Itinerary
Our tour guide and driver will meet you in the hotel lobby, pay a visit to Tianmen Mountain. Regarded as the soul of Zhangjiajie, Tianmen Mountain is the highest mountain in Zhangjiajie. The views include graceful ancient trees, karst hillocks and long roads that are carved from the sides of the cliff. The cablecar takes approximately 30 minutes from the city center to the mountain top and is the longest one in the world. The most popular attractions on the top of mountain are Heaven Gate, Glass Skywalk, 99 Bend Road and so on. Be transferred to Furong Town in the afternoon, it takes approximately 60-70 minuted driving from Zhangjiajie to Furong Town by a private van.
Nestled in the lush mountains of Western Hunan's Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Furong Town (literally "Hibiscus Town") is a captivating ancient town that seems suspended in time. What makes Furong Town truly unique is its spectacular natural setting, seamlessly integrated with human habitation. The town is dramatically built on a cliffside, with rows of traditional Tujia stilted houses (Diaojiaolou) cascading down towards the You River. The most breathtaking feature is the magnificent waterfall that flows directly through the heart of the settlement, earning it the nickname "Town on the Waterfall." You will particularly enjoy the night lights of this beautiful ancient town. Under a starry sky, Furong Town at night is no longer just a historical site. It becomes a living painting, a poetic vision where the works of man and the grandeur of nature are harmoniously woven together by the magic of light. It is an experience of pure, tranquil enchantment.

AMAZING time! The heavens gate hike was the highlight of my China trip. Probably one of the best experiences I have had travelling, the 999 steps seems hard, especially looking at it from the bottom but is totally doable! My tour guide Cara was amazing, would highly recommend this tour to anyone, the rest of the experience on the top of the mountain was really cool, and the visit to Furong town was also awesome. I booked this tour for my birthday and Cara helped to make my day really special and memorable.

Lily was an exceptional guide — knowledgeable, warm, and full of cultural and historical insights that transformed the sites into living stories.

Lillian and Driver Mr. Zhang were not only on time but early with cold waters available. The van was super comfortable and clean. Lillian guided us nicely and we were grateful for her English so we could better follow the instructions on where to go and learn about Tianmen Mountain. Lillian was patient when I needed to pause for rest and happily took our photos. For this tour we saw Heaven’s Gate and Furong Ancient Town. I definitely recommend. Where comfortable shoes, bring an electric portable fan, and a battery pack because you’ll take a 1000 photos!!! Enjoy!

Absolutely brilliant tour! Mt Tianmen and the Furong night illumination were stunning, but what really made the experience was our guide, Yang. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about her job. Her calm and accommodating nature made the day effortless and enjoyable, and her insights brought every stop to life. Highly recommend booking this tour—especially with Yang. An unforgettable experience!
