The average temperatures range from 15°C to 25°C during this time, making it comfortable for exploring the attractions.

    Spring, specifically April and May, is a popular time to visit Zhangjiajie as the mountains and forests come alive with colorful blossoms, creating a picturesque and enchanting landscape. It is also less crowded compared to the peak summer season.

    Autumn, from September to October, is another favorable time to visit Zhangjiajie. The weather remains pleasant, and the foliage transforms into stunning shades of red, orange, and gold, providing breathtaking views of the mountains and valleys.

Zhangjiajie in China - Amazing Mountains!!!
Our trip to Zhangjiajie was an extraordinary adventure that exceeded all my expectations. This destination, famous for its towering sandstone pillars and awe-inspiring landscapes, left me speechless at every turn.
The Zhangjiajie National Forest Park was the highlight of my trip. As I hiked through the lush forests and made my way up to the mountain peaks, I was rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views. The iconic Avatar Hallelujah Mountain, featured in the movie, seemed like a surreal masterpiece of nature. The mist-shrouded valleys and deep canyons created a mystical atmosphere that transported me into another world.
One of the most exhilarating experiences was walking along the Glass Bridge, suspended high above the stunning Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. Stepping on the transparent floor and gazing down into the abyss gave me an adrenaline rush like no other. The sheer beauty of the canyon, with its cascading waterfalls and lush greenery, was truly mesmerizing.
Exploring Tianmen Mountain was another unforgettable part of my journey. The cable car ride to the mountaintop offered breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. The famous Tianmen Cave, also known as Heaven's Gate, was an architectural marvel that left me in awe. The sheer size and grandeur of the cave were simply breathtaking.
Throughout my trip, I was captivated by the rich cultural heritage of Zhangjiajie. Visiting the ancient town of Fenghuang allowed me to immerse myself in the traditional architecture, local customs, and colorful markets. I had the opportunity to taste delicious local cuisine and interact with the friendly residents, who were always eager to share their stories and traditions.
I highly recommend adding Zhangjiajie to your travel bucket list. Prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking scenery, challenged by thrilling experiences, and enchanted by the rich culture and history of this remarkable destination. Zhangjiajie will leave an indelible mark on your heart and create memories that will last a lifetime.

An amazing 12 day family trip in China
For 2 months, we worked with Asia ODYSSEY TOURS consultant Vincent and planned a 12 day trip that covered four provinces (Beijing, Chongqing, Zhangjiajie, and Hangzhou).
1: Hassle free planning: AOT did a great job from beginning to end. All train tickets, hotel booking, and site admissions were managed by our AOT consultant. He answered questions quickly regardless of time zone or weekend. All in all, AOT arranged private tours for our family of 6, aged from teenager to senior citizen. Reminders on specific exit from various train stations. These are huge stations.
2: Guides in China were knowledgable, punctual, and professional. They educated us on local history, popular gathering places, and local customs. Of note: they proactively modified our schedule in order to avoid large crowds, especially in Zhangjiajie, and heat exhaustion. Their expertise of popular sites and times allowed us to maximize our time site seeing, while minimizing our time waiting in lines. They are also mindful of when we may not have access to a clean western style bathroom for more than an hour.
3: Drivers are timely, transporting us safely from location to location without delay.
This is a well planned and executed vacation plan. Strongly recommend for a very first time explorer in China, a vast beautiful country with fascinating history.
