The magnificent mountains and clear water are like a splash-ink landscape painting unrolling in the paradise. The mountains are not as dangerously steep as those in the forest park, but you can still enjoy the elegance of this place. There is the largest karst cave in China, Yellow Dragon Cave. Boating on the Baofeng Lake is one of the top things to do in Zhangjiajie. You can also see the steep Baizhang Gorge and picturesque Ten-Mile Gallery.

Visiting Tianzi Mountain is one of the best things to do in Zhangjiajie. Tourists can choose to take an eco-car to view the whole scenic area or hike along the way. Billions of years ago, Tianzi Mountain was still a vast ocean. Later, because of the complicated and long geological process, Tianzi Mountain gradually took shape. Various stunning and steep peaks are the highlights of the scenic spot. What’s more, the scenery will be more beautiful after rain. The mountains hiding in the mist and cloud will make you feel like in heaven.

After enjoying the beautiful landscape, it's time to appreciate the cultural relics of the city.

Home to a prestigious Chinese writer Shen Congwen (1902-1988), the town was known for his novel Border Town. The town was built in the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) with red sandstone walls and the streets were paved with flagstones. Tuojiang River flows through the town and there is a narrow wooden bridge across the river under the North Gate. Walking along the river to sightsee in the town is a good option.
