Worth agreeing on before you meet

Tujia Minority Heritage

Zhangjiajie is home to the Tujia ethnic minority — one of China's 55 recognised minority groups. The Tujia have their own language, cuisine, and traditions. Tujia architecture features distinctive stilted wooden houses (diaojiaolou). The Da Yong Old Town in Zhangjiajie city showcases traditional Tujia culture.

Photography Etiquette

Chinese tourists are enthusiastic photographers and may ask you for selfies — this is friendly curiosity, not intrusion. At viewpoints, queuing for photo spots is expected. Do not block walkways for extended photo sessions. Professional camera equipment may require a permit at some sites.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Zhangjiajie travel guide.
