Welcome to Zhangjiajie. Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to your hotel in Zhangjiajie. Enjoy your free time in the city if you arrive early.

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.
Today you will take a ride to Huangshizhai, where you will take a cable car up to the mountain where you will see the rocks standing one by one. There are many monkeys in Huangshizhai, and keep some distance from them.
