Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is a national forest park located in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, China. It is one of several national parks within the Wulingyuan Scenic Area. Wulingyuan's unique quartz sandstone peaks are rare at home and abroad and are known as the "Three Thousand Strange Peaks". In the core scenic area of 217.2 square kilometres, there are 3103 quartz sandstone peaks, which are distributed between 500 and 1100 metres above sea level, ranging from a few tens of metres to 400 metres in height. The peaks are shaped like people, gods, immortals, birds, beasts and things, with many variations, and these abrupt rocky peaks and rocks stretch for thousands of hectares. Whenever the weather is clear or rainy, the valley is filled with clouds and mist, and the sea of clouds is sometimes thick and sometimes light, with the rocky peaks appearing and disappearing.
