Your private guide will be waiting for you in the airport arrivals hall. A comfortable vehicle (non-smoking) with an experienced driver will be ready to escort your group to explore Shanghai.
Zhujiajiao is a charming water town that offers a glimpse into traditional Chinese water village life. The town’s network of canals, ancient bridges, and well-preserved architecture creates a stunning backdrop.
Your tour guide will lead you to three typical attractions. The first site is Chenghuang Temple, which is dedicated to the city god. Next, walk to the Helong Gallery which showcases a wide range of traditional Chinese artwork. Take a leisurely break at a traditional tea house for fragrant Chinese tea and snacks. Then, visit the Kezhi Garden, a classical Chinese garden that offers a peaceful retreat.
Conclude the day with Tianzi Fang, a vibrant district known for its trendy shops, art galleries, and cafes.
Begin your journey in Shanghai by strolling along the iconic Bund, listening to tales of the city’s colonial past as you admire the historic buildings lining the waterfront. Next, escape the urban bustle at Yuyuan Garden, a serene oasis of traditional Chinese architecture and lush greenery.
For a truly breathtaking experience, ascend to the top of Shanghai Tower, the tallest building in China. Enjoy panoramic views of the city’s sprawling skyline before embarking on your evening flight to Zhangjiajie. Your guide and driver will ensure a smooth transfer to the airport.
The first day in Zhangjiajie is heading to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Wander through a surreal landscape of towering sandstone pillars, their jagged peaks piercing the sky. Hike to the iconic Avatar Hallelujah Mountains. Ascend towering peaks and traverse narrow ridges to witness the majestic beauty of natural formations.
Your ticket includes the Bailong sightseeing elevator and Tianzi Mountain cable car. You will take the world’s tallest outdoor elevator to reach the top of the park. The Tianzi Mountain cable car takes you to pass over the park’s towering sandstone pillars and lush forests.
The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is renowned for its majestic landscape, featuring towering mountains, winding streams, mysterious caves, breathtaking cliffs, and lush forests. A highlight of the canyon is the world-famous glass bridge, a daring structure that stretches 430 meters long and 300 meters high above the canyon.
As you step onto the glass bridge, you’ll be immediately captivated by the stunning canyon scenery. The transparent glass floor will likely send shivers down your spine. For timid travelers, the experience might be a bit daunting, with a strong urge to cling to the guardrails or simply close their eyes and take a leap of faith.
As dusk falls, you will venture to the 72 Wonder Tower, an ancient and neon-lit city that never sleeps. An old legend gives rise to the towering 109-meter stilt building.
You’ll visit Tianmen Mountain, the crown jewel of Zhangjiajie, in the morning. As the highest peak in the region, the mountain offers a thrilling adventure with stunning vistas here.
After lunch, a two-hour drive takes us to Furong Town. Its unique charm stems from its status as a spectacular ancient town built upon a waterfall. The town is divided by the cascading water, featuring picturesque Tujia Stilt Houses on one side and the majestic Yuwang Palace on the other. You will stay the night here to admire the magnificent illuminated night view.
Drive approximately 1.5 hours from Furong Town to reach Fenghuang Ancient Town. This town boasts a history dating back centuries, evident in its well-preserved ancient architecture and vibrant ethnic minority cultures. Lush mountains surround the city’s picturesque location along the Tuo River. Your guide will lead you on a tour of local attractions, including the Hongqiao Art Building, Wanshou Palace, and Chongde Hall.
When the sun sets, Fenghuang Ancient Town truly comes alive with a vibrant nightlife scene. You will take a boat cruise on the Tuojiang River and enjoy the energy as live music fills the air, bars buzz with activity, and a completely different, illuminated side of the town emerges.
