Great tour - very well organised. Easy to WeChat the company and guide. Lots of stops at viewpoints and free time to take photos. Mia our guide was fab, she was very informative and her English was great - she did well at keeping everyone together and offered to take photos which were great! Would recommend

Itinerary
Day 1
1
Congratulations on finding a truly all-inclusive tour with no surprise costs! In addition to all entry tickets, we cover every in-park elevator, cable car, escalator, and shuttle, making it effortless for travelers of all ages to conquer the iconic peaks and canyons.
Your guide and driver will greet you in your hotel lobby to kick off our journey to the Forest Park. To maximize your time and stay ahead of the crowds, we suggest booking a hotel near the park’s East Gate.
Upon entry, soar up the cliffside Bailong Elevator, the world’s tallest and fastest, to reach the summit in just 88 seconds, saving your energy for an unhurried, immersive hike. From its glass cabin, watch in awe as thousands of towering karst peaks drop beneath you.
Your expert guide will lead you on a shortcut to the best vantage point overlooking the main star: the ‘Avatar’ Hallelujah Mountain. Then, navigate the cliffside trails of Yuanjiajie to admire nature’s finest masterpieces like the Back Garden, Enchanting Platform, and First Bridge Under Heaven. Meals are intentionally left flexible. We recommend having a hearty breakfast and packing some snacks. Fast-food outlets are the most reliable for lunch: Dicos in Yuanjiajie, McDonald’s at Tianzi Mountain, and McDonald’s near Tianmen Mountain on Day 2. Local dishes tend to be spicy and greasy; if you’d like to have a try, we suggest asking for smaller portions and milder flavors.
Board the park shuttle to less-crowded Yangjiajie to admire the spectacle of ‘Natural Great Wall’, formed by rows of pine-covered sandstone peaks dating back 380 million years to the Devonian Period.
Visit Tianzi Mountain, famed as ‘an enlarged bonsai, a miniaturized fairyland’. Marvel at the sea of clouds drifting around the Imperial Brush Peaks and Flower Fairy Peak. Then, relax on a downhill cable car ride, taking in golden-hour views of the peak forest, before your guide and driver escort you back to your hotel.
Day 2
2
Meet your guide and driver at your hotel for a smooth transfer to Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. Prepare for a high-energy day conquering record-breaking thrill sites, with all entry tickets, cableways, and escalators fully included.
Bypass the crowds with your insider guide and head straight to the world’s highest and longest Grand Canyon Glass Bridge. Bravely step onto the crystal-clear deck suspended 100 stories above the canyon floor – a heart-pounding, bottomless chasm right beneath your feet. Feel your legs tremble while marveling at this incredible engineering feat. Enjoy ample time to pose for creative photos, and cheer on brave souls leaping from the world’s highest bungee platform. We promise a pure, no-shopping experience, reserving all your precious time for epic views and unforgettable thrills!
Board the cableway for a magic teleportation from downtown up to the clouds. Stand awestruck before Heaven’s Gate Cave, test your courage on the Glass Skywalk, and use trans-mountain escalators to cover all the highlights effortlessly. Our curated route unlocks secret, local-only viewpoints, showing you not only the fairytale landscape, but also the daring spirit that makes Tianmen Mountain a world-class extreme sports mecca.
Finally, your guide and driver will escort you back to your hotel. Thanks for traveling with us! We offer mini-group and tailored private tour options. Check availability to find the perfect fit for your travel style.

We only did Day 1 of this 2 day tour. Our guide, Zoey, made the whole experience seamless as we moved from location to location. She was cheerful and kept us motivated through some pretty crummy weather. She taught us patience as we waited for the clouds and mist to move along, which paid off at each turn. This day is very long - a solid 7 hours in the park and about 8.5 miles of walking. There are lots of stairs, too. Be prepared to put in a physically active day!
We had a local guide who was born and raised in the area and he knew the place so well that made our trip easier and better. We had a great experience!!
Jiya was very informative, energetic, courteous and made sure the group was given great guidance. She spoke very clearly and made sure to explain anything someone needed clarification.
Even though the weather wasn’t good (rained on the second day), the tour was good. Recommend to others.
Excellent tour run by our guide Archie, who was absolutely outstanding. Gave us lots of time to take pictures and was also extremely informative with a great sense of humour. The weather was excellent and the sights were outstanding.
Lj was a wonderful guide in Zhangjiajie. He grew up in the mountains and knows everything about the area. We covered so much in the tour and Lj ensured it all ran smoothly and that we got to see everything in the tight schedule, with plenty of time for photos everywhere!
We had a great tour with Jiya! She took us to the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge and Tianmen Mountain. She was very friendly and informative. She told us a lot of good stories and helped us navigate our way through the crowds with ease. She also gave us good tips on where to take the best photos. Thank you Jiya!
