Zhangjiajie National Forest Park: A 4-day sightseeing itinerary

【Itinerary】
Day 1: Ten-mile Gallery ~ Tianzi Mountain
Day 2: Yuanjiajie ~ Yangjiajie
Day 3: Sky Garden ~ Yangjiajie
Day 4: Huangshizhai ~ Golden Whip Stream

【Recommended Spots】
1. Ten-mile Gallery offers breathtaking views when you look up. Tianzi Mountain is known for its sharp, unique peaks.
2. Yuanjiajie is also known as the "Avatar Mountains." Yangjiajie is less crowded and could be considered a hidden gem.
3. Sky Garden requires an electric vehicle for access. If you have time, enjoy a scenic walk downhill in Yangjiajie.
4. Huangshizhai is perfect for a walking tour around the mountain top, offering 360-degree panoramic views. Golden Whip Stream is flat and easy to walk, though it covers a long distance.

【Recommended Cuisine】
Eat whatever you like 😅

【Recommended Hotels】
Staying near the East Gate is highly recommended. There are plenty of options, and everything from hotels to dining and shopping is conveniently accessible on foot. Entering the scenic area from the East Gate allows easy access to all attractions, and it's also convenient for visiting places outside the park, such as the Grand Canyon.

【Photo-worthy Spots】
The more you walk, the more stunning views you'll encounter. Clear, sunny days are great, but a bit of mist adds a mystical touch.

【Other Tips】
🎫 Tickets 🎫
If you have enough time, opt for the 4-day admission ticket with unlimited rides on cable cars and elevators for 540 yuan per person 🎫. This allows you to cover almost the entire park. I personally used the rides 11 times.
