Explore China's World Heritage Site: Zhangjiajie

Located in northwestern Hunan province, the main draw of Zhangjiajie is the Wulingyuan Scenic Area, which was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992. Other popular spots in the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park include the Suoxi Valley, Tianzi Mountain and Baofeng Lake.

The wildlife in the national forest park is another main draws. Giant salamanders, rhesus monkeys and golden pheasants are among the creatures visitors might stumble upon during a trek through the photogenic Golden Whip Brook.

Avid hikers can explore mountains, caves and forests, while paved paths cutting through the scenic areas offer a less challenging adventure. Visitors also have the option of taking a glass elevator to the top of one of the peaks.
