  Transportation between Changsha Railway Station and Changsha South Railway Station:
Passengers can transfer between the two stations by subway line 2 or by city bus no. 135, 148, 263, 321. A taxi ride takes about 30 minutes and costs CNY 25.
 Only 2 direct flights are operated between the two cities, taking around 2 hours. Even in low season, the ticket fare for an economy class seat may be CNY 850 or so. If pressed for time, passengers can also make a flight transfer in Changsha and catch a train or bus to Zhangjiajie. In this case, there will be more choices and ticket price won’t be too high, especially in peak season.

In contrast, a rail trip costs less, but it takes a longer time. Although passengers can buy a sleeper to lie down onboard, the long-distance journey is not suitable for those who are pressed for time. Budget travelers with more time can choose to make a rail ride and they have a chance to see the beautiful scenery along the way.
