Tour Overview

Experience the full magic of Hunan on this comprehensive 6-day private tour. We go beyond the basics, taking you to walk on the world-famous Glass Bridge and explore the underground wonder of Yellow Dragon Cave. You will stand in awe of the “Avatar Hallelujah Mountain” and the legendary Heaven’s Gate. What makes this tour unique is the “Slow Travel” pace through two distinct ancient towns: witness the waterfall cascading through Furong Town at night, and get lost in the romantic lights of Fenghuang Ancient Town. This is the perfect blend of adventure, nature, and culture.
