Immerse yourself in the magical landscapes of Zhangjiajie for three unforgettable days. From the majestic peaks jutting out of the sprawling seas of mist to the ethereal Karst caves, we've got it all and more in this spellbinding itinerary.

Day 1 - Embrace the Majesty of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

Let's hit the ground running, shall we? Right after a hearty Chinese breakfast, you'll embark for the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, home to soaring quartz-sandstone pillars that'll make you feel like you've stepped right into a charming Chinese painting. Where else to kick off your adventure than with its star attraction - the Avatar Hallelujah Mountain? Believed to have inspired the 3D sci-fi blockbuster, you will enjoy panoramic views from the top like you've never experienced before. A heart-thumping cable car journey will take you back down to Wulingyuan, offering awe-inspiring views of the jungle-clad peaks bathed in sunlight. Cap off your day with a peaceful stroll around the tranquil Blue River, basking in the serene ambiance, as the sun sets painting the sky with hues of red and orange.

Day 2 - Discover the wonders of Tianmen Mountain

Feeling the adrenaline already? Well, hold on tight because we're upping the ante today! Brace yourself for an adventure at the monumental Tianmen Mountain. It's going to be a day of thrilling cable car rides, dizzying glass pathways, and heart-stopping cliff-hanging walkways. This is nature like you've never seen before. The highlight? Accelerate your heartbeat with a fearless walk on the lofty, 60-meter Glass Skywalk. Afraid of heights? Don't worry. Imagine being a bird soaring above jade-green valleys and enjoy the breathtaking views. Round up your day with a visit to the 999 steps leading to the iconic arch or 'Heaven’s Door', if the adrenaline isn’t worn out yet. You've earned a delicious bowl of local hot pot tonight, my friend, for braving the heights of Zhangjiajie!

Day 3 - A Subterranean Adventure in Yellow Dragon Cave

Enough with sky high peaks, let's go underground today! Your morning will start with the incredible Yellow Dragon Cave, also known as the 'wonder of the world's caves'. Bizarre stalactites and stalagmites, astonishing underground rivers, secret chambers... Who knew the earth’s belly could be this captivating? Of course, our subterranean adventure would not be complete without a quaint boat ride along the Underground River. After our 'deeper' exploration, let's end the tour on a lighter note at the Baofeng Lake. It’s a serene paradise amidst the mountains crowned with a pleasant boat ride accompanied by locals singing traditional songs. Can you think of a better way to bid farewell to this unforgettable trip?
