Zhangjiajie Weather in February

Zhangjiajie weather in February is cold and snowy/rainy. Zhangjiajie is located in the monsoon climate region of Central China, so it is accordingly humid and wet year-round, but- it is also seasonal. There can be freezes, and you should expect winter weather to be significantly cold. Nighttime and the climate at the high peaks will be much harsher than the weather in the valleys.

Visitors can take advantage of the lower tourist numbers, in exchange for harsher, albeit more beautiful, weather.

Zhangjiajie Attractions Map

1. February is still winter, and thus the time for good pictures and views of the peaks. Snow-capped jagged mountain peaks make for a once-in-a-lifetime viewing experience. The snowy peaks with some occasional wispy clouds floating between them are unforgettable.

2. Hikers will have a lot more trouble as the terrain will be more difficult on account of snow and ice and the most popular attractions might be closed at times due to bad weather.

3. The caves, such as Yellow Dragon Cave, are good to visit, despite their gaudy lights, they maintain constant temperate climates, and make for a nice break from winter’s icy spite.

4. Frequently, Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) takes place in February, and Zhangjiajie is a great place to experience the Chinese Lunar New Year. The date changes every year, so it is not guaranteed to happen in February.

5. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is a good winter destination. It’s beautiful covered in ice and snow, and the entrance fees are cheaper as well.

Tips for Visiting Zhangjiajie in February

1. February is a fantastic time for photographers. The snow-capped peaks make for a mystical wonderland of clouds and the low amount of tourists give it a solitary, isolated atmosphere.

2. When visiting Zhangjiajie, be prepared for some of the attractions to be closed. Either accept that you might not see things like the sky bridge or that you must wait a few extra days while there for the weather to clear and things to open back up.

3. Be prepared for Spring Festival travelers though, as you make your way through China to Zhangjiajie. The nation’s vast public transport system is strained as nearly half a billion people make their way across the country, usually from the big cities where they work to the small villages where they are from.
