Zhangjiajie In-Depth Tour and Furong Town

Two days in Wulingyuan, the Grand Canyon Glass Bridge and Huanglong Cave, plus a high-speed train day trip to Furong Town and Tianmen Mountain.

This itinerary covers the main sights at a more relaxed pace than the four-day version. Stay in Wulingyuan for the first three nights, visiting the north and south sections of the Forest Park, Huanglong Cave, the Grand Canyon Glass Bridge and Baofeng Lake. On the fourth night, move to the city centre, explore Dayong Ancient City, and take the high-speed train to Furong Town to see the Tujia village above the waterfall. On the last day, go up Tianmen Mountain before you leave. This suits first-time visitors who want to see everything.
