- Zhangjiajie National Forest Park - Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is a renowned tourist destination in Hunan province, officially designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1992. The park’s iconic pillar-like formations are the result of extensive erosion over many years. With over 90% forest coverage, the scenic area includes Yuanjiajie, Yangjiajie, Jinbian Stream, and Wulongzhai. Nearby villages and towns, inhabited by Tujia, Bai, Miao, and Hui people, offer a glimpse into minority cultures and folklore, making for worthwhile side trips.
- BaiLong Elevator - The Bailong Elevator is the tallest and fastest sightseeing elevator in the world, offering breathtaking views of the sandstone peak forest. Standing at 335 meters, it can transport 3,000 people per hour in its three transparent elevators, taking just 1.5 minutes to reach the top of the mountain.
- Yuanjiajie - Yuanjiajie, the most popular attraction within the park, is famously known as “AVATAR Mountain” because it served as the filming location for the movie AVATAR. During the thrilling hike, be prepared to marvel at the South Sky Pillar, which stands around 150 meters high and inspired the Avatar Hallelujah Mountain. The Enchanting Platform offers the best views, with numerous stunning stone peaks resembling bamboo shoots sprouting from the ground.
- Tianzi Mountain - Tianzi Mountain is celebrated for its four natural wonders: the misty clouds that encircle its peaks, the stunning sunrises, the moonlit nights, and the snow-covered winter peaks. The area features more than 80 natural platforms for taking in the breathtaking scenery. A cable car ride to Tianzi Mountain provides an opportunity to enjoy the views and relax.

Very well organized... - Very well organized experience. Coco, our guide, helped us to organize the entire day accommodating all our requests even outside the tour description. She explained many aspects of all the attractions in a perfect English which is not very common in China. Highly recommended. She has been very kind and she even helped us with the check in of our flight back.

Fun Zhangjaijie National Forest/ Avatar Tour - We had a great friendly tour guide named Arianna. She was spunky and friendly and was very accommodating when we had to change tour plans for health reasons. Would highly recommend both the tour and guide Arianna.

Unforgettable Day in ZJJ with an Amazing Guide! - I recently booked a one-day tour of Zhangjiajie National Park, but since I had only one day in ZJJ, I wanted to include Tianmen Mountain and the cave as well. Andy promptly responded to my request and customised the tour to fit my needs perfectly. I was conveniently picked up and dropped off at my hotel, which made the experience seamless.
My guide, Winnie, was absolutely fantastic! Her energy and enthusiasm were infectious, and she truly understood my desire to make the most of our day. She provided just the right amount of information about each site without overwhelming me. I highly recommend the VIP express pass for Tianmen Mountain—it was definitely worth the extra 100 Yuan, as the standard line was about three hours long!
We enjoyed a delicious local lunch in the mountains, and Winnie was generous enough to share snacks and water that she had brought along. Her English was excellent, and we shared many laughs throughout the day, making the experience all the more enjoyable.
Thanks to Winnie, my visit to Zhangjiajie was incredibly special. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour group for anyone looking to explore the area. You won’t be disappointed!

Great Day! - We had the absolute pleasure of having Andy as our tour guide through Avatar Mountain (Zhangjiajie), and I can't recommend him enough! From start to finish, Andy was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to every detail of our trip. He made sure we were comfortable, well-informed, and got the best views and experiences throughout the entire journey.
Andy went above and beyond—helping with photos, sharing the history and fun facts about the area, and even making sure we avoided the crowds where possible. You can tell he genuinely cares about making your experience special. His energy, organization, and passion for what he does made our visit to Avatar Mountain unforgettable.
If you're planning a trip to Zhangjiajie, ask for Andy. You won’t regret it!
