These are some related strategies about Zhangjiajie. You can also take a look when you go. Now the editor will tell you the most suitable time to go to Zhangjiajie, what clothes you should wear when going to Zhangjiajie, and what you need to pay attention to when playing.

What to wear

Zhangjiajie has a large temperature difference between day and night, but the temperature difference between the four seasons is relatively small. The temperature difference between the core scenic area of ??Zhangjiajie and the urban area is about 5-10°C, with the hottest time being 39°C in the urban area and 30°C in the scenic area. The best time to travel to Zhangjiajie is from March to May.

April-June, September-November: In spring and autumn, the temperature in the mountains is lower than in the city. In early summer, you still need to wear long-sleeved clothes and pants, and you should cover yourself with a quilt when sleeping at night to keep warm. Especially in May, there is often rainy season, so remember to bring an umbrella or a raincoat.

July-August, December-February: It is very cold in the mountains in summer, so be careful about sun protection in the city; in winter, it will snow in the mountains, so you can bring trekking poles, wear non-slip shoes, and keep warm.

Travel tips

1. There are many ticket stations in the Forest Park, so do not go to Yangjiajie and Tianzishan ticket stations. It's too far, the road is in bad condition, and the journey is bumpy. It is recommended to enter from Forest Park. If you don’t live in the mountains, it is recommended to stay in Wulingyuan in the next few days. It is a small town that stands out from Wulingyuan tickets and has a very good environment. It is very convenient and quick to enter and exit the forest park from Wulingyuan.

2. There are not many people queuing at various bus stations in the scenic area. Try to reserve as much time as possible. The basic queuing time is more than half an hour.

3. If your physical strength is still good and you don’t want to wait in line to take the Bailong Elevator, you can walk up the mountain casually and walk slowly without stopping for an hour.

4. It is strongly recommended to take the Shili Gallery route up or down the mountain. There are countless viewing platforms on the road with excellent scenery. Throw the observation deck on the mountain a few blocks away and there will be fewer people. Just look and take pictures. I think the scenery in the Shili Gallery train section is the most common on the entire line, and it is also the section where most tourist groups visit.

5. Tianmen Mountain’s special reminder is that during the off-season, people line up at 4 a.m. in the peak season, saying that the cable car only leaves at 7:30. Anyway, at about 1 o'clock that afternoon, I passed by the entrance of the ropeway company in a car. There were thousands of people in the greenhouse downstairs. I don’t know how many people were lined up in the building, but I can only sigh that the charm of Asia’s No. 1 ropeway is really great.

6. Everyone knows that the best place to watch the sunrise is at the Daguan Platform, but in fact, seeing clouds and rainbows requires more luck. Usually when it rains the night before, you'll be lucky enough to see one. If you love photography, you can first refer to the weather.
