As a member of UNESCO global geopark network sites with an area of 4,810 hectares, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park consists of four scenic areas which normally takes 2-3 days to visit.

The East Entrance of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
The East Entrance of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, has the full name of Wulingyuan Suoxi Valley Wujiayu Landmark Gate Ticket Station.

Upon arrival, we enter the park from the east entrance which has the full name of Wulingyuan Landmark Gate Ticket Station. From there, we can catch the sightseeing shuttle bus to head for the lower station of Bailong Sky Elevator and then take the lift to go uphill to Yuanjiajie Scenic Area. Known as world's highest outdoor lift, Bailong Sky Elevator is built half into the mountain and half onto the side of the large steep cliff. With the height of 326 meters, the glass Bailong Elevator can take people from the base to the summit of the mountain in 66 seconds. While in the glass lift, please stand as front as possible so that you have chance to see the rapidly changing beautiful scenery that blows countless tourists' mind.
