One direct flight from Hangzhou to Zhangjiajie on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. So you can take a bullet train from Taizhou to Hangzhou taking only 1.5-2h, then fly to Zhangjiajie and the flight duration is 2.5h.
Bullet trains with a transfer in Changsha are also OK which may take you CNY10 hours in total.

No bus from Chongqing to Zhangjiajie due to the long distance. You need to take a train. There are three direct normal trains and no direct high speed trains. If you prefer high speed trains, you have to transfer at Huaihua.
