Qixing Mountain (Zhangjiajie)
七星山
A high-mountain resort southwest of Zhangjiajie city. Take the cableway up to see the sky walkway, peak views, and cloud sea. It has fewer crowds than Tianmen Mountain.
Qixing Mountain is in the southwest of Yongding District at an elevation of about 1,300 m. It has been developed as a mountain resort in recent years. A sightseeing cableway takes you straight up to the summit, where you can walk a cliffside glass walkway and visit the Sky City viewing platform, with views of Tianmen Mountain and the Li River valley in the distance. In summer the summit is nearly 10 degrees cooler than the city, which makes it good for escaping the heat and watching sunrise and the cloud sea. Admission plus cableway costs about 200 yuan, though the official announcement prevails. It is about 40 minutes by taxi from downtown Zhangjiajie. It is usually scheduled separately from Tianmen Mountain as a less crowded alternative.
