Itinerary

1. Zhangjiajie
Your guide and driver will greet you in your hotel lobby to kick off our journey to Zhangjiajie Forest Park. To maximize your time and stay ahead of crowds, we suggest booking a hotel near the park’s East Gate.
Duration: 60 mins
2. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
Start an unhurried, immersive hike with your local insider guide. Enjoy full flexibility with tickets purchased seamlessly on the spot, backed by the total peace of mind of no middlemen and no hidden fees.
Duration: 60 mins
3. BaiLong Elevator
Upon entry, soar up the cliffside Bailong Elevator, the world’s tallest and fastest, to reach the summit in just 88 seconds. From its glass cabin, watch in awe as thousands of towering karst peaks drop beneath you.
Duration: 60 mins
4. Yuanjiajie
Your guide will lead you on a shortcut to the best vantage point overlooking the main star: the ‘Avatar’ Hallelujah Mountain. Then, navigate the cliffside trails of Yuanjiajie to admire nature’s finest masterpieces like the Back Garden, Enchanting Platform, and First Bridge Under Heaven. Lunch is intentionally left flexible. Feel free to pack some snacks to keep your energy up, or enjoy lunch at your own expense on the mountain. Dining options at the summit are limited, and local dishes can be quite salty, spicy and greasy. For a lighter, more familiar meal, fast-food spots like Dicos in Yuanjiajie and McDonald’s at Tianzi Mountain are better choices.
Duration: 180 mins
5. Yangjiajie Scenic Area
Board the park shuttle to less-crowded Yangjiajie to admire the spectacle of ‘Natural Great Wall’, formed by rows of pine-covered sandstone peaks dating back 380 million years to the Devonian Period.
Duration: 60 mins
6. Tianzi Mountain
Admire jagged sandstone peaks soaring into the clouds, including the Imperial Brush Peaks and Flower Fairy Peaks. Then, relax on a downhill cable car, taking in sunset over the expansive karst forest.
Duration: 120 mins
7. Zhangjiajie
Finally, your guide and driver will escort you back to your hotel. Thanks for traveling with us! We offer mini-group and tailored private tour options. Check availability to find the perfect fit for your travel style.
