Why it exists
English information about Zhangjiajie has two faults. The numbers are old — many pages still quote the peak-season ticket prices that were abolished in 2025, or describe a cableway that stopped running — and the numbers disagree with each other: the same road has four driving times, the same bridge three heights. What we do is simple. Every figure on this site is traced to a source — a provincial or municipal pricing document, a scenic-area notice, an operator’s announcement, or what we saw on the ground — and every page carries the month it was last checked. Where two sources disagree, we write a range or leave the number out.
What the guide pages are not
The guide pages carry no advertising, no sponsored content and no affiliate links to booking platforms. Scenic areas, shows and transport appear at their own published prices and under their own rules.
How to use it
Start with the overview, which explains how Zhangjiajie is laid out and where to sleep. Then plan your days from the pages on each place, and use the getting-here page for your city. The questions at the end of each page are the ones we are asked most.
Updates
Operating arrangements change — the closure of Tianmen Mountain’s main cableway in October 2026 is one example. We date the change on the page and change it back when it is reversed. Scheduled prices are re-checked monthly. If you find something out of date or wrong, we want to know — the address is below.
Tours
Since October 2026 the people behind this guide also run two fixed-departure small-group tours from Wulingyuan town: a three-day tour on Mondays and Thursdays and a Forest Park day tour every morning, both with an English-speaking licensed guide and every ticket included. They are on the tours page, and they are the only pages on this site that sell anything. The guide pages are written exactly as before: no advertising, prices as the scenic areas publish them, and no steering towards our own tours.
Contact
Write to [email protected], or message us on WhatsApp +86 191 7441 1901. The most useful thing you can send is a correction: a price that has changed, a road or path that has closed, a timetable that has moved. We check the point before we change the page. Questions about anything on these pages, or about planning your own days in Zhangjiajie, are welcome too.

Does this site sell tours?
Two: a three-day small-group tour and a Forest Park day tour, both with fixed departures from Wulingyuan town and an English-speaking guide. Everything else on the site is a guide, not a sales page.
