Travel considerations:

1. Most tickets for Zhangjiajie scenic spots are subject to real-name system. You must bring your ID card and bring preferential certificates if you enjoy preferential policies;

2. Accommodation: In the Greater Xiangxi area of Zhangjiajie, due to development conditions, hotel standards cannot be compared with hotels of the same level in major cities; most of them supply hot water and air conditioning at fixed times. Please seize the bathing time. Hunan promotes tourism and environmental protection, and hotels do not provide one-time free toiletries, please bring your own or buy them locally;

3. Pay attention to safety:

① On trains and stations, beware of fake staff and soliciting aunts in uniforms, pretending to be tourism workers, wantonly promoting low-cost travel, and do not come into contact with them, otherwise you will not discuss it, and this will not affect the good mood of the entire journey;

② Don't take a taxi near the station, they will take you places you don't want to go;

③ Self-driving, don't let strangers get into your car at highway intersections. Don't trust roadside soliciting people to help you buy discount tickets. You want to be cheap, but others want to make money. Self-driving is a piece of fat in their eyes. Fat meat, who else would you kill?

4. Zhangjiajie is a minority inhabited area. Please respect local customs and habits and do not conflict with local people and local businesses;

5. Smoking is strictly prohibited in the scenic area. If you smoke, please go to designated smoking points, otherwise you will be severely fined. Please do not throw garbage everywhere to protect the tourist health environment;
