The Jingzhou Museum is a remarkable historical museum situated in South China, which showcases relics dating back over 5000 years. It boasts of free entry and features a splendid garden for visitors to stroll through. Despite the advantage of free admission, local visitors may cause some noise within the premises. This museum is dedicated to displaying artifacts and objects that preserve the rich cultural heritage of State Chu, an ancient kingdom that existed for 800 years.
The Jingzhou Museum, located in Jingzhou, Hubei Province—my hometown—has a history of 2,500 years and is a comprehensive museum featuring the culture of the ancient State of Chu. We are the descendants of Chu, and the museum preserves treasures from the Warring States period such as bronze ware, lacquered woodware, silk, bamboo slips, and the famous Tiger Seat Drum with Dragon and Phoenix. Admission is free. Its most renowned exhibits include the Sword of King Goujian of Yue, ancient silk, and Chu bamboo slips—among which the restoration of both silk and bamboo slips ranks among the most advanced in China. I warmly welcome you to visit my hometown and explore the Jingzhou Museum.

Well. Jingzhou is my hometown. I really would be proud to introduce this place to everyone. It’s a small lively city with very long history. If you are interested in what happened 2000 years ago on this land. You should definitely go and check out. However, the city is also well known of its good food, good combination of trading frontage culture and historical stories. I would recommend a stay and just walk around this cute place. I love it, and hope you will love it, too.

(Translated by Google) The ruins are located among fields, with green grass and storks flying around. It is a rare experience to be able to visit the city of our ancestors thousands of years ago in person, see the monuments from that time and place, and go back in history. However, it is not advisable to expect too much, otherwise you will inevitably feel regretful. One is to be big and small. It is said that the scenic spots are too scattered. It takes at least half an hour to walk from the gate to the exhibition hall and then to the ruins. In Shaodang, the density of exhibits is pitifully diluted relative to its distance. Second, the service is worrisome. I don’t know everything about the vehicle information. I don’t know anything about the layout of the showroom. In the end, I can’t explain it to you. You’ll know it once you go in and take a look. Although it adds a lot of suspense, it is still hardly a qualified experience. The third is to pull the flag. From the gate to the midpoint of the central axis of the exhibition hall, there is a huge stone engraved with the calligraphy of the late Chairman. I think he borrowed a lot of money for the project, so it should be listed as one of the virtues. The fourth is that the confusion cannot be solved. Why is it named the earliest city, how to define a city, how to prove it is the earliest, I still have doubts after traveling. Maybe it's not the attraction's fault, but Danny's lack of talent. (Original) 遗址位于田野之间,绿草如茵,鹳鹤绕飞。能亲至数千年前先人城池,查看彼时古迹于此时此地,回到历史,算是难得的体验。然不宜期待过甚,否则难免有抱憾之感。 一曰大而少当。谓大因其景点过于分散,自大门到展馆再到遗址,步行少则需时半小时。少当则因相对其距离而言,展品密度被稀释得堪称可怜。 二曰服务堪忧。车辆信息一问三不知,展厅布设一问三不知,到头来一句,跟你们解释不清,进去看就知道了。虽然增加了不少悬疑感,但仍然很难说是合格体验。 三曰扯皮拉旗。自大门到展馆中轴线中点附近,有巨石刻先主席墨宝,想来为项目多拉贷款不少,应列为德政其一。 四曰解惑不得。为何号为最早的城市,如何定义城市,如何证明最早,游后仍然心生疑窦。或许这不是景点的锅,只因丹尼天资不足而致。

