How wide is Zhangjiajie Chongshan Highway? Can I drive myself?

It lives next to the famous Tianmen Mountain, only a few miles away. This is a little-known "secret" among foreign travelers and the birthplace of Zhangjiajie's history and culture. Looking down at the mountains from the sky, the most striking thing is the winding road, which is extremely dangerous and passes through the clouds.

Chongshan and the adjacent Tianmen Mountain, Qixing Mountain, Xiongbiyan Mountain and Xianrenxi Mountain form the core tourism economic circle of Yongding County in Zhangjiajie and an urban tourism development pattern with complementary functions.
