🚗 Itinerary (Enter from South Gate, exit from East Gate, avoid peak times and queues)

✅ Day 1: Enter from South Gate → Hike 1-2 km along Jinbian Stream (play in the water and see monkeys) → Big Oxygen Bar Square → Take the Huangshizhai cable car up and down (lots of macaques!) → Take the eco-friendly bus to Yangjiajie → Transfer to Tianzi Mountain → Take the cable car down and exit from East Gate

⚠️ Key point: Don’t return directly after coming down from Huangshizhai! Take the eco-friendly bus from Longfeng Temple to the Yangjiajie cable car station to go up the mountain. There are fewer people and empty buses around noon, so the trip is smooth all the way!

Right at the East Gate exit is a food street with Sanxia Guo (three-ingredient hot pot), Tujia cured meat, and glutinous rice cakes! Highly recommend "Cha Yan Yue Se" tea shop, and bring some souvenirs home~
