Day 1: Meet the group in Changsha, Tianmen Mountain day tour
Morning: The guide meets the group in Changsha, then travels via the Changsha-Zhangjiajie Expressway for about 4 hours to Zhangjiajie.
Afternoon: Arrive in Zhangjiajie city, then drive to the lower station of the Tianmen Mountain cableway to visit Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park. Tianmen Mountain has a profound cultural heritage and is known as the "Soul of Wuling" and the "First Sacred Mountain of Xiangxi." It combines peaks, rocks, springs, streams, clouds, and forests, embodying majesty, wonder, beauty, steepness, and tranquility, and is praised as an aerial primeval garden. We will take the Tianmen Mountain cableway to visit Tianmen Mountain: see Tianmen Cave, the 99-bend road wonder (Tongtian Avenue), Li Na Villa, Guigu Plank Road, Guigu Military Formation, Yunmeng Fairy Summit, Tianmen Mountain Temple, Lingquan Courtyard, Wood and Stone Love, and other famous attractions.
Tianmen Cableway: The cableway has an inclined length of 7,455 meters, with a vertical height difference of 1,279 meters between the upper and lower stations. It is the world's longest circulating detachable grip cabin-type cableway, like a rainbow flying between "the human world" and "heaven," and like a giant dragon soaring in the clouds, rising straight up to the sky, magnificent and spectacular, becoming one of the "Four Wonders" of Tianmen Mountain.
Tongtian Avenue: Known as Tongtian Avenue, this winding mountain road has a total of 99 bends, like a jade belt winding around, with each bend closely connected, rising layer upon layer, clinging to the mountain and cliffs, soaring straight into the clouds. The "Number One Road Wonder in the World" was born, and viewed from the cableway, the road is as dense as a spider web, with a vertical height difference of about one thousand meters.
Tianmen Cave: 131.5 meters high and more than 50 meters wide, opening north-south on a sheer cliff thousands of feet high. It is majestic and towering, a rare high-altitude karst cave through the mountain, and a world-class wonder displaying the magic of nature. In 2006, the Russian Air Force's aerobatic performance at Tianmen Mountain heightened the mystery of Tianmen Cave, once again making it a global focus.
Guigu Plank Road: Beneath your feet is an endless green wilderness, flocks of small birds play in the canyon, and occasionally an eagle glides past your eyes. Close your eyes, with numb legs and a racing heartbeat, spread your arms, and you can get a most perfect, exciting, and nature-close SPA. After all, enjoying scenery on a cliff is generally not something ordinary humans can experience.
Tianmen Mountain Temple: Tianmen Mountain Temple is a new legend of Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie. On June 8, 2009, a Buddha relic was enshrined in Tianmen Temple. This Sakyamuni Buddha relic is not only the first in Hunan Province but also one of only five currently in China. The temple buildings are elegant and quiet, ingenious and grand, with a wide field of vision. Looking southeast, all the mountains appear small, truly possessing the spirit of one mountain standing supreme. It is the Buddhist center of Xiangxi.
Then take the cableway down the mountain and return to Zhangjiajie city.
