When to visit and how long

Best seasons

Spring (Mar–May) and autumn (Sep–Nov) offer the clearest mountain views. Summer has lush scenery but can be hot/humid with occasional fog. Winter is colder but thin on crowds, and snow on Tianzi Mountain is stunning.

How many days

  • 2 days: Tianmen Mountain + one park highlight area.
  • 3 days: Full Forest Park coverage (Tianzi Mountain, Yuanjiajie, Golden Whip Stream).
  • 4 days: Add deeper trails or the Glass Bridge.
  • 5–6 days: Add Furong Town, You River Gallery or Fenghuang Ancient Town.

Logistics cheatsheet

  • Airports & pick-ups: Zhangjiajie Hehua Airport (DYG) is the main entry; private tours include airport/train pick-up & drop-off with full-route coordination.
  • Where to stay:
    • Wulingyuan – Best for National Forest Park access; quiet and scenic.
    • Zhangjiajie City – Close to Tianmen Mountain + airport convenience.
