HOW TO: Zhangjiajie in 72 Hours | The Travel Intern

Last week, we promised y’all that we’d give y’all a detailed breakdown of how to scale Zhangjiajie, so here it is! First of all, it’s impossible to spend only one or two days in ZJJ. So PLEASE keep that in mind — At least three days (72 hours like in this video) or more.

Chloe’s gonna share some of the tips and tricks the team gathered to handling ZJJ like a frickin’ pro.

1. Explore two parts of ZJJ — Zhangjiajie City, Wulingyuan District (belonging to Zhangjiajie National Park).
2. Be mentally and physically prepared for massive crowds and A LOT of walking.
3. Show off your greatest poses and get creative for photos!!!! (Safety is sexy though, remember.)
4. Bring your student IDs to get discounts! Some even up to 50%.
5. Get ready to spend hours walking through different sites, and note that some places (like Tianzishan) are pretty much a one-way route, so there’s no reversing once you’ve entered the place.
6. Have a great, great time.

01:32 - Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge
This is where Tip #2 comes into FULL PLAY.*IMPT: Do note that you are not allowed to bring things like selfie sticks, cameras (except mobile phones), water bottles, big bags, tripods, basically clunky stuff onto the glass bridge. And no drones are allowed to be flown around the area!

02:07 - Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon
You have to walk through this Grand Canyon right after you get down from the glass bridge.

03:28 - Bailong Elevator
*IMPT: In order to leave the mountainous regions of ZJJ National Park, you’ve got to take the Bailong Elevator, especially if you want to head to Baofeng Lake to end off the day and vice versa.

04:10 - Baofeng Lake

04:48 - Tianzi Mountain
We’re now in Zhangjiajie City! Not in the National Park anymore.
*Route 1 vs Route 2 — This is important, it’s either you wanna walk up 999 (Renald claims it’s less than 999 steps) steps or you wanna walk down the 999 steps.

We hope you get to experience the BESTEST of ZJJ, just like how we did! :’-)
