Zhangjiajie is one of China’s most breathtaking natural wonders — the dramatic landscape that inspired the floating mountains of Avatar. In just 4 days, this tour takes you through its most iconic highlights.
Day 1 begins with a warm airport welcome and a comfortable transfer to your hotel in downtown Zhangjiajie.
Day 2 is a full-day immersion in the Wulingyuan Scenic Area, home to over 3,000 towering quartz sandstone pillars. Ride the world’s tallest outdoor elevator — the Bailong Elevator — up to the pillar peaks, walk through the mystical Yuanjiajie (“Hallelujah Mountains”), and marvel at the endless stone forest from the Enchanting Platform and Tianzi Mountain.
Day 3 brings two unforgettable experiences: walk the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge — the world’s longest and highest glass bridge, suspended 300 meters above the canyon — then cruise peacefully across the serene Baofeng Lake, surrounded by peaks and local folk songs.
Day 4 ends with the spectacular Tianmen Mountain: ride the world’s longest cable car, walk the glass skywalk at 1,430 meters above the valley, explore the cliff-hanging walkways, and pass through the iconic Heaven’s Door natural arch. After this final adventure, you’ll be transferred to the airport or train station for your departure.

Upon your arrival in Zhangjiajie, your driver will meet you at the exit of the Airport or train station and escort you to your hotel.
After breakfast, you will have a whole day to explore Wulingyuan Scenic Area, a spectacular island of nature dominated by more than 3,000 narrow quartz sandstone pillars. First, take a sightseeing bus to Bailong Elevator that within 1.5 minutes you can go from the valley bottom up to the pillar peak. It is the fastest and as well as the tallest outdoor elevator in the world. Next, enjoy the hike into a mysterious Pandora World – Yuanjiajie, where is rightly the shooting location of “Hallelujah Mountains” in reality. Catch the chance to shoot South Sky Pillar, the landmark of Yuanjiajie, about 150 meters high vertically rising high from the deep valley, looking like a giant standing so upright under heaven. Go to the Enchanting Platform for a marvel at the unbelievable scenery with hundreds of various peaks like bamboo shoots towering from the grounds. And then enjoy the lush scenery of Natural Bonsai at Backyard Garden.
Next, take the sightseeing bus to the second tourist site – Tianzi Mountain Nature Reserve which was named after the leader of the local Tujia ethnic group – Xiang Dakun in early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It is a fairyland in moive Monkey King. Hike to He Long Park which has a fascinating viewing deck to appreciate the incredible and magnificent scene of peculiar stone peaks. Move to Dianjiang Terrace to overlook the West Sea Stone Forest, rugged rock rising out of a misty canyon. The last stop today is the Ten-mile Galley. You will take a small green train to explore the beautiful scenery where you will feel like get through a Chinese ink painting. After the tour, get back to your hotel for a good rest.
After breakfast, you will be transferred to the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon for the breathtaking Grand Canyon Glass Bridge experience. The Grand Canyon Glass Bridge wants to say “hello” to you and makes you yell “my god” to give a deeper impression of Zhangjiajie. Suspended between two peaks, the glass bridge is 430 meters long and 300 meters high, which is the longest and highest glass bridge in the world. Standing on the transparent glass is like floating in the air and you can have superb panoramic view of the entire Grand Canyon.
After your “tremble” on the glass bridge, move to the Baofeng Lake to do a scenic cruise to bring you back to peace. Surrounded by green trees and stone peaks of various shapes, Baofeng Lake is an idyllic place for relaxation. When leisurely cruising on the boat, you can see the reflection of the marvelous peaks and enjoy the folk songs performed by the local minority people.
After breakfast, your guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel lobby. Today, you will make a breathtaking visit to Tianmen Mountain, one of the world’s most beautiful mountains. You won’t miss the chance to experience the world’s longest cable car, walk on the glass skywalk, and pay a visit Heaven’s Door and view Avenue toward Heaven with 99 turns.
First, go to take the 30-minute cable car with 7,455 meters in length which means you’ll travel from the city of Zhangjiajie to the top of Tianmen Mountain. From the cable car you will have a perfect view of Heaven’s Door and a shocking look at the wandering Avenue toward Heaven. Next, move to Tianmen Temple where you can enjoy the typical Qing Dynasty styled Buddhist structure with verdant forest surrounding by.
Now, the challenge time is coming. Hold your breath to experience the scary walks on the cliff path hanging on the mountain. Walk on the Glass Skywalk, which is transparent glass 1430 meters above the bottomless valley, giving you a thrilling feeling like walking in the sky. Also, try the 1.6-kilometer-long Cliff-Hanging Walkway, built along the edges of the mountain’s summits. Amazing, isn’t it? After that, go down by escalator from the peak to Tianmen Cave which is also known as “Heaven’s Door”. Tianmen Cave is a natural arch between two peaks of a height of 131.5 meters, rising above the ground and closing to the sky with a lofty and towering posture. It is the highest hole of its sort in the world. (Note: Tianmen Mountain is the famous spot for Wingsuit Flying, you might have a chance to witness this unbelievable sport there.) After the memorable time, take the cable car down the mountain. And then, you will be transferred to Wulingyuan area and have accommodation here.
After the tour, it is time to say goodbye to Zhangjiajie. You will be escorted to the airport/train station for your flight or high speed train to your next destination.

The policy is valid through December 31, 2026, with a maximum stay of 30 days per visit.
If your country is eligible for visa-free entry, you’ll typically need:
If your country is not on the visa-free list, you’ll need to apply for a standard Chinese tourist visa (L visa) before travel.

📌 Visa policies change frequently. Always verify your specific eligibility before booking.

We recommend checking the specific difficulty rating on each tour page and consulting with our team if you have any health concerns or mobility considerations.
International and domestic flights are not included in our tour prices. Our tours are land-based packages — this gives you the flexibility to book flights from your preferred city, airline, or with your own frequent flyer points.

Practical note on accommodation:
If you’re traveling solo and prefer to share a room to avoid the single supplement fee, we can try to match you with another solo traveler of the same gender.
