Picture 1 - Chonqqing, Hongyadong / Hongya Cave, 洪崖洞 (many compare it to the ghost bathhouse in Spirited away). its especially beautiful at night but there are so many people :P there are many levels one above the other. mostly cafes or restaurants but also there are some viewpoints to other river bank
Picture 2-3 - Beijin Gui Jie / 簋街 (also called "ghost street") a paradise for food lovers, there is a restaurant after restaurant on the street, at night they turn on the lanterns so the street looks magical. quite safe to walk at night.
Pictures 4-5 - Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (Avatar mountains). the park is situated around 1.5 hour drive from Zhangjiajie. i dont drive a car so I took a 2 day trip from Zhangjiajie (first day we visited avatar mountains and the next day Tianmen Mountain - look at next photos). the views are breathtaking, trust me, photos don`t do it justice. absolute must see whn you are in Zhangjiajie
Pictures 6-7 - Tianmen Mountain - it is situated within Zhangjiajie town. the staircase on picture 6 leads to "heaven gate", you can go there by foot or use the escalator. the view up on the mountain and the surrounding area is amazing, this is a huge national park as well so you might want to dedicate whole day to it as well.
Pictures 8-9 - Huanglong Cave about 40 min drive from Zhangjiajie, I went there by myself, used a taxi from Alipay app. you can easily go there without the tour group, it is not hard to find the entrance and there you can explore it at your own pace. its basically karst cave complex but they also put lights and illumination and photo zones i there, making it look like something unreal.
Pictures 10-11-12 - Gubei village/Gubei Water Town about 150 km from Beijin, is situated at the foot of the Simatai section of the Great Wall. The village is very touristy but nevertheless is so pretty and you can enjoy a stroll walking around the streets. in the evening the put some show with singing on the main square.
