Core Attractions of TF Adventure Park
TF Adventure Park blends high-adrenaline outdoor sports with family-friendly leisure zones.
1. The Golden Buddha Hand Bridge (佛手天桥)
The park's crown jewel: two 22-meter golden stone-sculpted hands extending out from the sheer cliff face, holding a transparent glass walkway over the valley. Standing on the palm offers panoramic views of misty karst mountain peaks.
2. Via Ferrata Cliff Climbing (飞拉达)
A 466-meter cliffside route equipped with steel cables, iron rungs, and suspension bridges fixed directly into the rock face. It gives beginners and seasoned climbers the feeling of traversing Zhangjiajie's sky-ladders safely with full harness equipment.
3. 3,600-Meter Cliff Glass Slide Rafting (尖叫漂流)
This isn't your average rafting trip. Starting from a jungle-clad peak almost 1,000 meters high, you’ll twist and turn down the mountain for roughly 3,600 meters, plummeting down a dramatic 150-meter drop!.
4. High-Altitude Zip Lines (高空滑索）
Fly across forested canyons on high-speed zip lines.
5&6. Mountain Go-Karting & Vintage Harley-Style Off-Roaders (飞驰人生&驼峰哈雷)
Race down winding mountain paths in a go-kart or cruise through the peaks aboard vintage Harley-style off-roaders.
6. Sky Mirror (Family-Friendly Zone)
For families with young children or non-climbers, the park features a wide "Sky Mirror" glass deck for cloud reflections, interactive squirrel feeding zones, and "magic carpet" outdoor escalators that take you uphill without tiring little legs.
6. Summit Night Light Show (万福顶 灯光秀）
During evening hours, the entire mountain illuminates with dynamic light projections, turning the cliff faces and Buddha Hand into an atmospheric nighttime spectacle before you head back to the city.
Recommended Route: Ride-by-Ride
To save your energy and skip the endless stairs, the park features outdoor 'magic carpets'—covered moving walkways where you can sit back or relax as they carry you effortlessly up the mountain.
