Zhangjiajie with Wendy from China Highlights was a 5 star adventure!
All of these attractions were worth visiting and it was a double pleasure to have had China Highlights planning the trip for us and asking our lovely tour guide Wendy and our lovely driver to be our companions. It would have been so hard navigating around the area and conquering the queues without them, especially Wendy. Our tour guide was a gem. She taught us to be vigilant and adamant when queuing and taking no crap from anyone.'Run for the buses and get a seat' was the daily motto . Wendy has the gift of taking fantastic photos of her clients and making sure that we didn't miss a moment anywhere we went. Wendy was attending to our needs (especially with food, drinks and additional ticket bookings) whenever and wherever possible and she was always there to help. I had forgotten something in the hotel room and she made sure I got it back. Wendy and the driver were such lovely people and we had the pleasure being accompanied by them. Lucky us, I say. I can definitely recommend Wendy as a tour guide and happy to give 5 star more

Great Scenery and experience
We had 4 days in Zhangjiajie early in our 28 day tour of China which was perfectly curated by Leah Zhou of China Highlights. Zhangjiajie has spectacular scenery and fun activities . Being early in the season we benefited from tourist numbers being low . Two other aspects made our time so memorable were our accommodation at the Annica Tourism Resort and our guide, Lily Lee, who went beyond what was required (at her own inconvenience and to the detriment of her family) to make our stay really special 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.
Have 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.
Tianzi 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.
Trip Notes
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.
