We did''not find flight, bus or train to go from to LUOYANG to ZHANGJIAJIE . TIALOU
Dear TIALOU, Acctually there is no direct train or flight from Luoyang to Zhangjiajie. You could take a train from Luoyang to Zhengzhou(around 1.5 hours, CNY105/US$17), then take an overnight train to Zhangjiajie ( about 15 hours, CNY350/US$57). You could buy all the tickets at Luoyang railway station. Lussie Lu Replied on 2013-05-13

From Beijing to Xi'an you can choose either flight or bullet train(about 6 hrs) and flight from Xi'an to Zhangjiajie(there is not direct train). Leon Long Replied on 2013-01-06

There is no 2/3 days cruise tour to see the Dam, but you can  go to Yichang and have one day land tour to the Dam. You can take train from Xi'an to Yichang , then visit the Dam for one day then take another train to Zhangjiajie.
