Your guide will meet you in your hotel lobby at 9:00 AM (pickup time may vary depending on weather or local conditions). Begin your journey to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, where you’ll take the eco-friendly shuttle bus to Tianzi Mountain and ride the cable car up for breathtaking views. Visit highlights including the Imperial Brush Peaks, Xihai Stone Forest, and Fairy Lady Presenting Flowers. Continue to the lesser-known Laowuchang (Sky Garden), an undeveloped and peaceful area away from the crowds. Known for its stunning scenery, it is a favorite spot for photographers, especially at sunrise. Here, you’ll see the unique “Sky Field Garden,” a small patch of rice fields perched among the dramatic sandstone peaks and still farmed by local people.

Afterward, take the eco-shuttle bus to the Yuanjiajie area, known for its spectacular panoramic views of the national park. You’ll have time to grab a quick meal before continuing your exploration. Enjoy a scenic hike of about 1.5 hours to visit the famous “Pillar of the Southern Sky,” the real-life inspiration for the “Hallelujah Mountains” in the movie Avatar. Continue to the Enchanting Terrace (Platform of Forgetfulness) for breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, then walk across the No.1 Bridge Under Heaven. End your tour with a thrilling descent by the Bailong Elevator, the world’s tallest outdoor lift.
