- After breakfast, head to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Visit Huangshi Village Scenic Area (round-trip cableway included), renowned as “If you don’t visit Huangshi Village, your trip to Zhangjiajie is in vain.” The area amazes every five steps, stuns every seven, and leaves you speechless beyond ten. Famous spots include Star-Picking Platform, Five-Finger Peak, and Six Wonders Pavilion.
- In the afternoon, explore Tianzi Mountain Nature Reserve (one-way cableway included), located in the northern part of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, adjacent to Suoxiyu Scenic Area. Known for its pristine natural beauty, it features uniquely shaped geological formations and peaks like Imperial Brush Peak and Fairy Offering Flowers.

Warm Tips:
- Scenic park shuttles service all attractions; groups may not share the same vehicle, and belongings should not be left behind. Crowds and queues are common in peak season—please be patient and meet at designated spots.

- Check local weather—Zhangjiajie’s mountainous climate has large day-night temperature swings. Bring warm clothing, sun protection, rain gear, and essentials (cold/胃药, insect repellent, etc.). Respect local ethnic customs.
- As a mountainous area with long drives, get a pre-trip health check. Those with heart disease, hypertension, asthma, epilepsy, mental illness, diabetes, infectious diseases, anemia, pregnancy, or mobility issues should not join. Concealed conditions leading to incidents are the guest’s responsibility. Seniors over 70 need a safety agreement, recent health certificate from a top-tier hospital, family consent, and waiver; pregnant women and those over 75 are declined for safety.
