Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: The Grand Canyon of Zhangjiajie, Sanguansi, Zhangjiajie 427000 China
Expect pickup from your hotel in Zhangjiajie city or Wulingyuan town at 9am for the drive to the Grand Canyon of Zhangjiaie: it’s about an hour from downtown Zhangjiajie or 40 minutes from Wulingyuan.
As you approach the entrance, take the time to admire the expanse of bamboo forest that stretches into the distance. A sheer gorge, with jagged cliffs and a path slicing through the narrow canyon, leads to the bottom of the valley.
The Grand Canyon of Zhangjiajie scenic area covers around 37 square miles (60 square kilometers), and is rich with the dramatic karst landscapes of pillars, cliffs, gorges, and rock formations that have mesmerized visitors since time immemorial. Your guide will escort you to the main attractions, some by foot, and some by vehicle.
Marvel at vistas like One Line Sky, the Millennial Rattan, Chuangwang Pavilion, Rotten Ship Rock, the Bandit Hole, and more. Capture terrifying selfies perched high above the landscape as you learn about the history of the area, including the bloody battles fought between the 17th-century general Wu Sangui and the rebel leader Li Zicheng in the dying days of the Ming dynasty.
Duration: 5 hours
