From PHP 29,185 per person, which is USD 449 at the rate we use, for the Avatar mountains in five days with the airfare in the price. Most departures are PHP 32,435. The 6 March 2027 run is the cheap one.
The main event is Yuanjiajie, up and down on the Bailong sky lift, the fastest outdoor elevator in the world. That is where the Hallelujah Mountain is, the sandstone pillar that gave Pandora its floating rocks. You also get the First Nature Bridge, Mihuntai, the Golden Whip Brook walk, the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon and its glass bridge. Hotels are 5 star for all four nights, which is unusual at this price.
Be clear on two things first. This is a mandatory shopping tour with four stops at 90 minutes each, and skipping them costs USD 150 per person. And Tianmen Mountain, the cable car and the skywalk, is not included. It is an USD 80 optional on Day 4.

Price Excludes
The rate above covers what is listed under Price Includes. These are the costs that land on top of it. We would rather you saw the real number now than found it later.
Booking Information – Upon booking, please expect an email from us with your voucher, your reminders and what happens next.
Airfare – Round trip airfare is included in the price, along with airport tax and the terminal fee. The China group visa is arranged by the operator and collected with your tour fee.
Hotel – Rooms are twin sharing. Standard check-in is 2PM and check out is 12NN unless the itinerary says otherwise. Early check-in and late check-out are subject to availability and fees. Children are arranged in the same room as their parents. If an extra room is needed, or for special requests, additional costs will apply.
Dates – Every departure is priced on its own date in the calendar above. Rates are subject to change and all rooms are subject to availability.
No. Tianmen Mountain, with the cable car, the skywalk glass bridge and Tianmen Cave, is an USD 80 per person optional on Day 4. The Avatar mountains at Yuanjiajie and the Bailong sky lift are included. They are two different mountains, about an hour apart, and people often assume one package covers both.
Four stops at a minimum of 90 minutes each, so six hours across Days 3 and 4. A Chinese medicine store, a latex store, a tea house and a jewellery store. If the group skips any of them or leaves early, the operator charges USD 150 per person.
The operator prices that one departure at USD 449 instead of USD 499, so PHP 29,185 instead of PHP 32,435. Same itinerary, same hotels. If your dates are flexible it is the one to take.
The operator lists 5 star for all four nights, with 45sqm rooms in Changde, 28sqm in Zhangjiajie and 35sqm at the voco by Changsha airport. Chinese 5 star ratings are local ratings, so set your expectations at comfortable business hotel rather than luxury resort.
Children aged 6 and over must have their own bed and pay the full adult rate. For children aged 2 to 6 without a bed the operator quotes USD 579 on the January and February departures and USD 429 on 6 March. The USD 579 figure is higher than the adult rate, which does not look right to us, so please ask us to confirm before booking a child on those dates.
Yes, both up and down. It is a 326 metre glass elevator cut into the cliff and it is the normal way up to Yuanjiajie. The entrance fee and the lift are both in the price.
Four. Manila to Guangzhou, Guangzhou to Changsha on the way in, then the reverse coming home. Day 1 is a long travel day and you arrive at the Changde hotel in the evening.
