Zhangjiajie's dramatic scenery deserves a quiet moment — and the region's cafés offer exactly that, with coffee and views of the sandstone pillars. Here are the famous ones.
Several cafés in the Zhangjiajie area offer views over the famous sandstone pillars — a rare chance to enjoy coffee against one of China's most extraordinary landscapes.
In Wulingyuan and the town of Zhangjiajie, a growing café culture offers specialty coffee, tea, and baked goods — welcome comforts after a day of hiking.
The region's resorts and hotels have excellent cafés and lounges, many with terraces overlooking the scenery. These are perfect for a quiet afternoon.
Beyond coffee, the region offers traditional Chinese tea houses where you can sample local teas and watch the mountains from a shaded terrace.
Look for cafés near the park entrances, in the Wulingyuan town center, and at the viewpoints along the park's routes. Many are small and atmospheric.
Cafés near the park close early in the evening. Prices are reasonable. Combine a café stop with sunset viewing for the best of Zhangjiajie.
