Overview
★ Let's go rafting. Mengdong River is rated as the "No.1 Rafting under Heaven", thrilling, exciting, refreshing, and exhilarating, with laughter all along the way...... ★ This is the most essential route for summer travel in Zhangjiajie, enjoying mountains, waters, and local customs! ★ With valid discount certificates, we will definitely give you the maximum discount! No.1 Rafting under Heaven: Mengdong River Rafting starts from a place called Hanigong more than ten kilometers from Wangcun Ancient Town. The pressing green, chirping birdsong, ethereal water sounds, and wild valley wind rush toward you, soaking every inch of your skin. Sunlight slips down through ancient vines covered with halberd-shaped leaves, suddenly struck by protruding cliff stones, twisting and filtering through lush branches and leaves, jumping like ancient coins on the river that is so green it is somewhat blue, shining with an ancient luster. Beaches, pebbles, mugwort, cattails, fishing songs, and wild flowing water all remind you in the simplest and most direct way: get on the rubber boat, drift toward mystery, drift toward places your thoughts have not yet reached.
🧭 Itinerary
D1
Day 1: Meet the group in Changsha, day tour to Tianmen Mountain
Morning: The guide meets the group in Changsha, then travels about 4 hours to Zhangjiajie via the Changsha-Zhangjiajie Expressway.
Afternoon: Arrive in Zhangjiajie city, then drive to the lower station of the Tianmen Mountain cableway and visit Tianmen Mountain National 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, and embodies majesty, wonder, beauty, steepness, and tranquility. It 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 Immortal Summit, Tianmen Mountain Temple, Lingquan Courtyard, Wood-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 circulating detachable grip cabin-type cableway, like a rainbow spanning "the human world" and "heaven," and like a giant dragon soaring through the clouds, rising straight into the sky, magnificent and spectacular. It is one of the "Four Wonders" of Tianmen Mountain.
Tongtian Avenue: Known as Tongtian Avenue, this winding mountain road has 99 bends in total, 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 "World's No. 1 Road Wonder" has emerged. Viewed from the cableway, the road looks like a dense spider web, with a vertical drop 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 that fully displays the magic of nature. In 2006, the Russian Air Force's aerobatic performance at Tianmen Mountain heightened the mystery of Tianmen Cave and once again made it a global focus.
Guigu Plank Road: Beneath your feet is an endless green wilderness, with flocks of small birds playing in the canyon and occasionally an eagle gliding past your eyes. Close your eyes, stretch your numb legs, with a racing heartbeat, open your arms, and you can enjoy the 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.
Accommodation: Zhangjiajie city
D2
World's No. 1 Rafting -- Mengdong River Rafting Day Tour
Morning: Drive to the Mengdong River and join the World's No. 1 Rafting -- Mengdong River Rafting. We start from "Hani Palace" and go downstream. In a small boat, emerging from the waves and valleys, we pass "Triangle Rock," "Chicken Coop Gate," "Nietu Waterfall," "Yama Beach," "Luoshui Pit Waterfall," "Mengsi Gorge," and dozens of scenic spots appearing one after another, too beautiful to take in all at once. Here you can sing loudly, brave the waves and rapids, or play in the water and frolic, rediscovering the self you had long lost. Mengdong River Rafting is rated as one of only two four-star rafting routes in the country.
[Furong Town], originally called [Wang Village], is famous at home and abroad because Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen filmed the movie "Furong Town" here. Furong Town is a typical image of a small border town in Xiangxi, with bluestone slabs and stilted houses, fully embodying the characteristics of Tujia dwellings in Xiangxi.
Afternoon: Drive back to Zhangjiajie city.
