Today you’ll explore the highlights of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, including Yuanjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, and the Ten-Mile Gallery. Transportation options such as elevators, cable cars, and sightseeing trains will enhance your tour experience without requiring extensive hiking. The most exciting part would be ascending the glass-deck Bailong Elevator, the world’s highest, which will take you to a mountain top over 300 meters high in a minute and a half.

To protect the environment, visitors must use the scenic area’s shuttle bus to travel between each site. Your guide will accompany you throughout the trip and may adjust the itinerary to avoid large crowds.

Continue exploring the forest park today. Take a leisurely hike along the Golden Whip Stream, breathing in the fresh air. You may encounter wild monkeys along the way; however, for safety reasons, avoid feeding them and keep a safe distance. The round-trip hike (return the same way you came) may take two to three hours, depending on your pace.

In the afternoon, enjoy a scenic boat cruise on Baofeng Lake, surrounded by lush vegetation and towering peaks. As your trip concludes in the late afternoon, be transferred to the airport for your onward flight.

  • u003cemu003eu003cemu003eWe visited both Xi’an and Shanghai under Jiuhong’s arrangement and received the same first-class service in both cities. The guides were knowledgeable, flexible, and happy to discuss all aspects of modern China — giving insights difficult to obtain elsewhere. Strongly recommended.u003c/emu003eu003c/emu003e
