This two-day guided tour offers a family-friendly itinerary through the iconic peak forests of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and Tianmen Mountain. The adventure begins on day one at Wulingyuan, where families ride the Bailong Elevator up to the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area to see the famous Qiankun Column—the inspiration for Avatar's floating mountains. After exploring Tianzi Mountain’s panoramic viewpoints, guests take the Tianzi Cableway down to the valley floor.
The afternoon features a gentle, flat hike along the picturesque Golden Whip Stream (Jinbianxi). This relaxing path runs alongside clear mountain streams beneath towering stone pillars, offering a fun opportunity to spot wild macaques in nature. Day two focuses on the thrilling landscapes of Tianmen Mountain, starting with a scenic cableway ride to the mountain top for a walk along the famous Glass Skywalk and the cliffside Guigu Plank Road.
The journey continues with visits to the summit’s ancient Tianmen Temple before riding the through-mountain escalator down to Tianmen Cave and the Stairway to Heaven. Concluding with an express cableway ride down and a shuttle transfer back to town, this tour ensures an engaging, memorable, and well-paced experience for travelers of all ages.
