An Unforgettable Journey Across China’s Most Beautiful Cities
Had an amazing experience with China xian tour company. The trip across Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu, Chongqing, Zhangjiajie, and Shanghai was very well organized and smooth from start to finish. The guides were friendly, helpful, and made sure we covered all the major attractions while also learning about the local culture and history. A memorable journey and highly recommended for anyone planning to explore China!

ZhangJiaJie and Chingqing tour
The trip was from August 30th to September 3rd. 2025, which includes visits to Zhangjiajie and Chongqing. The level of detail, thoughtful planning, and cultural insights reflected in the schedule are truly impressive. Lenna (ChinaXi’an Tour)promptly addressed my requests, ensuring a smooth planning process. From logistics to local experiences, she struck the perfect balance between efficiency and enrichment. It’s clear that a lot of care went into making the itinerary both engaging and seamless for our tour. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in China. I also appreciate the two local guides, Doris DingJie and Yaeger, for their dedication in sharing local cultures with us. They did an excellent job explaining the history and culture, which greatly inspired us to learn more about China. They also extended their service in recommending the different type of local dishes and food. I get to try many and they are all very delicious. Both tour guides are more like friends and i believe that’s what tourist would have wanted. I wanna thank them for their professionalism and dedication towards the job. I will definitely recommend ChinaXian Tour for my next trip, and I hope Lenna will assist me with my future requests as well. Thank you all and Keep up the great work
Response from the operator: Dear friend, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such heartfelt feedback about your recent trip from August 30th to September 3rd, 2025, exploring Zhangjiajie and Chongqing. We are truly delighted to hear that you were impressed with the thoughtful planning, cultural insights, and seamless logistics arranged by Lenna. It’s wonderful to know that our tour guides made your experience so engaging and memorable with their dedication, knowledge, and friendly guidance. Your kind words will be shared with the entire team. We sincerely appreciate your trust and look forward to assisting you with your next tour in China! Warm regards, Lenna China Xi'an Tour

It's great that he could share those hidden gems with you. We look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable adventures! Warm regards, China Xian Tour

Best Tour Guide - Bruce
Bruce was the best tour guide anyone could ask for. We contacted other agencies and all of them told us it was not possible to do ZhangJiaJie in two days and tried to upsell us on every little item and activity. Bruce was extremely knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, and shared all the perfect photo spots that had minimal tourists groups around for perfect photos! He even helped us make reservations for dinner and book transportation to the train station the day of our departure. If every vacation had a tour guide like Bruce it would be very efficient!
Response from the operator: Dear Helen_H, we appreciate you sharing your wonderful journey with us. It is so exciting to know that you enjoyed a memorable trip. We are all striving for perfect tours. We expect to serve more journeys with you! Best regards,

2 Days Zhangjiajie Private Tour: Avatar Mountain & Tianmenshan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zhangjiajie.
How much does 2 Days Zhangjiajie Private Tour: Avatar Mountain & Tianmenshan cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zhangjiajie usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Days Zhangjiajie Private Tour: Avatar Mountain & Tianmenshan take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zhangjiajie is not rushed.
Is 2 Days Zhangjiajie Private Tour: Avatar Mountain & Tianmenshan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Zhangjiajie, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Zhangjiajie Private Tour: Avatar Mountain & Tianmenshan?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 72 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Days Zhangjiajie Private Tour: Avatar Mountain & Tianmenshan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Days Zhangjiajie Private Tour: Avatar Mountain & Tianmenshan?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zhangjiajie can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zhangjiajie and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Zhangjiajie Private Tour: Avatar Mountain & Tianmenshan start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zhangjiajie within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zhangjiajie?
+
On Outty we rank every Zhangjiajie experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 1-Day Best Mini Group & Private Tours to Mt. Avatar & Forest Park, 1-2 Days All-inclusive Tours: Mt Avatar, Glass Bridge, Mt Tianmen, 1-Day Private Zhangjiajie Tour to Avatar Mountain & Glass Bridge. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zhangjiajie?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zhangjiajie?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
