Day 2 Zhangjiajie National Park Part B

Morning: (Elevator Up) Yuanjiajie. Yangjiajie.Afternoon:Tianzi Mountain (Cablecar down), Nightstay in Wulingyuan.

Yuanjiajie (Classic&popular Spot,1 hour walk)

It’s one of the highlighted area in ZJJ National Park chosen to be the main background of the Movie: Avatar. No wonder,it becomes the most popular spot for all people. the peaks here are bigger in size, the view is close, fantastic too. Moreover, there is a World Highest Sightseeing Elevator (326m) which’s regarded as a big controversy existing against UNESCO, but It does bring an much easier way for going up to Yuanjiajie than spending 3.5 hours’ crazy trek on 9000 steps.The only problem for Yuanjiajie is ,in busy season, it would be unavoidably crowded.

Yangjiajie (less tourist,1.5hours fun hike)

Yangjiajie used to be the military base for the local bandit 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 2 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 at Tianbofu, where also is the best spot to enjoy the sunset.
(Note: For Yangjiajie, there are more and more people for sightseeing in recent years, , because Yangjiajie Cablecar opened.)

Tianzi Mountain (Classic Spot,2 hours easy tour)

Tianzi means “Heavenly Prince”. Mt.Tianzi is an area for the hero of Tujia Minority, who commands local to fight with government army in Ming Dynasty. The scenic spots here are combined with stories and legends of this fate-selected prince of Heaven. Visually, the view is different from other parts of park: the peaks are much thinner and sharper, since it’s has the biggest opening platform, we can definitely experience the most spectacular view of sandstone peak forest in this park. and it’s one of the highlights in Zhangjiajie Scenic Area.

Day 3 Avatar Mountain On Waters&Inner Beauty Of Zhangjiajie

Morning: Yellow Dragon Cave.Afternoon:Baofeng Lake, Nightstay in Wulingyuan or Downtown.

Yellow Dragon Cave (Classic&popular spot, 2.5hours inside hike)

I have to tell you this is the 2nd largest Cave in Asia. This inner world tour only involves 2/5 of it, which takes about 3 hours.There are 3 layers and 13 halls we are going to go through. Surprisingly, we will take a boat in the cave at the 1st layer, and for most of the time in 2nd and 3rd , we will hike up and down on stairs to appreciate the gorgeous view of Stalagmite and Stalactite.

Baofeng Lake (Classic spot, 1.5hours with a short hike and boat trip)

This pretty lake lies high on top of sandstone mountain. We would enjoy the view of Avatar Pillars floating on water, and hear the interesting legends about different spots in the lake and the lovely Tujia folk songs from young locals in wooden boats. It’s a very relaxing trip.

Day 4 Happy Ending.

Morning:Tianmen Mountain.Afternoon: Tujia Folk Park. Sandstone Art Gallery

Tianmen Mountain (Popular Spot,4-8hours depends on situation of tourist No.)

Tianmen Mountain, appears as the ”New Legend Of Zhangjiajie “. It’s the highest spot (1500m) in the whole Zhangjiajie area. The landscape there is totally different from, meanwhile, at the same level as the ZJJ national Park. Both are world-class scenery. Unbelievably, this single mountain holds 4 World Guinness Records in its small body. and any of them will be overwhelmingly impressive to the traveler of any type. Just amazing to be the thing we will never experience.
(Notice: Only 1 problem bothers tourists: In busy tourism season, there will be long queues, sometimes, it’s crazily long. It really makes people frustrated, but only when we stand on its top, we would realize it’s worthy.)

Tujia Minority Folk Park (Classic&popular Spot, 1hour visit)

Tujia Minority Folk Park used to be the Palace of Tuijia King. it’s a nice place to know the local Tujia people.The architectures inside are just gorgeous. it’s regarded as the top garden in minority area of China. The main attraction is the world highest stilt wooden house called “Nine Skies”. Really impressive.

Junsheng Sandstone Painting Gallery (Classic Spot,1 hour of local art visit)

It’s a place where our eyes would be dazzled. Through 30min’s tour, we can enjoy a unique type of art called Sandstone painting, which is invented by a very talented and creative local painter:”Li Junsheng”–a respectable man with story and faith of art.
The subject of most paintings are about the landscape and cultures of Zhangjiajie and western Hunan Province. so it can always be a great conclusion or ending for the trip we have experienced. You may see the places you have visited and gone through from this wonderful local art.

Notice Before Tour

If the reality is not promising it, the itinerary can be adjusted by the guide for bettering the travel experience. If it increases the tour cost on extra parts, it would be on your side. But the choice is still yours to follow the original or the revised one.

• The policy of “Maximize the tour value”.

• 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.
