Real experiences from real travelers
The scenery is unlike anything I've ever seen. Booking the ticket online saved us so much hassle at the gate. The facial recognition entry was super fast.
We booked the private tour option. Our guide was fantastic and knew exactly how to beat the crowds at the Bailong Elevator. The views at Yuanjiajie are literally out of this world.
The park itself is a 10/10. However, be prepared for long lines in August. The ticket worked perfectly, valid for 4 days which is great because you can't see it all in one day.
I came for the Avatar mountains and wasn't disappointed. The 'Hallelujah Mountain' is real! Pro tip: Go early (7 AM) to enjoy the quiet. Booking through here was seamless.
Easy booking process. I received the voucher instantly. The park is huge, so study the map before you go. The bus system inside is free and efficient.
One of the highlights of our China trip. The misty weather actually added to the atmosphere. We used the ticket for 3 days straight. Highly recommend the cable car ride.
The nature is incredible, but July is very hot and humid. The ticket worked fine, but make sure you bring your passport every day for entry.
Everything went exactly as described. The instructions for where to redeem the ticket were clear. The Bailong Elevator is a must-do add-on.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Yes, the standard admission ticket to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is valid for 4 consecutive days, allowing you to explore different sections at your own pace.
Yes, a valid passport is absolutely required for booking and for entry at the park gates. The park uses a facial recognition system linked to your passport ID.
No, generally the standard entry ticket covers admission and the internal eco-shuttle buses only. The Bailong Elevator, Tianzi Mountain Cable Car, and Yangjiajie Cable Car require separate tickets which can be purchased on-site or as part of a package.
The park is busiest during Chinese national holidays (early May and early October) and summer vacation (July-August). Arriving at the gates before 7:30 AM is the best strategy to beat the tour groups.
There are no specific age restrictions, but the terrain involves a lot of walking and stairs. It is suitable for children, but strollers are difficult to use.
You can take a taxi (approx. 45-60 mins) or a public bus from Zhangjiajie Central Bus Station to Wulingyuan, where the main park entrance is located.
Accessibility is limited. While some lower paths like the Golden Whip Stream are flat, the upper mountain areas require climbing stairs and navigating uneven terrain, making it difficult for wheelchairs.
Yes, but we strongly recommend booking in advance, especially during peak seasons, as there are daily visitor quotas. Online booking also saves you from navigating language barriers at the ticket office.
No, that is Tianmen Mountain, which is located in Zhangjiajie city center. This ticket is for the National Forest Park (Wulingyuan), which features the Avatar mountains. They are two separate attractions.
