I am Xiaoqian, who loves traveling. I have been to Zhangjiajie twice. I will share my personal experience in Zhangjiajie traveling. I hope it can help you. After reading this article patiently in 1 minute, you will definitely avoid detours during your travels in Yunnan.

❤【Written in the foreword】❤

I have been to Zhangjiajie twice. First of all, I will tell you very clearly: Zhangjiajie’s famous attractions are distributed in different areas. You must consult the local tour guide in advance to help you with travel guides. Renting a car and booking tickets and hotels by yourself is not only expensive but also very troublesome!
We didn't consider finding a Taiwan travel agency at that time, so we wanted to travel freely and planned to travel for 6 days and 5 nights. We did a lot of guides ourselves, and we were dazzled (I still feel dizzy when I think about it now). In the end, the budget was about 5,000 yuan per person, which felt a bit unprofitable.

Later, a Taipei friend who had traveled to Zhangjiajie recommended me the local tour guide Lingling, Zhangjiajie, and contacted her to help us plan the private tour of Zhangjiajie for free, which helped us save a lot of money, take fewer detours, and wait less in line (among them, the admission tickets for Tianmen Mountain and Bailong Ladder are the most tight, and it is really hard to get a ticket without booking in advance).

---

Lingling planned a 6-day and 5-night private tour in-depth tour of Zhangjiajie for us, with an average of more than 2,500 yuan per person (the fees include: customized private tours, luxury cars for travel, and a 24-hour pick-up station for a dedicated person, 6-night 4-star hotel accommodation, including tickets for all attractions, transportation, meals, and tour guide services)Without any travel shopping or invisible consumption, we will save a lot of money and take a lot of detours! Lingling's service is very attentive and enthusiastic. She knows the local area of ​​Zhangjiajie very well. My parents have a very happy time! So I'm happy to make a small advertisement for the tour guide Lingling

I posted Lingling's contact information below and planned to travel to Zhangjiajie or other cities in China. I can ask her for free consultation.

【Save money strategy】: My personal experience is that when traveling, you should try to find a local tour guide to plan the itinerary for the most affordable, so as to save Taiwan travel agencies from making the difference between the price, and directly connect with the tour guide to better understand the local instant travel information in Zhangjiajie. More importantly, if you have any problems, you can directly ask the tour guide to help solve them.

1. Go through the group from Taiwan? Local private group in Zhangjiajie? Free travel?

2. What attractions are necessary to visit when traveling to Zhangjiajie? Do you need to book tickets and hotels in advance? How to plan the route?

3. How much does it cost to play? Anti-fraud, super affordable strategy for saving money.

4. It is best to go to visit that season, and detailed precautions.

1: Local private tour? Free travel? 10 people travel together? How do I get a free guide consultation?

I have been to Zhangjiajie twice. The first time I was a graduation trip in 2019. The most recent time was Zhangjiajie, which I took my parents to last month. Zhangjiajie has a suitable climate all year round and is the most popular tourist destination. After three years of closure of the epidemic, many Chinese and Chinese tourists have exploded this year. Now Avatar Scenic Area, Tianmen Mountain and other scenic spots have taken the lead."Peak staggered current limit + booking in advance", the number of people is limited every day, and you need to make an appointment in advance to book tickets before you can go in. In addition, there are many tourist attractions in Zhangjiajie and they are relatively scattered. If you do not plan the route in advance, it is still quite annoying to play.

We didn't consider finding a Taipei travel agency at that time. At the beginning, we wanted to travel freely and planned to play an 8-day and 7-night itinerary. We did a lot of strategies ourselves, and many of them were copied and watched. I was dazzled by the fact that I finally had a budget of about 5,000 yuan per person. It felt a bit unprofitable.

Later, a friend who had been to Zhangjiajie recommended Lingling, a local excellent tour guide at Zhangjiajie. We contacted Lingling through (WeChat WeChat). She is the tour guide for a private group customized tour in Zhangjiajie. Before leaving, she asked her to solve all our travel arrangements. We are only responsible for purchasing air tickets from Taipei to Zhangjiajie Airport. Let Lingling help us plan travel routes, book hotels, chartered cars, tour guide services and ticket reservations throughout the whole process. On the day of arrival, Lingling also picked us up at the airport to check in the hotel, which was both cost-effective and easy-the overall tour experience was really good!

If you plan to go to Zhangjiajie or other tourist cities in China, you can scan and add Lingling’s WeChat consultation. Just make friends. You can consult for free while traveling. It’s also good to prevent being deceived!

2: Which attractions are necessary to visit Zhangjiajie? Do you need to book tickets and hotels in advance? How to plan the route?

