Route Map

Your guide and driver meet you at Zhangjiajie Hehua Airport or the high-speed railway station, ready to whisk you into the heart of the city. The drive to your hotel takes about thirty minutes, passing through local neighborhoods that hint at the green peaks ahead. Check in, freshen up, and settle into the calm before the adventure begins. If you have energy to spare, the riverfront promenade is a pleasant stroll for the evening. We will confirm your exact pickup time after booking so it matches your flight or train schedule.
Today's Highlights
After breakfast, your guide takes you to Qixing Mountain, where a cable car lifts you above the canopy in minutes. At the 1520 Sky Eye platform, you stand on a glass disc suspended over a sheer drop — the valley floor seems impossibly far below. A short walk brings you to the Glass Walkway, a transparent path clinging to the cliff face. From there, you wander through Tianjie Town, a cluster of local shops and tea houses perched on the ridge. The cable car ride back down offers one last sweeping view before you return to the hotel for the evening.

Alpine Track Slide – Treetop Rush

Today is the highlight of your trip. A scenic train winds through the Ten-Mile Gallery, where limestone peaks rise like scrolls of ink painting on either side. At the base of Yuanjiajie, the Bailong Elevator shoots you up 326 meters in under two minutes — the fastest outdoor lift in the world. Up top, you stand on the very pillar that inspired the floating Hallelujah Mountain in Avatar, cross the Natural Stone Bridge, and gaze out from Lost Soul Platform. After lunch, you continue to Tianzi Mountain, where Helong Park, Imperial Writing Peak, and the West Sea Stone Forest deliver more jaw-dropping panoramas. The day ends with a cable car ride back to the valley.

Absolutely. This is a private tour, so your guide adjusts timing and stops based on your interests. Add rest days, swap attractions, or extend the trip — just let us know.
