Highlights

Zhangjiajie

Take a welcome break from the ancient built wonders and busyness of China to enjoy spectacular natural scenery. Be thrilled by precipitous peaks and challenging structures that take you up close and personal with China’s natural wonders.

Itinerary

Zhangjiajie Day tour

You will be picked up at your hotel at the time confirmed with your guide in advance. Settle into a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to begin the tour to Tianmen Mountain. The world’s longest cable car ride will take you to the mountain top, providing a “bird’s eye view” of the amazing scenery below featuring grotesque rocks. On arrival enjoy splendid views of the garden in heaven as you become immersed in the misty fairyland full of sky-kissing ancient trees, mossy stones and peculiar rocks. Be exhilarated by walking carefully along the famous Sky Walk, the transparent glass plank road hugging the cliff. Lunch will be well deserved, whether purchased from local vendors or prepared beforehand and brought with you.

Further wonder awaits as you move on an 897 meter long escalator to the most marvelous and remarkable feature of the mountain, Tianmen Cave, located halfway up the peak. Views from the cave offer splendid photo opportunities, especially of the stunning 999 stairs. An escalator will take you to the foot of the mountain to catch the shuttle bus for the thrill of travelling the 99 bends while the bus winds downhill. The wonderful day tour to Tianmen Mountain concludes and you will be transferred back to your hotel.

Tripadvisor score Amazing China

Aug 2025 • Couples

We had a great 14 day trip with a week gap in the middle to attend the world games in Chengdu. With only three weeks before we departed Dora provided a draft itinerary in 2 hours that required only minor changes. Dora was always available to sort any issues for the whole trip - but tracking down our lost luggage was an outstanding effort. In Guilin we were greeted by Joanne who made our first days in China very memorable, Longji rice terraces and trying local food were highlights. Thanks for the thoughtful train snacks Joanne. Lucy met us at Zhangjiajie and was great company as well as a great guide especially in the amazing and extensive Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Thanks for the local restaurant tips Lucy. The fast train across the mountains that divide southern and northern China to Xi’an, led us to Helen and her driver who covered both exits to ensure we did not get lost. Helen shared her love and vast knowledge of ancient China - terracotta warriors, and the amazing historic and modern Xi’an. Thanks Helen you brought two thousand years of history and the Silk Road to life. Our last fast train brought us to Beijing and the super resilient Lee, preparations for the victory over Japan parade in Tiananmen Square complicated things and meant that despite great effort by Lee and Dora we will have to visit the square next time. Lee managed the situation very well and we enjoyed our forbidden city, summer palace, Hutongs and temple of heaven day followed by a whole day on the Great Wall which was amazing. Thanks Lee, smiling and super cool under pressure. Special thanks to all our drivers, whose skill, patience and endless bottles of water made every trip stress free. All our hotels were well chosen and met or exceeded expectations. China was fascinating, friendly and full of new experiences, China tours made sure we enjoyed every moment. We’ll be recommending them to our friends and hope to come back and explore more of this beautiful country .

We absolutely had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Chinatours.com to assist travelers to build their itinerary. Our itinerary was well outlined to include many wonderful historical sites, fun outdoor markets and beautiful gardens. We were guided by very knowledgeable and friendly tour guides. We especially liked Lee. She was accommodating, knowledgeable about the history of China, introduced us to the many wonderful things about the culture, recommended very good local restaurants, and assured confirmation and safety of our transportation. Chinatours booked us very nice hotels and the transport between cities was seamless. We really enjoyed our time in China and wished we could have stayed longer.
