Nestled in Hunan Province, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park—a UNESCO Global Geopark—continues to captivate travelers with its surreal sandstone pillars, lush valleys, and adrenaline-pumping attractions. Recent visitor footage showcases why this region remains a crown jewel of China's tourism landscape.
Scaling New Heights
The iconic 999-step 'Stairway to Heaven' offers a physical challenge rewarded with panoramic views of the park's otherworldly formations. Nearby, the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge—certified by Guinness World Records as the world's longest and highest glass-bottomed bridge—tests visitors' nerves at 430 meters long and 300 meters above ground.
Cultural Tapestry
Evening brings traditional Tujia and Miao ethnic performances to local villages, where fire dances and hand-woven textile demonstrations highlight the area's rich cultural heritage. Food stalls serve regional specialties like sanxiaguo (three-pot stew) and heye baba (lotus leaf rice cakes).
Extreme Horizons
Adventure seekers now flock to Tianmen Mountain for legal wingsuit flying routes, where experienced jumpers soar between the park's towering karst spires. Park authorities emphasize strict safety protocols for all extreme activities.
