Q: Nancy Asked on 2013-01-04 Reply
Should I visit Zhangjiajie, Wulingyuan & FengHuang Cheng on late January? I want to cover those attractions in 5 days starting from say 23/1 flight there from Guangzhou or Shenzhen. Is it worth the visit? If yes, any recommend route and transportation. Many thanks

Dear Nancy,

Thanks for your enquiry!

It will be very cold in late January, it is now 0 degree in Zhangjiajie city, and it can be colder in the mountains. For a 5-day tour visiting Wulingyuan and Fenghuang, you can take a look at our pacakge here, http://www.chinahighlights.com/tour/zhangjiajietour/hun-4/   if it looks good to you, please advise your hotel standard and group size, I'd be more than happy to update the cost for you.
