What To Expect
Zhangjiajie Forest Park: Bailong Elevator, Yuanjiajie, Hallelujah Mountain, Yangjiajie, Tianzi Mountain
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
In the morning, your guide will pick you up from your hotel lobby at the time previously agreed with you. Then let's set off to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. For your convenience, you can book a hotel near the East Gate of the Park.
BaiLong Elevator
After entering, your guide will first escort you to take the Bailong Elevator, the world’s tallest and fastest outdoor sightseeing lift, to the summit.
Coming out of the elevator, you’ll reach Yuanjiajie Scenic Area. See the Hallelujah Mountain, which was the inspiration for the floating mountain in the sci-fi movie ‘Avatar’, and also the Back Garden, Enchanting Platform, and No.1 Bridge under Heaven. Lunch today is not included. You are recommended to have a hearty breakfast at hotel and bring along with you some snacks for a simple lunch. There are also fast foods like Dicos available on Yuanjiajie and MacDonald’s on Tianzi Mountain, but they may need to wait for long sometimes.
Hop on the eco-bus of the park to Yangjiajie, where dozens of rolling peaks capped with pines stand parallel and resemble a row of Natural Great Wall.
Tianzi Mountain
Let’s take a shuttle bus to Tianzi Mountain, known as “an enlarged bonsai, a minified fairyland”, and a perfect site to see the sea of clouds. Descend the mountain by cable car and return to your hotel with guide accompanied.
Visit Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon with Glass Bridge and Tianmen Mountain
The Grand Canyon of Zhangjiajie
In the morning, your guide and driver will pick you up and we’ll drive around 40 minutes to Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon for the visit.
Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge
The most thrilling thing that will welcome you is the world’s highest and longest transparent Glass Bridge that spans the canyon. Be brave to walk on it to experience the feeling of strolling in the air while beholding the stunning panorama.
Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park
In the afternoon, let's visit the Tianmen Mountain. Witness the most iconic Tianmen Cave (Heaven's Gate), experience the cliffside Glass Skywalk (shoe cover expense included), and take the round-trip ropeway, a shuttle bus ride on the scenic 99-bend mountain road and the 12-level transmountain escalator.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in one day

5.00It was a great journey, as we visited the whole national forest park in one day. The guide was very good communicating with us, great command of english and Chinese. It helped us get familiar with the park and saved us a lot of time, although it's also good to take more time for visiting completely.

5.00The tour was very interesting and optimally organized considering the distances to travel. The guides Liz and Phoenix were competent and attentive to the needs of the participants. I would recommend this tour to optimize times as the Zhangjiajie Park is very articulated in the movements

5.00I had a great time on this 2 days tour thanks to the organization of the agency and the guides Liz and Phoenix who were very prepared, attentive and helpful. The itinerary is intense but well balanced as times and movements. The places are magnificent but very dispersive as a location so to save time I recommend relying on a tour like this.
What incredible couple of days!

5.00Wow, wow oh and wow! What a couple of perfect days this tour was! Had Zoe day 1 and Liz 2 and we couldn’t possibly have had a better pair of young, knowledgeable and formidable women! The explanations, information and planning for the day were spot on! Highly recommended!
absolutely amazing! 10 from 10

5.00The 2-day trip was absolutely amazing. Everything worked out just the way we imagined—always on time and completely smooth. November is truly the best time to travel: not crowded, no waiting times, and the weather was perfect—sunny with clear skies! Our group was wonderful, and we made, shared, and discovered so many beautiful memories together. Our tour guide, Phoenix, was fantastic—very friendly, helpful, talkative, and entertaining! Her English was excellent, and she was simply such a great person. I would recommend this trip to anyone. I traveled with my partner and two friends, and everyone was very satisfied! We will definitely come back and continue booking with this travel agency—and recommend it to others as well. This is already the 3rd time booking trips trough this agency! ;) regards Sherilyn M.Linh Tran

5.00An incredible experience well worth it for anyone to experience breathtaking natural beauty. Special mention has to go to our tour guide Jason (LJ) who was incredibly experienced and passionate in taking us around the city and nation park, he provided constant support and information. Our trip would not nearly be as smooth and enjoyable without him and his constant energy and kindness, supporting our itinerary without being overbearing he perfectly acted as a bridge between the places we went, their history/ culture and us. The scenery of the national park was incredible and breathtaking and I could not imagine a more enjoyable and smooth running trip
LJ is the best tour guide in Zhangjiajie!

5.00LJ is the best tour guide in Zhangjiajie! He is incredibly knowledgeable, and truly deserves to be promoted to a supervisory role so he can train others to be just like him. LJ was a caring gentleman who genuinely spoiled us throughout our trip. He always made sure we had everything we needed and consistently went above and beyond what was included in our itinerary. He accommodated us in every way possible. Because he grew up in Zhangjiajie, he made our visit exceptionally smooth and enjoyable. His English was excellent, and he is one of the hardest-working tour guides we’ve ever met. If you want the best experience in Zhangjiajie, ask for LJ! Thank you so much, LJ!
WHAT A PERFECT PLACE!!
