A scenic cabin ride brings one up to the 1250 m high peak, where one experiences such naturally shaped sights with such tuneful names like: “Divine Scriptures and Little Treasure Box”, “Pillar of the Southern Sky” “Agate Stone Peak" and “General Guarding the Door”. Looking from the mountain tops into the distance, one can recognize the following landscapes: three valleys, in the east, south and west, countless bizarre rocks, their shapes resembling somewhat bamboo sprouts or wall screens. National Forest Park Zhangjiajie The Ntaonal Forest Park Zhangjiajie covers an area of 130 sqkm.or 50,19 sqmi. Here are not only dense forests to see, but grotesque peaks, resembling in form and shape camels or eagles. A field research, conducted in the beginning of the 1980th lead ?to the conclusion that this National Forest Park represents a downright gene store for plants and a refuge of all kinds of animal. Here grow many rare species of trees like the Chinese Tea Tree (Daviddia involucrate) and the Meta-Sequoia,. The dense jungle is protective home of many rare species of birds and animals like the Golden Pheasant, the Pangolin (manis pentadactyla), rhesus monkey and Hellbender. An ideal path through this Forest Park cut the Jinbianxi River. Along the riverbanks, on either side, grows dense forest, bizarre rocks and beautiful wildflowers. In the clear waters of the river fishes can be seen easily. The National Forest Zhangjiajie is a wonderful summer resort and an excellent spa.Suoxiyu The Nature Reserve of Suoxiyu excels with many mountain lakes like the Baofeng Lake and karst caves. The best known of those caves is the “Yellow Dragon Cave”. The landscape around the Baofeng Lake is fascinating. The lake is surrounded by rough rocks and steep cliff formations. The water of the lake is like an emerald coloured mirror. By taking a boat ride it is almost like floating through a ferry-tale land. The Yellow Dragon Cave has a length of 7,5 km or 4,66 miles. Within this cave run two subterranean rivers, three waterfalls and thirteen cave halls, the largest can host up to 10.000 visitors. Today this cave is very well lighted, though on can appreciate the endless varieties of karst formations. Other points of interest in Suoxiyu are also the ?Ten Li Gallery“ (2 Li = 1 km or 0.6 miles), the Xihai Lake and the Baizhang Gorge. Important Tourist Informations In Zhangjiajie prevails a subtropical monsoon climate with four clearly distinguished seasons. The summer is short, the winter long, but both seasons are mild tempered, there is neither simmering heat in summer nor bitter cold in winter. The fall (September – November) is the best time to visit. The average temperature in fall is around 12 – 15 degrees C.

Today Zhangjiajie offers a variety of different modern hotel accommodations. The Border Town Fenghuang The city Fenghuang is located in the west of the central Chinese Province of Hunan. Translated is the meaning of Fenghuang: Phoenix. About 60 years ago came this quite town to fame. The reason was the novel “Border Town”, written by the famous writer Shen Congwen. Shen was born and grew up in this isolated town. The town has a broad and high city wall with an over 400 years old history. The name was given to the city since on the south-western side a mountain range resembles a flying phoenix. The majority of the citizens are people from the Tujia- or Miao minorities. The city wall, the bell tower, the century old landing stage and the convents are very well preserved. Paths and alleyways in the town are predominantly plastered with red flagstones. The wooden houses are constructed tightly side by side. These houses are rather small, remarkable is the fact, that almost every house has a black tile roof. Worthwhile a visit are the pole houses along both riverbanks. The pole house represents a typical construction style of the Tujia and Miao nationalities. In the course of a boat ride on the river one can catch perfect impressions and views. About 8 km southerly of the city of Phoenixextends a 190 km long defence wall. In china this wall is known as the “Southern China Great Wall”. The wall here runs from south to north with an overall length of 190 km. The wall has been constructed with solid, big stones. The wall maintains an average height of 3 meters, at some places even higher. The construction of the wall is not different from the Great Wall in Northern China. There are barracks, watchtowers, and pass routes.Home, About Us, Travel Information, Suggestion, Contact Us, Online-booking, Impression, Testimonial and professional tour guide. Please contact us!

