Sky Garden in Zhangjiajie
Zhangjiajie Sky Garden (Kong Zhong Tian Yuan) is a unique scenic attraction located in the Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Hunan Province.
Unlike the towering sandstone peaks that Zhangjiajie is famous for, the Sky Garden showcases a different kind of beauty — a peaceful agricultural landscape hidden high in the mountains.
With its terraced fields, surrounding clouds, and dramatic mountain setting, the Sky Garden looks like a piece of farmland floating in the sky, creating a magical natural scene.
A Mountaintop Countryside Above 1,000 Meters
The Sky Garden is located in Laowuchang (Old House Field) of Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area.
Situated at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters above sea level, the terraced farmland sits on the top of the mountain, surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides.
A simple stone path connects the fields with the outside world, making this hidden village appear even more isolated and mysterious.
Because clouds and mist often surround the mountain throughout the year, the fields seem to float above the valley when viewed from a distance, which inspired the name “Sky Garden” or “Aerial Countryside.”
A Perfect Example of Harmony Between Humans and Nature
Despite the harsh mountain environment, local farmers transformed this rocky area into a beautiful and productive farmland.
They created flat terraces among the rocks, brought fertile soil for cultivation, and planted various crops, turning an originally barren landscape into a green oasis.
The Sky Garden represents the traditional wisdom of local people and demonstrates the harmonious relationship between humans and nature.
Why Visit Zhangjiajie Sky Garden?
The Sky Garden offers visitors a rare experience beyond Zhangjiajie’s famous mountain scenery.
Here, travelers can enjoy:
* Unique mountaintop farmland
* Stunning views of clouds and valleys
* Traditional agricultural landscapes
* Peaceful rural scenery
* A perfect combination of nature and human creativity
For visitors exploring Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the Sky Garden is a hidden gem that reveals another side of the region — not only its magnificent mountains, but also the simple and beautiful life created among them.
