introduce

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is divided into Huangshizhai, Jinbianxi, Yuanjiajie, Yangjiajie, Tianzishan and Suoxiyu and other areas. It is the core scenic spot that must be visited in Zhangjiajie. More than 3,000 strangely shaped peaks rise from the ground, full of greenery. The peaks and valleys are shrouded in clouds and mist, and waterfalls and streams can be seen everywhere. The scenery is so beautiful. The floating mountain "Hallelujah Mountain" in the movie "Avatar" was also filmed here, and I believe movie fans will be familiar with it.

Zhangjiajie's rivers and lakes name

There are too many names in Zhangjiajie's rivers and lakes, which often confuses many donkey friends. Before visiting, you must first figure out the relationship between these scenic spots and scenic spots.
  • Zhangjiajie and Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
Zhangjiajie is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Hunan Province and a popular tourist city in China. Scenic spots in the city include Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park, Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, etc. And most people come to Zhangjiajie to visit Zhangjiajie's core scenic spot - Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
  • Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and Wulingyuan Scenic Area
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and Wulingyuan Scenic Area are actually the same scenic spot and the same ticket, but they are called differently. There are five ticket stations in the scenic area, of which Wulingyuan ticket station and Forest Park ticket station are the two main entrances.

Highlights of scenic spots

  • Yuan Jiajie: Landing on Pandora Planet in "Avatar"

Yuanjiajie is the filming location of "Hallelujah Mountain" in the movie "Avatar", where you can explore the magical world of floating mountains and dotted with stars in the movie. If it happens that there is a light rain in the mountains, or when it clears up after the rain, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of mist and peaks. Mihun Terrace is an ideal location for viewing the scenery. Standing on the platform, there are hundreds of stone peaks standing all around, which is majestic. Here you can also see the No. 1 Bridge in the World, which spans between the two mountains and has a vertical height difference of 357 meters.

  • Tianzi Mountain: The Son of Heaven does not look at the mountain when he returns

When visiting Tianzi Mountain, you will see various geological landscapes and peaks with strange shapes, such as Yubi Peak, Fairy Presenting Flowers, Dianjiang Terrace, Sky Garden, Fairy Bridge, etc. Don't pay too much attention to the likeness of these natural shapes, because "primitive scenery and natural beauty" is the charm of Tianzi Mountain. Especially in the hazy fog after the rain and the early sunshine, it seems to be in a fairyland. When the mountains are covered with snow in winter, the scenery is even more charming.

  • Huangshizhai: Climb to the top to see all the small mountains

"If you don't go to Huangshizhai, you will go to Zhangjiajie in vain." Huangshizhai is a viewing platform in Zhangjiajie Forest Park. It is surrounded by cliffs and green trees, and the top of the village is often cloudy and foggy. Climb to the top of Huangshizhai and look around, you can experience the pride of "seeing all the mountains and small ones at a glance".

  • Yangjiajie: Stimulus seeks in danger

Yangjiajie is mainly dominated by primitive scenery and natural beauty, with high mountains and narrow roads, known for its "dangerousness", and is deeply loved by backpackers and explorers. The Wulongzhai in the scenic area is a very magical place in Zhangjiajie. In the past, the bandits in western Hunan lived here. Later, it was renamed according to the TV series "Wulongshan Bandit Suppression". The cottage is built on the mountain, and there is still a road up and down the mountain. It takes hands and feet to climb to the top of the mountain.

  • Suoxi Valley: Natural Splashed Ink Landscape Scroll

Suoxiyu is also called Suoxi, because the stream in the scenic spot is shaped like a rope. Unlike other places in the forest park, it is shrouded in clouds and mists all year round, with clear streams running continuously in all seasons, and beautiful peaks can be seen everywhere. Shili Gallery is the essence of Suoxiyu. In the 5-kilometer-long canyon, there are fragrant wild flowers, strange peaks and rocks. Walking through it is like walking into a natural landscape painting.

  • Golden Whip Creek: The Filming Location of Journey to the West

Jinbianxi Canyon is the earliest area to be developed in the scenic area. A clear stream passes through the valley, with towering peaks on both sides, and greenery everywhere. This is also one of the filming locations for the classic version of "Journey to the West". Movie fans can come here to see classic scenes such as Water Curtain Cave, Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother, etc.

1. There are 5 ticket stations in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, namely Wujiayu Ticket Station (Sign Gate), Forest Park Ticket Station, Tianzishan Ticket Station, Yangjiajie Ticket Station and Zimugang Ticket Station. You can enter the scenic spot by buying a ticket at any ticket station.

2. Wujiayu Ticket Station (Sign Gate) and Forest Park are two commonly used entrances. From one to the other, you can basically walk around the entire scenic spot along the circular route. If it is a day trip, you can choose the Tianzishan Ticket Station. After entering the door, you can directly take the eco-car to the top of Tianzishan Mountain, which saves the money for taking the Bailong Ladder or the cable car up the mountain, and also saves the time of queuing and hiking, avoiding mountaineering tired.

3. The steep cliff divides the scenic spot into two areas: the upper part and the lower part. The two entrances of Jinbianxi, Wulingyuan and Forest Park are at the lower part of the mountain, while the rest of the scenic spots are on the upper part of the mountain. There are free eco-cars to and from various scenic spots. There are various cableways and elevators connecting the mountains and mountains, and you can also walk along the stone steps.

4. The scenic spot is a famous tourist spot in China, and the passenger flow is not small on weekdays. During major holidays, it is even more crowded. It is very common to not be able to squeeze into the sightseeing car and take the elevator to queue for more than 2 hours. Please arrange your itinerary in advance .

5. The forest vegetation in the Forest Park Scenic Area is lush, and there are cute wild macaques. Please do not feed the monkeys or tease the macaques, so as not to scratch them! In addition, you must pay attention to the safety of your feet when you are playing, so that you can walk without looking at the scenery, do not walk while looking at the scenery, and do not climb or climb the railings.

6. Although there are snack bars and farmhouses that provide food and beverages in the scenic area, it is still necessary to put a bottle of drinking water and a pack of biscuits in the bag during the mountain tour.

7. The accommodation in Zhangjiajie Forest Park is divided into uphill and downhill. Wulingyuan Town has better accommodation conditions under the mountain. You can choose to live in the Xibu Street area, which is relatively close to Huanglong Cave, Baofeng Lake, Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon and other attractions. There are also many places, and there are many large-scale live performances nearby.
