2-Day Forest Park Tour

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park 2-Day Tour – Product Description

Opening Recommendation

We highly recommend that visitors to China spend at least two days in Zhangjiajie. Among the 2-day tour options we offer, both the Forest Park 2-Day Tour and the 3-Day/2-Night Tour (which includes two nights' accommodation) are very popular. Today, I'd like to focus on introducing our Zhangjiajie National Forest Park 2-Day Tour.

Why Spend Two Days?

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is China's first national forest park and the world's only quartz sandstone peak forest landscape – geologically known as the "Zhangjiajie Landform." The breathtaking pillars and peaks here are truly unique, and they deserve at least two full days of exploration. What's more, the park ticket itself is valid for 4 days, but our 2-day itinerary covers all the must-see sights – it's just the right amount of time to experience the highlights without feeling rushed or missing out.

Itinerary

📍 Day 1: East Gate → Bailong Elevator → Yuanjiajie → Kongzhong Tianyuan (Sky Garden) → Tianzi Mountain (Peak Summit Route)

• Enter through the East Gate and take the Bailong Elevator up the cliff – this glass elevator built into the rock face is an experience in itself.

• Arrive at Yuanjiajie, the inspiration for the floating mountains in the movie Avatar. Highlights like Mihun Terrace and the First Bridge Under Heaven will leave you in awe.

• Next, visit Kongzhong Tianyuan (Sky Garden) – a truly special man‑made attraction. In the past, local residents, faced with the region's "70% mountains, 20% water, and only 10% arable land," had very little farmland. So they spent over a decade carving terraced fields into the mountaintop by hand, step by step. Now managed by the park, this site is not fully open to all visitors, making it a hidden gem. From here you can enjoy stunning panoramic views of both the Bailong Elevator and the Yuanjiajie peaks – a perfect photo spot.

• Finally, head to Tianzi Mountain, where you'll look down over a vast "ocean of peaks" – an incredibly expansive view.

Day 1 is focused on the mountain summits, with a relaxed pace so you can take in the scenery without rushing.

📍 Day 2: Ten Miles Gallery → Water-Surrounded Four Gates → Golden Whip Stream → Huangshi Village

• In the morning, explore the Ten Miles Gallery – you can take the sightseeing train or walk through the valley flanked by spectacular peaks. It's like stepping into a traditional Chinese painting.

• Then continue to Water‑Surrounded Four Gates, where the Golden Whip Stream meets several other waterways – a peaceful and scenic spot.

• Walk along the Golden Whip Stream, enjoying the soothing sound of flowing water and the lush canyon scenery.

• Exit via the South Gate of the park and head to Huangshi Village. As the local saying goes: "If you haven't been to Huangshi Village, you haven't really been to Zhangjiajie." This is one of the park's oldest viewing platforms, offering a magnificent panoramic vista – the perfect finale to your two‑day adventure.
