General presentation
Zhangjiajie et Wulingyuan
Stonestone piles, subtropical forests and dizzying bridges form one of China's most famous natural landscapes.
To understand what Zhangjiajie and Wulingyuan are, you must look at the Zhangjiajie Forest Park, Mount Tianzi and Golden Fouet Creek. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, forests and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
