However, there is one inconvenience for this transfer as the Shenzhen - Changsha bullet trains are operated at Changsha South Station while Changsha - Zhangjiajie high speed trains are at Changsha Station. Fortunately, the two have been connected by metro line 2 and a metro ride can finish the distance between in about 35 minutes. If by taxi, it takes about 25 minutes and CNY 30-35. Passengers are advised to leave at least 1.5 hours for a transfer between the two railway stations.
 The flight is an even more time-saving way. However, there is only one pairs of direct flights. From Shenzhen to Zhangjiajie, it takes off at 22:15 and arrives at 23:55; from Zhangjiajie to Shenzhen, it departures at 07:05 and lands at 08:45. The flight ticket fare varies from CNY 800 to CNY 1,000 on usual days.
