The experience

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park sits in Southern China as the real-world landscape that inspired Avatar's floating mountains. The stone pillars rise thousands of meters, and the traditional way up means climbing thousands of steps. This 4-day pass removes that equation: you get unlimited rides on the Bailong Elevator, the world's tallest outdoor elevator, and on all four major cableways that connect the peaks. That means you can chase light at Tianzi Mountain in the early morning, ride down to Golden Whip Stream by midday, and climb back up a different route in the afternoon without buying separate tickets or worrying about step counts.

Entry works through biometric scanning: present your passport and the QR code you receive after booking at either the East or South Gate, and you walk straight in. The pass is valid for four consecutive days, so you set your own rhythm: some travelers spend a full day on one peak, others move between three or four. Families and photographers often use the flexibility to return to the same viewpoint at different times of day. The Bailong Elevator alone saves the physical toll of the stone staircase, and the cableways let you string together routes that would otherwise require backtracking or scrambling.

Book your pass at least seven days ahead if you're traveling during a holiday period. Public transportation options run near the park if you need them, and the pass itself covers only entry and the mountain transfers: meals and any guide services are separate.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Infant (under 3): free.

What is the Bailong Elevator and why is it included in this pass?

The Bailong Elevator is the world's highest outdoor elevator, built into the mountainside at Zhangjiajie. It's included in this pass so you can ride it as many times as you want across the four days instead of paying per trip, which saves both money and the physical strain of climbing the stone steps alongside it.

Can I use this pass to visit the same peak twice, or do I have to visit a different area each day?

The pass is valid for four consecutive days with no restrictions on which areas you visit or how many times you return to them. You can spend two days on Tianzi Mountain if the light is right, or move between Yuanjiajie, Yangjiajie, and Golden Whip Stream on the same day: the unlimited transfers make that possible.

What happens if I arrive late or want to skip a day in the middle of my four days?

The pass is valid for four consecutive days starting from the date you first use it, so you cannot skip days or pause it. Plan your entry for the day you're ready to begin exploring, since the four-day window runs continuously from that point.

Do I need to bring anything to enter the park besides my passport?

Bring your passport and the QR code you receive after booking. Scan the code at the gate along with your passport for biometric entry at either the East or South Gate, and you're in.

Is this pass suitable if I have mobility concerns or don't want to walk much?

The pass is designed for travelers who want to see the peaks without the physical strain of climbing thousands of stone steps. The Bailong Elevator and cableways handle the vertical distance, though some walking between transfer points and along the ridge paths is still part of the experience.
