Потрясающая поездка в Джанцзяцзе!
Великолепный тур, великолепные горы, великолепный гид Abbie! Ездили с женой и семейной парой друзей. Первый раз в Китае. Когда собирались, гадали, что нас ждёт, но реальность оказалась выше всяких ожиданий. Инфраструктура на высшем уровне, организация туризма вызывает уважение. Как быстро тут справляются с гигантскими очередями - фантастика. Да, людей и очередей много, всё-таки сезон, но, опять же, за счёт организации потоков туристов, этого чаще всего просто не замечаешь. Виды - просто бомба! Это невероятно красиво! Везде, куда ни глянь. Одно дело смотреть фильм, другое - увидеть это всё вживую. Рекомендую Джанцзяцзе однозначно тем, кто любит природу, потрясающие виды, горы и классную атмосферу. Отдельное спасибо гиду Эбби. Всё рассказывает, при этом как-то ничего лишнего, всё по делу, и очень интересно. Ответила на все наши вопросы. Учла все наши пожелания в течение каждого дня. Как-то умудрялась провести нас 'тайными' тропам на некоторых маршрутам, чтоб было меньше туристов и лучше виды. Подарила нам приятные памятные подарки. Мне вообще принесла из дома китайских монеток (я коллекционирую, но тут нигде не найти). Очень обходительная и внимательная, и мне лично это очень непривычно после всех других гидов в других местах. Она даже запомнила в первый день предпочтения по кофе, у всех разные, и утром откуда-то нам его доставала заранее. Очень приятные впечатления, но мне иногда было жалко её, что так с нами возится :( Гиду 10 с плюсом по пятибальной шкале однозначно. В общем, писать могу ещё очень много, но, наверное, закончу тем, что всё было просто супер! Спасибо! more

Natural wonders
What a beautiful area Zhangjiajie is! Our guide Anna was very thoughtful and took the time to show us her favourite places away from the crowds. We loved the views and walking trails in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and the wonderful Tianmen Mountain. Make sure you include this place in your China holiday. We highly recommend China Highlights - they will tailor make an itinerary based on your interests and will take really good care of you. more

Suggested Itinerary
Becoming popular, this new area's top viewpoints include Tianbofu and the Natural Great Wall. Narrow and towering natural walls of rock, different from typical Zhangjiajie pillars, are its distinguishing feature.
Tianbofu 6:30 pm © Andy BealesHave a short walk to photo 'Spirit Soldiers Meeting' and 'Sky Field Garden'. 'Sky Field Garden' is a rice paddy area, farmed by local people and hanging on an outcrop, surrounded by Zhangjiajie's classic towers.
Famous and popular for its Hallelujah Mountain, named after Avatar's floating rocks, pictures of 'First Bridge in the World' from 'Viewing Bridge Platform' (Wangqiaotai) are a bonus. Afternoon is the best time to photograph the Yuanjiajie area. To avoid crowds and a better light, your guide will take you there around 5:00 pm.
First Bridge in the World 5:38 pm © Andy BealesTianzi Shan ('Heaven Son Mountain') is a fabulous location for seeing Zhangjiajie pillars among the sea of clouds. A lot of Zhangjiajie photography blockbusters are created there. Get inspired!
Start early to avoid crowds and to catch the morning mists. All the photographic locations are within a short distance. You can stay in McDonald's ("the best restaurant on the mountains"!) to enjoy some coffee or upload your photos when you are free. Enjoy a familiar Western breakfast.

The Best Time to Go
Zhangjiajie's classic scenery is pillars in the sea of clouds. The best times for foggy peaks are a day or two after rain in April to June or September to November. July and August have much fewer chances to see the clouds. The phenomen can last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on wind, temperature, etc. May Day and Chinese National Day holidays (the first weeks of May and October) are strongly NOT recommended.
The Weather
The weather plays a very important role in a photography tour. Your guide is flexible, and can make appropriate changes based on the weather, after discussion with you. If you meet some bad weather for photography, your guide will try his best to take you to the place best suited to the weather conditions.
Hotel Conditions
In the mountains of Zhangjiajie are very basic. Usually there is only a simple Chinese breakfast including rice porridge, pickles, and steamed buns. Your guide will prepare instant coffee and some bread. Hotels adjacent to the park in Wulingyuan offer better conditions.
Luggage Transfer
From downtown Zhangjiajie to the national park is 20 RMB per piece of luggage. Transfer to Wulingyuan Town is 30 RMB per piece. If you stay in the city on the first and last days, you can leave your excess luggage in your downtown hotel.
National Park Transport
Free shuttle buses run 8am–5:30pm, and the last paid bus is 7pm. You will need to rent a low-comfort local van for sunrise or sunset trips. We will do our best to arrange the best transport for you.
Meet Top Photographer in Zhangjiajie
Mr. Zhou Mingfa, One of top photographers in Zhangjiajie, lives at Tianzi Mountain area and his family run a shop that sell his photography book and post card. If you are lucky, you may meet him at the shop. It is good to have a chat with him.
