Itinerary

But this world heritage site is popularly known as "Zhangjiajie Scenic Area" rather than "Wulingyuan" mainly because Wulingyuan Scenic Area is under the administration of Zhangjiajie City plus the same name Zhangjiajie National Forest Park within Wulingyuan Scenic Area.
We will using the Tianzi mountain cable car to reach the Tianzi mountain(around 20 minutes) then we will spend 30 minutes here. Tianzi means “Heavenly Prince”. actually, he is the real person who leads the local minority to fight with the government army in Ming Dynasty 500 years ago…Mt. Tianzi Area is the very old battle field. Most of the scenic spots there are combined with historical stories and legends of this honorable man. Besides these, Visually, on the Tianzi mountain top, we can experience the most spectacular view of sandstone peak forest in the park featured by its sharp and slim shape. it’s one of the highlights in Zhangjiajie Scenic Area.
After the Tianzi mountain And then Transfer Yuanjiajie area and we will spend 30 minutes there. Yuanjiajie is the main background of the very Movie: Avatar, located with hundreds of original pieces of “Floating Avatar Mountains”.(The major one is called:”Hallelujah Mountain.” the view there is really impressive like outer-space. No wonder, it’s rated as the most famous highlighted area in the park. The pillars here are bigger-sized than other areas. Moreover, there is a World Highest Sightseeing Elevator (326m) to be experienced which saves us a lot of time for sightseeing more. The only problem for Yuanjiajie is it would be crowded in high tourism season. So just need to be aware of it.
After the Yuanjiajie area, we will head to the Bailong Elevator and we will using this elevator go down of the hill then take a shuttle bus to the car parking lot and then we will continue to Tianmen mountain.
After the Zhangjiajie National park and lunch, Finally we will Transfer to Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park and we will spend 2hrs there.

It’s the highest spot (1500m) in Zhangjiajie,where you can walk on super-exciting cliff-path and glass walkway and see the whole city and beautiful countryside with bird’s view. and the landscape there is totally different from, meanwhile, at the same level as the ZJJ national Park. Both are world-class scenery, so it’s a must-visit highlight of this city you should not miss. What is more Unbelievable? this single mountain holds 4 World Guinness Records in its small body. and any of them will be overwhelmingly impressive to any type of human being. Just an amazing experience you have never had before.

The tour in Zhangjiajie was simply incredible! The mountains are spectacular and the organization of the experience was flawless. Thanks to Mr Andy, the assistance was perfect: they sent the tickets immediately via WhatsApp, with impressive speed, accuracy, and all the necessary instructions. Thanks to this promptness and professionalism, I decided to book more tours with them for the rest of my stay in China. Highly recommended!
Really glad to join this tour that covers the 2 main attractions in Zhangjiajie. The timing is perfect and we did not feel rushed at all. Esther was very friendly and provided commentary as we tour the attractions. 5 star tour guide.
proffesional driver that managed to show me the Tianmen mountain and the Avatar mountain (the glass bridge we didn't manage to visit) in one day.At the end we had a spicy lunch and I was driven to the airport. It was a nice day in the nature,admiring the rocks at Zhangjiajie and the alpine landscape in Tianmen. I would recommend it to anyone who is in lack of time.As usual try to remember exactly what the program contains because the people don't want to show you the monuments so they will try to make a cut (like at the begining the tour guide wanted to show me only the avatar mountains,then I managed to persuade him to show me Tianshi and afterwards Tianmen.The glass bridge I couldn't manage.)
Bree was our China Highlights guide for this two day stay. When she met us she wore Miao costume and sang a charming and sad sounding song about courting. She spoke English as if it were her first language and said her sister taught her. I think she was good linguist and a very nice person. We went with her in a fast spacious gondola where we practised English with two teenagers. The scenery, of steep eroded peaks and improbable vegetation growing from crevices, is captivating. We admired the Tianmen cave along with thousands of other visitors but somehow Bree found uncrowded places for viewing and good timing to avoid cable car crowds.
I had a great experience in Zhangjiajie and was able to see the National forest park and Tianmen mountain within the day . Had a great tour guide called Eric for the day and made trip enjoyable and took some great photos
