Start your exciting excursion today by taking Asia’s highest elevator to the top of a towering mountain, where you’ll admire spectacular views, including the inspiration for the Hallelujah Mountains in the movie Avatar. Midway down the lofty peaks, discover 4-acre farmland, which had fed a local family for over 30 years and now provides a unique and idyllic view. Then, ascend Mt. Tianzi (Emperor Mountain) by cable car for breath-taking panoramic views before descending.

Take a cable car ride up and down Huangshizhai, famed for its panoramic vistas over a forest of sandstone peaks.

Then, delve deeper into Zhangjiajie National Forest Park with a peaceful hike along Golden Whip Stream, where crystal-clear waters wind through lush valleys and dramatic cliffs. Your guide will share fascinating stories behind the scenic spots, while occasional side trails lead you to quieter gems like Luanchuan Slope, Shadao Gorge, and Wangqiaotai Platform, each with rewarding views after some steep steps.

Get a rush of adrenaline as you walk across the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge spanning the Grand Canyon, then delve into the underground world in Yellow Dragon Cave!

A shuttle bus will take you near the 400-meter-long glass bridge. Walking on it, gazing down the running river far below, must be an unforgettable experience. You can make another adventure by taking a ropeway or slide way down before starting your expedition along the valley. The cascades and rivers make it a serene outing, which may ease your tiredness during the 4-mile-long hike.

In the afternoon, marvel at the subterranean palace of ancient stalactites and stalagmites while exploring the Yellow Dragon Cave.

You’ll enjoy views of the tranquil misty mountains during the ride, climb 999 steps to reach Tianmen Cave – a natural hole through the mountainside, a sanctuary for both ancient people seeking immortality and modern wingsuit flying lovers – and experience an exciting walk on the glass walkways by the cliffs.

In the afternoon, your private transfer will escort you to the airport (a 20-minute drive) for your flight or train to your next destination.

  • u003cemu003eu003cemu003eWe visited both Xi’an and Shanghai under Jiuhong’s arrangement and received the same first-class service in both cities.
