D1
Morning pickup, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park: Huangshizhai Scenic Area, Golden Whip Stream Scenic Area, Charm of Xiangxi one-day tour
Morning:
Your guide or driver will meet you at Zhangjiajie Airport or Railway Station with a name board. Departing from Zhangjiajie city center, a 40-minute drive brings us to China's first national forest park -- Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (the ￥248 entrance ticket is included). We will visit the Great Oxygen Bar Square (with 80,000-100,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter of air), then climb to an altitude of 1,200 meters to the renowned Huangshizhai Scenic Area, famous for the saying "You haven't really been to Zhangjiajie unless you've climbed Huangshizhai" (you may choose to take the Huangshizhai cable car up and down at ￥65 per person per ride, not included, or walk instead): a panoramic view of countless peaks and valleys unfolds before you. Walking along the circular trail at the summit, you can enjoy the stunning natural scenery of Huangshizhai, passing sights such as Liuqi Pavilion, Star-Plucking Platform, Two Gates Welcoming Guests, Five-Finger Peak, Golden Turtle in the Sea of Mist, Natural Fresco, Huangshi Pine, Echo Wall, and Nine-Fold Wall.
Afternoon:
Stroll through "China's most beautiful grand canyon" -- Golden Whip Stream: with a total length of 7.5 kilometers, the walk takes about 2.5 hours. Golden Whip Stream is a naturally formed beautiful stream, named after the Golden Whip Rock. The valley is lush with vegetation, and the water is crystal clear in all four seasons, earning it the titles of "Gallery of Landscape" and "Fairyland on Earth." Along the way, you will see famous sights such as Golden Whip Rock, Divine Eagle Guarding the Whip, Cleaving the Mountain to Save the Mother, Drunken Arhat, Wenxing Rock, Purple Grass Pool, Meeting After a Thousand Miles, Water Winding Around Four Gates, Guanyin Presenting a Child, Master and Disciples Seeking Scriptures, Longevity Spring, Candle Peak, Two Turtles Exploring the Stream, and Scholar's Book Collection.
Evening:
In the evening, enjoy the large-scale folk custom performance at the national intangible cultural heritage exhibition base -- [Charm of Xiangxi] (ticket included, show lasts about 2 hours).
Accommodation:

Recommended optional activity:
Huangshizhai cable car one way ￥65 per person
D2
One-day tour of Yuanjiajie Scenic Area (the mountain prototype from the movie "Avatar"), Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area ("King of World Peak Forests"), and Ten-Mile Gallery Scenic Area
Morning:
Enter the scenic area at the Suoxiyu ticket station and take the world's No.1 lift, the Bailong Sightseeing Elevator, up to the mountaintop [Yuanjiajie Scenic Area] (Bailong Elevator ascent ￥72 per person included). Visit the filming location of "Avatar" -- "Mount Hallelujah," also known as "South Heaven Pillar" (also called Qiankun Pillar). Spend 1.5 hours exploring the mysterious and fantastical world of floating mountains and scattered peaks from Avatar; visit the mist-shrouded, majestic Mihun Platform and the No.1 Bridge Under Heaven, among other sky-high wonders.
Afternoon:
Take the eco-bus for 40 minutes to reach Tianzi Mountain Nature Reserve, known as the "King of Peak Forests" (about 1 hour of sightseeing): "Whoever has seen Tianzi's face need not look at other mountains in the world." Tianzi Mountain boasts charming scenery, beautiful views, and numerous attractions. Visit Helong Park, which combines nature and culture, Imperial Brush Peak, Fairy Presenting Flowers, West Sea Stone Forest, and Stone Boat Setting Sail. You can climb to the highest point, Tianzi Pavilion, and gaze at the panoramic view of Tianzi Mountain. Walk downhill for 2 hours to reach the Ten-Mile Gallery Scenic Area, where you can see: the Old Herb Gatherer, one of Zhangjiajie's top ten wonders, Three Sisters Peak, Twilight Love, Golden Rooster Crowing at Dawn, Couple Embracing Child, and Heavenly Dog Gazing at the Moon.

Yellow Dragon Cave Scenic Area, afternoon drop-off
Morning:
After breakfast, visit the Zhangjiajie Flower of Life Exhibition Hall (1 hour, complimentary, no refund if not visited); then visit the Yellow Dragon Cave Scenic Area, known as the "all-around champion of world karst caves" (￥100 ticket included): Yellow Dragon Cave was voted "China's most beautiful tourist cave" in 2005. Inside, lights flicker and stalagmites stand in rows, like ancient trees with twisted roots. There are caves within caves and rivers within caves -- truly a "subterranean magic palace." Famous sights include the Dinghai Divine Needle stalagmite (insured for ￥100 million), Xiangshui River, Dragon King's Gathering Hall, Heavenly Fairy Water, and Tianzhu Street.
Afternoon:
After lunch, drive past the "thousand-year-old battlefield" Baizhang Gorge as we exit the scenic area: the gorge is named for its nearly hundred-zhang-high stone cliffs that pierce the sky, too steep to look up at. Return to Zhangjiajie city. On a clear day, you can also see the majestic Tianmen Mountain and Tianmen Cave, the "soul of Wuling," from the vehicle. Tour ends in Zhangjiajie city center. We hope you enjoyed your wonderful Zhangjiajie journey!
