What “Tianmen Fox Fairy” is

“Tianmen Fox Fairy” uses the landscape of Tianmen Mountain as its live stage, telling the legendary tale of the fox fairy, blending music, lighting and the night-time mountains — a large-scale live show worth catching in Zhangjiajie.

Showtimes and length

  • Usually staged in the evening (often between 19:30 and 20:30), running about 1.5 hours;
  • Exact sessions and times shift with the season — follow the ticket and the day’s notice;
  • Peak season adds extra shows; book ahead when dates are tight.

Choosing a seat

  • Centre-middle seats give the truest, best full view;
  • Front rows show performance detail but a weaker panorama;
  • Side seats may cost less and still give a complete view — balance against your budget.

Arrival and tips

  • The show is outdoors — sun protection in summer, a jacket in autumn/winter, as the mountain cools after dark;
  • Arrive 20–30 minutes early to settle in; latecomers may be held at the entrance;
  • The show ticket and the mountain ticket are usually bought separately;
  • If rain cancels the show, watch for refund or exchange arrangements.

FAQ

What time does the “Tianmen Fox Fairy” show start and how long is it?
“Tianmen Fox Fairy · Liu Hai the Woodcutter” starts at about 20:20 each night (subject to the scenic area’s daily announcement) and runs about 90 minutes, at the Tianmen Mountain Canyon Grand Theater. We recommend arriving 30–45 minutes before the start; the gate opens about 40 minutes before the show.
Is the “Tianmen Fox Fairy” show performed in winter?
The “Tianmen Fox Fairy” show is suspended from about December to February each year, subject to the scenic area’s notice. Spring and autumn (Apr–Jun, Sep–Nov) offer the most pleasant weather and the best visual effects. Tickets are tight during holidays, so we recommend booking 3–5 days ahead.
Are the “Tianmen Fox Fairy” show ticket and the mountain ticket separate?
They are separate ticket types: the mountain ticket does not include the “Tianmen Fox Fairy” show — buy the show ticket separately. Book each for your itinerary, and book ahead in peak season.
How do I buy the “Tianmen Fox Fairy” show ticket and the mountain ticket?
They are separate ticket types that must be bought separately: the mountain ticket is for visiting by day, and the show ticket is for the evening performance. If you plan to do both, book each to fit the show time; if you only visit the mountain, a single ticket is enough.
