Personal experience sharing This trip to Zhangjiajie was truly unforgettable! When I first saw the unique peaks and rocks and deep canyons of Zhangjiajie, I was deeply shocked. The scenery here is simply too beautiful, like a beautiful scroll painting. I first went to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and took the Bailong Elevator up the mountain to see the magnificent unique peaks and rocks. Yuanjiajie's Qiankunzhu is truly magical, just like the floating mountain in the movie "Avatar". Yangjiajie's cliffs are also very steep, which is amazing. Tianzishan's Yubi Peak and Fairy Scattering Flowers are even more picturesque, making people intoxicated. On the second day, I went to Tianmenshan National Forest Park, and took the cable car up the mountain to overlook Zhangjiajie city and surrounding scenery. The glass skywalk is really exciting, giving people a sense of heartbeat. Tianmen Cave is also very spectacular, making people feel the wonder of nature. In terms of food, I tasted Sanxiaoguo, Tujia bacon, Kudzu root powder, and other local delicacies, all of which were delicious. Especially Sanxiaoguo, its spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavor left me with a lingering aftertaste. In terms of accommodation, I chose to stay in a guesthouse near Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, which was convenient for continuing my sightseeing the next morning. The guesthouse environment was very good, and the service was also very attentive. During my trip, I also encountered some minor problems. For example, there were many people in the park, so I had to queue for the cable car and shuttle bus. Also, the weather changed quickly, so I had to carry rain gear and warm clothes at all times. However, these minor problems did not affect my mood, but instead made me cherish this travel experience even more. Overall, Zhangjiajie is a place worth visiting. It not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also rich food and comfortable accommodation. I hope my guide can help you, so that you can also have an unforgettable journey in Zhangjiajie!
