What To Expect
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge
Adventure Option : The world's longest and highest glass bridge is also located in the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Scenic Area. Walking across this breathtaking bridge, suspended 300 meters (984 feet) above the ground, will be the most thrilling and unforgettable experience of your trip!
BaiLong Elevator
It is the world’s tallest outdoor elevator, rising 335 meters (1,099 feet) up a cliff face. Made of a 154-meter (505-foot) shaft inside the mountain and a 172-meter (564-foot) glass lift on the outside, it offers stunning views as you ascend. Listed in the Guinness World Records™, this engineering marvel connects key sites like Yuanjiajie, Golden Whip Stream, and the First Bridge under Heaven—making it easier than ever to explore Zhangjiajie's breathtaking landscapes.
It is located in the northern area of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and is renowned as the filming inspiration for the floating “Hallelujah Mountains” in James Cameron’s Avatar. This magical landscape features towering sandstone pillars, lush vegetation, and dramatic cliffs that seem to rise straight from the earth. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views from various observation decks, including the famous "First Bridge Under Heaven." As one of the park’s most iconic areas, Yuanjiajie offers an unforgettable experience that blends cinematic wonder with natural beauty.
Tianzi Mountain
It is famous for its “Four Natural Wonders” — seas of clouds, stunning sunrises, enchanting moonlit nights, and snow-covered winter peaks. The area features several natural viewing platforms that offer breathtaking panoramas of the majestic peak forest landscape. Visitors can take a scenic cable car ride to the summit, enjoying the dramatic views along the way in a relaxing and comfortable manner.
Tianmen Moutain National Forest Park
Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park
Tianmen Mountain, known as the "Fairy Mountain," is the highest peak in Zhangjiajie and a sacred site in Western Hunan. Ride the cable car to Yunmeng Summit for sweeping views and explore a natural bonsai landscape of stunning stone formations. Challenge yourself on the Glass Skywalk, a thrilling glass path clinging to the cliffs. Drive up the legendary Tongtian Avenue, with 99 bends and nearly 1,000 meters of vertical elevation change—hailed as the “World’s No.1 Road Wonder.” Visit Tianmen Cave, a rare high-altitude natural archway formed through a mountain, and walk the breathtaking Guigu Cliffside Path, suspended halfway up towering cliffs at 1,400 meters above sea level. Tianmen Mountain also hosted wingsuit legend Jeb Corliss’s world-famous flight. Revered as “The Soul of Wuling,” this mountain offers a powerful blend of natural beauty, adventure, and cultural depth.
72 Tujia Stilted Buildings Scenic Area

5.00The guide, Alisa, is absolutely professional! We really appreciate her assistance for arranging airport drop off service!! The overall tour experience is more than great. I guess we were lucky, since she told us that it rained in Zhangjiajie for more than 1 month, it was not the case for us, amazing view!

5.00We had a really good experience travelling here. In the beginning, we wanted to plan the full trip by ourselves, but it turned out to be too complicated. So we found them to help us. The part I really like about them is their service. On-time reply with clear info. Price is acceptable as well. We only have a really short time period, so we chose this two-day trip. We were worried that the time was not enough for us to go through everything we wanted, so we talked to their CS. They gave really reasonable suggestions and were really patient with all of our requests. If you are looking for some professional help, they are the right choice.
Professional and welcoming service!!!

5.00We had an absolutely incredible experience with China Journey Expert during our two-day private guided tour in Zhangjiajie. From the moment they picked us up at the airport, everything was seamless and thoughtfully planned. They even took us to a wonderful local lunch before heading straight to the Grand Canyon, where we experienced the famous glass bridge, zip lining, virtual reality hot air balloons, the glass slide, and an unforgettable hike along the river. Every activity was amazing, but what really stood out was how efficiently everything was organized. Transportation was smooth every day, with pick up in a huge comfortable bus and reliable drop offs back at our hotel, making the entire trip effortless. Our guide, John, was outstanding. He expertly navigated the crowds and helped us avoid long lines, allowing us to fit so much into just two days. Thanks to him, we were able to fully enjoy all the highlights without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The Avatar Mountains were absolutely breathtaking. Truly a once in a lifetime sight. Riding the Bailong elevator to take in that breathtaking view was incredible, and the tram ride down also offered stunning views the entire way. John also made sure we didn’t miss the monkeys, which was a fun highlight, and was incredibly patient and accommodating when our teens wanted to shop for souvenirs. He made the experience feel personal and stress free. I can’t recommend China Journey Expert enough. Honestly, I can’t imagine trying to navigate Zhangjiajie without a guide—this company made the experience unforgettable.
