How our pricing works. We do not publish fixed prices, because a fixed price would either overcharge a couple or underdeliver for a group of nine. Every itinerary is quoted individually against your dates, hotel standard and group size, with everything itemised in writing. Send us your travel window and we will come back within 24 hours with a full quotation and no obligation.
Day by day

The full itinerary

Tap any day to open it. Every day is adjustable — this is a starting point, not a fixed schedule.

D1Arrive ZhangjiajieTransfer
Airport or rail station pickup, a quiet evening in the city and an early night before the park. We brief you on the two days ahead over dinner.
D2Zhangjiajie National Forest Park≈ 60 km
Yuanjiajie and the Avatar Hallelujah Mountain, reached by park shuttle and the Bailong glass elevator built into a cliff face. Afternoon on Golden Whip Stream, a flat shaded walk on the valley floor beneath the pillars.
D3Tianmen Mountain≈ 40 km
The 7.5 km cableway, the cliff-hugging plank walk, the glass skywalk and the 999 steps to Heaven's Gate, a natural arch punched through the mountain. Half the day is above the cloud line.
D4Grand Canyon glass bridge, then Fenghuang≈ 250 km
The 430 m glass-bottomed bridge across a 300 m canyon — timed entry reserved in advance. Then the drive to Fenghuang for stilt houses, the Tuojiang River and the old town after dark.
D5Fenghuang old town and departureTransfer
A morning among the stone lanes, covered bridge and riverside houses, then your transfer onward. We can connect to Guilin by short flight or to Changsha by rail.
Who it suits

Is this the right route for you?

Fit travellers and photographers who do not mind steps and heights. Daily walking is 8,000–12,000 steps with cable cars and glass walkways involved. Not ideal for very young children or anyone uneasy with heights.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is it suitable for children or older travellers?
Partly. Golden Whip Stream and Baofeng Lake are flat and easy, and cable cars remove most of the climbing. But Tianmen Mountain and the glass bridge involve real heights and long stair sections. Tell us the ages and fitness in your group and we will build a gentler version — many families do three easy days rather than four hard ones.
Is the glass bridge always open?
No. It closes in high wind and heavy rain. We build a spare half day into the itinerary wherever the forecast looks marginal, and we always have an alternative ready.
How do we get to Zhangjiajie?
Direct flights from Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu, or high-speed rail to Changsha with a two-hour transfer, or rail to Zhangjiajie West. We book whichever suits you and meet you on arrival.
What does it cost?
Every itinerary is quoted individually based on dates, hotel standard and group size. Send us your travel window and party details for a written quote within 24 hours.