The mountains are absolutely stunning. We didn't have the best weather so there were some visibility issues, but the itinerary is quite good and there's plenty of 'wow' moments. Be prepared for big crowds, especially coming down from Tinamon Mountain. My only suggestion would be to show more flexibility based on the weather. We've completely skipped one viewing platform on top of the elevator which had a great visibility, just to go straight to Avatar mountains which had 0 visibility.
its 2 day experience. Due the heavy fog we could not see much. Day1 with Wendy on ZJJ National Forest. She was very nice but unfortunately her English was average. Yet she showed us extra places as we cannot see the highs due to fogs. Day2 with Laura was better. Her English is much better. She also organized us in a good way (ticket , lunch etc.) and also showed the little tips nad good parts Thank you both
Emily was a phenomenal and knowledgeable guide. She was able to take us through the park every efficiently. I had a great time.
We booked the two day tour, our hotel was wrong for pick up so it took longer to join the group for the tour and the weather was terrible so it was wet and miserable the whole time and we couldnt see anything. If the weather was better it would have been alright but we also ended up cancelling the second day because the weather didnt get any better.
Jiya was the absolute best tour guide. Extremely fun, professional, reliable & made us feel like a local. She showed us all the best view spots & some incredible memories were made today. Avatar mountains made our day. Jiya has a heart of gold & taught us some local mountain language. Lot of steps- so wear good shoes. Weather was perfect. Incredible tour !!!!
Our tour guides Archie and Jiya did an excellent job! They organized our tour activities efficiently! Thankyou!
LJ - he was very helpful . N informative we really enjoyed his company. He was very well spoken- his English is very good . Its very easy to understand him.he was available to us when we needed any assistance. He went out of his way to help us and make this trip a memorable one. Loved 😍 Zhangjiajie anf JL.
The mountains of Zhangjiajie are beautiful and we had a wonderful guide LJ who taught us so much about this region and this amazing country. He looked after us so well.
The Guide LJ is exceptional. He tried his best to get us to the mountain despite the bad weather. Admissions all included. 3 days visit.
Wow, What an amazing experience. Had an amazing time! Archie was our tour guide; I would definitely recommend booking a tour with him!
The tour was amazing. Daniel our guide took photos and made videos of each day. It was awesome and made it so much more fun. Daniel was informative, patient, caring and friendly. Highly recommend this trip. Had the best time!
Laura was such an incredible tour guide. Despite some unexpected fog, we were able to see so many beautiful sights as well as some monkeys!!
Awesome 2 days seeing unbelievable sights around Zhangjiajie. Mary our guide kept things organized and was very informative. Great experience!! Highly recommend.
Laura is friendly, enthusiastic, helpful in introducing local food and culture, entertainment places
Laura was the best! So informative, charismatic, and kind. Would do this trip again. Prepare good walking shoes.
Our guide Phoenix was experienced and able to speed us through queues and gave a lot of interesting historical information. In very busy tourist attractions having a guide take you through and point out the best places to take pictures helps a lot. The weather was wet and overcast at times, but she tried to be flexible to get the most out of the time available.
Jiya, our guide has been very accommodating, knowledgeable, and friendly to all of us. She knows great deal about the mountains and gave us good tour of the place even though it rained. She is a great guide.
Jiyan was amazing, she helped us with every single step
Archie was a great guide for our two days. He told us information, made sure everyone in the group was comfortable even in tough weather, and kept our timing on perfect track. Thank you for a great experience and for even helping us to navigate on our day after the tour, Archie!!
The weather was not good but the guides, Zee and Steve, did their best to mange things , luckily we were able to do the 999 steps and that was the highlight, Would recommend the activity as the guides were quite helpful in managing the situation to make the best out of the situation.
A great experience but you have to be lucky with the weather. We had epic views on day 1 but Tianmen mountain was surrounded by fog so we couldn't see the cavern. Still a good day out and Michelle, our guide, was fantastic and made the wholenthing easy and informative.
We were picked up at our hotel by our driver , picked up another guest, and dropped off with the rest of our tour group. We met our enthusiastic tour guide, Laura, before heading out for the Avatar Mountains. She provided brief history and even a little singing snippet before letting us rest for the rest of the car ride. The tour was great, we had an unfortunate amount of fog but Laura was knowledgeable and provided enough freedom to explore on our own. Lots of stairs though so wear good shoes.
Had a great trip up the mountain! Laura was an exceptional guide she took us everywhere I really felt as though I got my money's worth thank you!
Jiya was our tour guide and she was punctual and she provided good service to the group. We finished all the view points as scheduled. She even brought us oranges from her yard to share.
