Important Notes

1. Safety & Comfort:
   • Wear non-slip shoes for the glass skywalks and mountain paths.
   • Bring a light jacket—temperatures can be 5–10°C cooler at higher altitudes.
   • Follow all safety instructions from staff on the cable cars and glass skywalks.
2. Time Management:
   • Arrive at the hotel lobby on time to avoid delays (the scenic area is 40–60 minutes from central Zhangjiajie).
   • Allow extra time for cable car queues during peak seasons (May–October, holidays)
3. Cultural & Etiquette Tips:
   • Respect local customs—Tianmen Cave is considered a sacred site, so keep noise levels low.
   • Do not lean on or touch the glass skywalk barriers for safety.
4. Flexibility:
   • The itinerary can be adjusted for special needs (e.g., slower pace, dietary restrictions). Please inform your guide in advance.
