Itinerary
In the morning, your guide will greet you at your hotel lobby at the pre-agreed time. Then let’s set out to witness thousands of grotesque karst peaks in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
Upon arrival, ride the Bailong Elevator, the world’s highest cliffside sightseeing lift, which will whisk you to the summit in 88 seconds and allow you to have a first view of the karst pillars.
Get out of the elevator to reach Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, where you can feast your eyes on the extraordinary sights like the ‘Avatar’-filmed Hallelujah Mountain, Back Garden, Enchanting Platform, and No.1 Bridge under Heaven. Feel free to pack some snacks to keep your energy up, or opt for a self-funded lunch. Dining options on the mountain are limited, and the local dishes tend to be quite salty and spicy. For a lighter, more familiar meal, fast-food outlets like Dicos at Yuanjiajie and McDonald's at Tianzi Mountain are better choices.
In the afternoon, take the eco-bus of the park to Yangjiajie Scenic Area, featuring dozens of naturally formed peak walls collectively known as the Natural Great Wall.
Admire more odd-shaped peaks soaring into the clouds, including the Imperial Brush Peaks, Flower Fairy Peaks, and Commanding Terrace. Afterward, get down the mountain by a scenic cable car ride.
Your Zhangjiajie day tour comes to an end, and your guide and driver will escort you back to your hotel. Thank you for traveling with us! Kind Reminder: We provide various tour options, including both mini-group and private tours. Simply check availability and choose the one that best suits your interests.

My time in Zhangjiajie National Park with Chandler was simply wonderful. Not only was Chandler always able to provide information and share lots of interesting stories, but his English skills are rock-solid. This isn’t just, as is often the case with others, about his ability to express himself, but also about his ability to truly understand the travelers and tailor the tour to their individual needs. Thank you, for this fantastic tour.

We'll make sure he knows just how much you appreciated his attentiveness and care. Thank you for choosing us!

A friend and I joined a two-day tour in Zhangjiajie, China, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. On the first day, we explored the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park with our guide, Tracy. On the second day, as scheduled, Laura guided us through the Glass Bridge and the Heavenly Gate (Tianmen Mountain). Both days were exceptionally well organized, and each destination offered breathtaking scenery and unforgettable experiences. What made this tour stand out even more was the professionalism of both guides. Tracy and Laura were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire experience. They shared fascinating historical and cultural insights, made sure everyone was comfortable, pointed out the best viewpoints, recommended great places to eat, and even helped us find the perfect spots for photos. Their guidance made everything smooth and enjoyable from beginning to end. Whether you're traveling alone, with friends, as a couple, or with children, I highly recommend this tour. The itinerary itself is absolutely worth it, but having Tracy and Laura leading the two days made the experience even more memorable. Their professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine care for the group transformed an already amazing trip into an exceptional one. We couldn't have asked for better guides, and we wholeheartedly recommend both of them.
Thank you for such a beautifully detailed and heartfelt review! We're absolutely thrilled that your two-day Zhangjiajie tour was one of the highlights of your trip. Tracy and Laura will be so honored to know that their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care made each day so memorable — from the National Forest Park to the Glass Bridge and Tianmen Mountain. We'll make sure both of them know just how much you appreciated their efforts. Thank you for your wholehearted recommendation!
