Highlights

  • Tianmen Mountain

At nearly 7.5km, the world's longest passenger cableway takes you direct from the heart of Zhangjiajie city to the lush summit of Tianmen Mountain. The views are undoubtedly breath-taking as you rise above dramatic limestone cliffs and burst through swirling mist banks to arrive in what feels like the heavens themselves.

  • Glass Bridge

Steps onto the structure, before striding, meandering and even lying 300 meters above the valley below. Daredevils can enjoy the world's highest bungee jump from the bridge, and fashionistas have evened turned parts of it into a catwalk. 

  • Yuanjiajie

This mighty mountain is mainly composed of quartzite. Lush trees and foggy mountains cover this beautiful landscape. The fictional, floating rocks in the movie "Avatar" were inspired by the rocks of Yuanjiajie. Stand on the observation deck and gorgeous landscapes will spread out before you in all four directions. It really is a sight to behold.
