Guangzhou

Your journey starts as a private driver greets you in the lobby of your Guangzhou hotel, ensuring a smooth transfer to the railway station for your high - speed train bound for Zhangjiajie. Upon arrival, your local guide and driver will be waiting at the exit, ready to whisk you away to the enchanting Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon.

Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge

The Grand Canyon is a hidden gem, a verdant chasm carved by millennia of water erosion. As you meander along the winding paths, the sounds of cascading waterfalls and chirping birds serenade you. When you reach the highlight of the visit, the world - famous Glass Bridge, your guide will share fascinating facts about its construction, a marvel of modern engineering that seems to float above the canyon. Suspended 300 meters in the air, the transparent bridge offers heart - stopping views of the abyss below and the majestic peaks surrounding you. Feel the thrill as you step onto the glass, watching your reflection merge with the breathtaking scenery. At the end of the day, we recommend checking into a hotel in Wulingyuan(please book on your own), a prime location for exploring the rest of Zhangjiajie's attractions.

BaiLong Elevator

Today, ascend to new heights as you meet your guide and driver for an extraordinary journey through the heart of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. To reach Yuanjiajie, we'll take the Bailong Elevator, an absolute marvel that has rightfully earned its title as the world’s fastest elevator. Standing at a staggering vertical height of 326 meters, it rockets you up the cliff face in a mere 1 minute and 58 seconds. As you ascend, the view unfolds in a spectacular manner. Initially, the elevator rides within a shaft, but in a few seconds, the doors open to a breathtaking panorama. Towering sandstone pillars, like nature's own skyscrapers, stand tall on all sides, seemingly defying gravity. These unique karst formations, crafted over millions of years by the ceaseless forces of erosion, create a sight that is both otherworldly and awe - inspiring.

Yuanjiajie, the inspiration behind Avatar’s floating mountains, is a wonderland of natural beauty. Here, the towering sandstone pillars seem to have been plucked from a fantasy world. The Hallelujah Mountain, also known as the South Pillar of Heaven, stands as a majestic symbol of this place. Its impressive height and unique shape make it the focal point of the area, and it's easy to see why it was the main inspiration for the floating mountains in the movie Avatar. Another highlight is the First Natural Bridge in the World. This natural wonder is a thick slab of rock that defies the odds, spanning across two cliffs to create a bridge high above the valley below. As you walk across it, you can't help but marvel at the power of nature that crafted such a delicate yet sturdy structure.

Tianzi Mountain

After exploring Yuanjiajie, continue your adventure to Tianzi Mountain. During the ride on the Tianzi Mountain Cableway for a panoramic view above the forest canopy, your guide will identify the different formations and tell you ancient folk stories related to the mountains. As you glide through the air, soaking in the sight of thousands of sandstone pillars stretching as far as the eye can see, their shapes and sizes varying in a mesmerizing display of nature's artistry, your guide's commentary will deepen your appreciation of this natural wonder. At the end of this exhilarating day, your guide will accompany you back to your hotel, helping you reflect on the day's highlights and preparing you for the next day's adventures.

Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park

On your final day in Zhangjiajie, prepare to be awestruck by the grandeur of Tianmen Mountain, with your guide leading the way. Take a scenic cable car ride, one of the longest in the world, soaring high above the city and into the clouds. As you ascend, your guide will explain the changing landscapes, from urban sprawl to wild, untamed beauty. At the mountaintop, as you explore the network of walkways and viewpoints, each offering a unique perspective of the mountain's dramatic cliffs and deep valleys, your guide will share historical anecdotes and cultural significance of the area. The crown jewel of Tianmen Mountain is the Tianmen Cave, a natural archway carved into the mountain by the forces of nature. As you climb the 999 steps leading to the cave, your guide will share spiritual and cultural interpretations of this sacred place, making the journey feel like a true pilgrimage. Standing at the entrance of the cave, with the wind swirling around you and the mist rising from below.
