[Truth] Zhangjiajie has "deceived" the whole world, and overcrowding is a misinformation

Online Rumors of Visitor Limits vs. Actual Situation

With phrases like "The best advertising slogan is to stop selling tickets", "Warm reminder, please don't come to Zhangjiajie at this time", etc., people from other places who want to come to Zhangjiajie are discouraged. Many WeChat friends also inquire through our account. Is this the case?

With the high temperature in summer, Zhangjiajie, which has summer resorts such as Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Tianmen Mountain, and Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, has indeed seen a strong increase in tourism. The rumor circulating on the Internet that "Zhangjiajie's tourism reception has exceeded its maximum daily capacity and the number of tourists has begun to be restricted" is a misinformation, because the overall area of ​​the Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area is smaller than the core scenic area of ​​Wulingyuan. Once people are too concentrated, it is easy to cause long queues. In order to alleviate the queues, the Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area will take measures to limit ticket sales. The suspension of ticket sales is due to peak shifting, and the number of tourists has not reached the maximum carrying capacity. Moreover, since the summer vacation, there have been no long queues in the core scenic spots of Wulingyuan. A recent set of data can prove this: On July 17, the number of people entering the mountain in the core scenic area of ​​Wulingyuan was 21,800, on the 16th it was 21,200, on the 15th it was 15,300, and on the 14th it was 18,300. The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Scenic Area received a total of 25,600 people from the 16th to the 18th. The reception volume is not saturated and there is no need to queue. Compared with the daily carrying capacity of 111,380 people and the instantaneous carrying capacity of 62,000 people in Wulingyuan-Tianmenshan 5A Scenic Area recently announced by the National Tourism Administration, neither the daily carrying capacity nor the instantaneous carrying capacity has reached the peak. Therefore, Zhangjiajie has full capacity and ability to provide good tourism reception.

In fact, it is not uncommon for tourist areas across the country to experience the peak of the tourist season in the summer. So what should you do if you want to travel during the peak period? The key is to choose the right time to enter the scenic spot, so that you can avoid queuing and enjoy all the scenic spots. Well, the editor has visited several scenic spots in the past two days to explore the situation, and I will provide you with it immediately.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

Queuing Situation at Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

Although the Tianzi Mountain Cableway is out of service for renovation and upgrade, there are still no long queues at the entrance of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

(PS: The picture was taken at 9:30 in the morning, and the expected queue time to enter the park is about 20 minutes)

Tianmen Mountain

Reasons for Tianmen Mountain Suspending Ticket Sales

In Tianmen Mountain, summer tourism is more popular than the core scenic spot of Wulingyuan. Ticket sales were temporarily suspended at noon on July 17 and in the morning of July 18. This is because the overall area of ​​Tianmen Mountain is smaller than the core scenic area of ​​Wulingyuan, and the cableway has become the most important means of transportation to the scenic area. Once people are too concentrated, it is easy to form long queues.

The main reason is that on some dates, especially public holidays, tourists are too concentrated in the mountains. The temporary suspension of ticket sales in scenic spots is to control the passenger flow during peak hours to ensure tourist safety and tour quality.

(PS: The picture was taken at 12 noon. It is expected that the queue time to ride the ropeway will be about 15 minutes. It is recommended to choose the time to go up the mountain between 12 noon and 1 pm)

On-Site Conditions at Huangshizhai and Baofeng Lake

As the flagship scenic spot in Zhangjiajie, Huangshizhai Scenic Area has a daily reception volume that is far from enough. You can sometimes take the Huangshizhai Cableway up the mountain without queuing at all.

(PS: The picture was taken at 10 a.m., and it is expected that the queue to ride the ropeway will only take about 5 minutes)

Baofeng Lake

Baofeng Lake, the lake in the peak forest, seems to be very relaxing and comfortable to visit during this period. There is an even better thing waiting for you - free WIFI! Zhangjiajie Baofeng Lake Scenic Area completed full free WiFi coverage in the scenic area on June 12. You can take photos and upload them as much as you like, and you can also win a grand prize of 100,000 yuan by taking a photo with the cartoon sheep.

(PS: The picture was taken at 1 pm, so there is no pressure to enter the scenic spot)

Huanglong Cave Commitment and Grand Canyon Glass Bridge

Faced with the increasingly popular summer vacation tourism, Zhangjiajie Huanglong Cave Scenic Area made a public commitment to tourists from all over the world on July 19: The queue to enter the cave to escape the summer heat will not exceed 30 minutes, and the scenic spot will refund the ticket price in full if it exceeds 30 minutes.

(PS: The picture was taken at 2 pm. Faced with such a promise, what are you worried about)

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon: Adjacent to the World Natural Heritage Wulingyuan, the height difference between the bottom of the canyon and the top of the canyon is as high as 400 meters. In midsummer, the temperature at the bottom of the canyon remains around 26°C. Of course, what attracts the most attention is the glass bridge that is about to be built. It is initially expected to open in October. Please wait patiently.

(PS: The picture was taken at 2:30 pm, and it only takes a few minutes to enter the scenic spot)

The editor also learned that in Wulingyuan, the core scenic spot in Zhangjiajie, the Bailong Elevator, which has the world's highest outdoor elevator, has just completed its transformation to increase its capacity and speed. Three elevators are operating at the same time, with a capacity of up to 6,000 people per hour. On weekends, tourists are too concentrated, and there is a short queue in the elevator going up. However, the downward movement is completely smooth and there is no need to queue.

Zhangjiajie not only has world natural heritage landscapes and beautiful scenery, but also has numerous first-class outdoor tourism resources. At present, it has formed 12 mature high-quality outdoor leisure tourism routes. Outdoor tourism enthusiasts at home and abroad are welcome to come and carry out in-depth tours such as adventure, cycling, rock climbing, and downhill tours.
