Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, part of the Wulingyuan Scenic Area, is located in Hunan Province and covers a landscape dotted with thousands of quartz-sandstone pillars. These natural formations are the result of millions of years of weathering and resemble a surrealist painting brought to life. The park's diverse ecosystem is home to rare plant and animal species, making it a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors flock to experience the panoramic views from numerous scenic vistas and explore the park's dense forest trails. The park's history dates back to prehistoric times with evidence of ancient human activity. It offers a range of recreational activities from hiking trails to cable car rides, along with landmarks like the Bailong Elevator, the world’s tallest outdoor lift, which offers sweeping views of the unique landscape.
