5.0 Zhuzhou Fantawild Dreamland (31 reviews)
- Great way break up trip with young family
Amusement & Theme Parks

Fantawild Dreamland was a great theme park for me and my 6 year old who was a bit tired of natural parks and foreign food. It was a weekday and the park was empty which was great as there were no lines and we went in everything multiple times. We had never heard of the Boonie Bears before the trip to China but now they are a favourite. The attractions are comparable to Disneyland Hong Kong. All rides were in Mandarin but we did not care.

4.5 Fenghuang Ancient City Museum (83 reviews)
- Fenghuang - nice ancient city full of chinese tourists
History Museums

Fenghuang is a nice ancient city built along a river. During the day it's great to walk through the little streets and discover the many nice things they are selling. The place is full of chinese tourists, I saw maybe 5 western tourists in a whole day walking. During the Night, the bars along the river play loud disco music, which kind of ruins the atmosphere (everything is beautiful!) and feels like Chinese ballermann... See more..
4.5 Tuojiang Ancient Street (59 reviews)
- Amazingly beautiful

The street on both sides of the river are awesomely beautiful, but very commercialized as would be expected of a high tourist area. Of the tourists, less than 1% were westerners. The vast majority wore masks. See more..

4.5 Xiangbi Mountain of Fenghuang (39 reviews)
- Best part of Fenghuang
Mountains

We went to visit the mountain without any expectations what we would see, but it appeared to be the best thing in Fenghuang. It is quite a long walk but with some nice temples, views over the city and great nature. Only bad thing is that they are building small holiday cabins in the beginning of the mountain, but as soon as you are past that it is very nice. Must visit when in Fenghuang. The entrance is just next to the entrance of the main bridge in the ancient part of Fenghuang. See more..

4.5 Daguan Platform (29 reviews)
- Captivating! Breathtaking!
Lookouts

I will never forget walking around the path and seeing our first view of this amazing place. Zhangjiajie is truly a hidden gem that is worth making the journey. This is a must do in China! The heights are just insane and heart stopping! (i'm terrified of heights and survived) The platform is just a few step closer to nature with a spine tingling drop off. You are just so high up on these mountains, an it is so full of life. I highly recommend taking a guide with you. At first we intended to do the trek ourself & wow! We would probably still be lost in those mountains. Bruce got us around quick and efficiently so we were able to see so many sights like this one. ([email protected]) See more..
4.5 Hyatt party ID Mall (27 reviews)
- Uptown mall
Shopping Malls

This is probably one of the more up market mall around. It carries more known brands, eg. H&M, and does a much better job in upkeeping the mall. See more..
4.5 WulongZhai (27 reviews)
- Beautiful
Geologic Formations

We wanted to go to tianbofu however that was closed for renovation so we only walked to WulongZhai instead. Definitely worth the trip. Super nice view, some areas you have to climb and pass very narrow passageways but it made for some very cool pictures. Do not recommend big backpack for this road. Also the view from the bathroom sink alone the way was the best ever. Check my picture. See more..
4.5 Tuojiang Rock (25 reviews)

Geologic Formations

很美的一座城市，主要体现在它的古典美。当你行走在热闹的街道是就可以感受到这种美了，不仅连建筑史古代风的建筑，一些店铺的名字更加的有意思，有些老板就直接穿上古装的衣服叫卖，显得很特别，有好多当地的特色小吃。腊肉比超市买那些要好吃一百倍。 See more..
4.5 Ten Miles Gallery (24 reviews)
- Worth the hike
Mountains

Very beautiful area, surrounded by the rock formations. We actually walked down to ten mile gallery, from Tianzi Mountain. The path down is about 2 hrs worth of steep steps, I imagine going up takes much longer, but there are many viewing platforms. The hike itself doesn't have many vendors selling water or food so bring your own. At the bottom, you can take the little train to the bus stop (38rmb one way), or walk on the parallel, flat path. If you come from. the bottom, I'd recommend hiking up for about 1hr, you'll get to see a few of the viewing areas. See more..
4.5 Yandi Square (23 reviews)
- Perfect place
Points of Interest & Landmarks

Undoubtedly the most important square in the city, it has many outdoor activities for adults, seniors and children. Even for pets there is room.

4.5 Zhangjiajie Junsheng Painting Institute (22 reviews)
- Spectacular Art Painting
Art Galleries • Points of Interest & Landmarks

4.5 Haungshantou National Forest Park (20 reviews)
- Spectacular

What a breathtaking place to visit. Each turn you take give another postcard moment. Be sure to check the weather and be patient as the mist rolls in and out quickly. Food and drink is expensive so carry in what you can but beware you have some hiking to do to get the best views. See more..
4.5 Lang Mountain National Scenic Resort (20 reviews)
- Beautiful but cloudy the day I went
Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Geologic Formations

This is clearly a beautiful spot. Amazing on a clear day and ok on a patchy day. But if you're planning a visit and the forecast is rain or cloud then it really is best to save your money and time and wait for a clear day. Three highlights are the views of course, then there's the spot where you can stand on both Guanxi Zhuang Province and Hunan Province at the same time. Finally two nice temples, Yuntian is very genuine and quaint. And behind it another smaller shrine. Very rustic not touristy at all. See more..
