How to get to Phoenix from Zhangjiajie?

There are two ways to get from Zhangjiajie to Fenghuang. One is to transfer from train to car, and the other is to take a car directly. The two methods take about the same time.

The first type: train + car

Take the train from Zhangjiajie to Jishou first. There are many trains (about 13 trains), the earliest is 4:17 and the latest is 19:25; the ticket is 19.5 yuan, and the journey takes about 2 hours. After exiting Jishou, turn left. It takes 10 minutes to walk to Jishou North Bus Station, and then change to the bus that goes directly to Fenghuang. The departure time is 7:00-18:30, and the bus runs every 30 minutes. The fare is 24 yuan, and the car is 1 hour.

The advantage of this method is that the cost is low, and the disadvantage is that it needs to transfer, and there are very few time periods when the departure time is particularly good; if you arrive in Jishou too late, there will be no car to Phoenix, so you can only carpool there.

Second: Cars

Take a direct bus to Phoenix at Zhangjiajie Central Bus Station. There are 6 buses a day. The departure times are 8:30, 9:30, 12:30, 14:30, 15:30, and 17:20. The fare is 80 yuan. The journey takes about 4 hours.

In addition, there are also direct buses to Fenghuang in Wulingyuan Town outside Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. There are two buses a day. The departure times are 8:30 and 14:30. The fare is 80-100 yuan. The journey takes about 4 hours.

The bus terminals all arrive at Fenghuang County Long-distance Station (namely Fenghuang North Bus Station). There is bus No. 1 before leaving the station. No one sells tickets. The fare is 1 yuan. Take it to Nanhuamen and get off, which is the entrance of Fenghuang Ancient City.

The advantage of this method is its convenience, but the disadvantage is that the cost is slightly higher. People who are prone to carsick by car should also choose carefully.

Attention!!! In Jishou and Fenghuang Ancient City, try not to ignore the so-called low prices of those taxis soliciting passengers and take you somewhere to play, because the places they take you to are not Fenghuang Ancient City, but the attractions around the ancient city.

The third type: local travel and daily travel

If you feel that public transportation is too tiring and troublesome, you can choose a local day tour. The 2-day Phoenix tour from Zhangjiajie includes round-trip hotel pick-up, which saves the trouble of traveling on the road, making it easy and saves time and effort.
