These areas are separate. Stay in Wulingyuan for the forest park and move to Zhangjiajie city for Tianmen Mountain access.

The Bailong Elevator is faster and offers stunning views. Use the roads if you prefer a scenic drive or want to avoid crowds.

Pack layers and a waterproof jacket. Weather changes quickly, and mist can make the trails slippery and cold.
