It’s not that Zhangjiajie is out of reach, but Xia‑Tian‑Xia Gorge in Guangdong offers better value‑for‑money. Only a 2‑hour‑drive from Guangzhou, you get to witness nature’s magnificent craftsmanship.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park unfolds breathtaking vistas, otherworldly peaks pierce through swirling mist, and the ethereal charm of Wulingyuan paints a dreamlike fairyland you simply have to behold in person.

Steep stone pillars pierce soft mist in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Wulingyuan unfolds like a scroll of ethereal fairyland, where jagged peaks emerge amid drifting clouds, painting an otherworldly scenic view that captivates every visitor.

Clouds swirl around jagged stone summits in Zhangjiajie’s Wulingyuan district. These sculpted sandstone formations, rising amid lush woodland, paint an unforgettable picture of raw natural wonder waiting to be explored.

In China, even the mountains have elevators! The Bailong Elevator is the tallest outdoor elevator in the world — a stunning engineering marvel built into the massive cliffs of Zhangjiajie, giving visitors breathtaking views suspended right above the abyss.

I recently spent 2 weeks in China. 6 cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing and Chengdu. I went there with curiosity. Like many Indians, I had heard a lot about China through media, social media and conversations. I expected to see progress, maybe discover some business ideas, and understand what the country is actually building. I came back with a very uncomfortable feeling. Not because I found a business idea for myself. But because I saw 100 things that governments can do when infrastructure, tourism, transport, urban planning and civic systems are treated seriously. I travelled within China by flights, trains, cars and local transport. The infrastructure was honestly stunning. Clean cities. Smooth roads. High-speed trains. Well-managed traffic. Public spaces that actually feel designed for people. Tourist destinations that are built, maintained and promoted like national assets. And then I kept thinking about India. We keep comparing ourselves to China. Our media keeps telling us how India is catching up, how China is restrictive, how we are better in so many ways. After spending time there and speaking to people, I realised how much of that narrative is just comfort food. China is not perfect. No country is. But on infrastructure, execution, tourism, civic discipline and quality of urban life, they are not 5 years ahead of us. They are decades ahead. The saddest part for me was the currency. Everything felt expensive. Not because China was insanely expensive, but because the rupee has weakened so much that even normal spending starts feeling heavy. As an Indian taxpayer, that genuinely hurt. We pay taxes. We work hard. We talk about becoming a global power. But where is the quality of life? Where is the civic sense? Where is the infrastructure that makes daily life easier? Where is the tourism vision beyond religious tourism? I met travellers from other countries who were excited to visit China because they wanted to see its progress. When I asked about India, many had no real desire to visit. Not out of hate. India simply was not on their aspirational travel list. That should bother us. Even the so-called “closed internet” surprised me. We are told people there are missing out because they don’t use Google, Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook. But China has built its own digital ecosystem. Payments, maps, transport, messaging, shopping, everything works inside their own infrastructure. People did not seem to feel deprived. They seemed adapted. Again, this is not a hate post. I love India. That is exactly why this trip bothered me. Patriotism cannot only be about saying we are great. Real patriotism is having the courage to admit where we are falling behind. China made me realise one thing very clearly: India’s potential is not the problem. Execution is. And unless we stop comforting ourselves with comparisons and start demanding better infrastructure, better governance, better tourism, cleaner cities and a higher quality of life, we will keep celebrating the idea of progress instead of actually living it.
