Day 1: Arrival & Tianmen Mountain, the Mountain with Heaven’s Gate
We arrived in Zhangjiajie early in the morning and headed straight for Tianmen Mountain. The world’s longest mountain cable car carried us from the city up to the mountaintop. We walked along the cliff-hanging plank road and the famous glass walkway. Standing on transparent glass, we looked down at the deep valley below. Later we visited the huge natural Tianmen Cave. In the evening we checked into our hotel in Wulingyuan and tried local Tujia food.
Day 2: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park – Yuanjiajie & Yangjiajie
Today we explored the core of the national park. We took the Bailong Elevator, the tallest outdoor elevator on earth. When we stepped out, we saw countless sandstone pillars rising from the forest, just like the floating mountains in Avatar. We wandered around Yuanjiajie, saw the First Bridge under Heaven, then hiked to Yangjiajie to view the winding Great Wall of nature. The mountain wind blew through the peaks, and the view was absolutely breathtaking.
Day 3: Golden Whip Stream & Ten-Mile Gallery
Our final day was slow and relaxing. We hiked Golden Whip Stream, a peaceful trail beside clear water. Tall peaks stand on both sides of the stream, birds singing all around. After lunch, we visited Ten-Mile Gallery. We took the little sightseeing train and enjoyed the rock formations that look like human figures and animals. Before leaving, we wandered around Xibu Old Street and picked up small local souvenirs.
