Planning your six days in Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang

This route gives separate days to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and Tianmen Mountain before continuing to Fenghuang. They are separate sightseeing areas; do not treat a Tianmen Mountain visit as a substitute for the Avatar-style sandstone scenery in the forest park.

Walking pace and mountain days

Expect walking between viewpoints and some steps even when using park transport. Tell us about mobility needs, children and your preferred walking pace before the itinerary is confirmed. Weather and operating conditions can affect mountain visits, so the final order should leave room for adjustments.

Glass Walkway or Glass Bridge?

The Tianmen Mountain Glass Walkway in this itinerary is different from the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge. If the Grand Canyon bridge is a priority, ask for it explicitly so the extra visit, transport and tickets can be checked in your quotation.

For an overview, see our Zhangjiajie destination guide. If travelling between cities by rail, read the China train booking and station guide before finalising your connections.

From USD 1,399 per person, available for one adult. The starting price applies all year, including Chinese public holidays. A solo adult has a private room for all five nights with no single supplement.

Daily Itinerary, Hotels and Meals

Day 1

Arrival in Zhangjiajie

Hotel: Pullman Zhangjiajie Hotel
Arrival in Zhangjiajie

Arrive in Zhangjiajie, one of China’s most spectacular mountain destinations. Your private guide and driver will meet you at the airport or railway station and transfer you to your hotel.

After check-in, the rest of the day is free for you to relax and prepare for the mountain sightseeing ahead. If you arrive early, you may take a short walk near the hotel or enjoy a simple local dinner.

Travel Tip

No formal sightseeing is arranged today so you can rest after arrival. Keep a light jacket or rain gear ready for the mountain area.

Day 2

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and Yuanjiajie

Hotel: Pullman Zhangjiajie Hotel Meals: Breakfast Lunch
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and Yuanjiajie

Spend the day exploring Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, famous for towering quartz-sandstone pillars, deep valleys, lush forests, and dramatic mountain views.

Visit the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, where you can see some of the most iconic Avatar-style peaks. Depending on park conditions, your guide may also arrange viewpoints such as the Bailong Elevator area, natural stone bridges, or nearby scenic platforms.

The route will be adjusted based on weather, crowd levels, and your walking comfort.

Travel Tip

Mountain weather can change quickly. Some viewpoints may be foggy after rain, but the mist can also create beautiful scenery.

Day 3

Tianzi Mountain and Scenic Viewpoints

Hotel: Pullman Zhangjiajie Hotel Meals: Breakfast Lunch
Tianzi Mountain and Scenic Viewpoints

Continue your Zhangjiajie sightseeing with Tianzi Mountain, another famous area inside the national forest park. The mountain is known for wide views of sandstone peaks rising from the valleys below.

Return to your hotel in the late afternoon.

Travel Tip

Comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended. Park transportation and elevators help reduce walking, but there will still be steps and uneven paths.

Day 4

Tianmen Mountain and Glass Walkway

Hotel: Pullman Zhangjiajie Hotel Meals: Breakfast Lunch
Tianmen Mountain and Glass Walkway

Visit Tianmen Mountain, one of Zhangjiajie’s most famous landmarks. Take the cable car up the mountain and enjoy views of cliffs, valleys, and the winding mountain road below.

Walk along the cliffside paths and, if open, experience the Glass Walkway. Continue to Tianmen Cave, also known as Heaven’s Gate, a natural arch high in the mountain.

After the visit, return to Zhangjiajie city and enjoy your final evening here.

The Glass Walkway and some mountain routes may close temporarily due to weather, maintenance, or safety controls.

In the evening, enjoy Fenghuang’s night views, when lights reflect on the river and the old town takes on a lively yet romantic atmosphere.

Travel Tip

Fenghuang’s old town has stone paths and bridges. Pack light for easier walking inside the historic area.

After the visit, your private driver will transfer you to the airport or railway station for departure.
