Hi, looks all so amazing that i'm getting even more excited to be going to ZJJ soon. I was just wondering if you could upload a hiking map of the park? I'm having trouble to find one and i'm dying to follow your steps!


Fascinating to follow your travels, Pete. I love your independent travelling style, and the photography is brilliant!

I'm planning to visit ZJJ solo next month, so I was super thankful for your zjj solo travel posts. Now I'm scared that the mountains won't look as beautiful in real life as they do in your photos haha.

Im heading here in a few weeks. Iv read that the tianzi cable car isnt open, is there still a way to visit that part?


According to the map I drew here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/.../zhangjiajie-english-map.jpg

There should be several path you can hike up but do keep in mind that if they closed the cable car because of the weather, the hiking trail might also be difficult to climb or close altogether as well.


Photos are great! Thanks for very usefull info!

Hello Folks!!!

Your photos are very nice... Which camera do you use for taking them? Do you add any special effects on them? These photos do not look like normal photos... Very very nice...

I am from Brazil and I will visit Zhangjiajie on January 18th (winter time). Hopefully I get a good wheather like yours, because visiting this place without a good visibility must be quite a deception. When did you visit Zhangjiajie (you told it was during winter, but at which date?)

Thank you very much for your help!

I used a Sony RX100 and post processed it with Lightroom. I also went in Jan, it was cold but that means that there were no crowd like you use to see in photos from this place.

Thank you for the response!

I visited ZJJ in january 2016 and looking at your photos make me wanna go back! beautiful place. thanks for the photos and reviews. Will be back someday


Thank you for the comment. It truly was beautiful! :)


Really great write up and massively valuable! Thanks!!! Are you still taking questions?


It's been awhile now since then but go ahead. I'll try my best to answer accurately :)


Outstanding photos, Peter! In all of your travels, do you always take the picutres using only the RX100 M1? I've just bought the RX100 M3 based on the spectacular quality of your pictures and its focal range is 24-70mm and it doesn't seem to capture much, while your photos seem to be wide-angle (I'm not an expert) and kind of spacious with a lot of details! Don't you use any lenses?