---

Based on my experience in traveling, the following main attractions are recommended:

---

1.【Essential Scenic Area】: Zhangjiajie Forest Park, Tianmen Mountain, Grand Canyon Glass Bridge, Furong Town, Phoenix Ancient City
2.【Internet celebrity check-in】: Avatar Scenic Area, Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area, Shili Gallery, Tianmen Cave, Glass Bridge, Furong Town

The mountains of Zhangjiajie are unique beauty in the world, and are the location of Avatar. However, the scenic spots in Zhangjiajie are relatively scattered. It is recommended that you must book and plan the tickets, chartered cars, and hotels to visit before departure. We were the local tour guide Lingling who contacted directly one month in advance to help you plan the free travel route, and finally decided on the travel plan. (I used to apply for the air tickets from Taiwan to Changsha-Zhangjiajie in mainland China. After the discount, we were exempted by about 300 yuan)

---

Reminder ❤: Not familiar with scenic spots and tourist routes, do not book hotels in advance at will, otherwise it will be a waste of time. Some hotels are far away from the scenic spots and transportation is not convenient. Setting the wrong location will affect the visiting time. I suggest that you contact the tour guide directly to book the hotel. Many scenic spots adopt"Appointment in advance + staggered current limit", The number of people entering the park is limited every day, and you need to make an appointment in advance to book a ticket before you can go in and have fun. I asked Lingling to help you solve these problems. I suggest you can consult Lingling for free. (That is, it is recommended by Taiwanese Xiaoqian, let her give you the best price!)

Our 8-day and 7-night boutique small group route plan for our trip to Zhangjiajie:

D1: [On the first day] Taiwan flight to Zhangjiajie or Changsha → Driver picks up 24 hours a day✈️ Check in a four-star hotel → Free activities

We took a plane to Zhangjiajie Airport. Lingling and the driver picked us up at the airport exit. After receiving us, we took us to the hotel where we stayed and signed a formal travel contract with their company. We paid the remaining group fee. We went to the Zhangjiajie Ancient City at night (must try the local hot pot. Many local treasure restaurants recommended by #nicheng, which are super delicious!)

D2: [Day 2] Zhangjiajie National Forest Park-Jinbianxi-Huangshizhai-Yangjiajie-Yuanjiajie

D3: [Day 3] Jinbianxi-Shili Gallery-Baofeng Lake-Xibu Street

D4: [Day 4] Tianmen Mountain - 99 Bend - Glass Plank Road - Tianmen Cave - Furong Town - Phoenix Ancient City

D5: [Day 5] Fenghuang Ancient City—Xiangxi Miao Village—Tusi City—Changsha—Orange Island Park

D6: [Day 6] Changsha - Free Activities - Return to Taiwan

---

If you are going to Zhangjiajie for the first time, this is the 6-day and 5-night Zhangjiajie private group high-end customized tour booked by Lingling. The average per capita is only about RMB 2,500. The specific price still depends on your personal consumption, hotel standards and number of days of visit! It is definitely much more affordable to consult Lingling in advance than to register for free travel. If you travel freely, just attractions tickets, accommodation and transportation costs will be at least more than 5,000 yuan. Because Lingling's company and various local scenic spots and hotels have cooperation, they can help you get it at an extremely low price. This is also one of the important reasons why I recommend Lingling to you, save money!

1. Weather and clothing

The temperature difference between day and night in Zhangjiajie is large, and the temperature difference between the four seasons is relatively small. The mountains are cool in summer, but the city needs to pay attention to sun protection; it will snow on the mountains in winter. It is recommended to bring hiking poles, wear anti-slip shoes, and keep warm. Whenever you go, you should bring a disposable raincoat or umbrella, because the weather in the mountains is changing and it may rain at any time. In addition, it is recommended to wear comfortable sneakers to make it possible to hike and wade. If you don’t know the specific temperature and weather conditions, it is recommended that you consult our tour guide Lingling in advance.

2. Transportation and accommodation

Zhangjiajie Hehua International Airport and Changsha's Huanghua National Airport are the main transportation hubs, which can be directly connected or connected by stopping in other cities. There are many hotels to choose from in the city, such as Zhangjiajie Huatian Hotel, Zhangjiajie Sunshine Hotel, etc., Jialaite International Hotel, etc., which have complete facilities and considerate services, suitable for tourists with different needs. If you want to get closer to nature, you can choose to stay at a resort inn near Wulingyuan or Tianmen Mountain. We asked Lingling to send us hotel pictures in advance for us to choose our favorite hotel.

3. Tickets and reservations

Popular attractions in Zhangjiajie such as Tianmenshan National Forest Park, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Wulingyuan, etc. It is recommended that the tour guide help you book tickets in advance to avoid queuing up to buy tickets on site to waste time and unable to purchase tickets. Especially for Tianmenshan National Forest Park, tickets need to be purchased one week in advance during the peak tourist season and cannot be purchased on site.

