Don't Visit Zhangjiajie National Park Until You've Seen This!

[@adamandyaz]

Would YOU visit Zhangjiajie National Park? ⬇

[@lmn6335]

This is truly a terrible experience-too many people. As one of the most famous tourist spots, people from all over China gather here. If you're lucky, you'll encounter fewer crowds, but if not, it will be like what you experienced. As a Chinese person, I personally avoid such crowded places. However, judging from the video, this number of people seems normal. Most travelers can only understand the scale of China's population through firsthand experience

You go there because it's famous, you can't stop others from going there too, right?

As a native of Zhangjiajie, I really hope that the government can take measurements to improve tourists' travel experience. Currently, international tourists may face many problems when travelling in Zhangjiajie, such as the language barrier and payment system problems (Visa and Mastercard). Hope that there will be more and more international tourists in the future.

[@ABCtriplets]

If you went there recently, a lot of Koreans flocked to there may be the reason it was so crowded! Why? There is a saying among Koreans: one should at least go to Zhangjiajie once in his life…

But 1 out of 15 lets say, well, just unlucky timing for you two. Maybe give it another try some other time of year?

[@adamandyaz]

You’re absolutely right. We actually went based off of seeing other people’s videos and seeing how good it was. That’s why we were so shocked and disappointed when we got there. To be honest, we’ve been there, we saw it, no real reason to go back now. Maybe in a few years to show the kids haha

It might have something to do with the sudden rise of popularity of this place in South Korea that attracted tones of Korean tourists (All welcome). Plus domestic touring become a thing in China as well. It’s definitely bad timing, yeah it’s a good season to visit for the scenery so naturally more people come. Maybe come back in the future when the whole Zhangjiajie heat cool down a bit.

[@adamandyaz]

It was definitely popular that day 😂 We would love a redemption trip, maybe a completely different time of year

[@yih]

I was there in October as well, I'm so sorry you had such an experience oh goodness and you remained so cheerful tbh, I would've been miserable. I went a week before golden week, it was very busy too, so we did research on quiet routes and ended up doing more of the hiking routes (not that many bus journeys and they're not on the guide maps that the hotels and home stays have - they're used to recommend the easy routes with more busses and cableways and less walking) which yeah, it was a lot more steps but we were able to avoid the crowds. Near Huangshi Village if you walk down the pillar there's also a little cat sanctuary. We ended up doing the elevator the opposite way around one one of the days and took it down in the evening. If anyone wants to go to Zhangjiajie and is going in high season like this, I highly recommend the lesser known hiking routes, there's a few blog posts floating around with info - if you go off season apparently you can even have days where you meet no one! 💕

[@adamandyaz]

Thank you so much for this info! We went wrong by taking the tourist route. We should have gone backwards instead. It literally was so hard to appreciate, we were so disheartened 😔 but we know for next time now to try a different route :)

[@dustinwang-int]

As a Chinese, I would never consider going to some places like Zhangjiajie. The reason is just as you showed, there are too many tourists! I think the best places to visit in China are to experience the modern cities in Shanghai or Beijing, go to Inner Mongolia to experience the grasslands or go to Xinjiang and Tibet to enjoy the magnificent scenery. The cities in central China are very crowded. You went to a place that foreign tourists generally don't choose, which I appreciate very much, but I still recommend going to less crowded places.

[@adamandyaz]

There definitely weren't many foreign tourists there, it was mainly people from other parts of China. We are going to those bigger cities, so we'll see how they turn out 👍

You are overacting bro. They are enjoying their trip in china overall so far. Stop being mean.

[@Vergil-xi3ji]

Bro show some manner at least, they are literally telling the truth, given that they paid like 100 pounds to visit it however spending most of their time in queues, but ur blaming them for their review-like comments instead of the fact that the attraction was actually overcrowded?

[@jgeng22]

I think you are too sensitive for this. Is it not nice for people give positive advices so we could figure a way to change it ?

[@hgos7211]

Damn that queue sure looked insane! Might've had something to do with Golden week in Oct. I've actually been to ZJG myself in Easter, only had 2 days so I only saw the Tianmen mountain (1.5 hr queue for the cable car) and the Grand Canyon (no queue), ran out of time to see the actual mountains like you guys, didn't know it could be like that😂 18:08 That glass bridge in the Grand Canyon is actually pretty awesome, there's a Zipline/ really long metal slide downhill and a really pretty canyon down a riverside to walk on. It's definitely worth a visit in my opinion another time. Tianmen mountain too! The Furong Ancient Town and Phoenix Town was also really beautiful, only a half hour train ride away. Hope your next visit would be less busy and that they control the amount of tickets better.

Thank you for watching and understanding it from our perspective 😃 this was October 23rd so middle of the week and almost 3 weeks after the most recent national holiday, so we didn’t expect any issues but that’s how it goes sometimes. Glad to hear we weren’t the only ones haha 😅

[@hgos7211]

​@@adamandyazGotcha yeah Oct 23 normally shouldn't be this insane. Then yeah it really is an issue with crowd control on their end for letting so many people in🤔 Oh well at least you can tick this place off the bucket list, the surrounding sights I mentioned are worth a see on another trip😄

[@adamandyaz]

@ well definitely check them out, thanks 🤙

[@alvachan]

@@adamandyazone reason why you guys stumbled into such insane queue is that almost every retired groups of people pick up the middle day of week to travel to get a cheap tour…tourist companies like to arrange that 😢😢 from your footage I could see those groups…unlucky day for you…hope you have more cosy tour ahead..😂and as a Chinese I really get that frustration feeling when we are traveling

[@lawks797]

Let's do maths, trim down the population in China to 1 billion, Suppose 1/5 is employed and afford to local travel only , then 1/20 of them would bring along 1 travelmate, what would be the number of entree if divided by say 2000 scenic spots. Remember there are also travellers from nearby countries, let's trim down to 100 per day from just 1 nearby countries, excluding tour groups, that is not insane anymore. Only because most of them flock to the well-known and heat hot spots make the situation looks unbearable and chaotic.😮

atheism is religion same like all other religions the only difference is that all other religions are based on the belief of god's existence while atheism is based on the belief of god's non existence the underlying theme for them all is belief not truth truth don't become lies and lies don't become truth regardless of what any one thinks or believes ignorance is the source of evils beliefs are the symptoms of ignorance

Zhangjiajie park management, please take note. More options, more free exploration, less hiking, less loudspeaker noise without respite, less queueing. More park facilities and options to stay or travel by night, rather than try and squeeze everything in daylight hours - and you will get return visitors who actually enjoyed the place, as opposed to people vowing never to return and telling an average 7 people how awful it all is. The reason to visit is to enjoy and appreciate.

[@kevinaa114]

u r part of the crowd so u have no right to complain since u should complain yourself

[@adamandyaz]

We literally said we would have been happy to not be able to go if they capped the amount of tickets sold and it was sold out on the day / week / month we wanted. Watch the video before commenting 👍

[@WEIHONGDU]
