Zhangjiajie map reviews

★★★★★

Went to Zhangjiajie with friends in February. This map is a lifesaver! It has everything: buses, trails, timings. Names in English and Chinese — I showed them to drivers and they understood right away. Planned the entire 4-day route straight from the map.

The best Zhangjiajie map I've seen. Very informative and detailed. I spent a long time searching for something like this — others either had too few details or were English-only. This one has everything you need for an independent trip!

Went to the Avatar Mountains as a group of 5. Without this map we would have wasted hours — the park is huge. Visa-free entry to China made the trip really easy to organise. The map let us plan every day down to the minute.

The Glass Bridge in Zhangjiajie is online-only — this map helped me split the days correctly. The marked cafes were important too, food inside the park is expensive. Everything you need for four days. I bought it for the whole group!

Picked up the map before my November trip to Zhangjiajie. In winter the park is almost empty — it was stunning! The map stopped me from getting lost on Tianzishan. Big bonus: the extra city and Tianmen Mountain maps with routes A and B.

Up-to-date Zhangjiajie National Park map

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (张家界国家森林公园) is one of the most striking natural sites in China and the world. Located in Hunan Province, the park became globally famous after James Cameron's Avatar — its sandstone pillars inspired the floating mountains of Pandora. Today Zhangjiajie welcomes millions of tourists from every country every year.

Why you need an up-to-date Zhangjiajie map

The park covers a huge area inside the Wulingyuan scenic zone (武陵源). Navigating without a detailed map is extremely difficult: Google Maps is blocked in China, and standard maps don't show walking trails, cable cars or timings between points. There are plenty of Zhangjiajie maps online — but most are outdated, incomplete or unreadable. This map brings everything together in one place: current routes, schedules, prices, bus stops, cable cars and elevators. The most informative park map we could find in China — readable, convenient, comprehensive. As a bonus to the main park map you also get a Zhangjiajie city map and a Tianmen Mountain (Heaven's Gate) map with routes A and B for ticket selection. Names are in English and Chinese — convenient for showing to park staff and drivers.

Spend day one on the Yuanjiajie plateau with Avatar Hallelujah Mountain and ride the Bailong Elevator, the tallest outdoor elevator in the world (326 m). Dedicate day two to Tianzishan Mountain with the Ten-Mile Gallery and the Yellow Dragon Cave. On day three visit the Glass Bridge over the Grand Canyon (430 m, tickets online only) and the picturesque Baofeng Lake. Day four is for Yangjiajie or the Huangshi Zhai panorama platform.
