Winter Wonderland in Zhangjiajie

My winter wonderland vacation, January 2020 at Zhangjiajie. My partner and I went over the Spring Festival break so we assumed it would be crowded. However, it was the opposite! We stayed near the park and the area was so quiet it felt like a ghost town. Many restaurants were closed but we still managed to get food from the locals by the hostels. After 1 day, they announced that no one could purchase tickets due to Coronavirus, but luckily we had already purchased tickets, although we did not get to go to Heaven’s Gate. We were very lucky to have experienced the park with no crowds. It felt like we were the only ones on the mountain. There was mist and didn’t get to see the view hiking up the mountain, but it gave a mystical feel🙌🏽. We only realized how high we were taking the cable car down and it was an amazing but scary view! We were also greeted by McDonald’s on top of the mountain! The few raindrops and snow was absolutely beautiful and refreshing. Perhaps less people go during this time due to the weather, but I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a Winter Wonderland experience❄️ #triplocal #zhangjiajie #china
