Three days and two nights exploring Zhangjiajie! This place known as a "fairyland on earth" is absolutely amazing. Follow my guide to avoid all tourist traps✨
🚶 Itinerary
Day1:
📍 Wulingyuan Scenic Area: The essence of Zhangjiajie is here. Take the Bailong Elevator up the mountain to save hiking time (Address: Jun Di Ping, Wulingyuan District, Zhangjiajie)
📍 Yuanjiajie: Filming location for Avatar movie, the "Dream Back to Avatar" show is worth seeing!
📍 Tianzi Mountain Cable Car: A must-try cliffside cable car. Best taken around 5pm for stunning sunset views
Day2:
📍 Tianmen Mountain: Book tickets 3 days in advance. Recommended Route B (eco-bus up, cable car down)
📍 Tianmen Cave: The 999-step Heavenly Ladder is spectacular. Those with limited stamina can buy elevator tickets (¥32/person)
📍 Glass Walkway: At 1,430m altitude, your legs might shake but it's super thrilling!
Day3:
📍 Grand Canyon Glass Bridge: World's longest glass bridge. Best time 9-11am for perfect lighting and photos
📍 Huanglong Cave: Amazing karst cave formations. Wear non-slip shoes
🍲 Food Guide
✅ Sanxiaguo: Zhangjiajie specialty. Recommended restaurant "Xiangxi Commune" (Address: Huilong Road, Yongding District)
✅ Sour Fish Soup: Locals' favorite, delicious broth
✅ Stinky Tofu: Smelly but addictive. Vacuum-packed versions make great souvenirs
✅ Zhangjiajie Rice Noodles: Must-try breakfast, perfect with pickled beans
⚠ Practical tips:
1. Food in scenic areas is expensive, bring snacks
2. Wulingyuan tickets are valid for 4 days - no need to rush
3. October-November is the most beautiful time with red maple leaves
4. Many scenic area transports require separate fees - bring enough cash
5. For sea of clouds, visit after light rain (but be careful)
🏠 Accommodation:
Best to stay near Wulingyuan's main gate to enter first in the morning and avoid crowds
