5.4-Day Highlights of Zhangjiajie With Sunrise Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · from $366Best value

Explore Zhangjiajie with a private English-speaking guide, including Golden Whip Stream, Yuanjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, Tianmen Mountain, and the glass walkway. You sleep one night in a mountain homestay near the little-known Kongzhong Tianyuan. Guide Johnny Xiang is available for this route, though sunrise depends entirely on weather.

“Great value in having a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide take us from point to point without worrying what lines it was worth taking and stopping only on the most interesting sights. The one night on the mountain was very so-so (sub-par lodging and not very friendly service), but that didn’t subtract from the overall experience.”
