Rainy Days in Zhangjiajie

I had a recent trip to Zhangjiajie National Forest last June. During my visit it rained for the past days so I was unable to see the hallelujah mountain but according to the guide the view in Tianzi Mountain is the same in Hallelujah mountain.
I booked an English guided tour in trip.com with 7 other people. The places we went to are Tianzi Mountain, Golden Whip Stream and Ten mile Gallery.
The tour started around 9am and finished at 4 covering the 3 sites of the mountain. The tour guide will give you time to roam around the site. First we went to Tianzi Mountain via cable car in line A. On top of the mountain, you can see the formation of quartz sandstone that were formed million years ago.
We had lunch near the Golden whip stream, the price range from 20-25 yuan per serving of noodles. There are other shop also for drinks that costs around 15-25 yuan. After the lunch, I walk through the walkway of Golden whip stream, it spans about 7km but I only managed to walk half-way because we only have 2 hours to stop in this area including our lunch time.
Our last stop is the Ten mile gallery, here you will take the electronic themed train to see the stone formations, the main attraction was the 3 sisters at the end of the ride. Along the way you will also see other beautiful formations. I suggest that it's better to walk so you can enjoy the view and have a better look, it's a 5.8km long.
The ticket to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is good for 4 days, you can go back and explore other areas if you have more time. The forest is around 25km away from the city, either you can take didi or bus from the central bus station with the fare around 18 yuan.
