Things to do in Zhangjiajie

I booked this one day tour for my parents and myself expecting it to be with a larger group since it said 10 passengers max but it ended up being a private tour for the three of us. our tour guide was a lovely young lady who was patient with my parents going up and down the stairs while hiking up. her youthful personality and genuine care for all of us made us really comfortable around her. She was very insightful in regards to all the information she shared with us about the history of Zhangjiajie National Park and Furong Town. I think without having a tour guide to take you around, it can get hectic with all the paths up the mountain. Since we took a bit longer getting down and eating lunch afterwards, we weren’t able to take the train to the last stop but we had a comfortable car ride there.

Had an amazing two days. this two day tour is worth doing. highly recommend, however, there are hidden costs so be mindful. our guide Doris is such a lovely warm person, very helpful, respectful and on her way to becoming a No.1 tour guide.

We had an amazing experience. The booking process was very easy and straightforward, we communicated directly with tour operator who was very helpful and castomised the experience to our linking. He was very easy to communicate to and very responsive. He helped us find the spots in the park we were looking for and provided useful tips and maps. He really went extra mile to make our experience amazing. We highly recommend it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely Jam-Packed Day in Zhangjiajie! We had an amazing day with our tour guide Wendy! We climbed all 999 steps up to Heaven’s Gate at Tianmen Mountain, then crossed the stunning Zhangjiajie Glass Canyon Bridge — what a thrill! Even with rain, the fun never stopped, and that’s a true credit to Wendy’s energy and enthusiasm. The best part? It rained on us throughout the day, but honestly, it didn’t dampen the fun at all — that’s a testament to how engaging and enthusiastic Wendy was as a guide. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, its history, and its culture, and her English is excellent, making communication effortless for our group. She made what could have been a logistically complicated day feel completely smooth and stress-free. Transportation was smooth and well-organized throughout. We’re already planning to come back in spring! If you’re visiting Zhangjiajie, book with Wendy — 5 stars all the way! 🌟

We had a wonderful experience. Beautiful tour. We really didn't have to worry about anything during our tour. Well organised with hotel pickup and dropoff, transportation, and friendly guide. We would however have liked to get more information and explanation about the places we visited.

there are a few attraction tickets required to purchase that is not part of this package. like taking the escalator and cable car. line A is best to see everything at this mountain but long walk. remember to wear a good pair of shoes

"Unreal Views, but a Logistics and Crowd Nightmare"The Good:The scenery is absolutely mind-blowing. Seeing the floating karst pillars in person looks exactly like Avatar and photos do not do it justice. Walking along the Golden Whip Stream at the valley floor was a peaceful highlight, and the views from Tianzi Mountain are unforgettable.The Bad:The crowd management is exhausting. Even during the shoulder season, we faced massive tour groups, loud megaphones, and pushing in lines. We waited nearly 90 minutes just for a 2-minute ride on the Bailong Elevator.The Reality Check:This is not a relaxing nature hike. It is a highly commercialized, physically demanding theme park for mountains. You will walk thousands of concrete steps.Top Tips:Get to the gates by 7:00 AM or face brutal lines.Download an offline translator app; English signage and English-speaking staff are rare.Do not forget your physical passport, or they will not let you in.

i had little expectations because all i see in the videos are the glass bridge and the zipline but the walking trail is really beautiful. by far my favorite among everything we've seen in china.

had the best wide noodles and pork buns here! the performances are nice and the building is cool even earlier in the day without the lights on.
