Zhangjiajie in China is well-known for the fantastic mountains, which is also a world heritage site. This 3-day tour will let you travel by 2.5-hour fast train from Changsha to Zhangjiajie, where you will walk up the picturesque Tianmen Gateway, Tianzi Mountain to view the prototype mountain of the movie AVATAR, walk on the glass bridge, and enjoy the amazing landscape of Tianmen Mountain... etc.
At 8am, you will be picked up from lobby of centrally located Changsha hotel, and you will take 2.5-hour fast train ride to Zhangjiajie. You will visit the Zhangjiajie Canyon Glass Bridge this afternoon.
Note: If the glass bridge is closed due to the weather, you will visit Huanglong Cave (Yellow Dragon Cave instead).
Today, you will be transferred (approximately 1 hour) to Zhangjiajie National Park. The adventure begins with a breathtaking ascent on the glass-walled Bailong Elevator, which swiftly transports you to the Yuanjiajie summit for unparalleled cliffside views. Here, you will encounter the monumental "Avatar Hallelujah Mountain," the soaring pillar-like landscape that inspired James Cameron’s blockbuster film.
In the afternoon, continue to Tianzi Mountain, celebrated as the "Monarch of the Peak Forest." This scenic area offers spectacular panoramic vistas and is famed for its four natural wonders—most notably the ever-shifting Sea of Clouds.
Your tour concludes with a visit to the picturesque Ten-Mile Gallery, a tranquil valley adorned with stunning rock formations. For a relaxed yet immersive experience, you will enjoy a one-way ride on the electric sightseeing train.
Drive to Tianmen Mountain, then walk along the road leading to Gateway of Heaven. The glass walkway makes it so distinctive. You will take Tianmen Mountain Cableway or sightseeing bus to explore Tongtian Avenue (a way to Heaven), Tianmen Cave (Heaven Gateway), Tianmen Temple, Tianmen glass walkway, Ghost-valley plank road, and Yunmeng Fairy Summit. You will take a small cable to the main cable, then take the world's longest cableway, with a length of 7455 meters and elevation of 1518 meters to go down.
Afterwards you will take 2.5-hour fast train ride back to Changsha. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your centrally located Changsha hotel where the trip concludes.
