Travel Itinerary
D1-Morning - Yuanjiajie for Avatar peaks and major viewpoints
Upon arrival, your guide will manage your entry tickets and escort you onto the scenic park shuttle to reach the base of the engineering marvel, the Bailong Elevator. Ascending over 300 meters up a sheer cliffside in a glass cabin, you will instantly enter Yuanjiajie, the core scenic zone famous for its towering pillars. Wander along the cliffside trails to witness the world-famous Avatar Hallelujah Mountain (formerly Southern Sky Column), the dizzying heights of Mihun Stage (Lost Soul Platform), and the spectacular First Bridge Under Heaven.
D1-Afternoon - Tianzi Mountain
In the afternoon, continue your exploration to the Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area, known as the "Monarch of the Peak Forest," where thousands of brush-like peaks rise majestically out of deep valleys. After marveling at the panoramic views, descend via the scenic Tianzi Mountain Cableway. Your driver will then transfer you to your premium 4-diamond hotel for a relaxing evening.
Optional Upgrades:
- Upgrade to a luxury 5-diamond or international brand hotel
- Add an evening ticket to the spectacular Charming Xiangxi cultural show
- Include a traditional Tujia minority cultural experience and specialty dinner.
D2 - Tianmen Mountain
Following a fresh buffet breakfast at your hotel, your guide and driver will pick you up for an exhilarating day at Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park, the soul of Zhangjiajie. Your journey begins with a ride on the Tianmen Mountain Cableway, one of the longest alpine cableways in the world, which whisks you from the bustling city center directly up into the clouds.
At the summit, step onto the dramatic mountaintop cliffside walkways suspended over a vertical drop. Put on your provided protective footwear and brave the famous Tianmen Mountain Glass Skywalk, where you can look straight down through transparent glass panels to the forested valleys hundreds of meters below. Your expert guide will lead you through a customized route designed around the morning's weather patterns to capture the best mist-shrouded or clear-sky views.
Next, descend through the interior of the mountain via the massive multi-tiered escalators to reach the magnificent Tianmen Cave (Heaven's Gate), a colossal natural water-eroded karst archway that pierces the cliffside. Walk down the iconic 999 Steps to the Heaven-Linking Avenue or opt for a convenient transit view. In the afternoon, your private vehicle will provide a smooth transfer back to your designated hotel, airport, or high-speed railway station for your onward departure, concluding your unforgettable 2-day private tour.
