Daily Itinerary
Meet the local team at Chongqing Airport or railway station and transfer to the hotel. The rest of the day is free to recover from the journey or take an independent evening walk.
Begin around midday at the Liziba monorail viewpoint, then continue to Kuixing Building and Jiefangbei. Share a Chongqing hot-pot dinner before walking by the riverfront lights and stilted buildings of Hongya Cave.
Travel from Chongqing to Wulong and enter the Three Natural Bridges scenic area. View the Tianlong, Qinglong and Heilong limestone arches from the available observation, elevator and canyon sections, then return to Chongqing. Keeping this as a focused Wulong day protects the evening rest and luggage preparation needed before the high-speed train to Zhangjiajie on day four.
Take the high-speed train from Chongqing to Zhangjiajie, usually about two to three hours depending on the timetable. Meet the local team on arrival, transfer to the hotel and keep the rest of the day free.
Enter Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and ascend toward Yuanjiajie by the Bailong Elevator. Follow the cliffside viewpoints among the sandstone pillars, then continue to Tianzi Mountain and He Long Park before returning to the hotel.
Visit Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon and its glass bridge, then change pace with a boat ride on Baofeng Lake. The day combines an active canyon section with a quieter view of the forested cliffs from the water.
Ride the cableway to Tianmen Mountain and explore the available cliffside walkway, Tianmen Cave and mountain viewpoints. Return to the city for the airport or railway-station transfer, leaving enough time for the booked departure.
