You can also see the First Bridge Under Heaven, which spans between two mountains with a vertical height difference of 357 meters.
- **Tianzishan: Once You've Seen Tianzishan, No Other Mountains Need to Be Seen**
When visiting Tianzishan, you will see various peculiarly - shaped geological landscapes and odd - shaped peaks such as the Imperial Brush Pen Peaks, the Fairy Presenting Flowers, the General - Reviewing Platform, the Hanging Fields in the Air, and the Immortal Bridge. Don't worry too much about whether these natural formations look like what they are named. The charm of Tianzishan lies in its "natural beauty of the original scenery". Especially in the hazy fog after a rain, you will feel as if you are in a fairyland. When winter comes and the mountains are covered in white, the scenery is even more charming.
- **Huangshizhai: On Top, You Can Look Down Upon All the Other Peaks**
There is a saying that "If you don't climb Huangshizhai, you've wasted your trip to Zhangjiajie". Huangshizhai is an observation deck in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

- **Suoxiyu: A Natural Ink - Washed Landscape Painting**

Here, clouds and mists linger all year round, clear brooks flow continuously throughout the four seasons, and delicate peaks can be seen everywhere. The Ten - Mile Gallery is the highlight of Suoxiyu. In the 5 - kilometer - long canyon, wild flowers give off fragrance, and there are strange peaks and rocks.
