• Day 5: Marvel at Zhangjiajie's Avatar Mountains

  Kickstart an amazing day in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park by taking a scenic train ride to admire the towering sandstone peaks. From the glass windows of the 326-meter-tall Bailong Elevator that clings to the cliff face, you'll take in the breathtaking vistas of this UNESCO World Heritage Site from a different angle. In Yuanjiajie, the sandstone peaks' grotesque shapes form an other-worldly realm that inspired scenes from the Avatar movie. The views here become more atmospheric on a rainy day, with the mountains shrouded in a light veil of mist.

  Continue your exploration as you proceed to Tianzi Mountain, where more awe-inspiring scenery awaits. A cable car ride downhill then takes you through the forest of stone peaks and creates the perfect end to a day filled with awe and excitement!
