🧭 Itinerary
D1
Visit Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain and Tianmen Cave
Morning:
Take a bus to the lower station of the Tianmen Mountain Cableway and visit Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park (the ¥258 ticket and cableway ticket are included). 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, and embodies majesty, wonder, beauty, steepness, and tranquility. It is hailed as an "aerial primeval garden." We will take the Tianmen Mountain Cableway to visit Tianmen Mountain: see Tianmen Cave, the 99-Bend Highway Wonder (Tongtian Avenue), Li Na's Villa, Guigu Plank Road, Guigu Military Formation, Yunmeng Fairy Summit, Tianmen Mountain Temple, Lingquan Temple, Wood and Stone Love, and other famous attractions.
Tianmen Cableway: The cableway has an inclined length of 7,455 meters and a vertical height difference of 1,279 meters between the upper and lower stations. It is the world's longest single-line circulating detachable gondola cableway, like a rainbow flying between the "human world" and "heaven," and like a giant dragon soaring in the sky. Built against the mountain and cliffs, it rises straight into the sky, stirring the heart and magnificent, becoming one of the "Four Wonders" of Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area.
Tongtian Avenue: Known as Tongtian Avenue, this winding mountain road has a total of 99 bends, like a jade belt winding around, bend after bend, layer upon layer, clinging to the mountain and cliffs, soaring straight into the clouds. The "Number One Highway Wonder in the World" was born, and from the cableway, the road looks like a dense spider web, with a vertical height difference of about one kilometer.
Tianmen Cave Opening: Climb 999 steps to Tianmen Cave and pray for blessings. It is 131.5 meters high and more than 50 meters wide, opening north-south on a thousand-fathom white cliff. It is majestic and towering, a rare high-altitude karst cave through the mountain, and a world-class wonder showcasing the magic of nature. The 2006 Russian Air Force aerobatic performance at Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain increased the mystery of Tianmen Cave and once again made it a global focus.
Guigu Plank Road: Beneath your feet is an endless green wilderness, flocks of birds play in the canyon, and occasionally an eagle glides past your eyes. Close your eyes, stretch your numb legs, with a racing heartbeat, open your arms, and you can get a most perfect, exciting, and nature-close SPA. Because you should know that enjoying scenery on a cliff is generally not something ordinary humans can experience.

Hotel Description: We have arranged hotels that meet the standards for tourists, but because tourism in Zhangjiajie is still in the early stage of development, it still cannot be compared with hotels of the same level in major cities. At the same time, Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan is located near the core scenic area. Due to environmental protection requirements of the scenic area, hotels below three-star level in Zhangjiajie have strict controls on electricity and water use in summer (hot water and air conditioning are limited to certain times). If extension is needed, the additional cost is self-paid. At the same time, please keep your luggage and belongings properly, carry valuables with you or deposit them at the front desk, and lock doors and windows in time when leaving the room. If anything is lost, our agency will only assist in reporting and pursuing the matter, but will not compensate for losses; 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;
Vehicle Description: Zhangjiajie has few tourist vehicles and many people. During peak season, vehicle sharing may occur. Zhangjiajie tourist fleets and environmental protection fleets uniformly allocate vehicles, and multiple transfers are required inside and outside the scenic area; (after getting off, be sure to bring all your belongings and keep them safe. Please forgive any inconvenience)
