What to Wear in Zhangjiajie in June

• A t-shirt and shorts. Stay cool.
• Sun protection: sunglasses, sunblock, a hat, light trousers, and a long-sleeved t-shirt. Especially when you are up above 1000 meters, UV light becomes much stronger.
• A rain jacket. It’s the rainy season in a monsoon climate. Bring rain gear, you won’t regret it.
• Water-resistant shoes with good traction. This is a mountainous national park. Expect some difficult terrain, especially when it is wet and rainy. Shoes that have good traction and don’t easily get soaked will doubtlessly be an asset.
• A large water bottle. It may not be clothing, but still a necessity. Look for one that is at least 1.5 liters, so it will last you several hours without a refill.

Is June a good time to visit Zhangjiajie?

June is a good time to visit- if you come prepared. It’s the height of the rainy season, and it’s hot and sunny. The views are still spectacular, and the cool valley and cave make for great breaks from the daytime heat, just be prepared to deal with tourists, heat, and rain.

You can pack light in June, bringing fewer clothes thanks to the heat. Also, although it is tourist season, there are many things going on in China that bring down the overall number of visitors from May to June.

Long hours of sunlight also make for good hiking and exploration- as well as sunset views.

What to Do in Zhangjiajie in June

June is a good time for sightseeing and photography, oceanic expanses of clouds will accompany you as you make your way through this mystical park.

1. Tianmen Mountain can be hiked in 2-3 hours. At 1,519 meters, it is the highest peak in Zhangjiajie, and really the must-see of your trip there. There is also a cable car, in the case of rain, or if hiking isn’t your thing.

2. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is also a good visit in June. The clouds provide a nice respite from the summer sun, and in mid-summer, the flora and fauna are in full swing. From here you can also see the famous Hallelujah mountain, from the Avatar movie.

3. The world’s longest and highest Glass-bottom Bridge (430 meters long and 300 meters from the valley floor) is another sight to see in the summer. If you are lucky, a cloud may even float around you or beneath you as you pass over the bridge.

4. Yellow Dragon Cave provides a welcome respite from the summer heat. The constant 19-18º C (64-66º F) temperature in the cave is comfortable, and the massive cave is an exploration in itself.