Zhangjiajie

Tianzishan

Tianzi Mountain is located in Zhangjiajie in the Hunan Province of China, close to the Suoxi Valley. Rising nearly 1,520 meters (about 4,987 feet), Tianmen is the highest peak in Zhangjiajie and is regarded as the 'soul' of Zhangjiajie. There are many graceful trees, karst hillocks and medicinal herbs and plants on the mountain. Tianmen also has its 'four wonders' - Tianmen Mountain Cableway, Tongtian Dadao (Avenue Leading to the Sky), Tianmen Cave and Bonsai Garden on Air. In addition, tourists can visit cultural scenic spots such as the Tianmen Mountain Temple and the Lingquan (Spring of Spiritualism) Temple. It is named after the farmer Xiang Dakun of the Tujia ethnic group, who led a successful local farmers' revolt and called himself "tianzi". This means "son of heaven" and is the traditional epithet of the Chinese emperor.

The mount is dotted with nearly 100 natural platforms for sightseeing, more than 2000 stone peaks and dozens of waterfalls and springs. The sea of clouds, the wavelike stone ranges, the snowscape in the winter and the sunrise are the most spectacular.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

Located in western Hunan Province, the famous tourist city of Zhangjiajie is home of China's first forest part - the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park -and a World Natural Heritage site Wulingyuan. Since an air route linking Zhangjiajie and Hong Kong opened last April, more and more visitors take their holidays in Zhangjiajie.

In 1988 it was recognized as China's first National Forest Park. In 1992, it was officially recognized as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. Its unique geographical features make it a popular tourist destination for both Chinese citizens and foreigners. Annually the park brings millions of yuan in park revenues. Most of that money comes from Korean tourists, and for this reason many of the park workers learn Korean as a second language. Also, the shop keepers in and near the park accept Korean Won in addition to the Yuan.

The most notable geographic features of the park are the pillar-like formations that are seen throughout the park. They are the result of many years of erosion. The weather is moist year round, and as a result, the foliage is very dense. Much of the erosion which forms these pillars are the result of expanding ice in the winter and the plants which grow on them. These formations are a distinct hallmark of Chinese landscape, and can be found in many ancient Chinese paintings.

Ancient Town of Phoenix Ancient Town of Phoenix

The Phoenix (feng huang in Chinese) is a mythological creature that is a symbol of the sun. Phoenix Town (Feng Huang Cheng) is called as legend has it that once two phoenixes flew over the town and found it town so beautiful that they hovered above it, reluctant to leave. Phoenix Town is a small city in the western part of Central China's Hunan Province. For tourists, Phoenix Town is a Chinese dream; a wonderland of ancient mysteries.

This ancient small town, according to New Zealand writer Rewi Alley, is one of the two most picturesque small towns in China, with colorful and hospitable people.

Imagine wandering the narrow streets of this "Ancient City of History and Culture," dancing and singing with local Miao and Tujia people, listening to an old man telling ancient fairy tales, and wondering how this small city nourished so many famous writers and artists…

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, Phoenix Town is located in the western part of Central China's Hunan Province, south of the Tujia and Miao prefectures.

Phoenix Town's history can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC). During ancient times it was called "Wu Gan," before being changed to its present Feng Huang name in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
Upon entering the town, visitors will be impressed by its air of mystery, elegance, and primitive simplicity, just like a phoenix.

The bridges over the water and unique houses built on stilts display a harmony that is so often portrayed in traditional Chinese paintings. This is particularly true when mist pervades the scene in the early morning or after rain.

This is a world that is dominated by the color green. The mountain slopes are covered with green foliage, the fields are green, and even the Tuo Jiang River reflects the greenery.

Dong Ethnic Minority Villages in Sanjiang Dong Ethnic Minority Villages in Sanjiang

In the Heart of the "most beautiful place on earth", there is a place called Sanjiang, where most people by-pass some of the most "pristine" and untouched (by tourists) minorities areas and villages in China just to see the greenery, misty caverns, craggy peaks, winding riverbeds that this city has to offer.

San Jiang is located at the connecting point North of Guangxi, Hunan and Guizhou; it is an autonomous region mainly consisting mainly of Dong Ethnic Tribe, which makes up for more than 54% of the people of the whole of the county.

Two-and-a-half hours west of Longsheng the bus crosses a high stone bridge over the Rongshui and clatters into the main street at SANJIANG , the small, desperately untidy capital of Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County . Sanjiang's main attraction is the neat, indigo-clad Dong themselves, a people renowned for their wooden houses, towers and bridges which dot the countryside hereabouts, and it's well worth roving the region with the help of minibuses and converted tractors known locally as "Dong taxis". There's a scattering of simple hostels and places to eat, and villagers will sometimes offer lodgings and sustenance - characteristically sour hotpots, oil tea (a bitter, salty soup made from fried tea leaves and puffed rice), and homemade rice wine - though it's polite to offer payment in these circumstances. Language can be problematic, as many locals can't speak putonghua, let alone English; people are, however, very friendly.
