History
Zhangjiajie’s sandstone pillars formed over millions of years; the area was protected as a national park and designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1992, which boosted conservation and tourism.
Conservation
High visitor numbers put pressure on trails and facilities; stick to marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife and support local guides who follow park regulations.
