Highlights
- Zhangjiajie National Forest Park - At 9am, your private guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel and take you to Wulingyuan Scenic Area, where Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is located, to visit its two most classic and popular attractions.
- Tianzi Mountain - Take a cable car up to Tianzi Mountain, and you will see large areas of grotesque peaks thrusting up. Walking along the steps spectacular views unfold in front of you from different angles.
- Yuanjiajie - In the afternoon, ride a public shuttle bus to Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, whose mountains are said to be the inspiration for Avatar’s Hallelujah Mountain. This area is the most visited area due to its fame. It takes about 1 hour to walk the tourist trails, before you take the shuttle bus for the cable car down the mountain.
Your trip will come to an end around 5pm and you will be dropped back to your hotel in Zhangjiajie city center. Transfer to the train station for your departure train is also workable.
- BaiLong Elevator - There is another option for getting down the mountain - Bailong Elevator. This glass elevator was built on the side of a cliff, and it claims to be the world’s highest of its kind. It takes only 2 minutes, but at peak times you might need to queue one or two hours to take it. If you are interested in taking the elevator, tell your guide in advance, so that he/she can arrange beforehand to avoid the long queues.

Beautiful Zhangjiajie - Highly recommend this full day tour to Zhangjiajie! The tour company was very accommodating of our change in plans. Eileen was such a great tour guide, we really enjoyed talking with her and learning more about the area. The views were absolutely stunning and well worth the visit to Zhangjiajie. The park was very crowded but Eileen was able to get us through lines rather quickly. Thank you Eileen!!

Solo female trip - As a female solo traveller it was reassuring for the pick up and drop off, to and from my hotel offer. I think Anna (my English speaking tour guide) was both very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. She knew the mountains major hot spots, some of which were less congested and away from other competitions tours. Time well spent. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended tour! - This was an amazing tour. Everything was so well organized and Wendy was an incredible tour guide. She took me to so many “hidden” spots that had amazing viewpoints and with no tourists! Her command of English was also excellent and she was very pleasant and friendly.

Great experience, amazing tour guide - We spent the day with Carrie and had an amazing time here. Carrie was super helpful right from the start. She was a wealth of knowledge. We had a private tour for just our group. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the highlights in a day. Well worth it!

To see all in one day - First of all we were at the park at May holiday. It was bad weather - cliuds and rain and huge amount of people. We spend so much time in the queues
It was our mistake to take tour with so many points of interests. From my point of view it is easy to take only half of this point and have time to take walk at the sky with out rush.
Our guide was Linda. Very pollite and friendly. She did her best to give us possibility to see the best places and enjoy the walk. Thank you her very much.

Hole day trip in Zangjiajie National park - Nice park, with nice view from the bottom. But we was not lucky with the weather and absolute no view from the top.
The guide was very nice and service minded but we paid a very expence rate for english speaking guide. But his English was very poor and very difficult to understand.
Further this is a full day trip, but lunch is not included. It is several lunch possibilities, but all extremely noisy and the qulity of the food we had was poor.
All in all i recomended to stay away from this trip. It is far to expensive, you do not get the value for money.
