Sky Garden

Sky Garden in Laowuchang Area, Tianzi Mountain, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park mainly consists of 2 scenic terraced farmlands on the high mountains, hence the name. It is also known for scenic peaks around, peaceful rural atmosphere, and superb observation site for watching the amazing Bailong Elevator.
 The terraced farmlands at the altitude over 1,000 meters (3,280 ft) are the classic attractions in Sky Garden. Next to the fields are the deep abyss and dense towering peaks and forests. All round the year, the fertile farmlands with crops, the hardworking farmers and water buffalos, and the white smoke wafting out from the villagers’ kitchen make a peaceful countryside scene. 

Sky Garden

Tip: There are 2 terraced fields on Sky Garden, but they are not in the same place. The first one can be seen while you take the Sightseeing Bus; the second one is watched at the No.1 view platform. Although the first one is more beautiful, the driver would not stop there on the way, so take out your camera in advance if you want to take photos.
 Standing on the opposite of the scenic area is Bailong Elevator – the world’s highest and fastest outdoor sightseeing elevator. Sky Garden has the only view platform in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in front of the Elevator.

 Compared with other classical tourist attractions in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Sky Garden and its nearby places are not frequently visited by tourists despite its good scenery. Therefore, this place is very suitable for a relaxing walk.
