Itinerary
Zhangjiajie Day tour
In the morning, you will be met by your guide at your hotel lobby (our guide will contact you in advance to confirm the pickup time). Settle into a comfortable vehicle to begin the tour with a short drive to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, famous for pillar-like peaks and awe-inspiring natural landforms. On arrival, a shuttle bus will take you to Tianzi Mountain for a panoramic view of the mystical peaks and valleys and wonderful photo opportunities. An exciting cable car ride will take you to the top of the mountain. Visitors gain an appreciation of different angles of the mountains and peaks walking along the rugged paths. Hear from your guide the legends about Helong Park, Imperial Brush Peak and West Sea Stone Forest. For lunch, many restaurants and snack stalls are available from which to arrange your own lunch.
A shuttle bus will take you to Yuanjiajie Scenic Area. There you can observe the Southern Sky Column, explore the prototype of “Hallelujah Mountains” from the film Avatar and cross the No. 1 Bridge under Heaven”, an artificial stone bridge hanging between two peaks. Descent from the mountain will be in the spine-tingling glass Bailong Elevator, when a shuttle bus will take you to the captivating Ten-mile Natural Gallery. From a small train you can marvel at the misty karst landscape, thick woods and grotesque rocks as you meander through farms and villages. At the end of the day, a shuttle bus will take you back to the parking lot when you’ll be returned to your hotel.