Things to note

1. Safety first
When walking in the scenic area, please follow the guide's guidance and do not climb or wade alone. The glass plank roads in Tianmen Mountain and the glass bridges in Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon are both quite thrilling. Visitors suffering from heart disease, hypertension and other diseases are please make careful choices. At the same time, pay attention to protecting personal belongings and do not place valuables in crowded places.

2. Respect nature

Please do not litter in the scenic area or damage vegetation; keep a distance from animals and do not harass animals. Especially the wild macaques in Tianmen Mountain, they may snatch tourists’ food and backpacks, so please do not open the backpack or expose the food in front of the monkey.

3. Save physical strength

The mountain road in Zhangjiajie is relatively steep. It is recommended to consult the guide in advance the characteristics and distance of each attraction and formulate appropriate tour routes. Maintaining good rest habits can help save energy and enjoy the attractions better. At the same time, you can carry some light snacks and water to replenish your energy at any time.

Food recommendations

There are many kinds of food in Zhangjiajie. In addition to the Zhangjiajie Sanxiaoguo and Tujia buckle pork mentioned above, there are also special dishes such as rock-eared Chinese chicken and beating drum skin. In terms of snacks, Pueraria root powder, sugar-oiled cakes, bamboo rice, etc. are all good choices. In the ancient city of Fenghuang, you can also taste local Miao cuisine, such as Miao family sauerkraut powder, blood bay duck, etc. If you want to have a more authentic local flavor, you should let the tour guide lead you to better.

Here are some tips for preventing fraud in Zhangjiajie travel:

1. You cannot book accommodation in advance when visiting Zhangjiajie, otherwise you will take many detours. If you go back, you must first plan your itinerary and then set accommodation in the relative area according to the itinerary. It is recommended not to play by yourself unless you are a rich man and let others care about money. Zhangjiajie is not only a tourist city, but also a city with high per capita consumption!

2. There are many scenic spots to visit in Zhangjiajie, and the scenic spots are relatively scattered. It is recommended to plan them in advance, otherwise you will be very tired!

3. Don’t participate in various low-priced tour groups. Nowadays, the general low-priced tour operators in Zhangjiajie have mandatory consumption and. The group fee is very low, so don’t participate in those low-priced groups.

4. Before departure, you should make a general itinerary and choose a hotel you like. Try not to choose the hotel your travel team likes to stay. You can consider business vacation-type and distinctive boutique hotels, which are highly concerned about individual customers.

5. Don’t believe the nonsense of "running away" drivers on the street, especially gentlemen. Don’t go to have fun with them because of their "lustfulness". Most of the time, it’s because of their mutton but they’re all slut.

Many people ask whether it is better to go out for a group or to travel freely?What is certain is that no matter where you go, there is a familiar person with you, which is definitely the best place. There are many inconveniences when going out. Most tourist cities have relatively high consumption. It is definitely better to find a reliable local to take with you than to play with yourself. No matter how safe and time-saving, you are traveling for relaxation. It is difficult to play well if you worry about everything. You have to enjoy the travel process.

---

Let’s summarize the benefits of choosing a local tour guide:

First: Traffic issues

At that time, I checked many flights and high-speed rails, and the prices were relatively expensive, and the air tickets and high-speed rail tickets were also very tight. Finally, the tour guide booked a round-trip discount ticket for me through channels and also enjoyed the air ticket subsidy policy. I took a luxury business car throughout the trip, which was very comfortable. In short, this trip to Zhangjiajie was very happy! .

Second: Itinerary

The advantage of asking the tour guide to arrange the itinerary is to play whatever you want. Design the itinerary according to your own arrangement. You can arrange it according to the specific time if you want to play for a few days. The most important thing is that you are not restricted by the time and constraints of the team. If the scenery is beautiful, stop and enjoy more and take more photos. It is very free. I can't join a group with others, and I can sleep until I wake up naturally every day.

Third: Food and accommodation issues

I arranged all the local star-rated hotels in Zhangjiajie. The prices are not only affordable but also the environment is particularly comfortable. It is not worth mentioning to eat this part. I have basically tasted all the specialty foods in Zhangjiajie. Lingling took me to taste a lot of local specialty snacks.

❤【Written at the end】❤

Before we set off, we were also dazzled by the guides online. Finally, we consulted friends who had been to Zhangjiajie to recommend a local tour guide with good reputation and service to us - Lingling. I added her WeChat and chatted for about a week. She answered many questions about my trip to Lingling in China. In the end, we chose to ask her to plan the itinerary for us. Lingling is very real and the service is also very good. Many friends who have been to Lingling for fun have recommended her. We went to China twice to ask her to help plan and book, saving time, money and worry-free, having fun and making more friends.

There is no need to spend my energy on researching strategies. Many strategies are copied. It is recommended to find a familiar local tour guide to get the free guide directly. Every time I travel, I save money and energy.

Thank you very much for the tour guide Lingling who planned the itinerary for us throughout the whole process. My parents had a great time! So I'm happy to advertise for her
