Things to do in Zhangjiajie

Visiting Tianmen Mountain National Park was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life! Words honestly can't do justice to how stunning this place is. The cable car ride alone is worth the trip, with jaw-dropping views in every direction. And walking up to the famous Tianmen Cave (Heaven's Gate) felt like stepping into another world. Pure magic! Don’t forget to make a wish there!!!

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park was a physically demanding trip. I visited Yuanjiajie, Yangjiajie, Huangshizhai, and Tianzi Mountain, taking the recommended route, the East Gate B line. I highly recommend Tianzi Mountain; the viewing platform offers a wide, magnificent, and breathtaking view. Next time, I'll definitely take the East Gate A line. Tianzi Mountain at 7-8 am is like a heavenly paradise; every snapshot is a masterpiece.

72 Wonders, 72 Secrets! If you’re in Zhangjiajie, don’t miss it. Get there by 6 p.m. to grab a spot in front of the tower, then grab a beer and some food from the nearby shops. Trust me—it’s a must-visit.

The starting point is the most fun; I highly recommend the Via Ferrata. It's all about fun and relatively safe. Note that there are two lines, one going up and one going down. If you go down but don't go back up, you'll have to go back to get your luggage, which costs twice. The zipline is an option, but the queue is 2 hours long, and the ride lasts only 5 minutes. Other attractions are best enjoyed as something new to try.

This experience is worth a thousand times more than the price of the ticket.

The unique landscape is truly breathtaking; it's a filming location for Avatar. Even after the National Day holiday, there were still quite a few people, especially foreigners – Zhangjiajie has a certain magic. The scenic area management is acceptable; there are many shuttle buses, making it convenient to go up and down the mountain. However, some details like cleanliness could be improved.

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon combines high-altitude thrills with a scenic gorge hike. The main attraction is the glass bridge, suspended 300 meters above the canyon floor and stretching 430 meters long. It features transparent glass panels and the world's highest bungee jump. Beyond the bridge, a three-kilometer trail follows a mountain stream through the canyon floor. This section includes waterfalls, cliff-side walkways and a boat ride. There's also a Zipline, VR-experience and different lifts and slides to traverse the park. The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon (Glass Bridge) + Zhangjiajie National Forest Park Admission Ticket + 5 of 7 Grand Canyon Attractions Combo Ticket is exceptionally good value and highly recommended!I also recommend booking the ferrata experience. It's safe, affordable, exciting and will give you an experience most people don't dare attempt!

We are so happy to visit Tianmen Mountain. We bought the ticket from Trip.com. we choose Line C. Take the bus from shuttle bus station up to the cable Car station . We have to buy extra one CNY32 escalator up to the hills for 2 ways. Thank you Trip.com.

To do only this mountain need both ways cable car otherwise it’s long way in bus.

Friend, if you don't want to end up like me, spending four days only doing one one-way trips on the three cable cars and one elevator (walking up, cable car down, or elevator up, walking down), and walking around 20,000 steps a day, covering over 10 kilometers, leaving your legs exhausted by the time you get back to the hotel each day, then I recommend buying a round-trip cable car and elevator ticket. Play the way I did; I saw 90% of the attractions in the scenic area in 3.5 days. I exited through all four gates once (don't exit from the North Gate unless you're staying there).
