Zhangjiajie Tujia Table — Sanxia Guo and Mountain Food Streets
A local culinary course in Zhangjiajie, famous as a filming location for Avatar. For Sanxiaguo, a Tujia ethnic hot pot dish, you can choose between a spicy dry version and a broth-based version; the broth-based version is a safe bet for first-time visitors. Since the city center (Yongding District) and the Wulingyuan Scenic Area are a 40-minute drive apart, split your itinerary according to your accommodation location. As it is a mountainous area, restaurants tend to close early, so head to dinner before 8 PM.
