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.

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."

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.

Hotel notes: We arrange hotels that meet the standards for our travelers, but because tourism in Zhangjiajie is still in its early stages of development, hotels cannot yet compare with same-level hotels in major cities. In Zhangjiajie and the Xiangxi region, due to development limitations, the hotels we use do not guarantee that the corresponding star rating plaque will be displayed, but room facilities and equipment can meet the same-level standards. Please understand. To protect the environment, all hotels in Hunan Province no longer provide disposable daily necessities. Please bring your own or purchase them at the hotel front desk. At the same time, please take good care of your luggage and belongings. Valuables should be carried with you or deposited at the front desk. When leaving the room, please lock the doors and windows in time. If anything is lost, our agency will only assist in reporting the case and pursuing recovery, but will not compensate for the loss;
Vehicle notes: Zhangjiajie has fewer tourist vehicles and many tourists. In peak season, vehicle sharing may occur. Zhangjiajie tourist fleets and eco-fleets uniformly allocate vehicles, and multiple transfers inside and outside the scenic area may be required; (after getting off, be sure to take all your belongings with you and keep them safe. We apologize for any inconvenience);
