Everyone has a plan when traveling. Whether to go with a group or choose a self-service tour, they will make a comparison. It will be easier to go with a group and arrange everything with you. Self-guided tours also require buying your own tickets, checking the weather, searching for strategies, and choosing a tour guide. Compare the two, making it easy and comfortable to follow a group. However, the quality of the tour is not as good as self-guided tours. Travel agencies arrange very few itineraries and the tour time is very short. It is unavoidable that the tour guide sells too much things, because the travel agency pays them too little, so self-guided tours are different. It is purely fun and does not restrict the guests 'time and attractions. You will find a lot of fun during the journey with the tour guide. Travel agencies are like: Teachers listen carefully in class and self-help tours are like: Shake hands and we are friends. Which of the two methods do you choose?

Introduction to Zhangjiajie

Zhangjiajie is different from other places. Its core scenic spot covers an area of about 400 square kilometers and is also a large scenic spot in the country. If you are traveling on a self-service basis in Zhangjiajie, I suggest that you hire a tour guide, because the scenic area is too big and there are many forks. As long as you decide on a tour guide, you can save a lot of things. The self-service tour guide can arrange cars, hotels, ticketing, etc. for you according to your requirements. The tour guide not only guides you to explain, but also tells you some ethnic scenery, etc. Many friends from other places are confused by the names Zhangjiajie, Wulingyuan, and Dayong. Let me give you a brief explanation here, and everyone will be very clear! Zhangjiajie, formerly known as Dayong, is the seat of Guyong State. As early as the late primitive society, ancestors began to reproduce and live on both sides of the Lishui River. In the era of Yao and Shun,"Shun let his joy go to the mountains to transform into the Southern Barbarians." Dayong County was established in the Ming Dynasty in 1369, and Yongding County was established in the 13th year of Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty (1735 AD). After liberation in 1949 to 1988, Cili County belonged to Changde Prefecture. By the end of 1988, Dayong and Sangzhi were under the jurisdiction of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture. In May 1988, with the approval of the State Council, Dayong City, a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of the province, was established. In April 1994, prefecture-level Dayong City was renamed Zhangjiajie City. Zhangjiajie City is named after the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is famous at home and abroad.

Tips for self-help tours in Zhangjiajie
The train arrives at Zhangjiajie. The only bus station in Zhangjiajie is 100 meters to the left of the exit. You must take a bus there to go to anywhere in Zhangjiajie. The starting price of a Zhangjiajie taxi is 5 yuan, and the air conditioner is 2 yuan in summer. There are generally three options for entering Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. 1. National Forest Park (fare is 12 yuan) Zhangjiajie to Forest Park is 27 kilometers, and the ride time is 40 minutes. 2. The 52-kilometer ride time from Tianzishan Ticket Station is 1 hour and a half (fare is 15 yuan) 3. The 32-kilometer ride time from Wulingyuan Ticket Station is 50 minutes.
If you choose a good tour guide, after leaving the station, the tour guide can directly take you to the scenic spot bus after receiving you, or the tour guide can arrange a special bus for you in advance.

I don't like to bring too much things when I go out. Don't worry about having too much luggage when I come to Zhangjiajie. Now, some drivers in Zhangjiajie make check-in luggage to the scenic spots and urban areas, which reduces everyone's travel burden and how to check in luggage? Tour guides in Zhangjiajie all know the addresses of those consignment stations, so just ask the tour guide to make arrangements. When you arrive at the inn, you can take your luggage to your room.

Zhangjiajie matters needing attention
Travelers on trains, don't trust anyone on the train, because Zhangjiajie Railway Station and the railway station have professional soliciting people, and many tourists respond.

Some self-driving travelers will pretend to be fake traffic police when they are about to arrive near Zhangjiajie. He will call your car and say that you have violated the rules. He will also say that you should take his sister for a ride and dare to go to work in the city. Then the woman will talk to you about Zhangjiajie tourism in the car. My guests have told me many times, and I have experienced it myself. The best thing to do in a situation like this is to ask him to show his ID.

It is best to wear sporty clothes when you come to Zhangjiajie. Umbrella and toiletries are not provided by scenic hotels. In summer, children and the elderly bring long-sleeved shirts. Because the temperature difference between morning and evening in the scenic area is large, they sleep with quilts at night. Traveling to Zhangjiajie in summer is a summer resort.

1. Xiangxi belongs to a ethnic area. When you enter the area, please respect some of the living habits of the ethnic minorities here and do as the Romans do when you enter the country!

2. Zhangjiajie is rainy. Please pay attention to the weather conditions in the scenic area in the next few days before departure, so as to carry clothes and umbrellas. The weather can also be very hot in summer. Tourists are advised to drink more water and bring their own sunscreen, anti-bite products and commonly used small medicines.

3. For sightseeing in Zhangjiajie Scenic Area, you need to take mountain roads. Be careful to prepare travel shoes that suit you. Never wear leather shoes, high heels and slippers.

4. In the park of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, tourists are requested to take good care of the ecological environment of the scenic spot. Do not smoke casually in the park. If you can't help it, you will have to smoke in the designated smoking room in the park.

5. When purchasing goods in Zhangjiajie or spending outside of your itinerary, you need to ask for the price before being a "understand consumer" to avoid unnecessary disputes.

6. High-risk outdoor travel such as rafting (the elderly, children and the infirm are not allowed to participate), and at the same time, your own valuables such as mobile phones, cameras, glasses, wallets, etc. should be stored to avoid flooding, damage, loss, etc.

7. The so-called trip to Zhangjiajie is just a propaganda slogan made by Huangshizhai Cableway Company to let you ride the cableway. If you visit Huangshi Village after visiting Yuanjiajie and Tianzi Mountain, you will regret it. Zixia Temple must not go here. It's very dark!
