Wulingyuan

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is located at No. 279, Jinbian Road, Wulingyuan District, Zhangjiajie City. In August 1988, Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan Tourist Area was listed as a national key scenic spot; In February 2004, it was included in the World Geopark; in 2007, it was included in the first batch of national 5A-level tourist attractions in China, with a total area of ​​4,810 hectares.

A pristine artificial lake surrounded by more of the rock formations that make Wulingyuan famous. Has boat trips, additional hiking trails, and occasionally traditional performances of the Tujia minority which is native to the area. 2 km south of Wulingyuan village. The bus is ¥2. Take line 2, which is on the opposite side of the bus station where they sell tickets. The bus line isn't very frequent (every 30 minutes).

A large cave with an area of 0.5km2, underground rivers and waterfalls, and impressive rock formations lit up with colorful lights. The tour includes a boat cruise on one of the rivers. About 10 km east of Wulingyuan village.

A deep, beautiful canyon within an hour's bus ride (cost ¥12) or 18 km of Wulingyuan. In 2016, the world's longest and highest glass-bottomed bridge opened to connect the two sides at the top of the canyon. Tickets for the glass bridge only are called "C" tickets and are about half the price of the canyon/bridge combo tickets (which are "B" tickets) but C tickets (especially) may sell out well in advance of the date of your visit and if one is coming out this way anyway seeing the canyon as well is probably worth it as it includes waterfalls, caves, a zip line opportunity and a boat ride at the end. When exiting the bridge, C ticket holders will end up in a lane going straight to the parking lot while B ticket holders will have another ticket check and then descend down a 1-meter-wide staircase to the bottom of the canyon. The availability of walkup tickets is not assured even for "B" tickets given capacity limitations, it may be best to inquire with your hotel or a trusted local about booking in advance. The exit point after the canyon is well down the road from the glass bridge and although there are typically many waiting buses in a parking lot there, they are just for organized tours and the local bus back to Wulingyuan will have to be flagged down from the side of the road. Glass bridge tickets are for either prior to 13:00 or after 13:00 so don't arrive too early if you have an afternoon booking.
