😍 2 perfect days itinerary in Zhangjiajie National Park (Avatar mountains) 🩵 route recommendation

#cherryblossom2024 Zhangjiajie National Park is beautiful and really worth it a visit, but it can be a bit confusing to understand where to go and what is the best way to do the most of your visit. Here is the itinerary for 2 days visit. Which is pretty enough to see everything ❣️ Day 1 ❗️ Visiting 3 mountains ⛰️ ⛰️ ⛰️ (all views from above) ⛰️ Mountain 1: YuanJiaJie Get the shuttle bus to Bailong Elevator (it takes 10 min) - Hike or take the Bailong elevator to the top of YuanJiaJie mountain 🛗 - Walk around the mountain to see the avatar mountains. You will see the Heaven Pillar and pass the number 1 bridge in the world (a natural rock bridge linking two mountains) ⛰️ Mountain 2: YangJiaJie From the first mountain get another shuttle bus to YangJiaJie mountain (it takes 10 min). - this mountain doesn’t offer much to do or any nice views, this is the stop to change to the shuttle bus to Tianzi mountain. There is also a cable car here, if you are already tired and want to go to the entrance and leave. ⛰️ Mountain 3: Tianzi Mountain From the second mountain get another shuttle bus to Tianzi Mountain (it takes 30 minutes) - at this mountain you will have great views of the avatar mountains. There is a beautiful temple to explore and a big food court. 🍜🥮🍡🍤 - after exploring around, you have two options to go down: cable car + shuttle bus or hike + train + shuttle bus 🚌 Day 2 ‼️ Visit 1 mountain ⛰️ + hike 🥾 (Views from below and above) - At the entrance get a shuttle bus to Bailong Elevator 🥾 follow the signs to Golden Whip River 💦, the hike along the river takes about 2 hours, but is flat all the way. Here you’ll have views from below 🔼 🚌 When you get at the end of the path, get the shuttle bus to HuangShiZhai cable car. 🚠 buy the round trip ⛰️ once at the top of the HuangShiZhai mountain walk around it until you reach the point where you started, it’s gonna take around 1.5 hours, with magnificent views 🥰 To go down get the cable car back, then the shuttle bus to the entrance. 🤑 Prices Entrance 248 yuan (entrance + all shuttle buses) Bailong elevator 65 yuan (one way) Cable cars varies from 65 to 72 (one way) The round trip is double price, there is no deal for taking the round way, so it’s not recommended ❗️ ✨ extra tip ✨ If you want to take the Bailong Elevator, skip the first elevator lines, and go straight to the Bailong line. Yes, there is an elevator to get the elevator (if you are taking it to go up). But it’s really faster just take the stairs to go to the line to Bailong elevator. It’s only a couple of stairs and you will save a lot of time 😉 ⭕️ see the last two photos for itinerary 1 and 2 ⭕️ #avatarmountains #chinatravels #monkeys #cosplay #cablecar #falltrip #freehotelstay

China's first national forest park

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is the first national forest park in China, and it is a World Natural Heritage site. It features a quartz sandstone peak forest landform, also known as the Zhangjiajie landform, which is the only landform in the world named after a region. Many famous people have visited Zhangjiajie and left inscriptions as a memento. Entering Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is like stepping into a true world geological park! As you enter the forest park, you are greeted by a forest of peculiar peaks, with exquisitely shaped and lively mountains coming into view. The landscape is unparalleled in the world, with no trace of human sculpting, truly a marvel of nature's craftsmanship. The world's number one natural stone bridge spans between two mountains, the Hallelujah Mountains in 'Avatar' stand tall and erect, the beauty of the peaks and valleys of Huangshi Village, the staggered mountains, such as the 'Little Waist', the portrait on the hundred-yuan bill, the God-coming Peak, the Star-picking Platform, all seem to bear some resemblance. Strolling along the wooden walkway of Jinbian Stream, the sunlight filters through the lush forest, weaving through the peaks and quiet valleys, listening to the ding-dong of the mountain streams, watching the monkeys by the road that are not afraid of tourists, looking up at the whimsically shaped stone peaks and letting your imagination run wild, the figures and stories that are both like and unlike anything you've seen are all very beautiful and spectacular!

