Itinerary
Day 1 · Zhangjiajie National Forest Park ( Avatar Mountain)
-
Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan Scenic Area
one hour Admission not included
Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in China's Hunan Province, is renowned for its surreal landscape of towering sandstone pillars, deep ravines, and dense forests shrouded in mist. Its iconic peaks, like the 'Avatar Hallelujah Mountain,' inspired the floating mountains in the famous movie. With breathtaking vistas, thrilling glass walkways, and rich biodiversity, this natural wonder attracts adventurers, photographers, and nature enthusiasts from around the world.
-
BaiLong Elevator
20 min Admission not included
Bailong Elevator, the 'Hundred Dragons Sky Lift,' is a jaw-dropping glass elevator built onto a 330-meter cliff in Zhangjiajie. As the world's tallest outdoor lift, it rockets visitors up the mountain in just 88 seconds, offering dizzying views of the sandstone pillars below. This engineering marvel (and occasional adrenaline rush) cuts hours off hikes while creating a thrilling shortcut to Wulingyuan's iconic peaks.
-
Stop 3
2 hours
Yuanjiajie – Where Avatar's "Hallelujah Mountains" come to life. This crown jewel of Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan stuns with its forest of 1,000m quartzite pillars, cliff-hugging trails above swirling mists, and iconic stone bridges forged by 300 million years of erosion. The ultimate "floating peaks" experience.
-
Tianzi Mountain
2 hours Admission not included
Tianzi Mountain, hailed as the "Soul of Zhangjiajie," is famed for its jagged peaks, towering stone pillars, and breathtaking sea of clouds. Landmarks like the "Emperor's Writing Brush" and "Fairy Scattering Flowers" appear divinely sculpted, while the summit offers a panoramic view of Wulingyuan's surreal landscape, especially enchanting when mist swirls around the peaks.
-
Tianzi Mountain Clouds
30 min Admission not included
The sea of clouds at Tianzi Mountain is one of Zhangjiajie's most magical spectacles. When mist rises after rain, rolling clouds engulf the peaks, leaving only jagged summits floating like islands—straight out of Avatar's Pandora. At sunrise, golden light spills across the cloud waves, turning the sky into a molten masterpiece of nature.
-
Ten Miles Gallery
one hour Admission not included
The 5.8km-long Shili Gallery is a natural sculpture museum where a scenic train glides past towering karst formations like "Herbal Gatherer" and "Three Sisters Peaks". With blooming wildflowers in spring and crimson foliage in autumn, this valley transforms into a living Chinese landscape painting - Wulingyuan's most picturesque walking trail.
Day 2 · Glass Bridge and Tianmen Mountain
-
Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge
3 hours Admission not included
The most thrilling thing that will welcome you is the world’s highest and longest transparent Glass Bridge that spans the canyon. Be brave to walk on it to experience the feeling of strolling in the air while beholding the stunning panorama.
-
Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park
5 hours Admission not included
Soaring above Zhangjiajie, Tianmen Mountain offers a journey to the heavens itself. Its most breathtaking feature is the monumental Tianmen Cave, a natural arch piercing the summit that serves as a gateway to the skies. Visitors ascend via one of the world's longest cableways, gliding over the vertigo-inducing 99-Bend Road below. At the peak, the Cliff-Hanging Walkway provides heart-pounding, panoramic views of the lush valleys and towering pinnacles, while the ancient Tianmen Temple, perched precariously on the cliff's edge, adds a profound sense of history and tranquility. This majestic landscape is a powerful symphony of natural wonder and human spirit.
