Zhangjiajie Old Taoist Bay, a mysterious and holy land, locates under the foot of the south of Tianmen Mountain in urban area of Zhangjiajie. It was given such a name because a Taoist priest whose name was Gui Guzi once cultivated himself and preached here. It is 7 kilometers from the downtown of Zhangjiajie and covers an area of over 9,000 acres. There exists so many kinds of rare plants and animals in it that the whole bay remains in a primitive state.
