Overview

Experience Zhangjiajie's most iconic sights in one seamless day, linked by private transfers and a 20-minute bullet train that saves 2.5 hours vs driving.

Start in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, riding the Bailong Elevator to explore real-life "Avatar" landscapes, including the floating Hallelujah Mountain and towering stone bridges.

Continue to Tianmen Mountain, where a world-class cableway climbs above the winding 99-bend road. On the summit, walk the cliff-clinging Glass Skywalk, step into the legendary Tianmen Cave, and tackle the 999-step Heavenly Staircase.

In the evening, ride the bullet train to Furong Ancient Town, where private transfers connect you to Slab Stone Street and the town's waterfalls, illuminated after dark. Return by train and transfer straight back to your Zhangjiajie hotel.

Blackout Dates: Chinese New Year (Lunar Jan 1–7); May Day (May 1–5); National Day (Oct 1–7).
