Clothing: Since it is much warmer but rainy, spring clothing is appropriate, such as light layers and a rain jacket. If it isn't rainy, the days are clear and sunny, so bring a hat and sunglasses. The roads, stairways, and paths are often slippery, so wear sneakers or boots with good traction.
Things to Do in Zhangjiajie in April
See the Scenery at Wulingyuan: The green-topped high quartzite rock spires are beautiful. These quartzite rock spires and bluffs inspired generations of painters. One of the amazing pillars is an amazing 1,080 meters (3,544 feet) tall. The rock formations are almost unique in the world, and it is a UNESCO Global Geopark. They are reminiscent of sandstone pillars at Bryce Canyon in the US.
Take a spring walk: April is the best season to enjoy the spring flowers and scenery in Zhangjiajie. The air is clear and fresh in the country, so hiking is a joy. The ice is gone, and everything is verdant. In early April you can enjoy a walk or hike up the peaks while there are fewer tourists and crowds than in the busy season.
Hike up Tianmenshan: The rocky hill has a big hole in the middle of it, and it is the main attraction for most people in the park. The giant hole is shaped like a keyhole, and it is an interesting point to hike to. It is said that there are 999 steps up to it. Try checking the number for accuracy. Hiking all the way to the top of Tianmenshan takes two or three hours. This might be too difficult of a climb if you are out of shape.
There is a cable ride up that lasts about half an hour. If you can get a cable car for just you and your sweetheart, that might make for a good date. At the top of Tianmenshan, there is a famous glass walkway. It is a glass sidewalk that stretches 600 meters at more than a kilometer above the ground below. For a lot of people, walking on that is the biggest thrill of the day.
