China (Zhangjiajie, Hunan) Sept 2010 D-22 & D-23

Map of Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China

Hostel: hostel near train station - Y40 (1 night)
Train: Wudangshan > Zhangjiajie - CNY90 (Sleeper hard)
Entrance fee: CNY186 (discounted)
Food & groceries: CNY45
Total expenses incurred: CNY361


Zhangjiajie train station is quite near to the Zhanjiajie city and is closed to the cable car station. So on arrival, I decided to put up a night near the train station instead of staying in Zhanjiajie Zhongtian International Youth Hostel which I had earlier booked online. It was drizzling most of the time when I was in Zhangjiajie.

From the hostel, I walked to the Zhangjiajie cable car station and took a cable car (CNY186 inclusive of internal minivan rides within the resort) ride to the Wullingyuan scenic area, now called Zhangjiajie. This was the longest cable car ride I had taken for a mount resort climb.

" Wullingyuan scenic area now called Zhangjiajie became China's first National Park in 1983. An UNESCO heritage site, longest cable car ride, sandstone peaks and pillars, beautiful landscape, 3,000 odd plant species - a great place for nature lovers ...."
