A full-day Zhangjiajie tour with Ten-mile Gallery, Bailong Elevator, Yuanjiajie, Tianzi Mountain. (B+L)

The park uses several transport stages, so the group follows the booked access sequence and agreed viewpoints. Confirm the Bailong Elevator ticket and any other scenic transport, and allow for queues when choosing the walking route.

A visit to Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge, Baofeng Lake. (B+L)

These are separate scenic-area visits with their own entry arrangements. Confirm the Glass Bridge reservation and the Baofeng Lake programme in advance, and discuss any discomfort with heights before the day starts.

Visit Tianmenshan and transfer to Fenghuang Ancient Town by car or high speed train. (B+L)

Tianmen's entry route and ticket time determine the morning schedule. The transfer mode to Fenghuang must be confirmed before booking; allow time to collect luggage and reach the next hotel rather than adding another attraction en route.

Explore Fenghuang Ancient Town in the morning and transfer back to Zhangjiajie for departure.

Leave time for the return transfer and airport or station procedures. The morning village visit requires a sufficiently late departure from Zhangjiajie; an early connection means shortening the visit or adjusting the previous night's accommodation.
