📌 Program Overview
This 5-day / 4-night Zhangjiajie, Grand Canyon & Fenghuang private tour is designed for travelers who want Zhangjiajie’s major scenic areas plus the riverside atmosphere of Fenghuang Ancient Town.
The route usually includes Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Tianmen Mountain, Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, the Glass Bridge area if open and suitable, and Fenghuang Ancient Town.
