Experience the ultimate contrast between Zhangjiajie’s soaring peaks and its grounded cultural heritage in this exclusive private tour. This journey takes you beyond the typical tourist path with a logical flow from the clouds to the city streets.
Start your morning at Tianmen Mountain, where you will ascend via cable car to witness the winding 99-Bend Road, brave the Glass Skywalk, and reach the iconic Heaven's Gate. After a morning in the peaks, descend to the city to explore the "soul" of Zhangjiajie. Visit the 600-year-old Puguang Temple—a rare site older than the Forbidden City that harmoniously blends Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
Navigate through the sensory wonders of a local farmers’ market before diving into the region's artistic legacy. Watch master artisans hand-weave vibrant Tujia brocade and explore the Junsheng Sandstone Painting Gallery, where Zhangjiajie's ethereal landscapes are recreated using natural minerals and stone.
