Dayong Ancient City

5.2
4.0/5
198 reviews
Dayong ancient city has reopened, jointly created by Mango super media and Hunan TV & broadcast intermedia under Hunan broadcasting system, and Zhangjiajie tourism group. It is a key benchmark project for the quality upgrade and revitalization of Zhangjiajie's core cultural tourism assets. The project systematically and artistically reshapes 165,500 square meters of existing space, breathing new life into the dormant ancient city. Every design here responds to the same question: what young people need is not just a trip, but an emotional outlet and a moment of being understood. Three themed blocks Haoliu street: A mango variety show-themed real-life block, a happy set for young people. One of China's earliest permanent immersive blocks incubated by top TV variety shows. The block faithfully recreates the show's stage designs, transforming the "gaming vibe, social atmosphere, and internet feel" of variety shows into participatory, check-in-worthy, shareable offline experiences. Leveraging mango IP resources with resident creative directors and constantly refreshed content – no matter how many times you visit, there's always something new. Light interactions spark spontaneous joy, with photo-worthy moments everywhere, combining shopping and dining in one stop. Here, forget workplace stress and drop all pretenses – immerse yourself in games like on a variety show, enjoy feasts, and laugh out loud. Haoliu street isn't a commercial block, but a happy set that makes you smile. Weird market: A youth creative social space and emotional release zone for young people. This is a sanctuary for "the world is not worth it" – where anxiety, emo, workplace fatigue, and emotional confusion can all be left behind in front of those whimsical monster sculptures. You can hunt for a dose of "unserious" joy among the bizarre retail finds, heal your mood with the quirky delights of the monster ice house, and experience the thrill of an upside-down world in the gravity-defying weird house. What you need isn't preaching, but a place to be "unserious" – and weird market is that place. Craft alley: A living heritage lane for intangible cultural heritage, a spiritual replenishment station for the young. A "front shop, back workshop" living heritage experience space. Instead of being overwhelmed by anxiety, rediscover inner peace through focused craftsmanship. Print a new year painting, sew a sachet, weave a brocade—let your hands focus on creation while your mind takes a brief respite. Traditional crafts carry the warmth of time, moving from display cases to your fingertips. You are no longer just an observer but a creator with your own hands. In the concentration of craftsmanship, anxiety settles and emotions find their place. What you take away is not just a product but a moment of time personally crafted by you. Craft alley responds to the youth's longing to "slow down" in the simplest way. Wonderful experience "Mythical China" special exhibition: Masters and youth create with brush and ink, exploring the artistic origins of Eastern mythology. Mythology represents the ancient observations and imaginations of the Chinese nation facing the vast universe, as well as the wisdom source code flowing between brushstrokes. The "Mythical China" special exhibition will display Qi Baishi's authentic works "Riding clouds to pour rain" and "Bamboo fence with gourds," along with 30 mythological-themed artworks created by young artists from the documentary "China." Masters and youth, classics and exploration, engage in dialogue here. It leads travelers to ride the boat of Chinese art, traversing millennia of charm to experience the eternal allure of Eastern aesthetics. Guard Dayong: An immersive flight theater experience. The story of "Guard Dayong" revolves around the mythical bird Bifang stealing the heart fire of Tianmen. The guardian, the shaman warrior "Dayong," teams up with his companion, the ear mouse "Big Ear," to pursue the divine bird, reclaim the heart fire, and protect their homeland in a fantastical journey. You're not just watching—you'll fly into the story and personally participate in a magical time-traveling guardian adventure, more thrilling than playing a game! Sanyuan palace: A sacred site of Yao, Shun and Yu, offering a new experience of ancient architecture and blessings. Rooted in the century-old Sanyuan palace, it traces back to the cultural heritage of ancient sages Yao, Shun and Yu. Here, it responds to the simple wishes of young people: career advancement, finding love, wealth and safety. Engage in a chat with the ancients within the historic buildings and encounter good fortune through interactive blessings. Not seeking immense wealth, but only a smooth future, happy relationships and family well-being. This is a "spiritual refueling station" for the young generation. Nuogong nuomu tower: A trendy hub of witch-nuo culture and a wishing pavilion for love letters. Rooted in Zhangjiajie's witch-nuo heritage, this space reimagines nuogong nuomu sculptures through contemporary art. Upon entering, choose a distinctive mask to wear—shed your usual self and embrace a new identity, as if unlocking another version of you. Between the twin towers, an aerial "flying love letter" zip line awaits: write that unspeakable letter—your affection for someone, hopes for the future, or closure from the past—and let it glide across to them. Paired with interactive blessing installations, it conveys wishes for lasting happiness, smooth journeys, and good health. Wear the mask, pen your message—this is the youth's emotional post office, delivering words too heartfelt to say aloud. 749 zombie files: A new immersive horror haunted house. This innovative interactive experience combines elements of western Hunan corpse-driving culture with the narrative thread of "749 mysterious files," featuring sound, lighting, special effects, mechanical traps, and live NPC performances. Travelers transform into investigators, exploring eerie archives to uncover the terrifying truth behind mysterious disappearances. Only the brave dare to enter. Ultimate challenge: Indoor extreme sports park. Experience high-altitude jumps, aerial gliding, catapult takeoffs... Test your courage and stamina with screams and laughter. Dare to earn your "warrior medal"? Gravity-defying house: An immersive illusion experience. This is a topsy-turvy world where gravity fails and space flips. The phantom reflections in the mirror maze, the disorientation in the tilted room, and the ceiling-turned-floor in the upside-down house—every step challenges your senses. Every snapshot captures an atmospheric masterpiece. Ready to overturn your imagination? Attraction accommodation: Dear inn of dreamy freedom: Inspired by Zhuangzi's "free and easy wandering," it creates an oriental-inspired living space with the "six qi" as its essence, allowing travelers to truly unwind in this urban sanctuary. Mango youth hostel: Built around the core of mango's top variety show IP, it creates a trendy and social living space for young people, responding to their social needs even while traveling.Zhangjiajie · 674m from downtown

