Your private guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel and take you to Wulingyuan Scenic Area, where Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is located, to visit its two most classic and popular attractions.
Take a cable car up to Tianzi Mountain, and you will see large areas of grotesque peaks thrusting up. Walking along the steps spectacular views unfold in front of you from different angles.
In the afternoon, ride a public shuttle bus to Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, whose mountains are said to be the inspiration for Avatar's Hallelujah Mountain. This area is the most visited area due to its fame. It takes about 1 hour to walk the tourist trails, before you take the shuttle bus for the cable car down the mountain.
There is another option for getting down the mountain - Bailong Elevator. This glass elevator was built on the side of a cliff, and it claims to be the world's highest of its kind. It takes only 2 minutes to ascend to its peak.

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is a natural wonderland. It incorporates mountains, streams, caves, cliffs and forest. The world's longest & highest glass-bottomed bridge is located in this area. Walking along this glass bridge 300 meters above ground-level will be one of the coolest experiences of your tour!
Then drive to Baofeng Lake that is in a basin in the middle of this mountainous area. You need to walk about 20 minutes to reach the lake; then you'll enjoy a 30-minute ride in a wooden boat. It is a leisurely experience as you cruise on the clear water, view hills of various shapes, and enjoy the entertainment of local minority people singing their traditional songs.

Tianmen cave
Your heart will beat fast at Tianmen Mountain on the world's longest cable car, the suspended glass walkway almost a mile (1,430 meters) above the ground, and the '99 Bends' mountain road. Tianmen Mountain is regarded as the 'soul' of Zhangjiajie, its highest mountain. The views include graceful ancient trees, karst hillocks and long roads that are carved from the sides of the cliff. The cable car takes 30 minutes from the city center to the mountain top and is the longest cable in the world. Tianmen Cave (literally 'Heaven's Gate Hole') is a 30-meter-high hole formed naturally in the mountain like a doorway, well-known for being glided through by a world-class stuntman in a wing suit. To reach the hole, you can climb for about half an hour up the 'Stairway to Heaven'.
After the trip we will send you to the airport and wave goodbye.

I was nervous about the glass bridge, but it turned out to be the highlight of the trip. The views of the canyon from the bridge are stunning. The Tianzi Mountain area was less crowded than Yuanjiajie, and the views were just as good. Our guide helped us avoid the crowds by starting early. A fantastic 4-day adventure.

This private tour was the perfect way to see Zhangjiajie's highlights. The Bailong Elevator is an engineering marvel, and the view from the top of Yuanjiajie (the Avatar mountains) is surreal. Our guide was flexible and let us set the pace. The only small downside is that day 4 (Tianmen Mountain) felt a bit rushed, but we still saw the main sights. A great value for 4 days.

I loved the variety: towering pillars in Yuanjiajie, the thrilling glass bridge at the Grand Canyon, and the peaceful boat ride on Baofeng Lake. The cable car up Tianmen Mountain is the longest in the world — the views are breathtaking. The included lunches were simple but tasty. Bring good walking shoes and a rain jacket. A well-organized and memorable trip.

This tour is perfect for travelers short on time. In 4 days, we saw all the key sites without feeling too rushed. The private car was comfortable, and our guide spoke good English. The hotel (Pullman) was excellent. The only minor issue was that the glass bridge at the Grand Canyon is an extra fee, but it was worth it. Highly recommend for first-timers.

This tour offers incredible value for a private experience. The entrance fees, lunches, and comfortable hotel were all included. The cable car up Tianmen Mountain is a must — walking the 999 steps to the cave is a challenge, but the feeling of accomplishment is worth it. The only small complaint is that day 3 was a bit light on activities. Still, an excellent and hassle-free tour.
