Beijing & Zhangjiajie, China

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Beijing is China's capital and cultural heartland, home to iconic landmarks such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square, drawing millions of visitors eager to explore thousands of years of imperial history. Zhangjiajie, located in Hunan Province, is a dramatic natural wonderland famous for its towering sandstone pillar formations — said to have inspired the floating mountains in the film Avatar — and is protected within a UNESCO-listed national forest park. Together, these two destinations offer a compelling contrast of urban heritage and surreal landscapes. Travellers come for the mix of world-class history, Chinese cuisine, hiking trails, and some of the most jaw-dropping scenery on the planet.

Expect hostel dorms and budget guesthouses, metro and Didi rides, and independent side trips. Costs are approximate backpacker rates in GBP and exclude international flights and the Chinese visa.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Beijing & Zhangjiajie, China yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
