Tips
1. Entertainment and Popular Spots: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park should be at the top of your list. While at it, explore the Golden Whip Stream for beautiful landscapes and the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area recognized for its towering sandstone and quartz pillars. Nevertheless, a visit is incomplete without checking out the Tianzi Mountain, Avatar Hallelujah Mountain, and the Bailong Elevator.

2. Money-Saving Tip: Consider buying the combo ticket which covers park buses and admittance to main landmarks within the park. It is cheaper and more convenient compared to purchasing individual tickets. It will also save you plenty of time.

3. Dining: Try local dishes for an authentic experience. Tu Minority's meals such as San Xia Guo and Zhangjiajie Tujia Yan are must-tries. There are numerous restaurants in the park and in downtown Zhangjiajie that offer these local cuisines.

4. Best Times to Visit: The ideal time to visit Zhangjiajie is during spring (April-June) and fall (September-November) when the weather is favorable. Since summer and winter can see extreme temperatures, it's best to avoid this time. Keep in mind that the park can get crowded during China's national holidays.

5. Itinerary Planning: Plan your itinerary around the parks and aim to spend at least 3 days exploring. Start early in the morning to avoid large crowds and to maximize your sightseeing day. Always keep a map handy to navigate through the vast park area.
