Itinerary Quick Look

Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests and schedule.

Day1 Depart from Hotel

Early in the morning, you will set off from your hotel in the city center. Along the way, your guide will provide a vivid introduction to the city of Shanghai, ushering you into a day filled with fascinating, immersive experiences.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (Bailong Elevator + Yuanjiajie Scenic Area)

After breakfast, your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel and take you to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park for a full day of exploration.First, head to the Bailong Elevator – one of the world’s most innovative elevator designs and the tallest, fastest outdoor sightseeing elevator. During the 88second ascent, enjoy stunning views of lush mountains, rugged peaks, and drifting mist.

Yuanjiajie Scenic Area

Exit directly into Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, where towering sandstone pillars rise into the clouds. Then move to Yangjiajie, known for its layered cliffs that record billion of years of geological history.

Tianzi Mountain

Later, take a shuttle to Tianzi Mountain (“Son of Heaven” Mountain), named after a local chief who died defending his people. After the tour, your guide and driver will transfer you back to your hotel.

Day2  Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge (Grand Canyon) + Tianmen Mountain

At dawn, your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel and head to Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. You’ll go straight to the Glass Bridge – a walk in the clouds that tests your courage. Built with aviation grade glass, it can hold up to 800 people at once.

Tianmen Mountain

In the afternoon, drive 1.5 hours to Tianmen Mountain, the highest peak in Zhangjiajie. Roundtrip cable cars and mountain escalators are arranged for a comfortable visit. When sunlight shines through the mist around the natural arch (Tianmen Cave), a golden beam falls on the cliffs – a perfect Tyndall effect. Before people understood the science, they believed it was holy light from the gods and made wishes here. Even today, visitors light incense for good luck. Take the seven level escalator up to the mountaintop, where you can walk on a glass skywalk hanging off the cliffs.
