Here’s what you can’t miss.
1. Avatar Hallelujah Mountains
Yes, these are the ones that inspired James Cameron’s floating peaks in Avatar. This place is the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area. After the movie’s release, locals and travelers call them this place place Hallelujah Mountains.
Your Way Holiday will reserve the Bailong Elevator. It is the tallest outdoor elevator in the world. Right up the side of a cliff. Step out, and you’re instantly surrounded by towering stone spires rising into the clouds.
The most famous one? “Avatar Hallelujah Mountain” itself. Our guides help you find the perfect viewing platform—early, before the tour groups show up. Want drone shots or panoramic photos? We’ll get you to the right spot at the right light.
2. Tianzi Mountain
Tianzi Mountain is all about height. The name literally means “Son of Heaven,” and when you’re up here, you’ll see why.
Think of it as Zhangjiajie’s high balcony. You’ll get sweeping views over a forest of vertical rock columns, often blanketed in mist. Sunrise and sunset here are something else.
Your Way Holiday arranges cable car access and easy walking routes along the ridge. No need to hike unless you want to. Want a private sunrise tour? We’ve got you covered with early access, warm drinks, and front-row views.
3. Baofeng Lake
All those cliffs and peaks? They reflect beautifully in Baofeng Lake.
This peaceful spot is a change of pace from the dramatic mountains. Surrounded by green cliffs and quiet water, it’s ideal for a short boat ride. Local boatmen sometimes sing traditional songs as you drift along—simple, soothing, unforgettable.
Our Zhangjiajie tour packages include this scenic lake stop as a mid-day break. You’ll get reserved tickets, a seat with a view, and time to just relax. It’s one of those places that doesn’t try to impress—but still does.
4. Glass Skywalk on Tianmen Mountain
Want a thrill? Try walking on a clear glass bridge bolted to the side of Tianmen Mountain. It’s not for the faint-hearted—but the views are unmatched.
You’ll be 4,000 feet above the valley floor. Beneath your feet? Nothing but glass and air.
Your Way Holiday makes it easy. We’ll time your visit so you miss the long queues. Prefer a less crowded skywalk or a cable car down the cliffside? We’ll map your route and give you options.
Tianmen also has the world’s longest cable car ride—so you’ll float from the city of Zhangjiajie to the top of the mountain in just under 30 minutes. You won’t forget that ride.
Bonus Tip: Don’t Try to See It All in One Day
Zhangjiajie is big—like really big. Trying to pack everything into one day is a mistake.
That’s where Your Way Holiday shines. We design 2–3 day custom itineraries based on your pace, not a group schedule. Want to focus on photography? Prefer easy walks over intense hikes? Need breaks for food, tea, or just a quiet moment? Done.
We’ll also recommend boutique hotels near the park or luxury options in the city, so you’re never too far from the action—or a good night’s sleep.
