Transfer in Guangzhou

Guangzhou Baiyun Airport

The fastest option here is to travel to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport from Singapore and fly to Zhangjiajie Hehua International Airport from Guangzhou, and this is the recommended version due to faster travel time and ticket prices.

The first leg of the journey will take just over 4 hours, the second leg 1 hour and 45 minutes, and both of these flights are with China Southern Airlines with prices for a return ranging between 380-450 USD. There are a few connecting options, with stop-overs ranging between 3 hours and 45 minutes to 5 hours.

Probably the second best stopover option is to fly from Singapore to Shanghai Pudong International Airport, which takes 4 hours, and then connect for a 2 hour and 40 minute flight to Zhangjiajie from there.

The transfer time in Shanghai is 4 hours, so the total flight time for this route is a bit longer than Guangzhou, and flights are China Eastern Airlines between Singapore and Shanghai, and Shanghai Airlines between Shanghai and Zhangjiajie. This flight combination costs between 400 USD and 600 USD depending on the time of year.

Zhangjiejie Travel Tips

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park gets very crowded at peak times.

The best time to go is when there are no public holidays in China, as it gets really busy in Zhangjiajie, and when the weather in Zhangjiajie is best between September and early November. Chinese public holidays will lead to more expensive accommodation and flights (and sold out flights), these times are:

• China's summer holiday season (July and August)
• Labor Day (May 1–3)
• National Day (October 1–7)
• Spring Festival (late January or early to mid February)
