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

Let me share my experience and guide to avoid pitfalls!  🌈🌈🌈【Itinerary】 DAY 1️⃣ Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (classic must-go)  ✔️Daytime: Yuanjiajie (filming location of "Avatar", "Qiankun Pillar", the prototype of Hallelujah Mountain, the world's first bridge, etc.) - Huangshizhai - Yangjiajie - Jinbianxi - Shili Gallery (Three Sisters Peak, Herb Collecting Old Man, Tuoluo Peak, etc.) ✔️Evening: Eat authentic Tujia cuisine, Tujia three-pot, flavored shrimp, threshing skin, smoked bacon, Zhangjiajie cuisine is strongly conquered!

This small town with stilt houses is pretty good~  ⚠️⚠️⚠️【Special attention】 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 🏠🏠🏠【About accommodation】 1️⃣Zhangjiajie Mountaintop B&B-Xinwu Mountain Residence Pure white ins style + large floor-to-ceiling windows + beautiful mountain scenery, I love to sleep until I wake up naturally in the morning and watch the sunrise directly! 🌿🌈 2️⃣Phoenix must stay in Phoenix Qingxi Zen Temple‼ ️Very Japanese and Kyoto The night view is very nice, it feels very strange, and it is also convenient to go to the bar and hang out at night! . 【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.
