Trains from from Luoyang to Zhangjiajie
I am looking for trains from Luoyang to Zhangjiajie. I saw a few weeks ago that the K267 sleeper train stopped at Luoyang-Guanlin station, but now I can not find tickets for that option anywhere. Could you please help?
What could be a good alternative way to go from Luoyang to Zhangjiajie?

I cannot find the train neither. I think it has stopped service. The alternative way is to take bullet trains from Luoyang to Changsha and then onward to Zhangjiajie. The total duration is 7.5-9hrs.

Unfortunately no direct train between the two currently. You need a transfer in Changde.

It is very easy and convenient. The bus station is just at the left of the train station, get on the bus to the Forest Park directly without buying the tickets at the station, as the tickets are sold on the bus. The bus will take you to the beautiful Jinbian Stream, which is really worth a visit.

It should not be a problem! I think the office works 24 hours a day. I saw a train to Huaihua at 6am, so the station and office must be working at that time!