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Nature & Parks
Canyons
Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is a breathtaking landmark known for its world-renowned glass bridge, offering stunning panoramic views. The bridge connects two hilltops with a thrilling glass-bottomed section, providing an exhilarating experience for visitors. While the bridge is a major draw, the canyon itself offers much more to explore, including vibrant blue rivers, unique wildlife, and traditional Chinese attractions like slides and boat rides. Visitors can also trek through the valley to witness magnificent rock formations and waterfalls.
I arrived thinking that my ticket to the national park would work here, but it's a separate ticket. I chose line b with the glass bridge. It's an impressive structure and quite cool walking over it. The sightseeing elevator was underwhelming after going down the Bailong elevator already. We did the 3.5km walk to the exit and it was stunning! Well worth it. There are various places to stop along the way to get food and drinks.
Helen M — Google review
I’ve always been amazed by the universe, but this place made me realize: what mankind creates is one of the true values we bring to the world. Without this ability, we would never be able to explore such extraordinary places. This bridge is a testament to what human engineering can achieve — the longest and highest glass bridge in the world, spanning 266 meters. Standing on it, I felt as if man is the universe, and the world is but a blank page, waiting to be imagined and shaped. It’s an absolute must-visit. You could easily spend the entire day uncovering the hidden gems woven into this one-of-a-kind place.
Soraya T — Google review
Was a unique half day family experience for us. We have bought a combined ticket of the glass bridge and 5 attractions. Children and elderly received discounted ticket. You need to have passport to be able to buy a ticket. If you take a taxi, ask to bring you directly to the glass bridge entrance that is higher located than the main entrance. But you can reach the glass bridge from lower gate by using free shuttle bus. We initially intended to visit only the glass bridge, but we were very satisfied to have the combined one in the end. After glass bridge we visited Virtual reality view in baloon (you will receive hygienic one use towels on your face). Next we entered down and up the elevator. Third was zipline to.cross the canyon. Was actually very safe and pleasant also for our elderly group member. Please note that children under 30 kg weight are not enter the zip line! So please check in advance the restrictions for After we moved over to the other side by zipline, we tried the multi level slide. Before sliding, we got equiped with sliding trousers and hand gloves. Right after you can have rest in the near by buffet. Then we transerred on last attraction- the boat- to our final destination- walk in the Grand canyon. This was amazingly comfortable with beautiful views on the smaragd coloured green water. The walk is not difficult and has antislippery surface on most of the wooden bridge pathways. We had to wear raincoats on some parts of the walk due to rain. There is a colourfully lighted cave as well and toilettes. Overall was a very pleasant family experience. On day of our visit the place was not crowded and it took as 4 to 5 hours to enjoy everything without time pressure.Recommend to inquire in your hotel to help you to purchase the tickets. Please note that the Grand canyon is located around 30 min by car from the Zhangjiajie national forrest park and you need to buy a separate entrance ticket.
Ivana D — Google review
The glass bridge maybe the postcard of this attraction, but the gorge and canyon itself is breathtaking. A blending of man made outdoor activities with stunning natural gorge surrounding, make it even more exciting to visit. The park layout design is interesting, visitors enter at the highest point of the canyon, then hiking or a combination of hiking and joining rides on a one way path towards the park exit. For those seeking adrenaline rush, bungee jumping, zip lining over a deep and vast canyon and sliding are fun activities and act as means of transportation (taking you to next location on the one way route). For those who prefer a less heart beating activity, can choose to pay for a fast elevator down or to hike several hundred meters down an almost vertical trail. Once you are at the bottom of the canyon, there is a wonderful 3 kilometers trail zipping along the stream that leads you to the boat pier. There is an outdoor cafe, partially under rock wall by where you can have coffee and relax. There is a small "bandit" cave with colorful lighting on the trail. The final section is a 10 minute boat cruise on the serene lake. The park is some 30 minutes away from Wulingyan Zhangjiajie national park. It's worth adding half a day or another full day in the itinerary.

When staying in Zhangjiajie make sure to visit the Grand Canyon and Glass Bridge! The facilities are good (toiletry, lunch areas, tourist shops) and plenty of vending machines available for cold refreshments. Highly recommend the Glass Bridge, Slide and boat trip as well as walking whole Route B.
Jurian — Google review
When planning your visit to Zhangjiajie, you absolutely have to see the Grand Canyon and Glass Bridge! The entire experience is wonderful. The facilities, including restrooms, lunch spots, and tourist shops, are well-maintained, and there are plenty of vending machines to grab a cold drink. For the best experience, I highly recommend walking the entirety of Route B, which includes the thrilling Glass Bridge and Slide, followed by a relaxing boat trip. The scenery is breathtaking, but I suggest going on a cooler day to fully enjoy the long walk.

The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is a large outdoor activity area where the main feature is the world's longest glass suspension bridge that spans across the grand canyon giving tourists a thrilling crossing over the canyon where you can see all the way to the bottom. Aside from this, there are also zip lines, outdoor elevators as well as narrow cliff side walkways and bungee jumping for the thrill seeking adventurers.
Richard F — Google review
Do take the boat ride & walk out the Canyon after the bridge, the best part of the trip for me was the walk along the river out & not the bridge. There is a nice cafe in the middle of the trail out. An awesome place to have a cuppa.

