Morning mist threads through carved sandstone pillars as a private van eases into the gates of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. On day one, a cable car climbs to Tianzi Mountain and drops visitors into a landscape of vertical towers that seem to push the sky aside; later the Bailong Elevator plunges you down a cliff-face with glass between your feet and the valley below.
