Explore Zhangjiajie National Park and Tianmen Mountain on a 3-day guided tour, featuring Yuanjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, Golden Whip Stream, and the glass skywalk.
This comprehensive three-day guided itinerary highlights the best natural wonders of Zhangjiajie and Tianmen Mountain. The journey begins on the first day with hotel pickup and a drive to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Guests spend the day discovering the core scenic areas of Wulingyuan, including Yuanjiajie—home to the towering peaks that inspired Avatar—along with the rugged terrain of Yangjiajie and the panoramic vistas from Tianzi Mountain.
The second day explores the park’s serene valleys and unique engineering landmarks. Visitors enjoy a scenic walk along the winding Golden Whip Stream, renowned for its clear waters and surrounding cliffside views. The tour continues through the picturesque Shili Gallery canyon and proceeds to the famous Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, providing incredible aerial views over the surrounding canyon landscapes.
The final day focuses on Tianmen Mountain, starting with a walk across the famous Glass Plank Road suspended high above the cliffside. Travelers then visit Tianmen Cave, a massive natural hole carved through the mountain that creates a grand entryway into the clouds. With private hotel transfers and guided sightseeing each day, this tour offers a seamless way to experience China’s iconic peak forests.
