Here is Zhangjiajie, a fairyland on earth!

Stepping into Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is like taking a leap into a world of immortals and fantasy in a wuxia or xuanhuan novel.

The peculiar peaks and rocks before my eyes are like giants breaking through the depths of the earth, towering majestically and piercing the sky.

Taking the Bailong Elevator, in just 60 seconds, I was whisked from the deep and serene valley to the mountaintop.

Along the way, the scenery flashed by like a slideshow. Every frame, with its mountains, green trees, and canyons, was so breathtakingly beautiful that it took my breath away.

Standing on the viewing platform of Yuanjiajie, looking around, the surrounding mountains undulated continuously. The clouds and mists were like mischievous fairies, frolicking and playing freely among the mountains.

Jinbian Stream is simply the real-life version of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz"! Walking along the crystal-clear stream, you can clearly see small fish and shrimps playing hide-and-seek among the crevices of the rocks.

There are also many uniquely shaped stones by the stream. Some look like adorable turtles, while others resemble eagles about to take flight. You and your companions can play a little game of "Guess the Shape of the Stones". The trees on both banks are lush, with branches and leaves interlacing. Sunlight filters through the gaps, creating patches of golden light spots.

The crisp chirping of birds and the gurgling sound of the stream blend together, forming a natural symphony.

If you're an adventure enthusiast, the glass walkway on Tianmen Mountain will surely make your heart race.

Walking on the transparent walkway, with a sheer drop beneath your feet, every step feels like a brave dialogue with fear.

When the breeze blows, the walkway gently sways. That feeling of being both terrified and extremely excited is truly addictive.

And Tianmen Cave is the most remarkable masterpiece of nature! The huge cave hangs high among the mountains, like a mysterious entrance to another world.

When you finally reach the cave entrance after gasping your way up 999 steps, a great sense of accomplishment wells up in your heart.

Looking down at the entire Zhangjiajie, the city and the landscape complement each other, and all the beautiful scenery is within sight.

After playing to your heart's content, it's time to savor the local delicacies! You simply must try "Sanxiagu" (Three-Course Hot Pot)! Ingredients such as cured meat, pig stomach, and beef tripe are stewed together in a pot. Every bite is incredibly flavorful, and every spoonful of the soup can be mixed with a full bowl of rice. It's truly a "rice-killer".

There's also Yan'er Stewed Chicken, where the smoothness of the rock ear fungus perfectly blends with the tenderness of the chicken. The soup is delicious and nourishing. One sip of the soup warms you up from head to toe, and you'll find yourself wanting to have ten more bowls after just one.

Finally, here are some warm tips for you:
Zhangjiajie has a plethora of attractions. Plan your itinerary in advance to capture every bit of its beauty.
It's recommended to spend two days in the Forest Park to fully soak in the charm of nature.
