After breakfast, we will venture into the breathtaking Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its towering sandstone pillars and mystical scenery that inspired the floating mountains in Avatar.

Our journey begins with a thrilling ride on the Bailong Elevator, the world's tallest outdoor elevator, ascending 326 meters up a cliffside. At the top, we will arrive in the scenic area of Yuanjiajie, where you'll stroll along winding paths among sky-high peaks, dense forest, and breathtaking vistas. Don't miss the "Avatar Hallelujah Mountain" and the natural stone bridge known as "First Bridge under Heaven".

Next, we'll transfer to Tianzi Mountain by shuttle bus, where you'll witness one of the most spectacular landscapes in China—rugged peaks rising above the clouds, deep ravines, and winding valleys that stretch far into the distance.

We had a very memorable experience in Xi’An thanks to the expertise and helpfulness from Norman, who helped us planned our trip, and Waldener, our local tour guide from Into Explore. Norman helped us with the itinerary and bookings of transport and accommodations so it was stress free for me. He asked us our preferences when making the rooms reservation to cater to what we like and recommended the best way and places to explore this city. Our tour guide was also flexible with our schedule so we were able to do what we wanted and working around the weather. We were supposed to go Mt Hua on the 2nd day of our tour but it was forecasted to rain. He switched our itinerary around so we could climb Mt Hua on the 3rd day instead when the rain had stopped. Thank you Into Explore for giving us peace of mind to sit back and enjoy our vacation.

Fue una buena decisión hacer el Circulo de Oro contratando a Into Explore. Una empresa confiable con una muy buena organización siempre pendientes de nuestros gustos y preferencias. La experiencia de la visita a la Gran Muralla los Soldados Terracota, el Jardín Yu y Shanghái fueron muy interesantes y aprendimos mucho sobre las distintas Dinastías y la historia de China.

Independent travel by train in China…
Independent travel by train in China can be daunting ordeal. We decided to use Intoexplore for booking the trip and are very happy we did. It almost felt like Norman was a family member guiding us through how to use Alipay for payments in China to where to find the ticket office in the train station to convert digital tickets to paper. He was always available (sometimes at 6 am!) to answer any question and solve any problems that arose .. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is thinking about independent travel to China .
