We guarantee 100% No Shopping Stops in our tours. When you check some other tours, if they don't mention no shopping, they MUST have commissioned based shopping stops as jade factory or tea ceremony. Even you don't see shopping related words in their itineraries or product introduction, it is indeed a shopping tour. Be sure to check out with them about the shopping stops and read reviews from their clients carefully to see what the real experience would be. By joining a shopping tour like that, your time spent on attractions will be shortened, and you will be pressured to buy overpriced items. Normally the so called jade factory or tea ceremony is the tourist trap. You have to stay there an hour or more for those travel agents to get the commission from the factory stores. If you prefer to enjoy the tour thoroughly, you are suggested to choose a tour without any annoying shopping stops just like ours.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
In the morning, your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel lobby. The meeting time will be confirmed with you before your tour starts. Then let's start the amazing journey to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. For your reference, it is suggested that you book a hotel near the East Gate of the Park, where there are more restaurants and hotels for your choice.
BaiLong Elevator
After entering the East Gate, your guide will first escort you to take the Bailong Elevator, the world’s tallest and fastest outdoor sightseeing lift listed in the Guinness World Records.
Yuanjiajie
Coming out of the elevator, you will reach Yuanjiajie Scenic Area. The most famous site here is the Hallelujah Mountain, which was the inspiration for the floating mountain in the sci-fi movie Avatar. You will also be constantly mesmerized by other natural wonders like the Back Garden, Enchanting Platform, and First Bridge under Heaven. Lunch today is at your own expense. Food options are available on the mountain area with a bit higher prices. Our guide will offer suggestions and assistance. However, the taste of the local dishes is more spicy, salty and greasy, so some people may not like it. For this reason, we would suggest you have a hearty breakfast at hotel and pack some breads or snacks for a simple lunch.
Yangjiajie Scenic Area
After lunch, our guide will accompany you on a shuttle bus to the Yangjiajie Scenic Area, famous for its beautiful streams, lush virgin forests and peak walls. It is hailed as a “major new discovery of Zhangjiajie geomorphology”. Dozens of rolling peaks capped with Wuling pines stand parallel and resemble a row of stone walls.
Tianzi Mountain
Let’s take a shuttle bus to Tianzi Mountain, which is known as “an enlarged bonsai, a minified fairyland”. With many types of rare plants and protected animals, it is a paradise for nature lovers to explore. Descend the mountain by cable car with your tour guide accompanied. The guide will then take you back to your hotel.
Zhangjiajie
In the morning, your tour guide will pick you up and then drive you along the winding mountain road to Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon for around 40 minutes.
Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge
The most thrilling thing that will welcome you is the high-rising Glass Bridge that spans the canyon. Dare you to walk across this world's highest and longest transparent bridge? Give it a try, and you will feel as if you are wandering in the air! If you are afraid of heights, you can also follow the opaque sections on either side. Being actually on it, you could not help but let out a wow when beholding the panoramic view of the canyon and the abyss beneath your feet. Note that Bungee jumping, sightseeing elevator, zipline, and lake cruise are not included in the entrance charge of Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon and tours.
Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park
After a short break at noon, let's set out to visit Tianmen Mountain. Accompanied by the tour guide, you will admire the most celebrated Tianmen Cave (Heaven's Gate), take the round-trip sightseeing ropeway, and experience the thrilling Glass Skywalk (shoe cover expense on your own) and the 7-level escalator. It will bring you the double enjoyment of excitement and beauty. After the tour, you will be escorted back to your hotel. Note: A private tour of this trip will be offered exclusively for you if you are a party of 7 people or more.

Our tour guide Zhenzhen neither gave us earphones nor was easy to recognize (no umbrella, no flag) so it was extremely easy to loose her. She was ‘useful’ to find a way to attractions, but did NOT give us ANY information about what we were seeing. Both the days, the tour started quite late (11 the first, 10 the second) so then we had not enough time to spend in every place and were always in a hurry. When we got to the glass bridge, she gave us only 1 hour and did not tell us anything about what we could do (zip line, elevator). At the Tianmen Mountain, we wasted half an hour waiting for her to buy the tickets, then the tour was different than described (we skipped the longest cableway in the world, the 7 level escalators and the glass skywalk). Really paid a lot of money but not worth it. We complained to Viator and to TravelChina Guide, at least we got a partial refund.

Our tour guide who was from the area was excellent. She was super friendly and shared the history of the culture which she is a part of. She also worked the tour around the different places based on when she knew they were least crowded. This made for no waiting or waiting in lines much shorter.

Fiona is amazing and a great guide!! Definitely needed a guide because the park is huge, not in english, and very hard to get around. Fiona brought snacks, took care of us, and is so smart and sweet. Told us about her life in the village.

Micheal the guide, was perfect, organized and very smart. However the detail of the tour, provided when booked and after, were not respect. The first day the tour was only Half day tour despite what reported inside the program. Moreover the travel operator was not reactive: the should tell me the detail of the guide the day before but I had to contact it more time to have these detail.
