Zhangjiajie Avatar Mountain & Furong Town 1-Day Private Tour｜China

Begin your unforgettable day with hassle-free hotel pickup in central Zhangjiajie. Venture into Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its otherworldly quartz-sandstone pillar landscape that inspired the blockbuster movie Avatar.

Start your mountain adventure with the iconic Bailong Elevator (Hundred Dragons Elevator), a Guinness World Record-certified tallest outdoor glass elevator in the world. Standing 326 meters tall and built against the sheer cliff, this incredible engineering masterpiece glides visitors to the mountaintop in just over a minute. Enjoy panoramic bird’s-eye views of towering stone pillars and deep mountain valleys as you ascend above the clouds.

Step off the elevator to explore Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, the core highlight of the forest park. Wander along cliffside walkways to witness the legendary Southern Sky Column (Avatar Hallelujah Mountain), the real prototype of Pandora’s floating peaks. Stroll across the natural No.1 Bridge Under Heaven, admire layered misty mountain vistas, and capture photos of the unique karst pillar clusters that make Zhangjiajie world-renowned.

Continue your sightseeing to Tianzi Mountain, honored as the “Kingdom of Peaks”. Boasting dense, spectacular stone pinnacles, vast forest landscapes and stunning sea-of-cloud views, this scenic area features grand and majestic mountain scenery different from Yuanjiajie’s delicate fairyland style. You will take the Tianzi Mountain Cableway down the mountain, enjoying a smooth and comfortable cable ride with sweeping views of the endless pillar forest and rolling mountain ranges beneath your feet.
Savor a delicious authentic local lunch at a mountain restaurant amid the natural scenery before wrapping up the forest park exploration.

Around 4:00 PM, we will drive you toFurong Ancient Town, with a comfortable 1-hour ride. Nestled by cascading waterfalls, this ancient Tujia minority town features well-preserved stilted wooden houses and ancient stone streets. Upon arrival, you have free time to taste genuine Hunan and Tujia local delicacies for dinner.

As night falls, Furong Town transforms into a dreamlike fairyland. The 60-meter-high grand waterfall is illuminated by colorful dynamic lights, creating a shimmering, gorgeous water curtain light show. Wander the lantern-lit ancient alleys and 2000-year-old Wuli Stone Street, browse local handicrafts, and photograph the town’s breathtaking night scenery with the illuminated waterfall as the centerpiece.

At around 8:30 PM, finish your wonderful journey and take the return transfer back to Zhangjiajie, with safe drop-off at your hotel.
