2 days in Zhangjiajie- 10/31/2023-11/1/2023

Zhangjiajie at night-10/31/2023

The downtown area in Zhangjiajie is pretty small and really easy to walk around

All the buildings in downtown Zhangjiaje are well lit.

Shopping center along the way...

Bridge over a small river.

The town is very picturesque with mountains surrounding the whole area.

People sitting around the bank of the river and enjoying the surrounding.

We are now on the other side of the bridge from where we came from.

The town is really pretty with all the lights illuminating the whole area.

The bridge changes colors...It is blue and purple

Now it is purple and green

To 100% red.

Beautiful scenery.

A perfect spot to take a picture.

How gorgeous is this?

We are now on the main street in downtown.  A rice wine shop selling an alcoholic beverage feremented and distilled from rice.

Zhangjiajie is known for Rice wine and the industry is growing very rapidly and is helping the economy for a lot of local people.

Wendy our tour guide, told us to come here for dinner.

This restaurant is huge and has at least 4 levels.

We got a table on the 4th floor of the restaurant.

Since Rice Wine is a local industry in Zhangjiajie, we ordered a bottle and it is actually pretty good.

It is quite difficult to communicate in China since most of the people do not speak English.  Good thing the menu has pictures and we just pointed to what we wanted.

On the left is fish specialty of the house and was highly recommended but we could not eat it since there are too many bones in it.  The second dish is a bamboo and mushroom stew.

Chicken and lamb in a spice garlic sauce.  This is a really good dish.  We ordered more food but I forgot to take pictures of most of the food.

Since we could not eat the other fish we ordered a steamed fish and it was delicious.  We ate the whole thing.

This is the first floor of the restaurant.  It is really clean and very colorful.

We walked a bit in the main street.  There is not much around, it is mostly restaurants and shops.

This was the end of the street.

We are now walking back to our hotel.

Our hotel in Zhangjiajie.
