Afterwards, you’ll walk down the extremely steep 999 steps (Stairway to Heaven), with an incline of up to 45°. Finally, you will take the Tianmen Mountain Express Cableway down to the mountain gate parking lot, then transfer to a shuttle bus back to the Tianmen Mountain Tourist Center, where your tour guide and driver will be waiting for you.

Good morning, Tracy.

We have completed our travel in China. Thank you very much for arranging this wonderful tour for us.

You amended the itinerary 3 times according to our needs. One of the changes in the itinerary was your suggestion to add the Xingyi Fenglin Buyi Scenic Area which was an excellent recommendation.

I understand that you wish me to provide our reviews and feedback. Here they are:

Tracy is efficient and very patient with us. Tour was very well arranged. Everything is good.

Everything was well arranged. The guides and drivers in both Guizhou and Guilin were caring. Guilin guide Kenny was particularly knowledgeable.

Most Important Travel Notes

How to Get to Chongqing

Chongqing can be reached easily by flight or high speed train from many big cities of China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guilin, Guangzhou, Xian, Chengdu, etc. Besides, there are also frequent international flights from New York, Singapore, London, Sydney, etc.

Best Time to Chongqing and Zhangjiajie

It is suitable to visit Chongqing and Zhangjiajie at any time of the year. Still, the best travelling seasons are (March ~ June), Spring and Autumn (September ~ November) when the temperature is most mild and comfortable. Winter is a good time to avoid crowds, and Zhangjiajie will be covered by snow, which is awesome for a photography tour.

What to Wear during This Trip

For spring and autumn, light sweaters, long shirts and long pants are suggested for Chongqing and Zhangjiajie trips. In summer, shirts and shorts are enough. Besides, it is advised to prepare a raincoat and non-slip shoes for unexpected rains. In winter, it is a little cold, and down jackets, sweaters, warm pants and socks, scarves, gloves, etc. are better to keep warm. Remember to wear comfortable shoes or sneakers, because you will have a lot of steps to walk around those natural scenic spots. Besides, bring sunblock, sunglasses and a hat to protect your skin and eyes. Because of the temperature difference between day and night in Zhangjiajie, you need to keep warm in the early morning and night.

Where to Stay During Your Trip

In Chongqing, there are lots of different kinds of hotels ranging from international brands to boutique styles that provide you with an easy stay. First-timers are strongly advised to stay in the downtown area, like Yuzhong District, which has the most convenient transportation, shopping malls, and great restaurants.

While on your Zhangjiajie tour, you have the option to stay in either Wulingyuan Town or Zhangjiajie's downtown area. If your plan involves exploring the Wulingyuan Scenic Area for several days, we recommend staying in a hotel in Wulingyuan Town. This location is just 10 minutes away from the National Park Entrance.

Know Zhangjiajie Main Scenic Attractions, Location & Distance

Wulingyuan Scenic Area include four parts: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (Huangshi Village and Golden Whip Stream), Yuanjiajie, Tianzi Mountain and Yangjiajie. Travelers usually spend about two days exploring this vast area - one day to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and the other day to Yuanjiajie & Tianzi Mountain.

To travel further with thrilling experience, many travelers would like to spend one more day to Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon with Glass Bridge; and if you want to travel in a relaxing way, you can only go and challenge Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge over the Grand Canyon, and take an enjoyable visit to Baofeng Lake with boat experience passing through the incredible peaks or explore Yellow Dragon Cave underground.

Besides the Wulingyuan exploration, many travelers choose to spend one day in Zhangjiajie downtown area for a visit to Tianmen Mountain.
