Потрясающая поездка в Джанцзяцзе!
![]() Великолепный тур, великолепные горы, великолепный гид Abbie! Ездили с женой и семейной парой друзей. Первый раз в Китае. Когда собирались, гадали, что нас ждёт, но реальность оказалась выше всяких ожиданий. Инфраструктура на высшем уровне, организация туризма вызывает уважение. Как быстро тут справляются с гигантскими очередями - фантастика. Да, людей и очередей много, всё-таки сезон, но, опять же, за счёт организации потоков туристов, этого чаще всего просто не замечаешь. Виды - просто бомба! Это невероятно красиво! Везде, куда ни глянь. Одно дело смотреть фильм, другое - увидеть это всё вживую. Рекомендую Джанцзяцзе однозначно тем, кто любит природу, потрясающие виды, горы и классную атмосферу. Отдельное спасибо гиду Эбби. Всё рассказывает, при этом как-то ничего лишнего, всё по делу, и очень интересно. Ответила на все наши вопросы. Учла все наши пожелания в течение каждого дня. Как-то умудрялась провести нас 'тайными' тропам на некоторых маршрутам, чтоб было меньше туристов и лучше виды. Подарила нам приятные памятные подарки. Мне вообще принесла из дома китайских монеток (я коллекционирую, но тут нигде не найти). Очень обходительная и внимательная, и мне лично это очень непривычно после всех других гидов в других местах. Она даже запомнила в первый день предпочтения по кофе, у всех разные, и утром откуда-то нам его доставала заранее. Очень приятные впечатления, но мне иногда было жалко её, что так с нами возится :( Гиду 10 с плюсом по пятибальной шкале однозначно. В общем, писать могу ещё очень много, но, наверное, закончу тем, что всё было просто супер! Спасибо! more

Suggested Itinerary
Upon arrival your local tour guide will meet you at the arrival hall of the airport or the train station with a name plate. After meeting your tour guide, he/she will take you by private van and driver to your hotel. Have a good rest and be ready for the next day's adventure!
To avoid waiting in long queues, our tour guide will suggest the best time to start the day, and might suggest you get up early or alter your attraction schedule. Please kindly understand and cooperate.
Your private guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel and take you to Wulingyuan Scenic Area, where Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is located, to visit its two most classic and popular attractions.
Take a cable car up to Tianzi Mountain, and you will see large areas of grotesque peaks thrusting up. Walking along the steps spectacular views unfold in front of you from different angles.
In the afternoon, ride a public shuttle bus to Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, whose mountains are said to be the inspiration for Avatar's Hallelujah Mountain. This area is the most visited area due to its fame.
There is another option for getting down the mountain - Bailong Elevator. This glass elevator was built on the side of a cliff, and it claims to be the world's highest of its kind. It takes only 2 minutes to ascend to its peak.
Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon is a natural wonderland. It incorporates mountains, streams, caves, cliffs and forests. The world's longest and highest glass-bottomed bridge is located in this area. Walking along this glass bridge 300 meters above ground-level will be one of the coolest experiences of your tour!
Then drive to Baofeng Lake that is in a basin in the middle of this mountainous area. You need to walk about 20 minutes to reach the lake; then you'll enjoy a 30-minute ride in a wooden boat. It is a leisurely experience as you cruise on the clear water, view hills of various shapes, and enjoy the entertainment of local minority people singing their traditional songs.
Your heart will beat fast at Tianmen Mountain on the world's longest cable car, the suspended glass walkway almost a mile (1,430 meters) above the ground, and the '99 Bends' mountain road.
Tianmen Mountain is regarded as the 'soul' of Zhangjiajie, its highest mountain. The views include graceful ancient trees, karst hillocks and long roads that are carved from the sides of the cliff. The cable car takes 30 minutes from the city center to the mountain top and is the longest cable in the world.
Tianmen Cave (literally 'Heaven's Gate Hole') is a 30-meter-high hole formed naturally in the mountain like a doorway, well-known for being glided through by a world-class stuntman in a wing suit. To reach the hole, you can climb for about half an hour up the 'Stairway to Heaven'.
After the trip we will send you to the airport and wave goodbye.
