Dense but smartly sequenced, with the biggest scenery saved for last. If you only have three days, these are the right three days!
It poured on the morning of day two. Proper rain, not drizzle. Our guide called around, moved the covered sections forward and we still got the forest park in the afternoon once it dried up. That is real guiding, not reading a script. He also lent me a spare umbrella because I had left mine on the bus, which was kind.
The Bailong lift is a feat of engineering, the queue moved fast, and seeing the columns from above was the shot I came for. No regrets.
Good balance of guided time and a bit of freedom - we had enough slack each afternoon to sit down with a coffee instead of running for a bus.
I will be honest, I nearly cancelled this because three days sounded too short to be worth the travel. I was wrong. Day one was Tianmen Mountain, arriving in the afternoon and going straight up on the cableway - the 999 steps up to Tianmen Cave are brutal but there are escalators through the mountain that take most of the sting out, and they were included. Day two was the full forest park with the cableway at Huangshizhai, the walk along Golden Whip Stream, Yangjiajie and Tianzi Mountain, then a night at a basic guesthouse up near the park which was fine for one night. Day three was Yuanjiajie and the Avatar columns, the Bailong lift and Ten-Mile Gallery before a transfer to the airport. Our guide Cindy kept it moving without ever making it feel like a march, and her english was excellent. My advice: pack light, bring proper shoes, and do not expect much from the second hotel. Everything else was better than I hoped for.
