Overview
Hunan in two halves: the river towns of the west — Fenghuang by night, Furong built over a waterfall, a Miao village — then three nights at Wulingyuan for Tianmen Mountain, the Bailong lift and the sandstone pillars that inspired Avatar. A high-speed train brings you to Guangzhou for a day of Cantonese streets and markets before flying home.

Day by day
Day 02
Changsha → Fenghuang Ancient Town
Visit Orange Isle in the Xiang River with a view across to Yuelu Mountain, then drive west to Fenghuang with a lunch stop in Changde. Check in at the ancient town and spend the evening on Dongzheng snack street, at the North Gate Tower and the stepping stones across the Tuo River.
Day 03
Dehang Miao Village → Furong Town
Drive to Dehang, a Miao village set in the gorges of western Hunan, then continue to Furong Town, the old riverside settlement built above a waterfall. Dinner is taken in Furong Town and the old town is lit after dark.
Day 04
Tianmen Mountain → Wulingyuan
Morning at leisure with lunch on your own, then drive to Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park for Tianmen Cave and the glass skywalk. Afterwards visit the Seventy-Two Wonder Building before checking in at Wulingyuan. When the park switches its lights on after dark, the Heaven’s Gate stairway can be seen lit from below; this depends on weather and the park’s notice.
Day 05
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
A full day in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Ride the Bailong Elevator up to Yuanjiajie for the Qiankun Pillar, the sandstone column that inspired the floating mountains in Avatar. After lunch continue to Tianzi Mountain and the West Sea Stone Forest.
