If you want to find a guide to save worry, be sure to find out in advance. - Book in advance: April is the peak tourist season, so you need to book accommodation and tickets in advance, otherwise you may not be able to book your favorite hotel and suitable sessions. ✨Travel time It is recommended to arrange a 5-day and 4-night trip, so that you can easily visit the main attractions without being too rushed. ✨Must-see attractions 1. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park 🌳: Ticket price is CNY228. This is Zhangjiajie's signature attraction, with its strange peaks and rocks, like a fairyland. The "Hallelujah Mountains" in Yuanjiajie are the filming location of "Avatar", and it is really shocking to see in reality! 2. Tianmen Mountain 🎈: Ticket price is CNY258.