Gorgeous Avatar mountains (after rain)

Location: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China Entrance fee: 227¥ (ticket + bus) Date: July 19, 2022 Avatar mountains are incredible no matter how’s the weather. After the rain or on rainy days the scenery looks more beautiful and mysterious. As it often rains here, you need to take a raincoat and an umbrella with you or buy them from small shops. Here we can see a natural bridge, which unites 2 huge peaks. It looks really amazing. People also make wishes and tie them on the bridge. #timetotravel #hunan #zhangjiajie #nature #naturelover #rain #rainyday #avatar #avatarmountains #green

Gorgeous Avatar mountains (before rain)

Location: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China Entrance fee: 227¥ (ticket + bus) Date: July 19, 2022 Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is located in the northwestern part of the Hunan Province. It has become popular with tourists from both China and around the world. The park’s unique and stunning scenery has made it a must-visit destination for travelers. On the way to the Bailong elevator, we can see lots of monkeys. As they’re wild animals, you need to be careful with them. Don’t eat or drink in front of them, otherwise they’ll grab your food😅 Btw Bailong elevator (Bai means hundred and long - dragon) is the tallest, heaviest and fastest outdoor elevator in the world. It is 326m and from the foot to the top we can get in less than 2 mins. The price for the elevator is 75¥ (one way). It’s better to spend at least 2 days in the park. That would allow you to visit the must-see attractions and enjoy the scenery if the weather is rainy or foggy. As it’s a rainforest, the weather is mainly rainy here, so you need to choose a good time to admire this incredible view. #timetotravel #chinatravel #hunan #zhangjiajie #avatar #avatarmountains #nature #naturelover #destination #travel

Stunning avatar mountains. For the regular price you can walk around the mountains and enjoy awesome views. For the Lifts, cable cars, trains need to pay extra. A lot of places where you can eat and drink for affordable prices. Highly recommend to go to Figer to the sky Mountain view point, its a bit out of the bitten track. #mountainview #avatar

Hard to Capture !!! 😍 The most Amazing Mountains

I don't know how to describe the landscapes I had the chance to be in !! 🥲 No matter how many pictures/videos we see, it is another level when the environment swallows you in and you become part of it. Sharp edges and spiky mountains, stairs and stairs to the top and relaxing rides on the cable cars I recommend people climbing up the mountains and taking the cable cars down! feels like a reward after a tough day 😌 . I spent 3 days and that's enough to see pretty much the whole park! it is so convenient as the buses to link different spots saves you some time (and that is included in the National Park ticket price). just go !!! 😆😆😆 #myperfectstaycation #zhangjiajie #hunan #avatarmountains #nationalpark #china #chinatravel #solotravel

Zhangjiajie national park, Avatar world

The iconic Zhangjiajie

Can’t explain the Incredible scenery in Zhangjiajie, Hunan ⛰ Most famous for the avatar mountains. This place has been on my bucket list to see for a long time, extremely happy to finally have visited!😍 Highly recommend Zhangjiajie National Forest. Would suggest to stay closer to the east gate as this is the main entrance of the forest. This way you don’t waste time to commute everyday from the city centre. You can purchase a ticket for multiple days. I would suggest to spend at least 3 days exploring the different spots. #zhangjiajie #avatar #mountain #zhangjiajietravel #scenic #mountains

World of Avatar

Most breathtaking view of a lifetime! It’s my second time to visit the national park. First back in 2016 it’s the most amazing time because everything is covered with snow so you feel like your in very top of the world and and it feels really like the movie avatar. That time I went is around February, but this photo is taken last November. I’d still prefer the month of February it’s cold and very beautiful that you won’t forget. ALSO BEWARE OF THE MONKEYS! They look cute but they are very dangerous and aggressive! Ticket price to National Park is around 228-118 RMB it depends on the season. Heaven #newyearadventure

Baby Monkeys in the Avatar Mountains

#mountainview #china #zhangjiajie There is something magical about the mountains in Zhangjiajie. Not only were they the inspiration behind the floating mountains in the blockbuster Avatar movies, but they are also the inspiration behind countless traditional paintings and literature. During the summer you can stay cool whilst visiting due to being in the clouds, but I advise from bringing any food in plastic bags, I saw many a snack being pinched by the cheeky monkeys!

Do You Remember The AVATAR Mountains?

Now the movie Avatar 2 entered the cinemas and maybe you remember the wonderful landscape of the first movie: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan, China. I visited the park this summer and hope, everybody who wants to see it can visit this beautiful piece of land in 2023! 🏞️ 📍 The park is about 30km North of Zhangjiajie city, the touris infrastructure is very new, entrance ticket is about 200RMB excluding cablecars. 🚡 I hope everyone of us can travel a lot in 2023 and see more of this world! #2023travelwish #zhangjiajie #hunan #china #chinalife #chinatravel #avatar #avatarmountains

A National Forest Park Like No Other

There are unique & breathtaking places on earth then there is Zhangjiajie National Forest Park! Now there’s been talk that the mountain formations were the inspo behind Avatar & that’s all well and good. What this place is actually is indescribable. The mountain silos here are one of a kind and also look like naturally formed skyscrapers. There are numerous entry points to the park and sections to it so apportion at least 3 full days to see this entire park. Yes, every section is as gorgeous as the last. To get the famous Tianzi section we took a bus, hiked, got terrorized by those unruly and rude monkeys, a cable car, another bus, more hiking then voila. Also got to take earth’s tallest outdoor elevator, called Bailong. You’ll do well going in Autumn or spring, get comfy shoes for the walks & preferably a staff for those monkeys or your day will certainly be ruined. Furthermore, get snacks & water if you want to live. just let those beasts see it.

