The Origin of Zhangjiajie Name
2016-12-20 17:30:25  Zhangjiajie Tourism Information Website  

The National Forest Park had been given the name of Zhangjiajie after the name of a small village located within its bounds, and now a popular tourist attraction within the park. The three-character name can be interpreted as follows: ZHANG is a common surname in China; JIA can be translated as family; and JIE can be translated as homeland, giving the completed translation of Zhang family homeland. It has been reported that at least one tourist guide has said that the name may have been chosen to convey the idea or impression of Open the family door to welcome the world, but this is not the locally-accepted and directly translated meaning of the name.
