Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Wulingyuan District, Zhangjiajie 427000 China

At 9am, 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.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Tianzi Mountain, Wulingyuan District, Zhangjiajie 427400 China

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.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Yuanjiajie, 9G3P+9HJ, Wulingyuan District, Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China, 427499

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.

Your trip will come to an end around 5pm and you will be dropped back to your hotel in Zhangjiajie city center. Transfer to the train station for your departure train is also workable.

As a female solo traveller it was reassuring for the pick up and drop off, to and from my hotel offer. I think Anna (my English speaking tour guide) was both very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. She knew the mountains major hot spots, some of which were less congested and away from other competitions tours. Time well spent. Highly recommend.

First of all we were at the park at May holiday. It was bad weather - cliuds and rain and huge amount of people. We spend so much time in the queues It was our mistake to take tour with so many points of interests. From my point of view it is easy to take only half of this point and have time to take walk at the sky with out rush. Our guide was Linda. Very pollite and friendly. She did her best to give us possibility to see the best places and enjoy the walk. Thank you her very much.

Nice park, with nice view from the bottom. But we was not lucky with the weather and absolute no view from the top. The guide was very nice and service minded but we paid a very expence rate for english speaking guide. But his English was very poor and very difficult to understand. Further this is a full day trip, but lunch is not included. It is several lunch possibilities, but all extremely noisy and the qulity of the food we had was poor. All in all i recomended to stay away from this trip. It is far to expensive, you do not get the value for money.

This was an amazing tour. Everything was so well organized and Wendy was an incredible tour guide. She took me to so many “hidden” spots that had amazing viewpoints and with no tourists! Her command of English was also excellent and she was very pleasant and friendly.

We spent the day with Carrie and had an amazing time here. Carrie was super helpful right from the start. She was a wealth of knowledge. We had a private tour for just our group. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the highlights in a day. Well worth it!

Our tour guide, Candy made our Zhangjianjie national park experience amazing and indescribable. She and Mr. Wu (our driver) were very kind, knowledgeable and accomodating with some out of the way requests. Her English is very good and she was careful to not over exert my wife with the steps. Another good thing was that she always got us to the front of the lines.The tour company in general showed integrity and professionalism. We're very pleased, happy and satisfied with their services.

Ann was the guide of us for eight full days at Zhang Jie Jie, the Glass Bridge and Mount Tainmen. She also accompanied us in Fenghuang Ancient City (Phoenix City). From the moment we met her, she captivated us with her vitality, her energy, her excellent and clear English, her grace and seance of humor. We were four adults with some health problems. She was attentive to our problems, showed flexibility in adapting the route to our ability without detracting from the experience of the trip. She accompanied us from the moment we woke up in the morning until the evening, taking care of all our needs, food, clothing, shopping and solving communication problems. She was professional, loyal, and graceful. She even has a clear and pleasant voice and she sang us songs. I recommend on her with all my heart.
