Yuanjiajie (Mihuantai, Qiankunzhu, The First Bridge Under Heaven)：

From the central bus station of Zhangjiajie, take the "City - Zhangjiajie National Forest Park" shuttle bus to the ticket office of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, where you can purchase your tickets. First, take the Bailong Elevator to Yuanjiajie, known as the mysterious "Pandora World". Here, you can explore the floating mountains and the unpredictable, mystical world depicted in "Avatar". Mihuantai, Qiankunzhu, and The First Bridge Under Heaven are all popular attractions. Mihuantai, located 400m east of The First Bridge Under Heaven, is one of the best natural viewing platforms in Yuanjiajie. Standing here, you can overlook the vast basin with its towering and varied green peaks, which resemble buildings, pavilions, and terraces, presenting a breathtaking and diverse scenery. Qiankunzhu (also known as Nantian Yizhu) is the filming location for the floating "Hallelujah Mountain" in the movie "Avatar". The peak is covered with lush vegetation, and its shape is so unique, as if it were carved by a knife or axe, standing tall and upright, hence the name Qiankunzhu. The First Bridge Under Heaven is a natural stone slab about 4 meters thick, suspended between two peaks, connecting the east and west sides. On rainy days, clouds often swirl and roll under the bridge. Be sure to book your tickets online in advance, as the scenic area has a limited number of visitors and entry is in batches. Tickets may not be available on the day of purchase.

The Wulingyuan Core Scenic Area (also known as Zhangjiajie National Forest Park) has a ticket price of 228 yuan and is divided into four scenic areas: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Suoxiyu Scenic Area, Tianzishan Scenic Area, and Yangjiajie Scenic Area.

Yangjiajie (Wulongzhai, Yixiantian, Tianbofu)：

Take the scenic area's environmental protection bus from Tianqiao Station, and you will arrive at Wulongzhai in Yangjiajie within 10 minutes. Yangjiajie is a favorite place for backpackers and adventure enthusiasts, mainly featuring primitive natural beauty and characterized by its "dangerous" terrain with high mountains and narrow paths. Compared to Jinbianxi and Yuanjiajie, it is quiet and mysterious. Wulongzhai, formerly known as "Heilongzhai", was once inhabited by Xiangxi bandits. The fortress is built on the mountain and is the most precipitous place in Yangjiajie. From the Wulongzhai viewing platform, you can take in the breathtaking view of strange peaks and rocks, as well as naturally formed landscapes. There is a small fortress at the entrance of Wulongzhai that provides dining services, where you can take a break and recharge. If you have a lot of luggage, you can store it at the entrance for around 2-5 yuan. If someone charges for taking photos of items such as plaques inside Wulongzhai, you can avoid the fee by taking photos from a different angle. Yixiantian leads to the final challenge of the three gates of Wulongzhai, "Who Can Pass Without Sidling?". The stone path passes through two huge rocks, and you must sidle to slowly ascend. It is said that in the past, only women who could sidle through this narrow pass without touching their shoulders were qualified to be the chieftain's wife of Wulongzhai. Tianbofu is a platform on the mountaintop, surrounded by dozens of cliff walls, creating a grand scene that resembles ruined walls and forts from afar. Locals believe it to be the site of the "Tianbofu" of the Yang Family Generals. After crossing the swaying rope bridge and climbing to the top of Tianbofu, you can see all the scenery. The area around Wulongzhai is a great place for photography and is one of the best shooting locations in Zhangjiajie.

The scenic area is particularly known for its sea of clouds, stone waves, winter snow, and sunrise. The scenic route is relatively concentrated, with the reputation of "viewing all the heavenly scenery from the railing".

Tianmen Cave:

Majestic and towering, it is a rare high-altitude mountain-piercing karst cave. One can reach Tianmen Cave by climbing 999 steps of the Heavenly Stairway, which not only serves as a path to the gate of heaven but also as a sacred place for making wishes and prayers. Tianmen Mountain is primarily explored on foot (with cable cars or minibuses for ascending and descending, included in the main ticket price). Please conserve your energy. Currently, there is only one restaurant on the mountain with relatively high prices, so it's best to bring your own food. In winter, Tianmen Cave and the Glass Stack Path may be closed due to safety risks.
