Description
Discover the Avatar Mountains and more on a private, customizable multi-day tour of Zhangjiajie. Enjoy the flexibility of a private tour with a dedicated guide and driver.
Begin your adventure with a warm welcome at Zhangjiajie Hehua International Airport or Zhangjiajie West Railway Station. Transfer to your pre-arranged hotel, conveniently located near the park entrance. Depending on your arrival time, enjoy a leisurely visit to Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon or simply relax and acclimatize.
In the evening, opt for a cultural feast at the Charming Xiangxi Show, a spectacular live performance showcasing the traditions of the local Tujia and Miao ethnic groups.
On day two, enter the core of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dedicate the day to the wonders of Yuanjiajie and Tianzi Mountain. Take a scenic cable car ride up the mountain, saving energy for the spectacular walks ahead. Walk on the First Bridge under the Sun, marvel at the Avatar Hallelujah Mountain (Qiankun Pillar), and explore the Emperor's Throne platform on Tianzi Mountain.
Descend via the Tianzi Mountain Cable Car or the dramatic Bailong Elevator (Glass Elevator), built right into the cliff face. For avid hikers, incorporate a more challenging trail. For photographers, time the visit for the best light.
On day three, explore the valley floor. Hike along the stunning Golden Whip Stream, a flat, picturesque path flanked by towering peaks. This is an easier walk, perfect for all ages and often frequented by mischievous monkeys.
In the afternoon, experience the Ten-Mile Gallery. Choose to walk the paved path or take a charming little train while enjoying the views of iconic rock formations like the Three Sisters Peak and Scholar Reading Book. Add a visit to Laozi Valley or a more secluded trail to avoid crowds.
On day four, venture to Tianmen Mountain National Park, famous for its thrilling transit and jaw-dropping engineering. Experience the world's longest cable car ride from the city center to the summit. Walk on the Glass Skywalk clinging to the cliff's edge for a heart-pounding view straight down.
Witness the breathtaking Tianmen Cave (Heaven's Gate), a natural archway through the mountain, which you can view from a distance or climb the 999 steps to reach. Drive along the 99-Bend Road with your private driver for incredible photo opportunities.
On day five, enjoy a final morning at leisure. Perhaps revisit a favorite spot, do some souvenir shopping, or savor a local Hunanese meal. Your guide and driver will transfer you to the airport or train station for your onward journey, filled with unforgettable memories.
