Ten Miles Gallery

Ten Miles Gallery locates in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, close to its East Gate. As the name implies, this path built in the middle of valleys is like a Chinese landscape painting as it is surrounded by distinctive peaks, rocks, dense forests, and fragrant flowers. However, the Gallery is not as long as 10 miles and the walking path is only 1.7 km (1.1 mi). 
 

Three Sister Peaks are the highlight of Ten Miles Gallery. They are at the end of the scenic area. The three stone peaks stand side by side, shaping like 3 sisters. The left “eldest sister” is carrying a child on her back, the "younger one” in the middle is holding her kid in her arms, and the “youngest one” who is newly-married is pregnant.

It is a 100-meter-high (330 feet) peak. Looking from a distance, its shape resembles an elderly man standing sideways with his back hunched. The “man” also seems to be wearing a square scarf and a long shirt and carrying a basket full of herbs.

This is a peak looking like God of Longevity in Chinese legends, who is “raising his hand to greet his guests”.

This sight consists of 3 rocks: a small one in the middle and 2 bigger ones. It looks like a pair of intimate husband and wife is holding their lovely child.

 

In the Monkey Garden, you can see many cute monkeys and you can feed them fruits.

Other worthwhile attractions include Forefinger Peak Shaped like a forefinger pointing to the sky and King Xiang Reading Book Peak.

Note that at the end of Ten Miles Gallery, there is no eco-bus. If you want to go to your next destination, you have to return to the entrance of Ten Miles Gallery.

 

Taking the train can help you save energy as the road from the entrance to the end is uphill. 

Tip: The roof of the train is transparent, ensuring visitors a better sightseeing experience. But in summer, it may be burning hot to take the Sightseeing Train, so please prepare sun-protection items.