Yellow Dragon Cave Kindergarten

Kindergarten
Nature & Parks
Geologic Formations
Yellow Dragon Cave Kindergarten is a must-visit attraction in Zhangjiajie, China. It boasts gigantic halls and spectacular pathways that leave a lasting impression on visitors. A boat ride along the river adds to the experience. However, there are some concerns about artificial enhancements to the stalagmites and the overwhelming presence of guided tour groups creating a noisy atmosphere. The cave's brightly colored lighting may also give off a Disneyland-like vibe, but it remains an impressive and beautiful underground marvel worth exploring.
Largest underground cave I ever visited my problem with this review is which photos and pictures should I select to put along with this post . It took us 20 min from our hotel to reach to cave area , then very long walk to main entrance of the cave many stories been told by our guide like the 2 doors they believe one for happiness and one for long life , then short boat ride go and back about 10 min, amazing views , huge cave , they put lighting make cave more lively and beautiful should visit is you are in Zhangjiajie .
Ayman N — Google review
Physically challenging, and I won't recommend to anyone with bad knees, unfit or elderly persons. Visited this Yellow Dragon Cave (Huanglongdong) on Monday, 11 March 2024, as the original optional tour "Fairy Fox Show" was cancelled (under renovations). Only a short boat ride (less than 10 mins) inside the cave, but there's a long treacherous walk up and down the narrow, steep, wet, slippery steps uphill and downhill... There's a total of 4 stages of physically demanding walking after the boat ride. Stage 3 is the resting point and short cut to the cave exit. But even that, it's still a long 20-30 mins walk from Stage 3 to the exit. Kindly take note that the "rude" young lady cave Guide will not allow anyone to turn back and drop out, and will try to coax everyone to complete this long physically challenging cave walk.
Wilson C — Google review
One of the world largest stalactites and stalagmites formation in the world inside this cave. It was a large cave and lots of steps like more than 500 steps required to walk thru out with combination of walking and boat ride. Not so special as the lighting rather too much and colorful. Cost RMB 100 per person to enter and do remind yourself it is warm inside the cave especially when you come in winter that you wear lots of winter clothing. Walk for 2.5 hours with guided tour over 4.5km distance can be a challenge for many. Some of the stalactites and stalagmites was huge and there over million of years.. you can skip if you don’t have time to visit as there are many similar one in the world!
Andrew G — Google review
Huanglongdong or Yellow Dragon Cave is a last minute replacement Option to our original Fairy Fox Show (ongoing renovations) under our Zhangjiajie Tour package. I don't recommend this option tour for elderly persons, unfit or anyone with weak knees. There's a long hike thru steep, narrow, and wet stairs (numerous up and down stairs) after the short boat ride. There's NO TURNING BACK. Go at your own risk.

Charming Xiangxi Grand Theatre

The Charming Xiangxi Grand Theatre is a must-visit attraction in Zhangjiajie, offering a captivating cultural experience. The theater itself is grand and majestic, resembling a bright city with its classical style. The show features impressive acrobatics, ethnic song and dance performances that showcase the rich culture, art, and folk customs of the Tujia ethnic group.
Charming Xiangxi show is probably one of the most amazing things I've seen. In total they have 28 different performances with each show being just a handful of them. However the show is so beautiful, powerful, emotional and breathtaking. The skills or the performers are amazing and the choreography is as well. The show is split into an indoor and outdoor part. Although I wasn't able to watch the whole of the outdoor show due to heavy rain, what I did watch took my breathe away. The whole show is immersive with the whole of the theatre getting taken over. If you are visiting this area, I highly recommend going to the show. You wouldn't want to miss it!

Got our tickets from our tour guide. Didn't want to go at 1st but guide mentioned that we had to watch and he even threw in a money back guarantee. In the end, he was right. The indoor segment had us glued to our seats with the colourful and beautiful routines. The performance had the mixture of story telling, acrobatics and cultural singing with their awesome costumes displayed all at once. Worth every cent! The outdoor segment of the performance was so-so, but still ok to watch due to the costumes

The show combines musical masterpieces from across the 5 indigenous cultures of the area. It is beautiful, exhilarating and magical with it's unique songs, energetic stunning and comical acrobatics. They provided English translation for the performances and each performance selects 5 out of the 28 pieces that they have prepared, so each is unique. Definitely worth a visit on an evening to enjoy the local culture after a day in the mountains. We were not fans of the demonstration directly after, as it was VERY LOUD over the speakers and there was no translation for the calligraphy demonstration. That aside, the show is phenomenal and cannot recommend it enough.

Charming Xiangxi (魅力湘西) is a breathtaking theatrical spectacle that brings to life the vibrant cultural heritage of Western Hunan through an immersive blend of song, dance, acrobatics, and storytelling. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Zhangjiajie's natural landscapes, the show offers a multisensory experience that goes beyond entertainment to have a lasting connection with ethnic minority cultures. Directed by Feng Xiaogang, the performance stands out for its authentic portrayal of local ethnic people, "Charming Xiangxi" leaves audiences both exhilarated and deeply moved, making it far more than a cultural show - it's an unforgettable performance not to be missed.

Great theatre and great location right in the centre of town. The booking office is on another building next to the theatre but very conveniently located. The staff are helpful and service is fast.

