things, but even if you have personally tested good things, people will say you are a liar and a scammer if they have a bad experience with it. This is quite hurtful. I personally think it is unnecessary. If you do more travel guides yourself, you can only avoid pitfalls in travel by making fewer mistakes, but it is impossible to avoid them. I have visited so many places and I have encountered pitfalls every time.

Zhangjiajie is divided into three major scenic areas: Tianmenshan National Forest Park, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and Grand Canyon Glass Bridge  🔺D1: #Tianmenshan National Forest Park [Location]#  Tickets: 278 yuan for adults, 147 yuan for seniors and students, including the cableway fee It is divided into Line A and Line B. The difference is whether to choose the large cableway to go up or down. It is recommended to take the large cableway up the mountain on Line A. The whole journey takes half an hour and the scenery is very good  · 🔺D2/3: #Zhangjiajie National Forest Park [Location]#  Tickets: 228 yuan for adults, 116 yuan for seniors and students. The ticket can be entered repeatedly within four days, including the eco-friendly car in the scenic area, but the cableway and Bailong Elevator (72 yuan) are at your own expense  There are a total of 5 ticket stations in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. We chose the route of the reverse tour group. Enter from Yangjiajie Ticket Station, there are few people and beautiful scenery throughout the journey, happy~  🔺D2 Sightseeing Spots: Yangjiajie, Yuanjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, Bailong Ladder, Shili Gallery, Tianzi Mountain ▲Morning Yangjiajie Ticket Station→Visit the Natural Great Wall→Yuanjiajie→Visit Avatar Mountain Yuanjiajie→Optional Visit Yuanjiazhai Here is a super niche treasure attraction! It is called Cang Hai Sang Tian, just in front of the Hallelujah Floating Mountain in "Avatar". The scenery is really amazing. The cliff terraces surrounded by clouds and mist in the thousands of feet of peaks are very spectacular. It's like accidentally breaking into the world of immortals in the novel. No wonder the locals call it "the mirage that never ends". There are also authentic Tujia people's villages and various intangible cultural experiences. Listen to Tujia rap, eat snacks, and have fun~ In short, it is very worthwhile~ ▲Afternoon Bailong Sky Ladder→Go down to Shuirao Simen→Take a small train to visit Shili Gallery→Tianzi Mountain · 🔺D2/3 Accommodation: I have been planting my grass for a long time, and I finally checked in this time! The homestay is about 5 minutes away from the Yangjiajie ticket station by car. It is really a paradise. The homestay is surrounded by a green bamboo sea. The window is painted, and with the morning mist, it is like a fairyland! You can also see the starry sky at night, which is really beautiful! The boss was considerate and enthusiastic. He drove us to the entrance of the scenic spot and prepared the guide for us in advance. Haha! The free breakfast was very rich, and dinner was also ordered at her house. They were all local specialties, super delicious~  🔺D3 Sightseeing Spots: Huangshizhai, Jinbianxi Morning: Yangjiajie Ticket Station → Eco-friendly Car to Longfeng Temple Upper Station → Wooden Plank Road Crossing the Forest and Walking to Longfeng Temple Lower Station → Eco-friendly Car to Huangshizhai → Cableway to Huangshizhai Tour Afternoon: Take an Eco-friendly Car at the entrance of Huangshizhai to the Oxygen Bar → Walk along Jinbianxi → Oxygen Bar · 🔺D4: Grand Canyon Glass Bridge + Huanglong Cave + Charming Xiangxi  Tickets: Adult package 219 yuan. The world's longest and highest transparent glass bridge is here Huanglong Cave: A deep cave full of stalactites Charming Xiangxi: If you have time, you must watch a performance of Charming Xiangxi Tickets for Huanglong Cave + Charming Xiangxi can be bought together for 251 yuan, which is more cost-effective than buying them separately ·
First of all, it is impossible not to be tired! The average daily step is 20,000+. The three main players are both amateur and fun-loving. The good thing about traveling during the Mid-Autumn Festival is that the overall flow of people is okay, and the queue is within half an hour. Let me talk about the arrangement of the two-day tour (the first day is up the mountain, the second day is down the mountain). The check-in points can be seen in the corresponding pictures.  🎫: For a two-day tour, you can choose the three-cable and one-elevator package with your eyes closed. The scenic area is full of facial recognition, which is very convenient. Day1 (on the mountain) East Gate entry-Bailong Elevator (up the mountain)-Yuanjiajie-Yangjiajie-Tianzi Mountain-Tianzi Mountain Cableway (down the mountain) East Gate exit 1️⃣Bailong Elevator  Enter the East Gate and take the environmental protection for 20 minutes through the Ten-mile Gallery (don't get off the car) to the lower station of the ladder. I have watched too many videos online, and I am unwilling to take it. It's just like that after taking it, but it can achieve a quick mountain climb! It takes about 20 minutes to get to Yuanjiajie after getting out of the elevator and taking the environmental protection car. 2️⃣Yuanjiajie I would like to call it the most shocking place in the whole Zhangjiajie. Enter from the Mihun Terrace, there is a pillar of heaven and earth in the middle (the filming location of Avatar), see the hundred-yuan bill, and finally exit at the No. 1 Bridge in the World. Take the eco-friendly car for about 10 minutes to Yangjiajie. 3️⃣ Yangjiajie (optional) is a bit mediocre, some attractions are too far away and there is no time Take the eco-friendly car for about 20 minutes to Tianzi Mountain  4️⃣ Tianzi Mountain ⚠️ Be sure to tell the driver on the eco-friendly car that you want to get off at [Dianjiangtai], otherwise you will be taken all the way to Tianzi Mountain. The scenery of Dianjiangtai is definitely better. We also took the car back after arriving. After watching the Imperial Brush Peak and Fairy Offering Flowers at Tianzi Mountain, you can take the cable car down the mountain. Day 2 (down the mountain) Enter from the South Gate - Oxygen Bar Square - Huangshi Village → Golden Whip Stream - Ten-mile Gallery - Exit from the East Gate  1️⃣Huangshi Village 2h Tour We decided to walk through Golden Whip Stream, so we only walked a small circle in Huangshi Village to save our energy. The map of the scenic area shows the large circle (3-4h) and the small circle (1-2h). The core attractions are basically enough for the small circle, mainly because we were a little tired of seeing the mountain on the second day 2️⃣Golden Whip Stream (4h) The whole journey is 7.5 kilometers. To be honest, I really couldn't walk at the end... But the air and environment are really great, and it doesn't feel hot. Many people who eat snacks are super cute. 3️⃣Ten-mile Gallery (1h) We chose to take the train in and walk out. The total length is 2 kilometers. The train needs to buy a separate ticket. The main reason is that my smart mother chose to listen to the explanation on the train and then take pictures when she walked out. Otherwise, it's a bit hard to tell which mountain to look at just by looking at the signboards. ⚠️tips 1️⃣Time: If you only play for one day, it is recommended to go to Bailong Ladder-Yuanjiajie-Yangjiajie Lower-Jinbianxi. If you don't have enough energy and have more time, you can choose a three-day tour 2️⃣A lot of ⛰️ need to rely on imagination, but it really looks more and more like it, and it's still worth the trip~ 3️⃣ Be sure to wear comfortable shoes! Look at the signboards and avoid taking the wrong road