Pillars' Forest - The Amazing Nature

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park became China's first national park in 1982. This park which was later known as Avatar Hallelujah Mountain is a park of quartz-sandstone pillars. The pillars are from the natural process of the changing weather. By riding the Bailong elevator which literally means a hundred dragons elevator, we can see this breathtaking view of the park. These 3 elevators that run parallelly offer sightseeing for visitors. The elevator itself is 326m and became the world's tallest outdoor lift when it was opened to the public in 2002. It can carry around 60 people at a time. It's just an amazing experience to be there to enjoy this natural beauty. #celebratewithtrip #nationalpark #naturalwonders #travelinspiration #scenicspotguide #unforgettable Experiences

This is a must experience place, the mountains the views so serene, it’s a wonderful place to visit if you love nature and the forest kind of vibe… Zhangjiaji is full of mountains, waterfalls forest…

Avatar (Hallelujah) mountain, Zhangjiajie

It was my second time I visited he park since May 2013 and the experience was very different. 1. Herds of tourists (end of July, low risk zone) 2. The weather. In July I was "lucky" to enjoy several days of sunny weather and only 1 day of evening rain and IMHO Zhangjiajie turns into Pandora only when it's rainy - in sunny days these are just other Chinese mountains. 3. Development. I even don't remember where I lived in 2013, most likely in Zhangjiajie town, this July we lived in Wulingyuan, very close to the entrance. Of course this whole area changed, too, together with China Also due to covid there were a lot of budget and really good options, including the hotel we stayed in. A few tips: the ticket is for 4 days, don't rush the first day. Prepare in advance, get a map of the park (in our hotel it was available at reception for free). There are some other highlights like glass bridge and Tianmen mountain, the bridge isn't in the park (as I thought before the trip). Enjoy! #zhangjiajie #avatarmountains

💙FEELING THE AVATAR EXPERIENCE💙

Zhangjiajie National Forest park is a MUST VISIT place in China. It is difficult to explain with words how this place is, we are still staggered and stunned after visiting it… It is crazy cool, it is like a city with skyscrapers made out of mountains and greenery with insane formations and among them is misty, full of magical corridors and hollows in which some of them are raining like if it was the last day on earth and another ones chilled drizzling… We spent three days exploring the park and we had enough time to see all the places but the ticket is valid for 4 days, which is quite nice! . . . #passionpassport #scenicspotguide #scenicspotguide#scenicspotphotoguide #summervacation #china #zhangjiajie #mountains

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

There is no specific season to visit National park, but you must be ready for thousands of tourists because it’s one of the famous attraction in China. #travel #gooutside #summervacation #nationalpark #zhangjiajie #zhangjiajietravel #hunan #chinatravel

Hellelujah! A Glorious Scenic Site

There's a lot of hype about the mountains that inspired "Avatar", and this national park cashes in on it in a big way. Wulingyuan town is full of murals of scenes from the movie, and you'll see stills from the film printed in the tourist maps etc. The forest park lives up to the hype though. With or without "Avatar" in our collective consciousness, the scenery is truly breathtaking and worth every step. I visited in peak season, but the park is large enough that it didn't feel overhwlemingly crowded and waiting time for shuttles etc was a maximum of 10 minutes. This was a pleasant surprise compared with my experience in Tianmen Mountain. Be prepared for a LOT of walking. The park is huge, and even though there are shuttles and really awesome cableways etc, you'll still be spending a considerable amount of time on foot. My fitness device recorded about 30000 steps after my explorations in the park. You need 2 days to complete the park. I and a small group of friends were able to complete the main attractions (most of the orange routes). However, there is a much longer green route (hiking/walking through the lower part of the valley) that will require a day on it's own. For this reason, it's best to book a hotel in Wulingyuan (near the East gate is best) and get started as early as possible each day. Experience rating: 8/10 P.S. The monkeys may be cute, but they are not shy and they will snatch food and other belongings from the unwary. When going through monkey territory, keep everything in your bag.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park 🇨🇳

Trail walkers paradise ⛰️ Inside the national park there are walking routes, shuttle busses and cableways to take you to see each of the different peaks. In between each peak we chose to walk the trails which were quiet and much less crowded. The scenery is spectacular. Getting there- From Zhangjiajie train station or airport it's an affordable taxi ride to the national park. Food- We stayed in the National park for a week and enjoyed all our meals, everything has a spicy kick though.