Our tour guide Wendy was great! This 2-day tour can be tiring, but Wendy kept everyone positive. She managed it beautifully and she covered all that was promised on the tour. We had plenty of bathroom breaks throughout the day and she helped us find food. Also, we had a good amount of time at each point to take pictures. We did a lot in two days and I couldn’t have done it on my own.
Amazing experience, Jiya was amazing, very knowledgable and fun and upbeat. Kept us all entertained. Amazing two day experience with her.
Had a wonderful tour with Mary in Zhangjiajie! She was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the places we visited. She took good care of us throughout the trip, explained everything clearly and also brought us to some great photo spots. 📸 The tour was well organised and comfortable, and Mary made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommend Mary if you’re visiting Zhangjiajie! 👍
Our guide was great , she explain everything with great knowledge. Was very patient. Always on time .
This tour was excellent and Archie, our tour guide, did a fantastic job. The operator accommodated a schedule change due to bad weather without any complications or extra charges. Archie and his driver were always on time and ready for the adventure. We loved touring with Archie as he was knowledgeable about the area and able to move us through the sights with ease. We highly recommend working with this tour and particularly with Archie again.
Great tour with Mary! Had an awesome time with the first instalment, looking forward to the second tomorrow
Everything was amazing and the views are stunning. Especially we liked our tour gide Wendy, she explained everything very clearly and interestingly. I would defenetly suggest everyone this trip!!!
Our guide Mia was perfect She was kind , extremely patient and friendly. Our trip was unforgettable
What a great experience . Our tour Guide Zoey. Was amazing. Fully recommended 2 days trip. And you will enjoy it
Absolutely amazing experience getting to see some of China’s most unique and beautiful spots. The hotel pickup/drop off in a comfy air conditioned bus with water provided throughout was great. Archie our guide was incredible and really made the experience run seamlessly. He spoke very good English and gave interesting facts about Chinese history and culture throughout. The scenic spots were unlike anything we’ve ever seen before, it was a very easy tour and we would happily recommend to anyone! Our only note for maybe some improvement is to have a few minutes at the end of the forest day to have 5 mins to take a quick look through the gift shop as there were a few things that caught our eye but we had to bypass to get the bus, but other than that 10/10!
Overall, we had a very positive experience. Our goal was to visit both attractions in a single day without having to worry about any of the logistics, and everything went very smoothly. Of course, we would have loved to spend more time exploring each place in greater depth, but there simply isn’t enough time to do everything in one day. We’ll definitely have to come back and visit again at a more relaxed pace. One of the highlights of the tour was our guide, Jackson. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about everyone in the group. He brought rain ponchos in case it rained, provided bottled water, and constantly made sure that everyone was comfortable and enjoying the trip. The only slightly negative aspect, which is something you can expect on any group tour, was having to wait for other people from time to time. However, that’s simply part of traveling in a group.
Wonderful experience. Pickup from hotel on time. Many viewpoints, the trip included both the "Avatar mountains" and Tianzi mountain.
We got the 2 day tour and were lucky to get Archie as our tour guide. We are very thankful to Archie for making our trip a great one. He was very nice and made the whole group feel very welcomed.
Zhangjiajie Scenic Spot covers a vast area, and you need at least three days to fully appreciate its unique rock formations. Cloud and rain often block the views. Rain fell halfway through our tour, making some paths inaccessible. Fortunately, tour guide Jianing took great care of us. She introduced natural scenery and local culture patiently, adjusted the pace suitable for seniors and children, and recommended authentic local snacks. She was gentle and professional, the best surprise of this trip.
Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area deserves two full days to explore, featuring breathtaking peaks and sea of clouds. The mountain weather is unpredictable. Thick fog covered many viewing platforms in the morning during our trip. The highlight of our journey was our tour guide Lynn. Young, thoughtful and professional, she explained the mountain’s geological features and local folk customs thoroughly. She arranged a reasonable sightseeing route. I highly recommend booking this tour and requesting Lynn.
1st day: we travelled with Mandy, she was an excellent and highly knowledgeable tour guide. She showed us great views, guided us in a simple & easy to follow way, and helped us with a lost glasses retrieval which was just going above and beyond. 5/5 experience! 2nd day: we went with Archie, who similar to Mandy was extremely knowledgeable and easy to follow. Both tour guides took great pictures and elevated the experience greatly, as well as taking care of any potential hassle with ticket booking!
Had a great experience with our guide Oscar. He was organized and responsible. He helped us find the best views and helped with restaurant reservations. Would highly recommend!
The experience was amazing ! We literally covered nearly everything ! Both guides where just amazing , laura and bay-lee knew there stuff and their English was great ! Was a wee bit upset that we weren't allowed to add on the zip line at an additional cost ! Seemed a waste while we where there. However Bay-lee made our time on the mountain fun.
