Day 1 Zhangjiajie Forest Park: Bailong Elevator, Yuanjiajie, Hallelujah Mountain, Yangjiajie, Tianzi Mountain
In the morning, our guide will pick you up from your own booked hotel at the time previously agreed with you, around 07:00 to 08:00 am, and then embark on a full-day journey to the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. We provide pick-up service from hotels near the East Gate of the park in Wulingyuan District and also in downtown Zhangjiajie. While, for your easy access to the scenic spots and to avoid getting up too early, it is recommended that you book a hotel near the East Gate, where there are quite a few restaurants and hotels, as bustling as the downtown area.
Have you ever watched the fantasy movie Avatar? And do you want to enter that Pandora Planet, Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, as fast as possible? Then follow us for a ride on the Bailong Elevator, the world’s tallest outdoor lift built on the edge of a cliff, which will get you there in mere 88 seconds. In 2013, it was listed among the other creative elevators in the world, and in 2015, it entered the Guinness World Records, becoming the pride of China. The ingenious part is that it is not only an engineering marvel, but also offers an unusual opportunity to “converse” with nature. During the ascending, the strange peaks loom before your eyes, making you feel shuttling through the clouds. As you step out of the carriage, you will be amazed by countless quartz-sandstone pillars that date back hundreds of millions of years ago. Among them, the most famous is the Hallelujah Mountain, formerly known as the Qiankun Pillar, which was the inspiration for the floating mountain in the sci-fi movie Avatar. It is more than 200 meters (656 feet) high, like being well-whittled by axes, towering in this peak forest. What’s more, you will be led to visit No. 1 Natural Bridge under Heaven and Enchanting Platform…
Lunch will be on your own, and you can taste local cuisine at one of pleasant restaurants in Yuanjiajie. If needed, our guide will be pleased to make some recommendations. After that, our guide will accompany you on an eco-friendly shuttle bus to the Yangjiajie Scenic Area, famous for its beautiful streams, lush virgin forests and peak walls. It is said that in the Northern Song Dynasty (960 - 1127), the military Yang family once camped here to surround and suppress Xiang Dakun, a Tujia king, and later lived and multiplied, making this place the Yangjiajie, literally meaning Yang family’s land. With us, you will get a glimpse of the well-known Natural Great Wall. Once it was introduced to the world, it was hailed as a “major new discovery of Zhangjiajie geomorphology”. Dozens of rolling peaks capped with Wuling pines stand parallel and resemble a row of stone walls. Take the eco-bus again, and you will come to Tianzi Mountain. At this time almost reached the sunset, and the towering peaks will reflect the red glow in the misty cloud sea, which is pleasing to your eyes. Be taken to stand on an observation deck of Helong Park at a high altitude, the surrounding stunning views of Imperial Brush Peak and Fairy Dispersing Flowers, which are believed to be the incarnations of Xiang Dakun’s brush and lover, will probably make your jaw drop. Next, top your day off by taking the cable car down the mountain. You will then be taken back to the hotel.
