When reach the top of Mt.Tianzi,we will see the famous classic spots and the hidden ones. After lunch or snack, walk down in another path to bottom where locates a beautiful valley called Ten Mile Gallery. It’s a good combination balanced the requirement on off the beaten and classic area.

Tianzi Mountain:(Classic & Popular Spot, 1 hour easy tour on the top after one way cablecar up. if walk up from the foot,will be 3.5 hours on 8000 steep steps,it‘s one of the hardest trek in the park.)
Tianzi means “Heavenly Prince”. actually, he is the real person who leads the local minority to fight with the government army in Ming Dynasty 500 years ago…Mt. Tianzi Area is the very old battle field. Most of the scenic spots there are combined with historical stories and legends of this honorable man. Besides these, Visually, on the Tianzi mountain top, we can experience the most spectacular view of sandstone peak forest in the park featured by its sharp and slim shape. it’s one of the highlights in Zhangjiajie Scenic Area.

This is a short and wide valley which delivers an easy and relaxing walk,(if take mini train 25minutes), On both side of the valley, beautiful peaks with stories are interesting to be enjoyed

Yuanjiajie (Classic Spot 1.5hours )
Yuanjiajie is the main background of the very Movie: Avatar, located with hundreds of original pieces of “Floating Avatar Mountains”.(The major one is called:”Hallelujah Mountain.” the view there is really impressive like outer-space. No wonder, it’s rated as the most famous highlighted area in the park. The pillars here are bigger-sized than other areas. Moreover, there is a World Highest Sightseeing Elevator (326m) to be experienced which saves us a lot of time for sightseeing more. The only problem for Yuanjiajie is it would be crowded in high tourism season. So just need to be aware of it.

Yangjiajie: ( Relatively less tourists than other popular spots. 1.5 hour fun bandit hike) 
Yangjiajie used to be the military base for the local bandits in old times, it’s a pretty wild area for nature-lovers, there is a narrow and fun bandit path leading to the top of Yangjiajie, called Wulong Village, which requires 1.5 hours to go forward&back. there are some spots on the path which are quite narrow, Big-sized guys may not make through. We can view a nature Great Wall formed by the sandstone when reach the top of Yangjiajie at Tianbofu platform, where also is the best spot to enjoy the sunset.(Notice: There are more and more tourists in Yangjiajie for sightseeing due to Yangjiajie Cablecar has been opened.)

Golden Whip Stream: (A classic Spot with A Easy&Flat Walking of 2 hours)
Golden Whip Stream is regarded as the 1 of the most beautiful Streams in China. It’s 6 km long with a well-paved flat walkway at the bottom of valley, which takes us about 2 hours for walking between the 2 ends. it is also where we can see the bottom view of the Avatar Mountain Scenery,very different from the top.On both sides of the walkway, there are hundreds of different-shaped sandstone peaks erecting by a lovely stream,attached with plenty of interesting legends and stories given from locals.the other interesting part is,if lucky, we can see wild monkeys which would bring more fun and make you feel closer to the mother nature.

Tianmen Mountain, appears as the ”New Legend Of Zhangjiajie “. It’s the highest spot (1500m) in Zhangjiajie,where you can walk on super-exciting cliff-path and glass walkway and see the whole city and beautiful countryside with bird’s view. and the landscape there is totally different from, meanwhile, at the same level as the ZJJ national Park. Both are world-class scenery, so it’s a must-visit highlight of this city you should not miss.

• No Shopping,No Hidden Cost.100%Sightseeing Tour With Real Travel Experience

The travel style from Travel Agencies Of China normally is:”Half day of rushy tour, Half day of shopping activities”.Because in order to attract more people to join in their tours. They usually offer low quotation,sometimes, even lower than the real cost, then they turn back to give a heavy pressure on the guide and driver which are little paid or not paid. Then the guide and driver have to steal some portions of your tour time from sightseeing and take you to shops for purchasing stuff to fill the hole of the deficit with the commission,meanwhile get their own income. It’s the common practice for China Tourism. But we decide to take a different way and respect them and their work by paying them a reasonable amount for getting full time travel. It will benefit both.
