Review

Notice

Everyone knows that Zhangjiajie is a city that often rains, but please don’t worry about the bad scenery after it rains. The scenery in the rain in Zhangjiajie is just as wonderful.



Aizhai Bridge


Being a highway bridge, Aizhai Bridge is one of the longest bridges in the world. It crosses the Dehang Grand Canyon and spans 1,176 meters, making it an engineering marvel in China. Other than a suspension bridge that conquered the natural barriers and created a thoroughfare, Aizhai Bridge in China offers a great platform for tourists to experience the magnificent views and gems of wisdom of human beings.

Overview of Aizhai Bridge

As a marvelous grand bridge with a long span in China, the construction of the Aizhai Bridge was not easy. The steep valley, complex terrain, villainous climate, and bad transportation made it difficult to build a bridge. The project started in October 2007 and finished in March 2012, with the constructors’ brilliant techniques and spirit of selfless dedication.

The Aizhai Bridge adopts a unique structural design, which is a completely separated structure of the towers and beams. Built according to the terrain of the surrounding mountains, the towers and the stiffening steel truss girder directly connect to tunnels on the cliffs. Designed based on geological conditions, the tunnel anchors and gravity anchors are in harmony with the surrounding landscapes




Zhangjiajie 

National Forest Park



Zhangjiajie is located in central China, northwest Hunan Province, over 1,000 kilometers from both Shanghai and Beijing. Zhangjiajie is famous for its precarious peaks, limpid streams, dense forests, and large karst caves. It was thrust into foreigner travelers' eyes after the movie Avatar. The Hallelujah Mountains in Avatar were inspired by Heavenly Pillar in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. In 1982, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park became China's first national forest park. 




Tianmen Mountain


Tianmen Mountain takes its name after Tianmen Cave, a natural karst cave under the mountain. The mountain is relatively gentle, full of old trees, winding vines, mosses, stalagmites, sits upon 494 acres. The rare mountaintop scenery makes it the most beautiful sky garden over the world. The principal attraction on Tianmen Mountain, Tianmen Cave is a grand karst cave 431 feet high, 187 feet wide and 197 feet deep spanning under the mountain. From afar, the cave looks like a way up to the heaven. Hence it got the name, Tianmen, meaning Heavenly Door. The cableway in Tianmen Mountain is the world's longest at a length of 7,455 meters. It begins in the City Garden downtown, and ends on the summit.



Bailong Elevator


With a vertical height of 335 meters and a running height of 326 meters, Bailong Elevator is acknowledged as the highest sightseeing elevator in the world. It mainly contains two parts in structure: 154 meters’ solid well inside the mountains and 172 meters’ steel derrick against the mountains. Bailong Elevator goes up and down very fast with a speed of 5 meters per second, which can finish a height of 326 meters within 66 seconds. It connects Yuanjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, Golden Whip Stream and other main scenic areas together.



Fenghuang 

Ancient Town 



Fenghuang Ancient Town, aka Phoenix Ancient Town and Feng Huang Gu Cheng in Chinese, is situated on the western boundary of Hunan Province in an area of outstanding natural beauty where mountains, water and blue skies prevail. 'Fenghuang' is Chinese for 'Phoenix', the mythical bird of good omen and longevity that is consumed by fire to be re-born again from the flames. It is so called as legend has it that two of these fabulous birds flew over it and found the Fenghuang Town so beautiful that they hovered there, reluctant to leave.


Fenghuang Ancient Town is the subject of a Chinese ink painting with elegant pavilions, peaceful water, splendid hanging houses and verdant mountains. The town has kept its original appearance and flavor from its inception 300 years ago. It is no wonder that a New Zealand writer claimed the town as one of the most beautiful cities in China.



Golden Whip Stream


Sceneries along the Golden Whip Stream are most enchanting in the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. This stream, which is 5.7 kilometers long, is named after the Golden Whip Rock that it flows by. Golden Whiplash Rock rises 380 meters above water. The whole rock is made of quartz sand which reflects the golden light of the sunshine. The main attraction spots here include: the Welcoming Guests Rock, Golden Whip Rock, Reunion Rock and the Purple Grass Pond.




Grand Canyon Glass Bridge


Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, aka Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon skywalk, is the world’s longest and highest glass bridge, hanging over Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. Looking from a distance, it looks like a piece of white silk floating between the clouds and fog, hence it is also called Yuntiandu, meaning “a way of clouds to the sky”. It is 430 meters long and  is paved with transparent glass, to give visitors an extremely thrilling feeling and a better perspective of sightseeing.



Tianzi Mountians


Tianzi Mountain provides stunning views of peaks, which rise one after another. It is known as 'the Monarch of the Peak Forest'. At the top of the mountain, you can see the full extent of the Wulingyuan Scenic Area. There are four wonders: the Sea of Clouds, the Radiance of the Moonlight, Rays of Sunshine and the Snow in winter.