The Rocky Natural Bridge

5
4.5/5
203 reviews
The Rocky Natural Bridge is located in the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area of Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie, is a natural stone bridge spanning two stone peaks, and is also an iconic view of the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area. These two peaks were originally connected as one, but because the rock layer in the middle was relatively fragile, it gradually collapsed on both sides due to years of weathering and collapse, leaving a remaining slab approx. 4m thick suspended between the cliff walls, with a span of over 20m and a drop of over 300m from the bridge deck to the valley floor, making it look like a giant stone slab laid across the deep valley from a distance. The best time to see the stone bridge is after the rain: when clouds and mist surge up from the deep valley below, engulfing the base of the peaks, leaving only the bridge body and the surrounding peaks floating above the sea of clouds, making the entire stone bridge appear as if it is suspended in mid-air. When visiting, you can walk across the bridge to experience the thrill of crossing the deep valley, or watch the spectacular sight of clouds and mist rising from below after the rain.Zhangjiajie · 25.6 km from downtown

3.8/5
208 reviews
Xibu Ancient Street is a distinctive commercial pedestrian street in Zhangjiajie that integrates waterfront bars, specialty dining, cultural shopping, leisure stays, and creative workshops. Based on the cultural styles of the Tujia and Miao people in western Hunan and modeled after traditional Tujia dwellings, it leverages the natural waterscape of the Suoxi River to create a bustling market scene where courtyards are nestled within houses and streets are woven through courtyards. The overall atmosphere is full of charm, rich in ethnic minority characteristics while also brimming with modern flair. "Xibu" is a term in the Tujia language, also known as "Xinan Kapu," referring to an exquisite type of handmade Tujia brocade that was once a tribute offered by Tusi kings to the imperial court. As a large-scale commercial complex in Zhangjiajie, it allows visitors to purchase various Xiangxi specialty goods and taste local snacks from across the country.Zhangjiajie · 26.3 km from downtown

4.3/5

Zhangjiajie Back Garden is located in the east of Huangshizhai in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. It is a cheerful valley with dozens of small bridges and pinnacles distributed in it, known as "natural bonsai". These pinnacles are in a variety of shapes, streams flow around the peaks, the valleys are lush with flowers and trees, birds are singing, quiet and elegant; the ancient trees on the mountains are towering, and the clouds are filled with mist. The two oblique round gates of the "garden" are formed by the collapse of huge stone walls, with round double arches, like the moon gate. When the sun shines directly on the valley, Shi Feng condenses green and dyed Dan, which is fresh and pleasing to the eye. On rainy days, the clouds and mists are like the sea, and the peaks are swaying, just like the back garden of the ancient palace.Zhangjiajie · 25.4 km from downtown

Lianxin Bridge is located in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, in Yuanjiajie Scenic Spot, not far from Qiankun Pillar. The Lianxin Bridge spans a narrow canyon with cliffs on both sides. This bridge is artificially built, and the steel plate at the bottom of the foot has gaps, which can see the scenery in the valley, but it is even more thrilling because it is bottomless. The view from the bridge is even more breathtaking. This is a good place to watch the Qiankun Pillar, so people on the bridge are always coming and going. As people move, the bridge also vibrates, which makes people terrified.Zhangjiajie · 25.5 km from downtown

I planned a tour for the next 7 days, and the first one was Xiaozhai Tiankeng. Because the 30° north latitude is a mysterious latitude recognized by the world. Near this latitude, there is the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, the famous Egyptian pyramids, the highest mountain Mount Everest, the deepest trench Mariana, and the Chongqing Fengjie Xiaozhai Tiankeng located at 30°44'23& north latitude.

瀑布街藏在山城的褶皱里,青石板路被流水磨得发亮。沿街老房的木窗棂爬着绿藤,屋檐下悬着的红灯笼,被瀑布溅起的水雾打湿了边角,倒添了几分温润。 最妙是街中段的“叠瀑”——水流从山腰凿出的石槽漫下来,先撞在青灰色的崖壁上,碎成银花,再顺着石阶缝隙往街面淌,在石板凹处积成小水洼,倒映着往来行人的鞋尖。

I visited on June 28, 2014. Zhangjiajie Forest Park is home to a wealth of unusual rock formations, and the Qiankun Pillar is arguably the most famous. It even caught the attention of renowned international filmmakers and served as inspiration for the "Hallelujah Mountain" in "Avatar." In fact, the Qiankun Pillar was already renowned long before "Avatar." This massive, soaring stone pillar stands alone, striking and awe-inspiring. Hence, it earns a rather impressive nickname: "Southern Sky Pillar."

"Lianxin Bridge is an iron bridge, which was invested and built by the local government in 1994. The bridge spans two mountains and is extremely dangerous. It shows how difficult it was to build a bridge at that time and how wise the people who built it were. Standing in the center of the bridge and looking left and right, you can see the Qiankun Pillar on one side and the small ditch cut by the flowing water on the other side. Together, it is a wonderful landscape."
