The Zhangjiajie Tour starts with an morning departure for the main entrance of Zhangjiajie National Park, the first national forest park in China, listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.

On the summit, take a peaceful walk to discover the Pillar of the Southern Sky. You will see the famous "Hallelujah Mountain", which is the floating mountain showed in the Hollywood movie "Avatar".

Adored by the Chinese, the peaks have been given a number of different poetic names, including the tallest which stands at 400 meters and is known as the Magical Eagle Protecting the Whip.

With clear water, pure air, and very well maintained grounds, the visit is a real treat for those who have been stuck in China’s megacities.
