1. Golden Whip Creek Scenic Spot - Divine Eagle Whip Guarding. Divine Eagle Whip Guarding is located in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, beside Golden Whip Creek, with two stone peaks connected. The left peak is shaped like an eagle with its wings spread, and the right peak is shaped like a divine whip. The top of the left peak is pointed and slanted, like an eagle's head, and the lower part of the mountain is shaped like an eagle's broad and huge wings. The eagle's left wing tightly surrounds Golden Whip Rock, as if it is a guard, hence the name Divine Eagle Whip Guarding.

2. Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area - Imperial Brush Peak. Imperial Brush Peak in Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area is a typical representative of Zhangjiajie's quartz peak forest landform. It is located in Tianzi Mountain. Several thin and firm peaks are very stylish, shaped like several upside-down brushes. Legend has it that the Tujia uprising leader Xiang Dakun personally used his imperial brush to stick upside down here. This scenic spot has been used as a publicity picture material by the media many times, and has been the focus of film and television screens for many years. It was the first stamp scenic spot issued in Zhangjiajie in 1999.

3. Fairy scattering flowers. The fairy offering flowers is praised as the incarnation of the fairy. The image of the beloved concubine of King Xiang is lifelike and vivid, just like a charming beauty. Holding a bunch of flowers in her hands, she scatters flower seeds in the peaks of the West Sea. She has been waiting for King Xiang's return. There is a poem that says "The fairy of Yaochi descends to the mortal world, and turns into a stone peak, which is particularly charming. Holding golden orchids in her hands, she scatters them at will, and thousands of golden lotuses are halfway up the mountain."
