Zhangjiajie has an airport (five kilometers away from the city center) and two railway stations (Zhangjiajie Station is located within the city, and Zhangjiajie West Station is about eight kilometers away). When taking a train to Zhangjiajie, it is important to determine which railway station it is, especially when leaving Zhangjiajie, otherwise the journey will be delayed.

If you are driving, regardless of whether you are coming from southeast, northwest or east, you have to turn onto the S10 and get off the highway at the "Zhangjiajie East" or "Zhangjiajie West" exit. For those coming from the east (Changsha/Changde direction), get off at the "Zhangjiajie East" exit, and for those coming from the west (Phoenix/Guizhou/Chongqing/Sangzhi), get off at the "Zhangjiajie West" exit.

It is recommended to take a taxi for urban transportation. Taxis are priced according to the meter, and generally arrive within 10-15 hours in the city. The taxi at the airport/train station does not have a meter and requires negotiation. It is recommended to take "Didi". I am traveling from West Railway Station to Tianmen Mountain Cableway, and Didi costs 19 yuan.

Transportation between scenic spots: Zhangjiajie City goes to Zhangjiajie Forest Park. There is a bus in Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot, and you can take the bus at Zhangjiajie Bus Station next to Zhangjiajie Railway Station (10-15 minute departure frequency); Note that the Forest Park and Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot are two different places (more than ten kilometers apart). When buying a ticket or taking a bus, ask clearly. The ticket to the Forest Park and Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot from the urban area is 13 yuan; At the entrance of the forest park (south gate), there is a car to the entrance of Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot (east gate) for 10 yuan.

There are many high-end hotels in the urban area of Zhangjiajie. There is no need to choose a place as the city is not large. The scenic spot in the city is Tianmen Mountain, and the cable car up the mountain is located in the city center. Go to Zhangjiajie and Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot Scenic Area. There are also many hotels at the entrance of Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot and Zhangjiajie Forest Park. There are home stay and hostels on the mountain (at the parking point of environmental protection vehicles). It is suggested to stay in Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot. If you want to play, you can enter Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot from the entrance (east gate). At night, there is no food in Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot Town, and shopping in supermarkets is very convenient; If you want to go to the Grand Canyon, Huanglong Cave, Baofeng Lake and Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot, it is convenient to start. If you want to see the sunrise, you can stay on the mountain of Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot. There are environmental protection car stops at the "No.1 Bridge in the World" and "Enchanting Terrace" in Yuan Family Circle. Find a hostel nearby.

Tianmen Mountain itinerary (one day)

 

 

 

 

More than three days of travel arrangements are abundant. Tianmen Mountain needs one day, and Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot and Zhangjiajie Forest Park need two days. If we still want to go to the Grand Canyon and Huanglong Cave, it will take another day.

My itinerary:

 

D0: Arrive at Zhangjiajie West Railway Station in the evening and check into a hotel within Zhangjiajie city.

D1: Departed at 9:00 am to Tianmen Mountain Cableway Station (city center), bought Tianmen Mountain tickets (including the up and down cableway and mountain elevator), tickets are divided into A and B lines; Line A is the Tianmen Mountain Cableway up the mountain (to the top) - the mountain elevator goes down from the top of the mountain to the bottom of Tianmen Cave - the 999 level ladder is climbed down on foot (there is also a fee for going down the elevator) - the Tianmen Cave Express Cableway goes down the mountain - the environmental protection car returns to the Tianmen Mountain Cableway station (city center). The B line is exactly the opposite. People who choose the B line can experience the feeling of climbing the 999 ladder. At the same time, if there are many people waiting in line on the A line, the B line is a time-saving choice.

My specific gameplay on Line A is as follows:

9: 30 Tianmen Mountain Cableway Station, about 50 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. The total length of the cableway is 7500 meters, with a drop of over 1200 meters. It passes through thick clouds in the middle, and it is cloudy at the foot of the mountain. Through the clouds, the sunlight shines brightly, as if entering a sunny paradise from the human world. Looking down from the mountaintop, there are mountains and a sea of clouds, and the sun shines brightly above.

 

10: After getting off the cable car, take the straight ladder to Yunmeng Xianding, which is the highest peak of Tianmen Mountain.

 

 

11: From 00:00 to 12:30, then descend from Yunmeng Immortal Peak to the cableway station to begin the circular tour of the mountaintop. It is recommended to first take the western route and then turn to the eastern route to travel around the mountaintop. Both the east line and the west line have a section of glass walkway, and the charging item is 5 yuan. My tour route: West Line - Li Na Villa - West Line glass walkway - Ghost Valley Tianchan - Suspension Bridge - Tianmen Mountain Temple - West Line - Love of Wood and Stone - South Overlooking Tianmen Cave - East Line glass walkway - Kouyun Pass - Yuhu Peak - North Overlooking Tianmen Cave - Mountain Climbing Escalator.

 

 

 

13: The 00 Mountain Escalator descends from the mountaintop to the bottom of Tianmen Cave.

 

13: From 30 to 14:00, there is a 999 ladder at the bottom of Tianmen Cave

14: From 00:00 to 14:20, walk from the entrance of the ladder to the Tianmendong Express Cableway Station

14: 20-14:40 Tianmendong Express Cableway descending the mountain

14: 40-15:10 Tianmendong Express Cableway Station, Environmental Protection Vehicle Returns to Tianmenshan Cableway Station (Urban Area)
