Bailong Elevator

Purchasing tickets for Zhangjiajie National Forest Park through Klook this time was, overall, a simple and convenient process, but there are a few important things I would like to remind fellow travelers about. When booking, you must provide identification document details (such as a Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents or a Mainland Resident Identity Card). You can then pass through the turnstiles directly using your ID upon entry without needing to exchange tickets, which is very convenient. It is worth noting that the morning time slots for the East Gate are in extremely high demand, especially Line B, so it is recommended to buy them as soon as they go on sale. It is also advisable to book Line A at least a week in advance to avoid missing out. Another easily overlooked issue is that Klook can only reserve the entry location and time slot for the first day; entry arrangements for the second day and beyond cannot be booked in advance and must be handled with staff on-site at the scenic area entrance. However, the morning time slot at the East Gate is extremely popular, making it virtually impossible to secure an on-site reservation. Therefore, it is recommended that when booking through Klook, you schedule your first day's entry at the East Gate, and plan to enter the scenic area through the South Gate or other entrances on subsequent days to avoid disrupting your itinerary. East Gate vs. South Gate Entry Experience We entered through both the East Gate and the South Gate, and the experiences were vastly different. The East Gate was overwhelmingly crowded with a mix of domestic and international travelers. Long lines formed at every shuttle bus transfer point, and we had to wait an entire hour just for the Bailong Elevator. Furthermore, attractions such as Tianzi Mountain and Yuanjiajie are at higher elevations, and when foggy, visibility is extremely low. Famous sights like Imperial Brush Peak and Fairy Presenting Flowers were completely invisible, and Tianzi Pavilion was just a blank, white expanse. In contrast, entry through the South Gate was much less crowded. Although Huangshizhai also had some fog, the visibility was much better than at Tianzi Mountain, and we were still able to enjoy the magnificent stone pillar peaks. The scenery along the Golden Whip Stream is pleasant, and there are many wild monkeys roaming around, which is very entertaining. Recommended Visiting Time It is strongly recommended to reserve at least two days for your visit, and preferably three days. The scenery in Zhangjiajie is heavily influenced by the weather. If you encounter foggy conditions while visiting Huangshizhai or Tianzi Mountain, having a third day allows you to adjust your itinerary or head back up the mountain. Attraction Highlights Tianzi Mountain and Yuanjiajie are famous for their high-altitude stone pillar landscapes, but their high elevation makes them prone to fog. Huangshizhai also features magnificent mountain scenery while being relatively easier to access. The Golden Whip Stream is great for a leisurely stroll, where you can see monkeys and giant salamanders, but the entire trail is quite long. If you are traveling with elderly companions, it is recommended to walk just a short section before turning back.

our tour guide Xu Jun’an was amazing and made our trip smooth and wonderfall. even there was a language barrier, but was not a problem at all as we used wechat for translation. big thanks to this wonderful experience

5/5 – Rekommenderas varmt! Fick ett fantastiskt erbjudande på Klook, och bokningsprocessen var helt smidig. Inlösen av vouchern var enkel och utan problem på platsen. Det sparade både tid och pengar. Kommer definitivt att boka igen!

Vår guide Xiao Zhang var mycket hjälpsam, vänlig och professionell. Både min fru och jag uppskattade det väldigt mycket.

Zoey var vår reseledare under båda dagarna. Hon var mycket tillmötesgående och kommunicerade väl under hela turen. Hon meddelade och påminde oss inte bara om schemat dagen innan och dök upp i tid, utan följde också upp efter varje dags tur för att svara på våra frågor och ge rekommendationer. Hon är den bästa engelsktalande reseledaren vi hade under vår Kina-resa jämfört med andra guider. Vädret var inte det bästa någon av dagarna, men hon gjorde det bästa av situationen och höll oss på gott humör och positiva. Zoey hade fantastisk energi under de två dagarna och var flexibel, samtidigt som hon kunde hålla tiderna så att turen flöt på enligt schema. Vi skattar oss lyckliga som hade henne som vår ledare. Vi kan varmt rekommendera att du ber om att få följa med på hennes tur.

I’m really glad I booked this tour. I was picked up from my hotel, water and a free bumbag was also provided and the service was phenomenal. Archie was an amazing tour guide. he took great care of us and explained every site we visited very well. we also spoke casually and he as a great individual to speak to. I’d highly recommend this tour as you get a lot done.

Ett tekniskt underverk! Att skjuta i höjden längs en enorm, lodrät klippa i en genomskinlig glashiss ger dig en hjärtklappande och häpnadsväckande utsikt över kanjonen nedanför. Supernabb och uppiggande! Representanten hörde av sig på WhatsApp och bekräftade om färden upp/ned samt inträdet fungerade smidigt. Utmärkt bokningsupplevelse.
