About this trip
This focused five-day route opens with Canton Tower, Beijing Road, Dafo Temple and a Cantonese welcome dinner in Guangzhou. High-speed rail then leads to Furong Ancient Town for an evening walk beside its broad waterfall, followed by a transfer into Zhangjiajie.
The mountain programme concentrates on three contrasting experiences: Wulingyuan's narrow quartz-sandstone pillars and the 326-metre Bailong Elevator; the 430-metre bridge above Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon and the underground route through Yellow Dragon Cave; and Tianmen Mountain, with its cableway, elevated paths and natural arch known as Heaven's Gate. It is an energetic itinerary for travellers who want a compact introduction to the region before flying onward from Zhangjiajie.

Day 3
Zhangjiajie
Zhangjiajie Pillars and Bailong Elevator
Enter Zhangjiajie National Forest Park to view the quartz-sandstone pillars of the wider UNESCO-listed Wulingyuan landscape. Hunan tourism connects the Yuanjiajie scenery with the visual inspiration for Pandora's floating mountains in Avatar. Follow the park's elevated paths and viewpoints, then ride the 326-metre Bailong Elevator. Guinness World Records lists it as the tallest outdoor elevator, making the rapid ascent part of the day's experience as well as a link to the upper trails.

Day 4
Zhangjiajie
Crossing the Glass Bridge and Exploring Yellow Dragon Cave
Cross the 430-metre glass bridge above Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, with expansive views into the gorge. Continue to Yellow Dragon Cave, also known as Huanglong Cave. The visitor route passes through vast limestone chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites and includes a sightseeing-boat section underground. In a single day, move from an airy crossing between cliffs to the sculpted formations of a hidden subterranean landscape.

Tianmen Mountain and Departure Flight
Ascend Tianmen Mountain by cableway and continue through the high landscape by mountain transport. Walk the elevated paths, step onto a glass walkway when conditions allow, and see Tianmen Cave, the natural arch known as Heaven's Gate. After the visit, transfer to Zhangjiajie Airport.

Frequently asked questions
Can I return to Guangzhou after the tour?
Yes. The team can help arrange a ticket on an evening train from the Zhangjiajie area so you can continue back to Guangzhou after the programme. Share your preferred travel date, onward flight details and luggage needs early, giving the team time to select a practical service and connection.
Can I reduce the admission-ticket cost?
It may be possible to remove a particular attraction and reduce the corresponding ticket amount, but the request must be made before the tour because many admissions are purchased in advance. Mountain-area tickets are usually the largest component. Packages can combine cableways, lifts, funiculars, boats or other activities according to the route and weather, so discuss any changes with the team early.
