Itinerary

Day 1:New York - Luray Caverns -
Summary of the Day:Depart from NYC head to Virginia State, and our first sightseeing at this journey is the most stunning and largest cave of the entire east coast, the Luray Caverns. Which is one of the National Natural Landmark of US? The underground cavern system is generously adorned with speleothems (columns, mud flows, stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, mirrored pools, etc.) The path that goes through Luray Caverns
starts at the entrance. Next it curves throughout the caverns and there is a spring of water called Dream Lake. Stalactites are reflected in the water making them appear to be Stalagmites. This illusion is often so convincing that people are unable to see the real bottom. The caverns are perhaps best known for the Great Stalacpipe Organ, a lithopone made from solenoid fired strikers that tap stalactites of various sizes to produce tones similar to those of xylophones, tuning forks, or bells.1.If the Luray Cavern is closed, we will go to Shenandoah Cavern instead.
2.Participating guests need to buy tickets with tour guides. They must not use their own tickets or use City Pass.
3.If the Luray cave is closed, it will be replaced by the Fairy Cave National Park.Meals Included: Breakfast:None / Lunch:None / Dinner:NoneHotel: La Quinta Inn Roanoke Salem 或 Quality Inn Roanoke Airport or similar hotels

Day 2:Great Smoky Mountains - Dixie Stampede Dining Show -
Summary of the Day:
In the morning we head to Tennessee, known as a home for country music. We will stop at a welcome center and continue the trip with more knowledge to the musical history and heritage of Tennessee. We will drive through the Great Smoky Mountains. With the innovative itinerary, everyone has this unique chance to visit the most popular National Park. It is the major tourist attraction in the Eastern United States. The most popular scenic point of the Park is Newfound Gap, which is located at an altitude of 5046 feet between the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. From the platform, it allows visitors to see a 360-degree panorama of the surroundings, giving visitors a spectacular view and fresh air of the mountains. Open areas in the park offer some best opportunities to see wildlife, for example black bear, elk, white-tail deer, as well as over 1,500 kinds of wildflowers. !
After a stop in Gatlinburg, TN, we will continue on to Pigeon Forge, TN which is a family-friendly mountain town within the Smokies. Here you can attend the most visited dinner attraction in America (at your own expense): Dixie Stampede, dine in a dinner theatre where you can watch a brilliant show with 32 horses and a cast of top-notch riders plus a mouth-watering four-course feast complete with a delicious dessert! They will thrill you with daring feats of trick riding and competition, pitting North against South in a friendly and fun rivalry. You will also enjoy music, dancing, special effects and family friendly comedy along the way. And then, we will go and stay in Chattanooga, TN at night.Meals Included: Breakfast: Continental Breakfast / Lunch:None / Dinner:NoneHotel: Quality Inn Chattanooga Shallowford Rd 或 Days Inn by Wyndham Chattanooga/Hamilton Place or similar hotels

Day 3:Chattanooga - Virginia -
Summary of the Day:
We will spend the day exploring Chattanooga, TN and the surrounding area. Our day includes heading to Lookout Mountain to take the Lookout Mountain Incline Railway, see the Ruby Falls as well as visit the Rock City.
Lookout Mountain - This historic hilltop on the southern border of Tennessee has a colorful history as a place of importance during wartime. Most notably, it was the centerpiece of the Battle of Lookout Mountain during the American Civil War.
Lookout Mountain Incline Railway -This tram has been running almost continually since 1895 and with the exception of an engine update in 1911, it hasn't changed very much in more than 100 years of operation. The ride stretches about one mile up the mountain and the incline reaches a breathtaking 72.7% grade - almost straight up! Enjoy the “America’s Most Amazing Mile” aboard!
Ruby Falls - a breathtaking 145-foot underground waterfall, is a natural wonder. It is located over 1,120 feet below the surface of Lookout Mountain. It is fed by rainwater and underground springs and the water from the falls eventually flows into the Tennessee River.
Rock City - On the top of the Rock City, it is said seven neighboring states might be seen from Lover's Leap - you can find out whether it is true or not. However, we are sure you will be amazed by the breathtaking panoramic views of natural landscape, massive ancient rock formations, and gardens with over 400 native plant species.Meals Included: Breakfast: Continental Breakfast / Lunch:None / Dinner:NoneHotel: La Quinta Inn Roanoke Salem 或 Quality Inn Roanoke Airport or similar hotels
