Day 3  Flight to Zhangjiajie and Discover Tianzi Mountain

 

Take a flight from Guangzhou to Zhangjiajie. Your guide and driver will meet you at the airport and then you will head to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, which takes about 40 minutes.

Embrace Tianzi Mountain, Which Is Like a Big Bonsai Garden (3 Hours)

Check in at the entrance and then take a shuttle bus to Tianzi Mountain's cable car station. You will see large areas of spiky peaks thrusting upward. As you walk along the steps, spectacular views will unfold in front of you from different angles. Then take the cable car down the mountain and you will be driven back to your hotel in the Wulingyuan area.

Day 4  Second Day in the Park: Avatar Hallelujah Mountain, Sky Field Garden, and the Natural Great Wall of Zhangjiajie

 

You have a full day in the national park to explore this wonderland. Take the Bailong Elevator up and down the mountain to save time and energy.

Visit Yuanjiajie Scenic Area to see Avatar Hallelujah Mountain (1½ Hours)

This was the shooting location for Avatar 2 in March 2019. Explore the area at your own pace - you will find more interesting mountains and features, such as a natural stone bridge that stretches between two mountains.

Listen to the Story about 'Sky Field Garden' (1 Hour)

'Sky Field Garden' is a highlight with much fewer tourists. You may not believe that the local people changed the top part of a mountain into a piece of farmland and are living on it. Just one more step further and you are faced with cliffs.

Visit Yangjiajie Scenic Area to See the Natural Great Wall (1½ Hours)

The Yangjiajie section was opened to the public in recent years. Its unique mountain formations look just like a section of the Great Wall. After the trip, you will be driven back to your hotel. Have a nice sleep and get ready for the next day.

Day 5  Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon with Its Glass Bridge and Baofeng Lake

 

Breakfasts offered at the hotels are usually Chinese-style with not much choice. If you prefer, your guide can pack you some bread, instant coffee, and fruit for an alternative breakfast.

Challenge Yourself on the Glass Bridge at Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon (4 Hours)

The world's longest and highest glass-bottomed bridge is located in this area. Walking along this glass bridge that is 300 meters above ground level will be one of the coolest experiences of your tour!

If you prefer not to walk on the bridge, you can take another route to visit the area.

Relax in a Boat on Baofeng Lake (1 Hour)

You'll enjoy a 30-minute ride in a wooden boat. It is a leisurely experience as you cruise on the clear water, view hills of various shapes, and enjoy listening to the local minority people singing their traditional songs.

Day 6  Tianmen Mountain and Zhangjiajie Departure

 

Experience the Longest Cableway and Enjoy Views from Tianmen Mountain (4½ Hours)

Tianmen Mountain is regarded as the 'soul' of Zhangjiajie and is its highest mountain. The views include graceful ancient trees, karst hillocks, and long roads that are carved from the sides of the cliffs. The cable car ride takes 30 minutes from the city center to the mountaintop and it is the longest cableway in the world.

Tianmen Cave (meaning 'Heaven's Gate') is a 30-meter-high hole that was formed naturally in the mountain and looks like a doorway. It is well-known for being glided through by world-class stuntmen in wingsuits. To reach the hole, you can climb for about half an hour up the 'Stairway to Heaven'.

After the trip, we will transfer you to the airport and wave goodbye.
