● You should never visit Zhangjiajie in July and August. That’s when Chinese people have their vacation. It would simply be too crowded. The same goes for the first week of October.
● According to our guide, it’s best visited in mid-August and one month further, as well as in April, May (except the first week), and June 📅
● When you visit Zhangjiajie, I would highly recommend going with a guide. It’s a huge area and quite difficult to get around if you don’t know it. Also, you have to download Google Translate - it will be a huge help when traveling in China 🇨🇳
● You need a minimum of two days in Zhangjiajie. We spent three days, and it was perfect.
● Make sure you book a hotel that’s located close to the gate 👌🏨
● AND remember warm clothes when you are traveling in the cooler months. It can get very cold here 🥶

Hey Simon, This video was amazing! Zhangjiajie looks absolutely incredible - those views from the mountaintops are unreal, straight out of Avatar. I can't believe how lush and green everything is. Hiking for 7km must have been tiring, but definitely worth it for those panoramas. And a McDonald's at the top of the mountain? Never would have guessed! Thanks for sharing your adventure, makes me want to add Zhangjiajie to my travel list. Cheers!

I am Chinese from Hong Kong watching this and bringing tears to my eyes. The world is full of such negative news about my country and I am so grateful for people like you who chose not to listen and instead come and experience with your own eyes. But not only that you have made such a beautiful and breath taking video to show every one the beauty we see every day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️🙏🏽

I went to the beautiful Zhanjiajie last November. Experienced ziplining at age of 70.

China has the most beautiful land in the world and Chinese people are really blessed.
-
China is so beautiful, the perfect combination of nature and technology, peace-loving and hospitable people. China is like the Protoss in the StarCraft games I played when I was a kid, an ancient and powerful civilization.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Was there years ago, the landscape is so unreal, feel like it’s not from this planet.
-
Wow, your videos are of high quality, the picture quality is also very good, and I like the filters too. China has many mountains and the scenery is very beautiful. Dongyue Mount Tai, Xiyue Mount Huashan, Nanyue Mount Hengshan, Beiyue Mount Hengshan, Zhongyue Mount Songshan, in addition to Zhangjiajie, Mount Emei, Mount Wudang... each mountain has a different deity.We believe gods and goddesses live there.

China is definitely a top choice for travel and I look forward to my next visit to China.

A visit to Zhangjiajie China is like walking into a piece of Chinese brush painting. Is so magical and peaceful. ❤

Zhangjiajie is a place I definitely want to visit. The scenery is spectacular. I enjoyed watching this beautiful video with great interest 😎

What to say? This place is fantastic. Totally unrealistic. We can say that we envy you a little, but you have shown us scenes that take our breath away. Excellently recorded and excellently edited. Nice guys and take care. Sretana and Zac. 🖐😄🤗

I was surprised at how beautiful it is there. The pillars remind me of Utah but with vegetation growing on them. It’s great that you could fly the drone there. So many places don’t allow them. This is more than a YouTube video. Great filmmaking skills. 👍

Beautiful place and beautiful people. They were so warm and friendly.
-

Beautiful, Beautiful and Beautiful! I have seen many videos about China from foreign tourists... and all this time I've never come across one with the Avatar Mountains. I definitely will be sharing this video on FB. Thank and cheers, from Canada. 🦉 🕊
