    Tianmen Mountain is a must-see in Zhangjiajie! The 999-step climb to Heaven’s Gate is tough but totally worth it for the view. If you prefer, you can take the escalator almost to the top. The mountain road with 99 curves is scenic but winding—better take the cable car for amazing views. Don’t miss the glass walkways and cliffside paths, and bring warm clothes since it’s colder up there. A perfect mix of nature, thrill, and great infrastructure!

    To be honest, I hesitated before going to Huanglong Cave, worried it might be a rip-off, but after going, I felt it was totally worth it. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. The whole visit takes about two and a half to three hours. There weren't many tourists at Huanglong Cave, mainly because there aren't many other things to spend money on, so tour groups don't like to come. But with fewer tourists, the experience is truly much better. It's definitely a hidden gem of a tourist destination.

    "It's better to live life to the fullest than to live timidly." The Lingyun Ladder on the Qixing Mountain Via Ferrata Route 1 perfectly embodies this sentiment, and it's also the section that truly tests a hiker's courage and determination. With many people, the swaying can be quite intense, putting the hiker's will and courage to the test. Riding a Via Ferrata requires a certain level of physical fitness. Although instructors accompany the entire hike, they cannot guarantee individual attention for every hiker. There are exit points if you cannot continue. But as the Chinese saying goes, "Since we're already here," hikers will surely persevere! 😄 Those with good builds can try both Route 1 and Route 2. Route 1 is just an appetizer for outdoor enthusiasts; while Route 2 doesn't have particularly thrilling sections, most of the route involves continuous ascent and numerous downward angles, significantly testing the hiker's arm strength. Transportation: There is no public transportation; you can only get there by car or taxi. Ticket Price: The current price of 780 yuan includes entrance fee to the scenic area, cable car ride up and down the mountain, shuttle bus service within the scenic area, Via Ferrata entrance fee, and a certificate and trophy upon completion. If new routes are developed in the future, I will definitely come back to challenge myself. Fearless adventurers, long live exploration!

    I'll definitely be back with my kids next time. This place is perfect for a family outing. After entering the park, my kids had so much fun that I couldn't stop them. They were wearing the little dinosaur costumes provided by the scenic area and paraded around the scenic area. They were so cute. The special effects in the scenic area were also very good, with petals, bubbles, smoke, and flames. It was really well-made. With so much fun for just one ticket, it's no wonder they say it's a "must-see"! It's definitely worth it!

    It's a nice building but what makes it special is the atmosphere and the shows, search for the official programme of the different little performance and wait to see it all, they are worth the money.

    I bought a Super VIP ticket for the 19:20 show of "Charming Xiangxi" for 456 yuan, but I booked the wrong time. The staff contacted me in advance and changed my seat to the first row, seats 13 and 14. After entering the theater, it was my first time seeing a large-scale performance up close. I could clearly see the actors' body movements and facial expressions, which was very impressive. I even managed to snatch some wedding candy during the final wedding snatching performance. The indoor performance ended at 20:30, and then we moved to the outdoor acrobatic show, which included bonfire, qigong, darts, and walking on knives, lasting for half an hour. Overall, it was great.

    Visited Tongguan Kiln National Style Park again, this time with the family. Same old routine: Black Stone Ship, Flying Theater, and Iron Flower Show. We also tried the water go-karts this time. The recently released wire stunt equipment is perfect for shooting videos and photos.