One of the best show experiences! Worth every penny of the ticket price (which I bought beforehand on Klook). The show separated into 4-5 parts/short stories of folklores. Some can be more interesting than the others but overall is a great experiences. Don't miss it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The show was amazing! It begins indoors with stunning singing and dancing—definitely worth getting the VIP seats to enjoy the action up close. The narrator only spoke in Chinese, which was a bit limiting if you don’t understand, but the visuals more than made up for it. After the indoor performance, you’re taken outside for a breathtaking finale, including extreme acts like fire throwing! Highly recommend going in the evening, not the afternoon it gets way too hot otherwise. An unforgettable experience overall.

(Translated by Google) They are supposedly dedicated to the protection of the giant salamander, but they have an area where it can be consumed, there was even a photo of a salamander on a plate with garnish. Shameful. (Original) Se supone que se dedican a la protección de la salamandra gigante, pero tienen una zona donde se puede consumir, hasta había una foto de una salamandra en un plato con guarnición. Vergonzoso.

(Translated by Google) I went and it was closed. There was a woman at the ticket counter, but she couldn't explain anything to me because she only spoke Chinese and refused to use a translator. After five minutes, she made a call and sent me a QR code to pay without explaining anything, so I left. (Original) Fui y estaba cerrado. Había una mujer en taquillas pero no acertó a explicarme nada porque solo hablaba chino y ella no quería usar el traductor. Después de 5 minutos hizo una llamada y me puso un QR para que le pagase sin explicarme nada, así que me fui.

Baofeng Lake

Bodies of Water
Nestled within the Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area, Baofeng Lake, also known as Baofeng Hu, offers stunning water scenery just 3.5 km from the Wulingyuan Sign Gate of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. This tranquil attraction provides a perfect opportunity to unwind amidst nature after a day of hiking in the area. The lake is renowned for its turquoise waters set against picturesque karst landscapes.
I got the coach here as part of my group tour. We went on the boat on the lake which was amazing. The views were breathtaking as it is surrounded by mountains. There were people on the lake who would sing or interact with this which made the experience more interactive. If you're visiting Zhangjiajie, I highly recommend coming to the lake. If you go in the morning there will be less queues for the boats. It is also worth walking around the entrance that leads up to the lake. There you will find a small performance, Monkey King statue, people dresses in traditional Xi'an clothing and a giant salamander enclosure.

Scenery is good, for 20 minutes boat ride. We don’t need to queue. There are locals sings while you passed the area. Lake is very clean, deep turquoise color like glass. There is Sun Wu Kong statue near the waterfall and salamander park. It’s cool but I think Tianmen Mountain is more worthy to visit 😉

Sweet little stopover on the way to Zhangjiajie. We were lucky to go on off-peak season, so we didn't have to queue for the shuttle bus up to the lake. The boat trip lasts around half an hour and you drift by beautiful mountain scenes and they have a couple of indigenous boats that have singers serenade you with local songs as you float by. There are also some resident comorants perched up with a fisherman. There is lovely waterfall down the bottom and a pond with salamanders (admittedly it would be nicer to see them in a more suitable enclosure, as they are a lot larger than I imagined!!) It would have been nice to spend more time in the area to appreciate any hikes.

Really, skip this if you must. Not worth the entrance fee. They do not offer concessional tkts to foreign seniors - a real scam as in general Chinese attractions do not discriminate as such. Even the signboards do not state as such. Short cruise, long queues, smallish lake, sceneries not particularly impressive.

If it's compared to the great Tianmen and Tianzi Mountain, Baofeng lake is just ok. The trip was short and there's waterfall nearby, the shooting location from Journey to the West film. If you have tight schedule, you can skip it

Do something else. The waterfall, the lake, the everything is made up. The boat ride is 20 mins with 30 seconds of someone singing -which you can barely hear. The staff is nice, but they can only do so much on a lake from a dam. Save your money, just go back to Zangjiajia or Tianmen. Literally anything else in the area is a good us eof your long trip to get here.

Honestly, quite disappointing. The whole thing felt really fake - the actual lake is artificial so it just looks like an unatural flooded valley - becasue it is (and probably caused a ton of environmental damage). And then you go round on the boat past some people in costumes singing, which I know is symbolic and traditional but the way you just go past looking at them feels really inauthentic, like you're on a theme park ride. It was pretty I guess. I went in mid March and all the walking paths were closed, so literally the only thing you can do is go on a 5 minute bus, 20 minute boat and then bus back. There's a waterfall section with museum too but that's so small it can be seen in way less than 30 mins. So for ¥95 (for entry plus boat) it was not good value, felt like an inauthentic theme park and just boring. Wish I'd gone back into Zhangjiajie National Park instead.

Beautiful, scenic and picturesque lake in Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie. If you go on a misty day, you can enjoy a Chinese landscape painting coming to life with the ethereal and mythical aura enclosing the locale. This is an artificial fresh-water reservoir created by blocking gorge and building dam in the 1970s
