Tanzi Shan

Tianzi Shan is one of the four scenic zones in Zhangjiajie.

The cableway on Tianzi Shan is 2000m long. As the cable car runs across the dizzy peaks, passengers can get a full view of the spectacular landscape.

Bailong Elevator

The Bailong Elevator is a glass elevator built onto the side of a huge cliff that is 330m high. This elevator is claimed to be the highest outdoor elevator in the world. It was reported that it had gained three Guinness World Records.

As the Elevator ascends, one can get a good view of the surrounding peaks. Up in the mountains, the visitors can walk around and enjoy a panoramic view of numerous and peculiar peaks. One of the most intriguing features is a natural “bridge” spanning across two mountains. The Chinese call it “Number-One Bridge Under The World”.

E. Finale

Bao Feng Hu was the last item in our itinerary and we would be returning to Changsha the next day (18th April) when the Malaysians would fly home. The two ladies would return to Wuyishan by train at night on 18th April. It was a successful visit and we all enjoyed it.

Last but not least Lucy and I would like to thank Xiao Zhou, Jenny and Mei Xian for their effort and kindness in organizing a surprised but pleasant birthday celebration for Lucy at our last dinner in Zhangjiajie on 17th April.
