Zhangjiajie Travel Reviews

I and my wife spent two gorgeous days inside the Zhangjiajie National Park. Our guide Abbie and the travel company China Highlights were able to organize a wonderful experience. No queue at all, we were able to spend all our time looking the amazing picks, making pictures, listening all the stories about different pick names that Abbie told us, walking in the beautiful nature and along the river. The visit to the park took more than 5 hours a day and we walked for more than 10 km. At the end of the daily activities we had very good lunch. The guide was able to provide us walking sticks, rain jackets, sneaks and fruit overcoming our little problems, making our experience even more pleasant.

China Highlights sent Lee (Li) to be our tour guide in Zhangjiajie. She is a wonderful, cheerful and resourceful guide. We had awesome adventures in Zhangjiajie thanks to Lee, who gave us the VIP experience. Thank you, Li, for a memorable time in Zhangjiajie.

Zhangjajie is really a unique place: we spent a couple of days to visit the park and the other natural wonders, and it's beautiful beyond imagination. Our guide, Abbie, has been really amazing: she is knowledgeable and efficient and thanks to her our experience was perfect and memorable.

Our guide, Ms. Bree was outstanding and very knowledgeable and accommodating in all aspects of what we wants and needs in this fantastic journey throughout seeing the amazing wonder, China. Aside, China has a deep history and cultural heritage we enjoyed much; our 6 days with Ms. Bree was something I didn’t expect, 3 days in Fenghuang and the next 3 days in Zhangjiajie were very memorable and something to reminisce about in the future. The Tianmen Mountain and cave including the Glass Walkway and the cable car going up the mountain were just amazing! Next, the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park where the “Avatar and Pandora” were seen there in our dreams is another wonder of the world; going up on the, I think, 326 meters vertical Bailong Sightseeing Elevator in 1.5 minutes, presenting the views of the towers pinnacles all over the horizon were remarkable to behold; and the wonderful Hallelujah Mountain standing into heaven! The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon with the long connecting Glass Bridge, the zip line…. was another excellent place to explore.

Zhangjiajie was one of the highlights of our two weeks China tour and Cindy made it even better. She is very professional and very knowledgeable. Everything was organized so well: daily schedule, cars, driver, restaurants. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend China Highlights and Cindy.

We had a unique experience in this wonderful region in China. Linda our tour guide made our trip unforgettable. Thank you!

We spent two magnificent days, spectacular views and unspoiled nature. Our guide Tony was perfect in everything, sympathy and professionalism in the first place. My son (10 years old) was ecstatic with this place! The tour with China Highlights is highly recommended.

It was a part of amazing tour in China mainland with China Highlights! Thanks a lot one more time to our manager Li Liberman and our guide in Zhangjiajie Mrs Bree!!! I was n touch with Li during all tour( and before as well!)), he is very professional! Thank you Mrs Bree for our wonderful time in Zhangjijie ! You were very patient with our big group! Good luck! Hope to make new tours with your company!

Bree was a great guide. She is friendly, knowledgeable and organized in leading us through Zhangjiajie National Parks. Highly recommended.

I’ve been in Zhangjiajie for 3 days and the place is amazing. Cindy accompanied us on our trip making it really special. Cindy was really loving and introduced us to the local culture and food, not to mention the beautiful places she showed us. The tour is very comfortable and organized to the smallest detail. We didn't have to think about anything. Thank you Cindy

It was a wonderful experience on my and my family’s end. With our guide, Cindy, we experienced one of the most beautiful and breathtaking natural panorama. The guide, is one of the best you can find, she is the most wonderful person and never ceases to amaze ur with her care, knowledge and thoughtfulness.

Zhangjiajie fue la tercera parada de nuestro tour en China organizado por China Highlights. Nuestra guía fue Mía. Mía es nativa de Zhangjiajie, por lo que sabe mucho de la zona. Es joven, energética y muy sociable, por lo que hizo nuestra visita muy entretenida. Además, Mia siempre estuvo muy abierta a adaptar las actividades a lo que quisiéramos. No dudéis en incluir Zhangjiajie en vuestro paso por China, ya que son paisajes únicos. Y si pasáis por allí con Mia como guía, os aseguramos que no os vais a aburrir!

This tour was excellent from start to finish. Our guide, Alina, was friendly with great knowledgeable about both the history and local culture. She was flexible, attentive, and ensured that each day ran smoothly and comfortably. Most importantly, she knew the best routes and times to avoid the crowds, which made the experience far more enjoyable. I would highly recommend China Highlights and Alina for anyone looking to explore with insight and ease.

We just concluded a wonderful 5-day trip with Eileen. For me, it was surreal fulfilling an item from my bucket list to visit the Zhangjiajie National Park. Tianmen Mountain, and the Glassbridge Grand Canyon was a wonderful experience. Eileen encouraged us to try the zipline, something I couldn’t imagine before, and we were so glad we did it. Thanks, Eileen! Furong and Fenghuang ancient cities were beautiful additions to our trip. Eileen had to work extra hours in Fenghuang due to the crowd waiting for the scenic boat ride and we were glad to have waited til late night to get on. I can say we were glad to visit Hunan with China Highlights, who had been professional in their arrangements. Eileen was great to lead us through the program, and we felt well looked after. Mr Hu, our driver in Hunan was kindly and we felt safe with him.

