The Zhangjiajie area belonged to Chaotian Mountain in ancient times. It was named after Zhang Zaihong, a native of Chongzhen City in the Ming Dynasty, who was "entrusted as a regimental officer" and set up his government office here. Zhangjiajie was also called Mazhaoling. In 1958, the state-owned Zhangjiajie Forest Farm was established. In 1982, it was approved by the State Council as China's first national forest park.

The topography of Zhangjiajie:

The strata of Zhangjiajie City are complex and diverse, creating a unique local landscape. There are mainly mountains, karsts, hills, hills and plains, etc. The mountainous area accounts for 76% of the total area. The most distinctive one is the quartz sandstone peak forest landform, which is rare in the world. The terrain of the city is high in the northwest and slopes toward the southeast along the Lishui River.

Another prominent manifestation in urban areas is that due to the rise of the earth's crust, the downward cutting effect of streams has increased, and there is no time to widen the rivers, causing the river valleys to form valleys and canyons. The valley bottom of the river is extremely linear, with steep walls and many shoals. The source of the Lishui River in Zhangjiajie City, the upper reaches of the Mushui River, and the Maoyan River section all have this kind of valley landform.
