Zhangjiajie National Forest Park - This is the top attraction of Zhangjiajie, recognized as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. It features a stunning sandstone peak forest with over 3,000 pillars of various shapes and sizes, often described as an “Enlarged Bonsai, Miniature Fairland.”

BaiLong Elevator - The world’s tallest outdoor elevator (326m) that transports visitors to the mountain top in just 1 minute and 28 seconds.

Yuanjiajie - Yuanjiajie served as the main inspiration for the movie Avatar, showcasing hundreds of “Floating Avatar Mountains.” The most notable is “Hallelujah Mountain,” offering breathtaking views reminiscent of outer space. It’s no surprise that this area is the most famous highlight in the park, with larger pillars than other regions.

Tianzi Mountain - “Tianzi” translates to “Heavenly Prince,” named after a historical figure who led a local minority against the government army during the Ming Dynasty 500 years ago. The Mt. Tianzi area is an ancient battlefield, rich with historical stories and legends. From the top, visitors can enjoy the most spectacular views of the sandstone peak forest, characterized by its sharp and slender shapes. It’s a must-see highlight in the Zhangjiajie Scenic Area.

Phoenix Ancient Town - Described as one of the two most beautiful ancient towns in China by New Zealand writer Rewi Alley 70 years ago, Fenghuang is now among China’s top 10 ancient towns. It combines the charm of a typical water town with stunning nature, the mysterious Miao minority culture, and a rich history of dramatic stories and wartime relics from Western Hunan. Fenghuang is also the birthplace of many masters and celebrities across various fields. The town is highlighted by a row of beautiful riverside stilt wooden houses alongside an old wall. The magnificent night scene encourages visitors to stay for one or more nights. It’s truly an impressive place.
