Our pick-up service is offered from hotels both in Wulingyuan district that is near the East Gate of the park and also in downtown Zhangjiajie. In the morning, meet our guide in your hotel lobby at the appointed time, and then set out to seek travel delights in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Still remember the dreamy floating Mountains in the sci-fi moive Avatar? This is where you will have a chance to witness the real looks of these epic karst formations.

Hotel Suggestion: East Gate serves as the main gate of the Zhangjiajie Forest Park we will visit, and around it there are plenty of well-conditioned hotels and restaurants. For your convenient access to the Park, we suggest you book a hotel nearby, and the 4-star Expert Village Courtyard Hotel or 5-star Pullman Zhangjiajie Hotel can be a reference.

Stop 1: Bailong Elevator After entering the East Gate, let’s ride in an eco-bus of the scenic area for about 20 minutes to the lower station of the world-renowned Bailong Elevator. Holiday crowds may limit seating. Don't worry! Our guide will assist you while waiting, as the bus runs fast and standing can be unsafe. As the highest, fastest and largest-loaded cliffside outdoor sightseeing elevator in the world, it takes only 88 seconds to finish a length of 335 meters (1,099 feet) to reach the cliff top. And during rising up, a grand scene of the vertical karst pillars will unfold before you, making you feel like entering a fairyland.

Stop 2: Yuanjiajie Scenic Area with Hallelujah Mountain When getting out of the elevator, you will be accompanied to sightsee in the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area. It is right the place where you will find the Qiankun Pillar, which name was changed to the namesake Hallelujah Mountain after the movie Avatar became a hit. Having appeared numerous times on TV, this towering 1,000-meter-plus-high (3,280-feet-plus-high) peak has been known by every Chinese household and is now enjoying a global fame. Also follow the guide to admire other extraordinary pillar sights here like the Back Garden, Enchanting Platform, and No.1 Bridge under Heaven - a naturally formed stone bridge connecting two peaks.

Lunch Break Lunch today is not included. Food options are available on the mountain and our guide will offer suggestions and assistance. However, you are advised to have a hearty breakfast at the hotel this morning and take some snacks to replenish energy anytime.

Stop 3: Yangjiajie Scenic Area with Natural Great Wall After lunch, take the eco-bus to Yangjiajie Scenic Area, the last area developed among the four scenic areas of the Park. This place is right in the infancy stage of peak forest evolution, with continuous peaks unlike Yuanjiajie’s isolated ones. Here, you will be surprised by an out-of-print wonder on Earth, the Natural Great Wall. Every stone peak is uncarved but perfectly arranged together, and from a distance there is quite a bit of the majestic momentum of the Great Wall, which will definitely make you amaze at the magical creativity of nature. Plus thick forests that grow and thrive here and gurgling streams that meander through valleys, it is an attraction not to be missed.

Stop 4: Tianzi Mountain Next, let’s hop on an eco-bus to reach Tianzi Mountain in 30 minutes. Here, thousands of stone pillars rise to the sky, forming a grand peak forest kingdom for you to marvel at. The view here is said to be at its best at sunset, attracting numerous great photographers from all over the world, especially when there is a sea of clouds. During the visit here, our guide will show you the most significant spots including the Helong Park, where five viewing platforms offer all-round views of the Imperial Brush Peaks, named for resembling writing brushes. Admire other stunning sights like Flower Fairy Peaks and Dianjiang Terrace if time and weather allow. Afterwards, the guide will take you down the mountain by cable car.
