We were staying near the other entrance to the park so we were picked up by Linda, our guide and her driver. We drove back to Tianmen Mountain cableway Station and began our journey up the mountain. Our day was cloudy with a little drizzle throughout the day. That may have been a blessing as we walked on the glass walk way around the mountainside and were unable to see below us (for those of us with a fear of heights). But the park was beautiful and the sights spectacular even on such a day. Our main reason for coming was to see Heaven's Gate and walk the 999 steps made famous to us by the Land Rover commercial of the car going up the mountain steps.We arrived at the opening at the top and took the escalators down to the bottom and began our trek up. 45 minutes later we looked down the 999 steps and celebrated our accomplishment. 15 minutes later we were at the bottom taking in the awe inspiring view. Then it was a wild ride down the mountain on the shuttle bus back to the cable cars. Linda was very helpful and informative throughout the day and even gave us ideas for our next day near where we were staying. We sent her pictures and a thank you for all her help . Although we did not get to the glass bridge, everything else was spectacular. And on a sunny day, the view would be unmatched!

Zhangjiajie was wonderful and a lot of that had to do with Victor. He adjusted the tour for our 2 young boys and they had a blast. The boys were super comfortable with him, often racing ahead to go hold hands with him. The accommodations were best at the Pullman in Wulingyuan and at the Sunshine in Zhiangjiajie itself. The Phoenix Grand in Fenghuang was dark and dated but admittedly the only 4 star hotel on the trip, and probably one of the fewer high end options in that city. The lunch and dinner recommendations throughout the trip were great. The van driver was very reliable and a safe driver. Our pick ups and drop-off were very late in the day and that wasn't a problem. What a great time!
