Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area is a landscape of spectacular natural beauty in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, China.
Wulingyuan is part of the Wuling Mountains of central China. The Wulingyuan Scenic Area stretches over an area of 26,000 hectares, and includes the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
The outstanding feature of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park are the 3,000 narrow sandstone pillars and peaks, some of which are over 200 meters tall, along with deep valleys and gullies.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
