The hotel is located not far from the Zhangjiajie National Park. From the airport, you need to first take airport bus to downtown, then change to a coach to the scenic area, then a private car to the hotel, quite troublesome.

It is recommended to travel by taxi directly, taking about CNY80-120. Or contact your hotel to see if they offer pick-up service.
