No available flights from Zhangjiajie to Guangzhou or Shenzhen

Hi,

Im doing this route but originating in Zhangjiajie and final destination Hong Kong. I am looking at flights leaving from Zhangjiajie to either Guangzhou or Shenzhen but I cannot find a direct flight end of May. Do you know if there are still flights operating from Zhangjiajie to anywhere close to Hong Kong?

If not, what would the route look like in reverse starting in Zhangjiajie? Thanks so much for the help!

No flights from Zhangjiajie to Shenzhen or Guangzhou. You may reserve Zhangjiajie - Hong Kong with a transfer in Shanghai flights.

You can also travel by high speed train, like this: Zhangjiajie - Changsha - Hong Kong, which costs much less.

Answered by Ben | Mar. 28, 2024 06:22

Thanks for confirming! Is that better or faster than Zhangjiajie - Guangzhou / Shenzhen - Hong Kong?

Answered by Lori | Mar. 28, 2024 18:32

High speed trains are cheaper and there is no big difference on total travel time.

Generally, you need to transfer in Guangzhou or Changsha. You can buy tickets on TravelChinaGuide directly and it is better to book at least 15 days in advance.

There are many hotels near the stations. You can check about Jinjiang Inn, Fulan Tehe Hotel (Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain) and James Joyce Coffetel. They are all about walking distance.

High speed train on-time arrival?

Hi,

Do the bullet trains to Changsha from Hong Kong arrive on time and do the trains from Changsha to Zhangjiajie leave on time? I'm thinking of taking the G80 train from Hong Kong to Changsha (arriving in Changsha at 11:17 am). Then hop on the K810 train from Changsha at 11:29am to Zhangjiajie? Is it too tight to get on the 11:29am, including the time spent in buying the train ticket in Changsha or should I buy the K810 train ticket in Hong Kong ahead of time? Thank you.

Answered by Kyra from NEW ZEALAND | Jun. 09, 2019 19:41

This trip is impossible. The G80 stop at Changsha South Station and the rides to Zhangjiajie all depart from Changsha Station. They are two different stations. You need at least 30min on the way to go from one station to the other. If you also plan to buy a ticket between the rides, you may need even 1.5 hours.

How can I transfer from Guangzhou South Station to Guangzhou Station?

I am thinking about to go to Guangzhou South first from HK and then take the overnight train K9036 to Zhangjiajie? Which train should I take from HK to have enough time to make this connection? Thank you for your answer.

Answered by Krista from USA | Mar. 24, 2019 17:19

There is a metro line 2 go directly from Guangzhou South to Guangzhou taking 50min. Also, you need to prepare another 30 to 40min for boarding process at Guangzhou Station. So as long as you can have a 1.5 hours break between, it would be OK. By the way, collect both tickets in advance in HK!
