Fantastic 5.0
The hotel's location is very convenient, only a 5-min walk from the Forest Park East Gate. Many restaurants across the hotel and there's a supermarket right across. The room was well cleaned each time and they even gave us welcome fruits and a goodbye snack. staff is very friendly and communicates well.

Beautiful view and scenery! Be sure to wear comfortable shoes because you will be walking a lot, and there are many stairs! Bailong elevator was impressive; glass bridge was solid and safe; zip line was fun!

This trip to Zhangjiajie booked through your agency completely exceeded my expectations—a full five-star review is a must! Our guide, Guide Wang, was the highlight of the trip. He was not just a guide but more like a knowledgeable and passionate friend. He was incredibly well-versed in Zhangjiajie’s geological history and cultural stories, offering vivid and engaging explanations that brought the stunning peaks and rocks to life. His attentiveness was evident everywhere: he remembered each of our needs, reminded us to adjust our clothing, always found the best viewpoints and photo spots, and even recommended authentic local eateries. His professionalism and sincerity made the entire journey warm and worry-free. The itinerary was also perfectly planned. All the classic attractions were covered, but thanks to clever routing and VIP access, we avoided the peak crowds entirely. The pace was well-balanced—neither too rushed nor too slow.
