Practical guide
Plan a Two-Day Route Through Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
Use the official two-day route to link Golden Whip Stream, Yangjiajie, Yuanjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, and Ten-Mile Gallery.
Hunan’s official tourism guide recommends allowing two days for Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and sets out a practical route through its major areas. It also explains that park tickets remain valid for repeated entry within four days and that internal eco-bus travel is included.
A clear next step
- Start at the National Forest Park ticket gate, walk Golden Whip Stream, then take the Yangjiajie cableway to visit Yangjiajie and Yuanjiajie.
- Stay in the park or in Wulingyuan after day one, then use the second day for Tianzi Mountain and Ten-Mile Gallery before exiting at Wulingyuan.
- Keep your ticket for return visits within its four-day validity period, and budget extra time at internal transport boarding points because queues can be long.
