Day 1: Pick-up, Tianmen Mountain Day Tour, then transfer to Fenghuang Ancient Town in the afternoon
Morning: The guide will meet you in Zhangjiajie, then drive to the lower station of Tianmen Mountain Cableway to visit Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park. Tianmen Mountain has a profound cultural heritage, known as the "Soul of Wuling" and praised as the first sacred mountain of western Hunan. It combines peaks, rocks, springs, streams, clouds, and forests, integrating majesty, wonder, beauty, danger, and tranquility, and is known as an aerial primitive 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, Ghost Valley Plank Road, Ghost Valley Military Formation, Yunmeng Fairy Top, Tianmen Mountain Temple, Lingquan Courtyard, Wood and Stone Love, and other famous attractions.
Tianmen Cableway: The cableway has a斜 length of 7,455 meters, with a horizontal height difference of 1,279 meters between the upper and lower stations. It is the world's longest loop detachable gondola cableway, like a rainbow flying between "earth" and "heaven," like a giant dragon soaring in the sky, towering into the clouds, magnificent and spectacular, becoming one of the "Four Wonders" of Tianmen Mountain.
Tongtian Avenue: Known as Tongtian Avenue, the winding mountain road has a total of 99 bends, like a jade belt winding around, closely connected, layer upon layer, clinging to the mountain and cliffs, soaring into the clouds. The "World's Number One Road Wonder" was born, and from the cableway, the road looks like a dense spider web, with a vertical height difference of about 1,000 meters.
Tianmen Cave: 131.5 meters high and more than 50 meters wide, opening north-south on a thousand-fathom cliff, majestic and towering, it is a rare high-altitude karst cave and a world-class wonder showing the magic of nature. In 2006, the Russian Air Force's aerobatic performance at Tianmen Mountain escalated the mystery of Tianmen Cave, once again making it a global focus.
Ghost Valley Plank Road: Under your feet is an endless green field, flocks of birds playing in the canyon, occasionally an eagle passing by. Close your eyes, with numb legs and a racing heartbeat, open your arms, and you can get the most perfect, exciting, and nature-close SPA. Because you should know that enjoying scenery on a cliff is generally not something humans can enjoy.
Tianmen Mountain Temple: Tianmen Mountain Temple is a new legend of Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain. On June 8, 2009, the Buddha's relic was enshrined in Tianmen Temple. This Sakyamuni Buddha relic is not only the first in Hunan Province but also one of only five in China. The temple architecture is elegant and quiet, ingenious and magnificent, with a wide field of vision. Looking southeast, all mountains are small, truly with the spirit of one mountain dominating. It is the Buddhist center of western Hunan.
Afternoon: Take the cableway down the mountain, return to Zhangjiajie city, then drive to Fenghuang Ancient Town (about 4 hours' drive).
Night tour of Fenghuang: The night view of Fenghuang Ancient Town is enchanting. Stroll through the ancient town and feel its tranquility and peace under the night; release river lanterns by the Tuo River to pray for family and friends; visit the bars of Fenghuang Ancient Town to experience the noisy yet romantic atmosphere; of course, the most unforgettable is walking with friends on the small bluestone streets in Ming and Qing style, feeling the simplicity of Shen Congwen's "Border Town," looking at the rich variety of handicrafts, and tasting the mouth-watering local snacks, which will make you linger...
