- BaiLong Elevator - The world’s tallest outdoor elevator (326m) that transports visitors to the mountain top in just 1 minute and 28 seconds.
- Yuanjiajie - Yuanjiajie, the primary backdrop for the movie Avatar, features hundreds of the original “Floating Avatar Mountains,” with the most notable being “Hallelujah Mountain.” The scenery here is otherworldly, making it the most famous area in the park. The pillars in this area are larger than those found elsewhere.
- Golden Whip Brook - Considered one of the most beautiful streams in China, Golden Whip Stream stretches 6 km with a well-paved walkway at the valley’s bottom, taking about 2 hours to walk from end to end. Here, you can see the base of the Avatar Mountain scenery, offering a different perspective from the top. The walkway is flanked by uniquely shaped sandstone peaks and a charming stream, accompanied by numerous local legends and stories. If you’re lucky, you might even spot wild monkeys, adding to the natural charm.
- Tianzi Mountain - “Tianzi” means “Heavenly Prince,” named after a local leader who fought against the government army during the Ming Dynasty 500 years ago. This area is an ancient battlefield, rich with historical stories and legends. Visually, the Tianzi mountain top offers the most spectacular view of the sandstone peak forest in the park, characterized by its sharp and slender shapes. It’s one of the highlights of the Zhangjiajie Scenic Area.

Great experience - We had an amazing day with Eric! He managed to show us all the highlights of the park in just one day. We knows the way very well - we would have gotten lost 20 times without him. He is very friendly and took many amazing pictures of us. Thank you Eric

Best Tour Avatar Mountain - Enjoyed the private tour so much. Amanda, the guide is so sweet, nice, experienced, and resourceful. She knows all the best spots and some hidden spots that most people might missed. She speaks English very fluent making it easier to understand the whole thing. She explained the routes, some history and culture, top facts. She is very efficient in time management, ensure all places are covered within the time slot. She also very kind, always offer to take pictures and she did it really well too, instagram-worthy pic.
It’s the best decision to take this private tour. Will definitely contact her when visiting Zhangjiajie in the future!

Great tour around ZhangJiaJie - I booked a tour to see the Avatar Mountains and Tianmen mountain with Sunny. She was really friendly and made our journey much easier as we did not speak Chinese. She took us to the top scenic areas where we took a lot of photos. I enjoyed my time on the tour and the views were breathtaking. Sunny has sound English and helped us translate when buying things in shops and restuarants. She is very knowledgeable of the history and culture in ZhangJiaJie and taught us a lot about the place. I highly recommend Sunny and this tour as it was a wonderful experience!

Most Beautiful Scenery. - This is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen! I don’t think pictures can depict the true beauty, it’s a must see and experience for yourself. The highlight of my trip was with tour guide Eric. He helped to plan our itinerary, shared a lot of history about the place, he’s very hilarious and a very down to earth person. He definitely enhanced our experience. Highly recommend.

Amazing Zhangjiajie - I explored 3 days Zhangjiajie with Eric. Zhangjiajie is extremely beautiful. My personal favourite is the Golden Whip Stream. Eric took me there. It is such a good place for taking photos. Eric is very experienced and arranged the trip perfectly. I'm glad I've contacted him. He took me to many hidden spots in the park. Wulingyuan is a huge park and can be quite tricky to move around. It is recommended to get a local guide like Eric to show you around and to ensure you not wasting time looking for the right bus and direction.

Fantastic Experience! - Our guide Eric was amazing and very helpful. The park itself is stunning, and although we saw about half of what there is to see in Zhangjiajie, it was a memorable and thrilling day. The cloud and mist in the morning hike through the canyon and then the awesome views from the top of the plateau made for a good variety of scenery and more opportunities for photography than your typical tour.

Professional guide in Zhangjiajie - As the Zhangjiajie national park seemed to be quite complicated to visit by ourselves we hired Erics service for a 2 day guided tour of the park. And it was definitely such a relief having a professional guide. We did not have to worry about anything. With his help we visited all the major sites much faster. There are many separated tickets to purchase in the park and with his assistance we did not have to search, wait and stress to get on the right bus or get the right tickets. I definitely recommend Eric and his team as it made our visit to much more relaxing and fun.

Rusa - Hey, me and my friends stayed 5 days in the hostel and I really can recommend this lovely hostel. The rooms were very clean and it was offered exactly what was promised in the pictures and in descriptions. The service was very good and Elvira helped us to get the entrance tickets, bus tickets etc.
She knows everything you need to know about the national park and all the other nice places you need to see. Thank you very much that we could stay in the beautiful hostel And also for all the other help. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