This is our third tour with China Highlights. As always, their team was professional and delivered excellent personalised service. Many thanks to our dedicated and kind tour guide, Ann, my family and I were able to enjoy fantastic experiences in Zhangjiajie. As I am a disabled traveler requiring crutches for mobility, Ann was most helpful in ensuring that we had priority access in navigating the various lengthy queues. Despite the strenuous physical challenges of walking through Zhangjiajie forest park and Tianmen mountain, Ann found solutions and was a source of tremendous encouragement. I am so glad that she encouraged and enabled me to enjoy the experience together with my family. The experiences and spectacular views in Zhangjiajie were very much worth the effort. I would highly recommend anyone contemplating a trip to China to include Zhangjiajie in their itinerary.

Outstanding experiences in Zhangjiajie, Furong, and Fenghuang. Dai was extremely helpful with food, shows, pictures, and especially to expedite us through all the lines so minimal wait times. Dai made great connection with us.

Dai Dai us an amazing guide. She took great care of us. She offered to get us VIP tickets (worth the price!) which was very helpful to avoid extra steps and long lines. She was very informative about the history of China and Zhangjiajie. When we got back from a long day on the mountain, we wanted to get foot massages, so she arranged them for the four in our group at the Pullman Hotel where we were staying. Wonderful! Dai Dai is very joyful and pleasant to be around. Also, she is a great singer and a great picture taker!!

Fantastic family holiday！Many thanks to our amazing tour guide, Ann, who went above and beyond to make our visit to Zhangjiajie special, memorable and comfortable. Our family spent about 4 days in Zhangjiajie, and we were greatly impressed by the beautiful scenery across the region, including the “Hallelujah mountain,” stone forest, Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, and Tianmen Mountain. Our father had limited mobility, however Ann was incredibly considerate and took the initiative to find solutions such that he would be able to join us in enjoying the scenery too. Ann shared many insights about Zhangjiajie, recommended great restaurants and experiences. Special thanks also to Leeky for helping us organise such a special trip and for booking all our train tickets during a busy holiday period in China!

Our family relocated to China, and this trip was a holiday before the kids started school and to settle in. Zhangjiajie is stunning and magical, we loved every moment. But I am sending out a massive thanks yo our guide Kevin, who went above and beyond to further tailor our holiday after he got to know us and what we enjoyed. He was an absolute star and we had the most fun on this trip thanks to him!

The itinerary was comprehensive, but we were able to flex the pace; spending more time to take in the sights we love and pacing ourselves, walking 12-15km and climbing the equivalent of 30-60 floors and descending 30-50 floors daily (challenging for the 58-63 yo)!! It was indeed a great accomplishment for all of us! Zhangjiajie is simply amazing, the mountains, rocks, caves, waterfalls, flora and fauna ……. we highly recommend a visit. Don’t rush, spend sufficient time, including a visit to Furong Town and the Huang Long Caves. You will be Wowed!! Having MAX taking care of everything (including helping with photo taking … she’s an expert) allowed us to optimize our time and got the best everyday. Thank you, MAX, Coco and China Highlights!! Will definitely use China Highlights again for our next China holiday and hopefully get a MAX equivalent

We visited last week (April 2025) and our tour guide was Sara. She knew all the good views and how to navigate Zhangjiajie National Forest Park . My favorite day in the area was Tiamen Mountain/ Heaven’s gate because it was beautiful and a little less crowded. There is a fun slide down the mountain that I highly recommend! Sara picked good spots to eat and we pushed ourselves to try the signature local dish, which was delicious. She also helped us find a great tea ceremony in town and a really fun show at night. We did a lot in a small amount of time. We loved our experience!

Our tour guide Bree was very pleasant to be with and knowledgeable . She made the trip very productive by pointing out nice view points for us to take pictures . Shes very responsive to all our questions and helpful! Thank you China Highlights !

My experience with China highlights has never disappointed me. Zhangjiajie it’s a dream, it’s an incredible city and the views.. speechless. I can’t recommend it more, please go at least one time in your life. The hotel selection and breakfast buffet spectacular. Abbie was our guide, she is such a unique person, she is very kind, friendly, flexible, helpful, and caring! She is also an incredible photographer and her time management skills it’s perfect too. Despite being with 65+ year old crew (4/6) she helped us get the most of it, she was very patient as well. Some unique things about her, she sang a song for us, wrote a poem, gave us some magnets and local tea, she made sure we were happy and safe. I loved our experience and I know a lot of it was because of her. Thank you Abbie

Thank you Abbie for your patience and kindness with us. I have learnt a lot of Zhangjiajie from you. I am really proud to be Chinese and happy to be in the land where both of my parents were born. I am looking forward to seeing you again in the future. We will be waiting to see you in Peru. Take good care of yourself.

Dai Dai did a fantastic job at taking us on our tour in Zhangjaijie. She was very informative and patient.. We really enjoyed her company. Thank you.

What an incredible place Zhangjiajie is. Cindy was the perfect guide to take us to all of the fun activities to offer. The natural forest, the glass bridge, zip lining, sliding 300 meters I assume..to emerge at the Grand canyon. Even a trip up Tianmen mountain. She is charming and very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of touring this incredible place

Our experience was great! Our tour guide Ann, was phenomenal! She is the best! She has great communication skills, is very knowledgeable and made our Zhangjiajie experience enjoyable. She was very attentive to us and our needs. She would anticipate and have food ready for us when we arrived to restaurants. She helped us solve issues with our hotel and was always happy and with great attitude. I would recommend her and ask for her when I come back.

We enjoyed our trip to Zhangjiajie! Ann was our tour guide and she is definitely the best in town! She helped us with everything and made us feel like home. I would recommend her 100%!
