The main attraction in Zhangjiajie is the Wulingyuan Scenic Area, which is a UNESCO World Heritage that includes the Zhangjiajie Forest Park.

How to go to Golden Whip Stream;
This place is the second park to visit inside the Zhangjiajie National Park after Yellow Stone Mountain. From Zhangjiajie Bus Terminal, ride an ordinary bus bound to "Znhajiajie". the bus has no number posted, so asking locals for direction and the proper bus before going aboard is important. Travel time is around 45mins for a fare of 10CNY ($1.6). Zhangjiajie National Park entrance fee is 139CNY ($23) (Off-peak season rate) and valid for 4-days consecutive (non-transferable). This 4km whip stream path at the base of the mountains is the route going to Yuanjiajie Scenic Area. No extra admission fee. Photography and video taking with monopod/tripod is permitted.

Golden Whip Brook is located inside the Wulingyuan Scenic Area of Zhangjiajie and several places of interest can be found nearby. The brook meanders its way through 3.5 miles of mountains and valleys, from north to south. Nearby places of interest include Golden Whip Rock, Purple Grass Pond, Jumping Fish Pond and Zhangliang Tomb, the park's premier man-made attraction.
