With no extreme heat in summer or severe cold in winter, Zhangjiajie is suitable for visiting year-round. However, the optimal months to visit are generally April and October, when the natural landscape is at its finest, with temperatures exceeding 20°C. Peak travel periods include the Spring Festival (7 days), May Day holidays (May 1st to 3rd), the Summer Holiday season (late July to August), and National Day holidays (October 1st to 7th). During these times, prices for food, accommodations, transportation, and tour guide services tend to increase due to the influx of visitors. Interestingly, the national parks in Zhangjiajie are remarkably beautiful during the winter months (December, January, and February), sometimes blanketed in snow with fewer tourists, offering relatively lower prices compared to other months.
