The World's Tallest Stilted Building - Seventy-Two Wonder Tower

How can you visit Zhangjiajie without stopping by the "Seventy-Two Wonder Tower"? As the tallest stilted building in the world and a new landmark of Zhangjiajie's night economy, this spot is a must-visit whether you're a culture enthusiast, photography lover, or a foodie. Here, you can wander through the stilted buildings and immerse yourself in the rich folk culture of Western Hunan while enjoying an authentic culinary journey. The best part? You don't have to worry about your wallet—just 10 yuan gets you a warm and satisfying bowl of handmade Tujia noodles, a truly comforting treat! The Seventy-Two Wonder Tower incorporates the traditional stilted architecture of Western Hunan. Not only is its exterior impressive, but its design is also layered and intricate. Although it is named "Seventy-Two Floors" (symbolizing good fortune, not an actual 72 floors 😆), stepping inside feels like traveling through a time tunnel. The interior features numerous folk exhibits and local handicrafts, along with regular performances. Visiting at night is highly recommended, as the illuminated building creates a dazzling and atmospheric scene, perfect for photos. If you visit in the evening, you can also enjoy local folk song and dance performances while dining, making for an unforgettable experience! Practical Tips: 1. Visit in the late afternoon or evening to avoid daytime crowds and enjoy the stunning nighttime lighting effects. 2. The food area offers a wide variety of options. Take a stroll around before deciding where to eat, and don't buy too much at first, as there are plenty of choices to explore. 3. The area is quite large, so wear comfortable shoes and bring an umbrella if it rains. 4. Public transportation is available nearby, and it's conveniently located from Zhangjiajie city center. Taxis are also an easy option. Overall, Zhangjiajie's Seventy-Two Wonder Tower combines culture, photo opportunities, food, and night views into one destination. It's perfect for family outings, gatherings with friends, or romantic evening dates. If you're visiting Zhangjiajie and want an alternative to the traditional mountain and water routes, this is definitely a great choice for a night out! 👍

Just got back from an epic city break with some dazzling moments you can’t miss! 🌆✨ The highlight? A breathtaking light show that turned the whole skyline into an Instagrammable dream. Top Spots to Visit: - Don’t skip the city’s famous light show! It usually happens every evening around 6:45 PM (check local schedules, times can shift seasonally!). Pro tip: Arrive early for the best view and fewer crowds, plus snag a spot near waterfront cafes if you want snacks with your sparkle. - Hop over to the main promenade nearby — evening walks here are pure magic as the city lights start to glow. - If you’re feeling adventurous, check out rooftop bars dotted around the city center. The elevated vantage point gives wide panoramic shots — perfect for your stories after the show! Getting Around: Most attractions are metro-accessible — the local metro runs until midnight. Grab a transport card at any station for contactless payment and convenient transfers. Taxis are abundant but stick with metered rides for fair pricing. Eat Like a Local: Try the street eats at night markets around the light show area; the fried dumplings and sweet buns here are must-haves (look for stalls with long lines — always a sign of fresh food!). Key Tips: - The light show is open-air, so check the weather before heading out. - No ticket needed! Totally free event, but keep a phone or camera charged for max photo ops. - Cashless payments are widely accepted, but carry some notes for street vendors. - For trip essentials, book hotels or attractions on trip.com — hassle-free and trusted. #CityLights #UrbanAdventures #TripComFinds
