Hi, we are a group of 4 from Malaysia and would like to visit Zhangjiajie. We will be arriving at Chengdu from Nov 12th to Nov 18th, what is the best way to go to Zhangjiajie from Chengdu?

Dear Abby,

Thank you for your inquiry.

You can take a train from Chengdu to Huaihua (怀化) first, then transfer to a train to Zhangjiajie from Huaihua.

Chengdu-Huaihua(about 15 hours): Everyday, there are six trains departing from Chengdu to Huaihua, and a cheapest ticket (for a hard seat) is 120 yuan. Check out detailed train information: http://www.chinahighlights.com/china-trains/search-result.asp.

Huaihua-Zhangjiajie(about 4 hours): Everyday, there are 13 trains departing from Huaihua to Zhangjiajie, and a cheapest ticket is 19 yuan.

Considering of saving time, I recommend you take K424/K421 or K588/K585 for your journey from Chengdu to Huaihuai, and then transfer 1806/1807, K9063/K9066 or K9068/K9069 from Huaihuai to Zhangjiajie.

Hope this will help you.

Which one is a better choice to travel from Guangzhou to Zhangjiajie - a) get a bullet trian to Changsa then by bus. b) get a direct train straight to Zhangjiajie?

If you want to get to Zhangjiajie more quickly, a) is better. If you do not want to transfer means of transportation, b) is better. Lynn Ye Replied on 04:54 AM Mar. 26 2012

Is there any train connections between Zhangjiajie and Chengdu. It can be combination of bus and train. Where can I find this information please?

Hello, there is no direct train from Zhangjiajie to Chengdu. You can first take train 1258 to Yichang East Railway Station and then take trian K696 to Chengdu. You can search the trains' schedules at http://www.chinahighlights.com/china-trains/ Iris Zhong Replied on 04:11 AM Mar. 09 2012

Hi is there a train service from Zhangjiajie to Kunming please? If so how long does it take and how do I book please?

Yes. Train 1257 from Xiangyang to Kunming passing Zhangjiajie. But it is a slow train, and this is the only train running on this route. Expect to see large crowdes if you will take it. The journey takes around 24 hours. The best way is to ask a local travel agency to do that for you. Ruru Zhou Replied on 02:11 AM Feb. 28 2012
