Zhangjiajie Taihua Great Gorge, A back-land of Wuliang District, situated at bank of Lishui River in Zhangjiajie City, is of splendid and primitive sight with precipitous gorge, flourishing forest and densely distributed streams.

The whole gorge is as long as 8km and the altitude difference at the deepest gorge is over three hundred meters and the narrowest place only allows one person to pass. What amazing is that flourishing forest and ancient vine accompany you all along when climbing down from the top of gorge to its bottom. But, when be ready to go, you should prepare well to conquer the steep road. Sheltered from forest shade,deep gorge and steep cliff, a lot of places in the gorge are even shielded from sunlight all year round. Owing to this, the gorge is pregnant with countless sky eyes and crypts.

When fascinated by the beauty of Taihua Great Gorge, you will also definitely surprised by strong and amazing spirit of Tujia People who excavated artificial canal on the steep cliff of this gorge. The canal is built along the mountain waist, so the other side of canal is 200-meter high cliff. People who are afraid of height and of heart disease had better not visit this gorge for the sake of safe.
